Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: May 28, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Peter Gilli, Community Development Director Michael Smith, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Hold Public Hearing and Consider Taking the Following Actions to Approve the Crestmoor Residential Project at 300 Piedmont Avenue:

1. Adopt a Resolution Certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, CEQA Findings, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations; and

2. Adopt a Resolution Amending the General Plan Land Use Designation for the dedicated portion of APN: 019-170-020 to change it from Low Density Residential to Open Space, amend other provisions contained in the General Plan regarding the preservation of open space and playing fields at the Crestmoor Site, and rescind City Council Resolution No. 2022-04 (GPA24-001); and

3. Introduce, Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading of an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map to rezone the dedicated portion of APN: 019-170-020, approximately 6.91 acres, from Single Family Residential District (R-1) to Open Space and Conservation District (O), (ZC24-001); and

The project site is owned by the San Mateo Union High School District (District) and is commonly known as the former Crestmoor High School at 300 Piedmont Avenue (APN: 019- 170-020). The project site is 40.2 acres and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Low Density Residential (2.1-8.0 DU/acre) and is in the R-1 Single-Family Residential zoning district.

The site is bounded by single-family residential neighborhoods to the north, west and south across significant grade changes, and is accessed by surrounding single-family residential neighborhoods from Courtland Drive to the north and Piedmont Avenue to the south. To the east is the San Bruno Chinese Church and Highway 280.

The District operated the site as a high school from 1962 through 1980. Since then, the site has been used as a continuation school, alternative high school, and for private uses. From 1987 to 2021, the playing fields were open to the public for use and were maintained and managed by Item 7a.

the City of San Bruno. Since 2021, the District currently has leased the playing fields on a short- term basis to AYSO and Lowen soccer clubs for youth soccer games and practices.

In 2019, the San Mateo Union High School District Board voted to declare the property as surplus and directed District staff to pursue its sale. In 2020, the District issued a Request for Proposals to invite developers to bid for the site, with the intent to construct or purchase workforce and/or teacher housing on another site with the proceeds from the sale. The District entered into a purchase and sale agreement with SummerHill Homes LLC (SummerHill).

On March 3, 2022, SummerHill submitted a preliminary application pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 330 which vested the project to the ordinances, policies, standards, and fees adopted and in effect when the application was filed. On August 23, 2022, the City of San Bruno received SummerHill’s formal planning application submittal for the property.

Settlement Agreement
The City’s General Plan includes policies related to the reuse of the project site. The Open Space and Recreation (OSR) Element of the General Plan lists school district facilities as part of “Additional Recreational Facilities in San Bruno” including 12 acres at the Crestmoor High School site. Policy OSR-8 of the General Plan states “During reuse of the former Crestmoor High School site (designated for single-family residential development), preserve the existing playing fields for recreational use per direction of the General Plan Update Committee.” On January 11, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution 2022-04 stating that OSR-8 requires the dedication of approximately 12 acres of playing fields at the former Crestmoor High School site with the proposed redevelopment. The District raised legal objections to the City Council’s findings on OSR-8 prior to and following the meeting that Resolution 2022-04 was adopted at.

To defer litigation related to the Resolution and allow time for negotiations, the City and the District entered into a Tolling Agreement on March 11, 2022. In late November 2022, the City and the District entered into a Settlement and Tolling Agreement, with the following contents:

On December 13, 2022, the City Council initiated a General Plan Amendment for the dedicated land, consistent with the settlement agreement.

Adoption of the resolutions and ordinance in this agenda item comply with the Settlement Agreement.

DISCUSSION:

Project Description
SummerHill proposes a subdivision consisting of a new public street connecting Courtland Drive and Piedmont Avenue, a network of private streets, 155 two-story single-family homes, land dedication to the City totaling 6.91 acres of which 5.3 acres is for the primary public park with the remainder of the dedicated land on the east side of the new Courtland Drive for recreation- supportive uses, such as walking paths, benches and associated parking. The stormwater detention area for the residential project is located at the western end of the parkland but will be maintained by the homeowner’s association. Figure 2 shows the illustrative landscape plan for the project, which demonstrates the proposed project is consistent with the conceptual plan included in the settlement agreement.

Reduced Lot Size and Setbacks
Within the R-1 Zoning District, new lots are required to be 5,000 SF, and 6,000 SF for corner lots. The project utilizes the flexibility granted by a Planned Unit Permit (PUP) to cluster residential units on smaller lots in order to make land available for open space dedication and to avoid development on the sloped portions of the property. The Municipal Code requires that each square foot that a buildable lot is reduced is made up for in land retained as open spaces and related uses in perpetuity. The design of the lots requires at least 18.5 acres of open space on the site, and the project exceeds this by providing approximately 27 acres.

The project meets required front yard and garage setbacks of 15’ and 20’ respectively and proposes 4’ side yard and minimum 6’ rear yard setbacks where 5’ and 10’ are typically required. Reduced setbacks are also allowed in a Planned Unit Permit (PUP), and the modest reduced setbacks requested fulfills General Plan policy LUD-5 by allowing small-lot single-family housing as efficient and compact infill development.

Site, Architectural, and Landscape Design
Neighborhood 1 is designed around three floorplans and three styles each, incorporating a contemporary take on the surrounding traditional styles in the existing neighborhood. The similar palette of materials provides a cohesive thread throughout with the use of lap siding, brick, stone, and stucco finishes.

Neighborhood 2 uses more traditional architectural style. Three distinct styles are proposed within four floorplans, with the introduction of a variety of roof tile types and window forms, board and batten siding, and brick veneers. Within both neighborhoods, a range of color schemes, architectural front doors and garage doors, and lighting add variety to the streetscape.

All front yards will be landscaped with drought-tolerant trees and plants, and automatic irrigation.

Lattice-topped fencing will be installed on street frontages with view fencing installed adjacent to wooded open spaces. A decorative low fence and enhanced plantings will be included on lots across from the proposed head-in parking areas along Courtland Drive.

Street Design
A newly constructed roadway from Courtland Drive to Piedmont Avenue will be installed as a public street. The northern segments of Courtland Drive near the future park have a 55-foot right-of-way (ROW) width, including two travel lanes, perpendicular parking on one side for the future park and sidewalks on both sides. Standard City streetlights will be provided on the public street. As part of the project, the developer is responsible to construct the travel lanes and sidewalk on the project site. The City is responsible for the perpendicular parking and sidewalk on the east side of the street, because the parking is intended for the future park.

For the southern segments of Courtland Drive, the ROW width is 45-feet, including two travel lanes, parallel parking on one-side, and sidewalks on both sides. The City is responsible for constructing the sidewalk on the east side of the street. Typically, the City would require at least 50 feet of ROW width for public streets. Municipal Code Section 12.44.070 allows modified public street standards to be approved as part of a subdivision map. The travel lanes, curb and gutter design, and sidewalk widths for the public street meets City standards. The narrower width of the southern segments of Courtland Drive exist because on-street parking is only proposed on one-side of the street, thereby narrowing the overall ROW. The proposed Courtland Drive shown in the Settlement Agreement conceptual plan was not intended to have parking on both sides of the street.

The other streets in the project will be private streets maintained by the homeowner’s association that are 38 feet wide, consisting of two travel lanes, parking on one-side, and sidewalks on both sides. Black architectural streetlights with downcast luminaires will provide lighting along all private streets.

Park Dedication
The Project proposes a total of 6.91 acres dedicated to the City for open space and recreational purposes, including 5.3 acres for future field use, and the remaining area on the east side of the future Courtland Drive that is intended for parking for the future park and passive recreation opportunities.

Tree Removal and Replacement
The Project proposes removal of 271 trees, 182 heritage and 89 non-heritage trees, within the developable area, as shown on Sheet L6.0 of the plan set (Attachment 13). The Project proposes 220 24-inch box trees and 72 36-inch box trees as replacement for trees removed 22 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Page 7 of 11 ends

within the developable area, which complies with the Municipal Code standard for replacements. Additional selective tree removal within the natural open space may be performed as part of the Fire Management and Vegetation Management Plan for the Project.

The assessment and selection of trees for removal will be carried out by a certified arborist in coordination with the San Bruno Fire Department.

Affordable Housing
The Project includes 24 onsite below market rate (BMR) homes (8 for low-income households and 16 for moderate-income households) spread throughout the two neighborhoods, with 12 BMR homes located within each neighborhood. The total number of BMR homes exceeds the requirements of Chapter 12.230 by one unit. The exterior design of the BMR homes will be indistinguishable from the Project’s market rate homes. The Applicant has provided an affordable housing plan which specifies the preliminary location of the BMR units and specifies a deed restriction as the mechanism that will be used to assure that the units remain affordable for a period of 55 years. The project approvals include a condition of approval requiring recordation of an affordable housing agreement, in general conformance with the Applicant’s affordable housing plan, with the Final Map.

Density Bonus Request
The applicant requests a density bonus concession, which is allowed for this project by State law. The applicant is not utilizing the ability to increase project density but is requesting a concession for the utility undergrounding for approximately 100-200 feet of overhead lines where Courtland Drive intersects the Project site, which is required by Section 12.84.090.B. The applicant states the significant cost associated with this improvement and its direct impact on their ability to provide the proposed housing project. Based on the specifics of this request, staff believes the concession must be granted.

Required Entitlements/Approvals
The proposed project requires the following entitlements and approvals:
• General Plan Amendment: Changes the land use designation for the dedicated land to Open Space, revises Policy OSR-8 and makes other minor amendments (Attachment 4) consistent with the Settlement Agreement. Also included in this resolution is the recission of Resolution 2022-04. Minor technical corrections have been made to the Exhibits of Attachment 4 since the Planning Commission hearing. • Zoning Map Amendment: Changes the zoning map (Attachment 5) for the dedicated land to O (Open Space and Conservation District). The zoning map exhibit was amended for clarity since the Planning Commission hearing. • Project Entitlements (Attachment 6):
o Vesting Tentative Tract Map: Shows the layout and details for the proposed subdivision of the 40.2 acres.
o Planned Unit Permit (PUP): Allows the clustered, smaller lots sizes and reduced setbacks, which preserves more open space, and includes the Affordable Housing Plan (Attachment 12).
o Density Bonus Request: Allows the concession for undergrounding utilities. o Architectural Review Permit (AR): Allows the proposed new buildings and landscaping design.
o Tree Removal Permit: Allows the proposed tree removal permits with required replacements.

Planning Commission
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 7, 2024 regarding the project. Most public comment was regarding the loss of the playing fields and the resulting displacement of the soccer clubs (AYSO and Lowen) that currently utilize those fields. Other comments pertained to traffic, existing maintenance issues where the property interfaces with the adjacent neighborhood, and a suggestion to increase residential density on the site to preserve more open space. Staff and the applicant have followed up with neighbors who brought up maintenance issues. The traffic situation was analyzed in detail in the environmental impact report. A number of speakers also spoke in support of the project.

The Commission unanimously adopted resolutions 2024-03, 2024-04, and 2024-05 (Attachments 7, 8 and 9), recommended that the City Council certify the EIR, make CEQA findings, adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting program and a statement of overriding considerations, and approve the project, subject to certain conditions of approval and instructed staff to forward them to City Council for consideration.

Field Use
One of the primary topics raised by the public during the review of this project has been the need of soccer fields for local soccer clubs, as these clubs lease the fields from the District at this time.

The construction of the project will result in the fields being graded and unavailable until the future park is built. To prepare for the construction of the future park, the City initiated the Crestmoor Multi-Use Fields Master Plan Project process in January 2023 to design the public soccer fields and other public amenities envisioned for the 5.3 acres available for field use. The City entered into a contract with Callander Associates Landscape Architects (CALA) to facilitate a community engagement process, build consensus for a preferred master plan, and prepare plans and supporting documents delineating proposed multi-use fields facility improvements at the site. A determination of funding and timing related to the master plan project will occur after the project is entitled, the District’s sale of the property to the developer is completed, and the developer files for a Final Map, improvement plans and other construction related requirements.

While the proposed project affects the fields, finding interim fields and finalizing the funding and timing of the future park construction is not a responsibility of the applicant, and should not be part of the decision-making process for the consideration of this housing project.

Legal Notice
• Notices of public hearing mailed to property owners and residents within 1,000 feet of the subject site on May 17, 2024; and
• Advertisement published in the San Mateo Daily Journal, Saturday, May 18, 2024.

Public Comments
Staff received several public comments in response to the public notice that was distributed for the project. Below is a list of the commentors and a summary of their comments. All comments have been attached to this staff report for reference (Attachment 10). • John Kevranian – Supports the project.
• San Mateo County Economic Development Association (SAMCEDA) – Supports the project.
• Jack McCann – Opposes the project because it does not include enough density. 24 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
May 28, 2024

Page 9 of 11 ends

• San Mateo County Association of Realtors (SAMCAR) - Supports the project. • Rich Fern – Has concerns about the proposed recreational fields and relocation for the soccer clubs that currently use the space.
• Andrew Caughman – Supports the project but has concerns about the slope stability of the hillside behind the homes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Since the property is owned by a public entity, the site currently generates no property taxes.

The completed project will generate property taxes annually, with the City’s share estimated to be about $400,000 a year. The project will also increase service demands to the property, including but not limited to street and utility maintenance, park maintenance, and responses to public safety calls.

The project will be required to pay approximately $4.9 million in Development Impact Fees, with about $3.2 million for Community Facilities.

The project would dedicate 6.9 acres of land to the City for recreational purposes at no cost.

The conceptual master plan projects the park construction to be $10 million in 2023 dollars.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared that analyzes the proposed project and a project variant. The Draft EIR evaluated seventeen (17) areas of potential environmental impact in detail. Implementation of the project would not result in any environmental impacts on agricultural and forestry resources or mineral resources; therefore, these issues were not analyzed in the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR determined the project would have potentially significant impacts related to biological resources, cultural resources, geology, soils, and paleontological resources, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, construction noise, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and utilities and service systems.

Fifteen mitigation measures have been identified to reduce these impacts to a less than significant level. The Draft EIR identified significant impacts in the areas of vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) impacts on transportation and greenhouse gases would remain significant and unavoidable even after the implementation of mitigation. In general, any proposed housing project on this site is expected to trigger significant VMT impacts because of the site’s location away from transit corridors.

The Draft EIR analyzed project alternatives, including a higher density project, and each were rejected because they either did not achieve the project objectives or did not result in significant reduction in impacts.

CEQA Review Process
• April 10, 2023 – Notice of Preparation
• April 18, 2023 – Scoping Meeting (PC)
• October 20 – December 5, 2023 – Draft EIR Circulation (45 day period) • October 26, 2023 – Draft EIR Public Meeting (PC)
• April 9, 2024 – Final EIR published (responding to public comments on the Draft EIR) • May 7, 2024 – Planning Commission hearing recommending City Council certification of Final EIR
25 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
May 28, 2024

Page 10 of 11 ends

CEQA allows a City to certify an EIR even with significant unavoidable impacts through a statement of overriding considerations. This is recommended for this case because the project is consistent with the General Plan vision for the property, the project would develop an unused school site for housing, the project will result in vegetation management of the hillside which will benefit public safety, adding 155 housing units to the City, including 24 affordable units, and the project will result in preservation of active and passive recreational opportunities.

RECOMMENDATION:

Hold Public Hearing and Consider Taking the Following Actions to Approve the Crestmoor Residential Project at 300 Piedmont Avenue:

1. Adopt a Resolution Certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, CEQA Findings, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations; and

3. Introduce, Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading of an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map to rezone the dedicated portion of APN: 019-170-020, approximately

6.91 acres, from Single Family Residential District (R-1) to Open Space and Conservation District (O), (ZC24-001); and

ALTERNATIVES:

1. The City Council can continue this item for more consideration to request changes to the project as proposed and/or the conditions of approval; or

2. The City Council may decide not to approve the applications but doing so may be inconsistent with the spirit of the settlement agreement with the District and could have Housing Accountability Act (HAA) implications.

On October 20, 2023, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to receive public comment on the Draft EIR; and

WHEREAS, the City prepared written responses to the comments received during and immediately following the public review and comment period and included those comments and responses in a separate volume entitled "300 Piedmont Avenue Project Final Environmental Impact Report" dated April 2024 (the "Final EIR", and together with the Draft EIR, the “EIR”). The City also prepared a Statement of Overriding Considerations (“SOC”), and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP") regarding implementation of mitigation measures specified in the EIR pursuant to the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines; and

WHEREAS, on May 7, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Final EIR and adopted Resolution 2024-03 recommending that the City Council certify the Final EIR, adopt CEQA findings and facts, a statement of overriding considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program; and

WHEREAS, a Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to properties within a 1,000-foot radius of the Property and to other parties on May 17, 2024, and duly published in the San Mateo Daily Journal on May 18, 2024, providing notice of the City Council’s May 28, 2024 public hearing regarding the EIR, and the Project approvals (the “Project Approvals”); and

WHEREAS, on May 28, 2024, the City Council held a Public Hearing on the FEIR, SOC, MMRP, and Project Approvals for the Project, where the public was able to participate and comment, and on said date the public hearing was opened, held and closed.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Bruno, in its independent judgment based on facts in the DEIR, FEIR, staff report, written and oral testimony, and exhibits presented, hereby adopts the statements, facts and findings in the document entitled “Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations for the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project” attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference (the “CEQA Findings”), and makes the following additional Findings and actions, all pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines for the Project Approvals.

31 1. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the FEIR and DEIR, and written and oral comments regarding environmental effects, prior to acting on the Project Approvals. Each of the following City Council findings is supported by and elaborated in the attached CEQA Findings.

2. Based on all written and oral evidence and testimony in the record, the FEIR and DEIR comply with the requirements of CEQA and adequately identify and consider all potential significant environmental effects of the Project and reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis.

3. The DEIR and FEIR identified certain environmental effects of the Project that may remain significant and unavoidable despite implementation of the recommended mitigation measures. However, certain economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations and public benefits of the Project outweigh these significant unavoidable effects and justify and support accepting those effects and approving the Project, as described in the SOC included in the CEQA Findings.

4. The City Council has considered additional mitigation measures that might meet the basic project objectives and reduce or avoid such significant impacts, and the Council has determined that they are either not available or not feasible. The DEIR evaluated alternatives to the Project that might reduce or avoid such significant impacts, which the City Council has considered. The City Council has determined that there are no feasible alternatives that might reduce or avoid such significant impacts that accomplish all or most of the objectives for the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project, and the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project itself is the best alternative that can be feasibly implemented taking into consideration the relevant economic, legal, social, technological and other reasons and public benefits of the Project.

5. The MMRP attached as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference describes the mitigation measures recommended by the EIR to reduce and avoid potential significant effects of the Project, and adequately identifies the appropriate timing and enforcement details for each to ensure each mitigation measure is implemented.

6. The City Council in its independent judgement herby: (a) adopts and makes the CEQA Findings and certifies the EIR as legally adequate under CEQA as to each and all of the Project Approvals, (b) determines that identified considerations and public benefits outweigh significant unavoidable adverse environmental effects and that mitigation measures and alternatives that are consistent with the Project objectives and might reduce or avoid such effects are not feasible, and adopts the SOC to support its approval of each of the Project Approvals, and (c) adopts the MMRP and incorporates its provisions as conditions of approval for the Project Approvals to the extent appropriate.

FINDINGS F
OR THE
300 PIEDMONT AVENUE PROJECT
34 Findings for the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Required under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et seq.)
1 Introduction
The California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code [PRC], Section 21000 et seq.) (CEQA), provides that “public agencies should not approve projects as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of such projects” and that the procedures required by CEQA “are intended to assist public agencies in systematically identifying both the significant effects of proposed projects and the feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures which will avoid or substantially lessen such significant effects.” (PRC, § 21002.) A project may be approved despite its significant environmental effects if there are specific economic, social, or other considerations which justify approval notwithstanding unmitigated impacts. (PRC, § 21081.)
The mandate and principles established under CEQA are implemented, in part, through the requirement of Public Resources Code section 21081 which states that, before approving projects, agencies must: 1) make written findings with regard to the disposition of each significant impact; and 2) if significant unavoidable impacts remain after mitigation, identify overriding considerations explaining why the lead agency will continue to move ahead with the project. For each significant environmental effect identified in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a proposed project, the approving agency must make a written finding supported by substantial evidence reaching one or more of three conclusions, as described in CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Section 15000, et seq.). CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 specifically provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
(a) No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. The possible findings are:
(1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. (2) Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR. (b) The findings required by subsection (a) shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record.

The “changes or alterations” referred to in the CEQA Guidelines may be mitigation measures, alternatives to the project, or changes to the project by the project proponent. The Final EIR for the Project identifies mitigation measures that will reduce significant effects of the Project. A Mitigation 35 Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will also be adopted by the City to ensure that the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR and these findings will be implemented.

CEQA requires that the lead agency adopt feasible mitigation measures or feasible alternatives to substantially lessen or avoid significant environmental impacts that would otherwise occur. As defined by CEQA, “feasible” means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, legal, and technological factors (PRC, § 21061.1; see also CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6(f)(1) (determining the feasibility of alternatives)).

It can also take into account underlying goals and objectives of the project in addition to the desirability of the mitigation and alternatives. (CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6(f).) As required under CEQA, the EIR describes the proposed project, adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project, and mitigation measures and alternatives that would substantially reduce or avoid those impacts. Each member of the City Council was provided a complete copy of the Final EIR for the Project in advance of the hearing on the Project. The City hereby finds that the Final EIR reflects its independent judgment. The City also finds that it has independently reviewed and analyzed the Final EIR prior to taking final action with respect to the Project.

The City Council hereby adopts the following Findings.
2 Description of the Proposed Project and Objectives

2.1 Project Description

The Project is located on a 40.2-acre parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 019-170-020) at 300 Piedmont Avenue in the City of San Bruno. Piedmont Avenue becomes Courtland Drive (a private driveway with a public access easement) at the southern entrance to the project site and runs north–south along and close to the eastern edge of the project site. Interstate 280 (I-280) runs east of Courtland Drive, with the San Bruno Chinese Church located between Courtland Drive and I-280 near the northern entrance to the project site and a vegetated area otherwise separating the two roadways. Vehicular access is provided to the project site from Piedmont Avenue at the southern entrance and Courtland Drive at its northern entrance. The Final EIR for the Project reviews the environmental impacts of proposed development.

The project would redevelop the project site into a new 155-lot single-family, detached-home community with associated open space and infrastructure located at 300 Piedmont Avenue (project site).

The Project would also include dedication of approximately 6.91 acres of public open space to the City, which the City would own and maintain. The City would also construct improvements within about 5.3 acres of the 6.91 acres of the dedicated open space area in the northern area of the project site, including a sports field with permanent nighttime lighting fixtures. The other 1.61 acres along Courtland Drive would be improved by the City and would be available for recreational supportive uses. Parking would be provided along Courtland Drive, within the recreational parcel, and along the northern extent of the residential ring road. The field would be striped to allow reconfiguration of fields to accommodate various sizes of fields. The Crestmoor Fields Master Plan was recently approved by the San Bruno City Council. The field design could use synthetic turf or natural grass and would allow for a maximum of six soccer fields in use at any one time. Another option would include striping for up to two little league 36 baseball fields and five soccer fields, allowing for a maximum of two little league games or five soccer games to occur at one time.

For a detailed description of the Project see Chapter 2, Project Description, of the Draft EIR.

2.2 Project Objectives
Per CEQA Guidelines section 15124(b), the objectives of a proposed project “should include the underlying purpose of the project and may discuss the project benefits.” Importantly, the “objectives will help the lead agency develop a reasonable range of alternatives to evaluate in the EIR and will aid the decision makers in preparing findings or a statement of overriding considerations, if necessary” (CEQA State Guidelines Section 15124(b)).

The project objectives, for purposes of CEQA, include the following.

1. Redevelop an underutilized site with a residential neighborhood that provides a variety of home sizes at a density that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.

2. Provide housing at a range of income levels (including low- and moderate-income households) that would assist the City in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) targets.

3. Develop a project that is compatible with the existing biological setting and that provides improved management of preserved open space.

4. Provide wildland fire protection and maintenance of existing wooded areas.

5. Provide recreation fields and other public facilities and amenities to provide recreational opportunities, including providing for evening uses to maximize availability of the fields and facilities.
3 Record of Proceedings and Location of Record
The City of San Bruno is the lead agency for the Project. The scoping process for this EIR was initiated on April 10, 2023, when the City submitted the Notice of Preparation (NOP) to the California State Clearinghouse for distribution to the necessary parties. The purpose of the NOP is to solicit participation from relevant agencies and from the public in determining the scope of an EIR. The scoping period for this EIR ended on May 11, 2023, and a public scoping meeting was held on April 18, 2023, at the San Bruno Senior Center (1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno, California 94066).

Consistent with CEQA’s requirements, the Draft EIR was made available to the public and regulatory agencies for review and comment during the minimum 45-day comment period between October 20, 2023, and December 5, 2023. A Planning Commission meeting was held on October 26, 2023, to provide information about the Draft EIR, respond to general questions about the Draft EIR analysis, and accept oral comments on the Draft EIR.

The Final EIR was prepared in accordance with CEQA and contains responses to each comment received and resulting revisions to the Draft EIR. All written comments received during the public review period are responded to in Chapter 3, Responses to Comments, of the Final EIR. Revisions to the Draft EIR are contained in Chapter 4, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of the Final EIR. 37 The documents and other materials that constitute the record upon which the City’s decision and these findings are based can be reviewed in person at the following location:

4 Draft Findings Regarding Environmental Impacts
and Mitigation Measures
Upon approving the Project, the City must adopt findings of fact regarding the significant effects identified in the Final EIR. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the City is also adopting an MMRP for the mitigation measures that are the City’s responsibility to implement. The MMRP establishes a program to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR will be implemented.

4.1 Draft Findings Regarding Significant and
Unavoidable Impacts
The City, based on the Final EIR, determines that the following significant effects cannot be avoided.

Feasible mitigation measures included in the Final EIR will lessen these effects but will not result in complete mitigation of the effects to a less-than-significant level. For these impacts, there are no feasible mitigation measures or feasible alternatives that would reduce the impacts to a less-than-significant level and the impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. The titles/numbers of the effects are the same as those in the Final EIR. The following identifies the pertinent mitigation measures by number and summary title.

4.1.1 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Impact GHG-1: The project would generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRA-2, w hich is hereby adopted and incorporated into the project, would reduce the impacts related to generation of GHG emissions but not to a less-than- significant level. Although the City finds Mitigation Measure TRA-2 feasible, special considerations, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(3), make further mitigation measures or alternatives to address GHG emissions infeasible. Therefore, the City hereby determines that any impacts related to GHG emissions would be significant and unavoidable.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(3) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect. 38 Facts in Support of Finding: The primary source of emissions during project operation1 would be mobile-source GHG emissions from vehicles traveling to and from the project site (i.e., project-generated VMT). The project’s estimated VMT would be 14.7 daily miles per resident, accounting for the fact that the project includes affordable units and increases the residential density of the neighborhood.

Nonetheless, project-generated VMT would exceed the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) threshold of 12.4 daily miles per resident, or 15 percent below the regional average VMT for the region of 14.6 daily miles per resident. At 14.7 daily miles per resident, the project would result in a rate of VMT that exceeds the regional average by 0.1 mile per capita and exceeds the threshold by 2.3 miles per capita. Thus, the project would not result in a VMT reduction relative to the regional average; rather, it would result in a VMT increase.

The only available onsite Transportation Demand Management (TDM) str ategy deemed applicable and
feasible for this project to reduce VMT is trip reduction marketing coordinated by the Homeowners Association (HOA), which is expected to achieve up to a 4 percent trip (and VMT) reduction below ITE trip generation rates. Other strategies such as electric bike share, car share, and unbundled parking 2 were considered for this site, but were deemed infeasible at the present time for single-family homes on the project site. All three of these strategies require minimum densities and urban/suburban environments with a mix of land use types to be successful. Bikeshare requires that key destinations are within biking distance and the location of this project site is neither within biking distance nor is it supported by biking-friendly roadway design. Electric bikeshare programs are effective when applied at a community-wide scale in environments with supportive bike facilities (lanes, trails, parking, etc.).

There is no evidence that they reduce VMT when applied at an individual project scale. The lack of supportive bicycle facilities in San Bruno makes this measure particularly unlikely to reduce VMT.

Carshare and unbundled parking are meant to support a car-free or car-light lifestyle. Other modes (transit, walk, bike) need to be viable options to replace car trips and again, because of the low-density, single-use nature of this project and surrounding neighborhood, important destinations (e.g., grocery, school, healthcare, work, etc.) are not within typical walking or biking distance. Similarly, the low- density residential neighborhood does not support transit service. Car share offerings only reduce VMT when other travel options are available and equally if not more appealing than car travel for at least some trips. Because of the isolation of this project site in a low-density single-use neighborhood, the project is designed to be accessed by a car. The necessity of always using a vehicle will negate the usefulness of a car share option, which would be more expensive on a per trip basis than owning a personal vehicle. Unbundled parking only reduces VMT when it means that someone forego owning a personal vehicle and can live car-free or car-light. Furthermore, plentiful free, on-street parking (as is provided with Crestmoor) would render unbundling meaningless. Residents could still park without cost even if it wasn’t in their own driveway. Reducing parking supply was also determined to be inconsistent with the Municipal Code. While an HOA could offer transit subsidies, that was determined to be ineffective at the present time in this location given the lack of nearby or high-quality transit options. For the reasons described above, those lifestyle choices are unavailable with this project. 1 As explained in the Draft EIR, BAAQMD’s CEQA Guidelines or Justification Report do not identify a GHG emissions threshold for construction -related emissions. Nonetheless, BAAQMD’s 2022 CEQA Guidelines recommend the quantification and disclosure of construction GHG emissions. As such, the significance of GHG emissions in the Draft EIR is based on an evaluation of Project operations.
2 Unbundled parking is when parking spaces are sold or leased separate from the sale or lease of the residential property.
39 No mitigation is available to reduce this impact to less than significant. As such, the project would be inconsistent with the BAAQMD GHG emissions requirement. The project consists of low-density single- family homes located in a primarily single-use neighborhood with few convenient walking or biking options to access shopping, work, education, or other opportunities. The project is also not located near any high-quality transit lines, nor does it add a mix of land uses or amenities that could reduce the number of vehicle trips or trip lengths for the existing or future residents of the neighborhood. These environmental characteristics result in project trips being made almost exclusively by car, and so, even though trip lengths may be shorter than the regional average, the share of trips made by car (instead of walk, bike, or transit) prevents the site from complying with state goals to reduce VMT below current levels. Therefore, even with mitigation, it is unlikely that the project can achieve 12.4 VMT per resident under Existing Plus Project conditions. Because a VMT mitigation fee, bank, or exchange program does not currently exist, at this time additional mitigation through financial contribution is not feasible. As a result, the impact remains significant and unavoidable. The City Council concludes, however, based upon the EIR, that the proposed project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable effects of the proposed project resulting as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations in Section 6, below.

Mitigation Measure TRA-2: Impleme
nt Transportation Demand Management Program
Prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the residential component of the project, the applicant shall submit to the Community Development Director a TDM program that aims to reduce residential VMT to 12.4 miles per capita, consistent with a 15 percent reduction in VMT from the current regional average of 14.6 miles per capita. At minimum, the TDM program shall include an HOA transportation alternatives marketing program to reduce VMT from the residential component of the project.

The marketing program is expected to achieve up to a 4 percent trip (and VMT) reduction below ITE trip generation rates. Additional measures shall be included in the TDM program that, at the time the TDM program is submitted, are feasible, and appropriate for the residential component of the project, considering the proposed use and its location and size, in an effort to reduce VMT from the residential component of the project as indicated by the performance standard of this mitigation measure (12.4 miles per capita). Other measures that may be considered include but are not limited to, the following.
 Pre-Sale Marketing Program
 New Owner Trip Reduction Pledge (sales program)
 Pre-sales Trip Reduction Information
 New Owner TDM/Trip Reduction Welcome Packet
 TDM Plan - Purchase Contract/Escrow Disclosures
 Bike Parking Facilities
 Add Class II bike racks to HOA park
 Add bike repair fix-it station to HOA park
 Resident Incentive Program
 Prizes and rewards (bike, carpool, and vanpool)
 Quarterly promotions
40  Voluntary Travel Behavior Change Program (includes Commuter Coordinator, annual survey, and reporting)
 Travel Behavioral Intervention (on-site annual event)  Education, Marketing, and Outreach
 Online HOA Commuter Resource webpage
 Ride-Sharing (carpool matching) Programs (marketing/outreach)  School Pool Programs (marketing/outreach)
 Onsite E-Bike Subsidy Program
The applicant or HOA, as an alternative means of achieving all or a portion of the VMT reductions, has the option to participate in any adopted applicable VMT mitigation fee, bank or exchange program that would allow development projects to offset project VMT impacts by contributing money into a program to fund offsite VMT reducing projects or programs (such as, but not limited to, dedicated bike lanes, community shuttles, transit service improvements, roadway gap closures, or pedestrian network expansion). To be eligible, the mitigation fee, bank, or exchange program would need to meet the following requirements.  Real/verifiable: Identifies actual projects that would be implemented under the program within a reasonable period of time of the contribution as well as the expected attributable VMT reduction from each project.
 Additional: Projects implemented under the program would not be implemented if not for the financial contribution to the program.
 Measurable/Enforceable: Contains VMT reduction metrics that provide for conversion of the financial contribution to the program to an equivalent VMT reduction that can be applied to the project.

The applicant shall implement any pre-sale marketing component of the TDM program commencing upon initial marketing activities. The HOA shall implement the balance of the TDM program commencing upon full occupancy of the residential component of the project.

The Community Development Director may approve modifications to the residential TDM plan proposed by the applicant or the HOA that are consistent with the original findings and conditions approved by the review authority. A request to modify the TDM plan may only be granted if it is demonstrated to be at least as effective as the original TDM plan in furthering the transportation goals of the San Bruno General Plan by promoting and increasing transit use, ridesharing, walking, and bicycling to minimize the number of residents traveling in single- occupant vehicles and improving the mobility and general efficiency of circulation and transportation systems by reducing single occupant vehicle trips and total VMT within the community and the region.

The residential TDM program shall include annual monitoring and reporting requirements completed by a neutral third party on the effectiveness of the onsite component of the TDM program for the first 5 years after full site buildout. The HOA shall submit an annual report documenting the TDM activities undertaken and their results to the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director or designee shall evaluate the overall effectiveness of all TDM activities and may suggest new, modified, or substitute activities that are reasonable, feasible, and appropriate for the residential component of the project, considering the proposed use and its location, to meet the program’s objectives. 41 Annual reporting requirements include information on the TDM marketing program, site occupancy, resident mode share, work-from-home rates, and use of alternative modes. For the first year after full occupancy, the onsite monitoring report must also include a 24-hour screenline vehicle count across all the residential neighborhood street gateways. This count shall be compared to the trip generation estimates prepared as part of the project EIR and will serve as a guidepost for compliance with the 4 percent onsite reduction target.

The HOA may need to supplement the marketing program with other measures if initial monitoring results show limited usage of alternative modes and higher than expected trip counts.

Impact GHG-2: The project would conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Finding: The proj ect does not comply with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2022 Scoping Plan. Therefore, the City hereby determines that the project would conflict with state, regional, or local plans to achieve the GHG reduction goals mandated by SB 32 for the year 2030 and AB 1279 for the year 2030 and 2045. Special considerations, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(3), make further mitigation measures or alternatives to address GHG emissions infeasible. Therefore, the City hereby determines that any impacts related to GHG emissions would be significant and unavoidable.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(3) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: The proj ect would conflict with CARB-identified project attributes. The project includes 24 onsite below market rate (BMR) homes (8 at low-income levels and 16 at moderate income levels, for a total of 15 percent of affordable units) distributed throughout the two neighborhoods, which would not meet the threshold of 20 percent of affordable units. As a result, the project would be inconsistent with this attribute.

While on its face the project does not comply with the BMR threshold of 20 percent affordable units,

additional BMR units for this project would not reduce the related GHG impact. As indicated in CARB Scoping Plan Appendix D3, affordable housing is linked to a reduction in VMT when it is near transit. For example, for this threshold, Appendix D cites “Income, Location Efficiency, and VMT: Affordable Housing as a Climate Strategy.”4 This paper concludes “that location-efficient affordable housing is a justified climate strategy not because location-efficient living is associated with deeper absolute VMT reductions for lower-income populations than for wealthier populations – no statistically significant differences were found – but because lower-income populations use location-efficient space more efficiently, which allows the same land area to yield more VMT reductions.” Appendix D also cites “Why Creating and Preserving Affordable Homes Near Transit is a Highly Effective Climate Protection Strategy.”5 As explained in that report, a key finding was that, “Lower Income households drive 25-30% fewer miles when living within 1/2 mile of transit than those living in non-TOD areas. When living within HCD’s 1/4 mile of frequent transit they drove nearly 50% less.”

https://chpc.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/4-AffordableTODResearchUpdate070114.pdf. 42 The project site itself is not conducive to an increase in BMR units to reduce VMT because it is not considered to be in a site that is location efficient. The project consists of low-density single-family homes located in a primarily single-use neighborhood with few convenient walking or biking options to access shopping, work, education, or other opportunities. The project is also not located near any high- quality transit lines, nor does it add a mix of land uses or amenities that could reduce the number of vehicle trips or trip lengths for the existing or future residents of the neighborhood. These environmental characteristics result in project trips being made almost exclusively by car, and so, even though trip lengths may be shorter than the regional average, the share of trips made by car (instead of walk, bike, or transit) prevents the site from complying with state goals to reduce VMT below current levels. Therefore, even with mitigation, it is unlikely that the project can achieve 12.4 VMT per resident under Existing Plus Project conditions. Because a VMT mitigation fee, bank, or exchange program does not currently exist, at this time additional mitigation through financial contribution is not feasible. As a result, the impact remains significant and unavoidable. The Council concludes, however, based upon the EIR, that the proposed project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable effects of the proposed project resulting as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations in Section 6, below.

Furthermore, the project would not provide residential parking supply at a ratio of less than one parking space per dwelling unit. It would not be feasible to reduce the residential parking supply at the project site. It would be inconsistent with Municipal Code and limited in its effectiveness given the abundant supply of free neighborhood and recreational parking; therefore, it is not included in the TDM program.

Thus, the project would be inconsistent with two of the CARB-identified project attributes related to VMT reduction. The Council concludes, however, based upon the EIR, that the proposed project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable effects of the proposed project resulting as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations in Section 6, below.

Mitigation Measure TRA-2: Implem
ent Transportation Demand Management Program
Implement Mitigation Measure TRA-2, the full text of which is provided above for Impact GHG-1.

Cumulative Impact – Greenhouse Gases: The project would result in a cumulatively considerable impact with regard to GHG emissions during operations.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRA-2, wh ich is hereby adopted and incorporated into the project, would reduce the cumulative impacts related to generation of GHG emissions during operation of the project but not to a less-than-significant level. Although the City finds Mitigation Measure TRA-2 feasible, special considerations, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(3), make further mitigation measures or alternatives to address GHG emissions infeasible.

Therefore, the City hereby determines that any impacts related to GHG emissions would be significant and unavoidable.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(3) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: If a proj ect is designed and built to incorporate the design elements listed in Table 3.7-3 of the EIR, then it would contribute its portion of what is necessary to achieve California’s long-term climate goals—its “fair share”—and would not make a cumulatively considerable contribution to global climate change. The proposed project would not be consistent with all BAAQMD land use Threshold Option A design elements, because the project would not achieve a reduction in project generated VMT of 15 percent below the regional average. The project’s estimated VMT would be

14.7 daily miles per resident, accounting for the fact that the project includes affordable units and 43 increases the residential density of the neighborhood. Nonetheless, project-generated VMT would exceed the threshold of 12.4 daily miles per resident, or 15 percent below the regional average VMT for the region of 14.6 daily miles per resident. At 14.7 miles per resident, the project would result in a rate of VMT that exceeds the regional average by 0.1 mile per capita and exceeds the threshold by 2.3 miles per capita. Thus, the project would not result in a VMT reduction relative to the regional average; rather, it would result in a VMT increase.

The only available onsite TDM strategy deemed applicable and feasible for this project to reduce VMT is trip reduction marketing coordinated by the HOA, which is expected to achieve up to a 4 percent trip (and VMT) reduction below ITE trip generation rates. Other strategies such as electric bike share and car share were considered for this site but were deemed infeasible at the present time for single-family homes on the project site. Unbundled parking was also considered but is not infeasible for single-family homes. Many TDM strategies are only applicable at higher densities and when a site has shared facilities like garages, bike rooms, or community rooms. While an HOA could offer transit subsidies, that was determined to be ineffective at the present time in this location given the lack of nearby or high-quality transit options. Finally, reducing the parking supply was also considered for this site but determined to be inconsistent with Municipal Code and limited in its effectiveness given the abundant supply of free neighborhood and recreational parking; therefore, it is not included in the TDM program.

No mitigation is available to reduce this impact to less than significant. As such, the project would be inconsistent with this BAAQMD requirement. The project consists of low-density single-family homes located in a primarily single-use neighborhood with few convenient walking or biking options to access shopping, work, education, or other opportunities. The project is also not located near any high-quality transit lines, nor does it add a mix of land uses or amenities that could reduce the number of vehicle trips or trip lengths for the existing or future residents of the neighborhood. These environmental characteristics result in project trips being made almost exclusively by car, and so, even though trip lengths may be shorter than the regional average, the share of trips made by car (instead of walk, bike, or transit) prevents the site from complying with state goals to reduce VMT below current levels.

Therefore, even with mitigation, it is unlikely that the project can achieve 12.4 VMT per resident under Existing Plus Project conditions. Because a VMT mitigation fee, bank, or exchange program does not currently exist, at this time additional mitigation through financial contribution is not feasible. As a result, the impact remains significant and unavoidable. The Council concludes, however, based upon the EIR, that the proposed project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable effects of the proposed project resulting as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations in Section 6, below.

4.1.2 Transportation
Impact TRA-2: Transportation. The project would conflict or be inconsistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b).

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRA-2, w hich is hereby adopted and incorporated into the project, would reduce the impacts related to consistency with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b), but not to a less-than-significant level. Although the City finds Mitigation Measure TRA-2 feasible, special considerations, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(3), make further mitigation measures or alternatives to address consistency with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, 44 subdivision (b) infeasible. Therefore, the City hereby determines that the project would conflict or be inconsistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b), and such impacts would be significant and unavoidable.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(3) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and stated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: The pro ject would result in a significant impact related to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) if it would lead to VMT per resident higher than 15 percent below the existing regional average of 14.6 VMT per resident. This sets the threshold for project generated VMT per resident at 12.4 VMT. Using the C/CAG VMT Estimation Tool, the estimated VMT per resident with the project is estimated to be 14.7 daily miles per resident.

The only available onsite TDM strategy deemed applicable and feasible for this project to reduce VMT is trip re
duction marketing coordinated by the HOA, which is expected to achieve up to a 4 percent trip (and VMT) reduction below ITE trip generation rates. Other strategies such as electric bike share and car share were considered for this site but were deemed infeasible at the present time for single-family homes on the project site. Unbundled parking was also considered but is not feasible for single-family homes. All three of these strategies require minimum densities and urban/suburban environments with a mix of land use types to be successful. Bikeshare requires that key destinations are within biking distance and the location of this project site is neither within biking distance nor is it supported by biking-friendly roadway design. Electric bikeshare programs are effective when applied at a community- wide scale in environments with supportive bike facilities (lanes, trails, parking, etc.). There is no evidence that they reduce VMT when applied at an individual project scale. The lack of supportive bicycle facilities in San Bruno makes this measure particularly unlikely to reduce VMT.

The project consists of low-density single-family homes located in a primarily single-use neighborhood with few convenient walking or biking options to access shopping, work, education, or other opportunities. The project is also not located near any high-quality transit lines, nor does it add a mix of land uses or amenities that could reduce the number of vehicle trips or trip lengths for the existing or future residents of the neighborhood. These environmental characteristics result in project trips being made almost exclusively by car, and so, even though trip lengths may be shorter than the regional 45 average, the share of trips made by car (instead of walk, bike, or transit) prevents the site from complying with state goals to reduce VMT below current levels. Therefore, even with mitigation, it is unlikely that the project can achieve 12.4 VMT per resident under Existing Plus Project conditions.

Cumulative Impact - Transportation: The project would make a cumulatively considerable contribution to a conflict with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b).

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRA-2, w hich is hereby adopted and incorporated into the project, would reduce the cumulative impacts related to consistency with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b), but not to a less-than-significant level. Although the City finds Mitigation Measure TRA-2 feasible, special considerations, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(3), make further mitigation measures or alternatives to address consistency with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) infeasible. Therefore, the City hereby determines that the project would conflict or be inconsistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b), and such cumulative impacts would be significant and unavoidable.

Facts in Support of Finding: VMT, in its nature is a cumulative analysis because its comparison is to per capita VMT. As explained in Impact TRA-2, the proposed project and variant VMT per resident would be 14.7 VMT per resident, which exceeds the threshold of 15 percent below the existing regional average of 14.6 VMT per resident.

The only available onsite TDM strategy deemed applicable and feasible for this project to reduce VMT is trip re
duction marketing coordinated by the HOA, which is expected to achieve up to a 4 percent trip (and VMT) reduction below ITE trip generation rates.

4.2 Draft Findings Regarding Significant Impacts
Mitigated to Less-Than-Significant Levels
The City has determined that, for the following effects, mitigation measures included in the EIR will mitigate the effects of the Project to a less-than-significant level. The following identifies the pertinent mitigation measures by number and summary title.

4.2.1 Air Quality
Impact AQ-2: Air Quality. The project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is a nonattainment area for an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure AQ-1, whi ch is hereby adopted and incorporated into the Project, would reduce construction impacts related to a cumulatively considerable net increase in criteria pollutants to a less-than-significant level. The City finds the implementation of BAAQMD Best Management Practices for Construction-Related Fugitive Dust Emissions as included in Mitigation 47 Measure AQ-1 to be feasible. With implementation of Mitigation Measure AQ-1, which requires implementation of BAAQMD Basic Best Management Practices, this impact would be less than significant.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and stated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: Proje ct construction activities, such as demolition, rough grading, and material hauling, would generate fugitive dust emissions (i.e., PM2.5 and PM10). As noted in BAAQMD’s 2022 CEQA Guidelines, projects implementing the BAAQMD-recommended basic BMPs for construction- related fugitive dust emissions are considered to have a less-than-significant criteria air pollutant impact related to construction-generated fugitive dust emissions. As such, before the inclusion of feasible BAAQMD-identified BMPs, the proposed project’s construction-generated fugitive dust emissions would be considered significant. Consistent with the analysis of fugitive dust emissions for the residential component, fugitive dust emissions resulting from development of the recreational site would be considered significant before the inclusion of feasible BAAQMD-identified BMPs.

Mitigation Measure AQ-1: Requir e Implementation of BAAQMD Basic Best Management Practices for Construction-Related Fugitive Dust Emissions The project sponsors shall require their contractors, as a condition of contracts (e.g., standard specifications), to reduce construction-related fugitive dust emissions by implementing BAAQMD’s basic BMPs, including (but not limited to) the following measures.  All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.  All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material offsite shall be covered.  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.
 All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.  All roadways, 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.
 All excavation, grading, and/or demolition activities shall be suspended when average wind speeds exceed 20 mph.
 All trucks and equipment, including their tires, shall be washed off prior to leaving the site.
 Unpaved roads providing access to sites located 100 feet or farther from a paved road shall be treated with a 6- to 12-inch layer of compacted wood chips, mulch, or gravel.  Publicly visible signs shall be posted with the telephone number and name of the 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 General Air Pollution Complaints number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
48 For the residential component of the project, the project sponsor shall submit evidence of compliance to the City prior to grading permit issuance. For the recreational component, the City shall document compliance by its contractor.

4.2.2 Biological Resources
Impact BIO-1: Biological Resources. The project would have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1a , BIO-1b and BIO-1c, which are hereby adopted and incorporated into the Project, would reduce construction and operational impacts related to nesting and migratory birds, bats, and woodrats to a less-than-significant level. The City finds protection for nesting and migratory birds, bats, and woodrats to be feasible. With implementation of mitigation, the Project would not have a substantial adverse effect on nesting and migratory birds, bats and woodrats.

The City hereby determines that any construction impacts related to nesting and migratory birds, bats and woodrats remaining after implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1a, BIO-1b and BIO-1c would be less than significant.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: Woodr at stick nests were observed within the mixed pine eucalyptus forest habitat during the May 1, 2023, field survey and were also documented in the applicant-prepared biological resources assessment. It is expected that avoidance of all or most of the woodrat nests should be feasible, as most of the area where construction would occur is already developed and is unsuitable habitat for nest development; however, any construction or demolition activity that results in harm or mortality to this species, or in nest abandonment, may be considered a significant impact under CEQA.

Most nests are present in the wooded area and could potentially be removed or disturbed by vegetation management work during construction and during ongoing operational activities.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1a woul
d be implemented to reduce the potential for impacts on San Francisco dusky-footed wood rat through conducting preconstruction surveys to identify any nests 30 days prior to the onset of construction. This survey timing would allow for the scheduling of and relocation of woodrat nests, if necessary. The survey should encompass all construction zones. It is expected that avoidance of all or most of the nests would be feasible for construction, as most of the area where construction would occur is already developed and is unsuitable habitat for nest development. For operation,
Tree removal and project construction could potentially remove habitat or disturb nests of nesting or migratory birds. Construction impacts would be potentially significant because of the potential to remove active nests. Trees, shrubs, and buildings occurring on and adjacent to the site could be used by raptors and other migratory birds for nesting. Project-related activities that adversely affect the nesting success of raptors and migratory birds (i.e., lead to the abandonment of active nests) or result in mortality of individual birds constitute a violation of state and federal laws. Disturbance of nesting bird species during nesting season could result in nest abandonment or the loss of fertile eggs or fledglings.

Vegetation management activities could pose a similar risk to nesting birds as construction activities if they involve tree trimming or tree or vegetation removal pursuant to the vegetation management plan 49 (Appendix H) when the trees or vegetation have active nests, or use of loud equipment (e.g., chainsaws, mowers) near active nests.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1b includes preconstruction and construction requirements to avoid and minimize potential impacts on migratory and nesting birds. Construction would occur either outside of the nesting season or, if it occurs during the nesting season, avoidance and buffers would be implemented to prevent nest abandonment. For operation, Mitigation Measure BIO-1b includes preconstruction and construction requirements to avoid and minimize potential impacts on migratory and nesting birds. Construction would occur either outside of the nesting season or, if it occurs during the nesting season, avoidance and buffers would be implemented to prevent nest abandonment.

No evidence of bats was observed during the April 2022 site visit however, the presence of bats inside the onsite buildings or within tree cavities within the forested portions of the site cannot be fully discounted. It is also possible the wooded area has larger trees with cavities that could also serve as roosting habitat for locally occurring bat species. Special-status bats known to occur in the region include Townsend’s big-eared bat, big free-tailed bat, and pallid bat. Tree removal or ground disturbance activities during construction and demolition could disturb active nests and result in mortality of roosting bats. Project-related activities that adversely affect the nesting success of bats (i.e., lead to the abandonment of active nests) or result in mortality of individual bats could be a potentially significant impact. Impacts on bats may occur similar to construction during vegetation management activities that involve tree removal pursuant to the vegetation management plan.

Implementation of mitigation measure BIO-1c would require conducting preconstruction surveys within the project footprint and within a 50-foot buffer of the project footprint. If a nonbreeding or nonwintering bat colony is found, the individuals shall be humanely evicted via the partial dismantlement (two-step removal) of the trees or buildings prior to removal under the direction of a qualified biologist to ensure that no harm or take would occur to any bats as a result of removal activities. If a maternity colony or overwintering colony is detected in the trees or buildings of the site, then a construction-free buffer should be established and remain in place until it has been determined that the nursery or overwintering colony is no longer active. Mitigation measure BIO-1c would be implemented to similarly reduce operational impacts.

With implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1a, BIO-1b, and BIO-1c, impacts to sensitive species would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1a: C
onduct Preconstruction Survey for Duskyfooted Woodrat and Implement Appropriate Measures
Prior to project demolition/construction and prior to the vegetation maintenance activities that could potentially have an impact on woodrat nests, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey for San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat nests within and adjacent to the project footprint no more than 30 days prior to the onset of construction activities; demolition activities; and vegetation management activities that may impact woodrat nets, as defined in the vegetation management plan with input from a qualified biologist. This survey timing allows for the scheduling of and relocation of woodrat nests, if necessary. The survey shall encompass all construction zones and surrounding lands within 50 feet of these zones.

Two to three temporary shelters such as an upside-down half-wine barrel or wooden box with rodent-sized opening shall be placed near the nest to be disassembled to provide any evicted woodrats a safe cover (refugia). Deconstruction of the nest shall be conducted by the biologist on the opposite side of the nest as temporary refugia so that woodrats have a direct path to the refugia.
 Disassembling work shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in afternoon/evening hours to the extent practicable to limit stress to any evicted woodrats. Deconstructed nest material shall be placed on a tarp to either dispose of it or to use it to rebuild a nest with the same material in a different location. Materials on the tarp shall include structural, nesting chamber, and stored food. Relocation of nests shall be built as close as possible with a center chamber at the bottom with nesting material and food stores with sticks forming a chamber above this. If forming a nest chamber is difficult given the material of the original nest, additional sticks from the surrounding areas can be used or a wooden box with a hole cut for the entrance can be used based on the judgment of the qualified biologist.
 Survey results and any disassembling and relocation work (if needed) shall be documented in a report provided to the city.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1b: Avo id Impacts on Nesting Birds.

To address impacts on nesting raptors and migratory birds, project-related activities (i.e., demolition, construction, vegetation management) that occur during the breeding season (February 1 through August 31) should be constrained in the vicinity of any active nests. If tree removal, use of powered equipment (e.g., chainsaws, line trimmers, mowers), or ground- disturbance activities are scheduled to commence during the breeding season, nesting bird surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to identify possible nesting activity. A qualified biologist shall conduct preconstruction/pre-activity surveys for nests on any tree, other vegetation, or structure within 500 feet of the project/activity footprint no more than 14 days before demolition, construction, or vegetation management activities begin. If no active nests are found during focused surveys, no further action under this measure will be required.

No tree shall be removed or trimmed if an active bird nest is present. If necessary, modifications to the project design to avoid removal of occupied habitat while still achieving project objectives shall be evaluated and implemented to the extent feasible.

If avoidance of the nesting season is not feasible or conflicts with project objectives, demolition, construction, and vegetation management with powered equipment shall be prohibited within a 51 buffer (generally 50 to 100 feet for songbirds and 250 to 500 feet for raptors, depending on the location and the professional judgment of the qualified biologist) of the nest to avoid disturbance until the nest is no longer active. Buffers may be reduced according to the discretion and professional judgment of the qualified biologist. The buffer shall be clearly marked and maintained until the young have fledged and are foraging independently. Prior to construction, demolition, or vegetation management activities, the qualified biologist shall conduct baseline monitoring of each nest to characterize “normal” bird behavior and establish a buffer distance, which allows the birds to exhibit normal behavior. The qualified biologist shall monitor the nesting birds during applicable activities and increase the buffer if birds show signs of unusual or distressed behavior (e.g., defensive flights and vocalizations, standing up from a brooding position, and/or flying away from the nest). If buffer establishment is not possible, the qualified biologist or construction foreman/vegetation management lead shall have the authority to cease all work in the area until the young have fledged, and the nest is no longer active.

A survey report shall be prepared and provided to the city to document the survey results. If monitoring is needed, the report shall also include the results of monitoring. An activity-free buffer of suitable dimensions must be established around any active raptor and migratory bird nests (generally 50 to 100 feet for songbirds and 250 to 500 feet for raptors, depending on the location and the professional judgment of the qualified biologist) for the duration of the construction, demolition, or vegetation management activity or until it has been determined that the chicks have fledged and are independent of their parents.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1c: Av
oid Impacts on Bats
To address any potential impacts on bats, a preconstruction/predemolition or, for ongoing vegetation management activities, a pretree removal survey for roosting bats shall be conducted within the project/tree removal footprint and within a 50-foot buffer of the project footprint/tree removal footprint within 14 days before the start of those activities. If a nonbreeding or nonwintering bat colony is found, the individuals shall be humanely evicted via the partial dismantlement (two-step removal) of the trees or buildings prior to removal under the direction of a qualified biologist (with specialized knowledge of bats) to ensure that no harm or take would occur to any bats as a result of removal activities. If a maternity colony or overwintering colony is detected in the trees or buildings of the site, then a construction- free/activity-free buffer should be established around the tree(s) and/or building(s) and remain in place until it has been determined that the nursery or overwintering colony is no longer active. The size of the buffer shall be highly dependent on bat species, nesting/roosting location, level of existing disturbances, etc., and shall be decided at the discretion and professional judgment of a qualified biologist.

A survey report shall be prepared and provided to the city to document the survey results. If monitoring is needed, the report shall also include the results of monitoring, which shall be the obligation of the applicant/developer with oversight by the City, with all costs, including City oversight costs, paid for by the applicant/developer.

Impact BIO-5: Biological Resources. The project would conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-5, w
hich is hereby adopted and incorporated into
the Project, would reduce impacts related to conflicts with the City’s tree ordinances to a less-than- significant level. The City finds the establishment of tree protection zones for retained heritage trees and specific measures to minimize impacts related to tree removal to be feasible. The City hereby determines that any impacts related to conflicts with any of the City’s tree ordinances remaining after implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-5 would be less than significant. 52 The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and stated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: Activi ties such as grading, installation of utilities, and construction of new homes may damage adjacent tree crowns and roots adjacent to the project area, which could potentially damage heritage trees. Mitigation Measure BIO-5 includes guidelines that would be implemented to mitigate any potential impact on surrounding trees through designation of a tree protection zone and modification of activities to reduce potential impacts.

With implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-5, imp
acts to sensitive species would be less than
significant.

Mitigation Measure BIO-5: P rotect Retained Heritage Trees The project proponent shall establish tree protection zones for retained heritage trees and specific measures to minimize impacts related to tree removal:
 Project Design
 Ensure adequate but not excessive water is supplied to trees; in most cases occasional irrigation will be required. Avoid directing runoff toward trees.  Tree Protection Zones
 Establish a Tree Protection Zone around each tree to be preserved. For trees outside o
f the project site, the Tree Protection Zone shall be the existing fence line on all sides.
 After tree removals are determined among the 182 perimeter trees surveyed, the project’s security fence shall define the Tree Protection Zone. Fences are to remain until all grading and construction is completed. Where demolition must occur close to trees, such as removing curb and pavement, install trunk protection devices such as winding silt sock wattling around trunks or stacking hay bales around tree trunks.
 Any approved grading, construction, demolition, or other work within the Tree Protection Zone should be monitored by the consulting arborist. The arborist shall also determine approval for any root pruning for construction purposes outside the Tree Protection Zone.
 All grading within the dripline of trees shall be done using the smallest equipment possible. The equipment shall operate perpendicular to the tree and operate from outside the Tree Protection Zone. Any modifications must be approved and monitored by the consulting arborist.
 Open Space Management and Project Operations
 A qualified arborist shall provide input on a management plan for the future open space areas that addresses ongoing management of heritage trees consistent with the guidance in this mitigation measure and with the San Bruno Tree Ordinance.

The input shall address actions to protect retained heritage trees during ongoing vegetation management activities.
 Use only herbicides safe for use around trees and labeled for that use, even below pavement.
53 All pruning shall be done by a State of California Licensed Tree Contractor (C61/D49) who is a Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker and shall be conducted in accordance with the Best Management Practices for Pruning (International Society of Arboriculture 2002) and adhere to the most recent editions of the American National Standard for Tree Care Operations (Z133.1) and Pruning (A300).

4.2.3 Cultural Resources
Impact CUL-2: Cultural Resources. The project would have the potential to cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource, or potential disturbance to undiscovered archaeological resources, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-2a an d CUL-2b, which are hereby adopted and incorporated into the Project, would reduce construction impacts related to archaeological resources to a less-than-significant level. The City finds implementation of worker awareness training, and requirements to stop work if archaeological deposits are encountered during ground-disturbing activities to be feasible. The City hereby determines that any construction impacts related to archaeological features remaining after implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-2a and CUL-2b would be less than significant.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: The pre sence of two precontact midden deposits within 0.25 mile of the project site indicates increased potential for encountering as-yet undocumented archaeological deposits during project-related ground disturbance associated with construction.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2a and Mi tigation Measure CUL-2b would reduce this potentially significant impact on archaeological resources during construction by ensuring that project activities would not result in the inadvertent destruction of an archaeological resource because work would stop in the case archaeological deposits are uncovered according to training. Then, a qualified professional would be consulted to implement the appropriate process to protect archaeological resources.

With implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-2a and CUL-2b, impacts to archaeological resources would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measure CUL-2a: Con
duct Cultural Resource Awareness Training Prior to
Project-Related Ground Disturbance and Stop Work if Archaeological Deposits Are Encountered During Ground-Disturbing Activities
Prior to any project- or project variant–related ground disturbance, the applicant and/or City shall ensure that all construction workers receive training overseen by a qualified professional archaeologist who is experienced in teaching nonspecialists to ensure that contractors can recognize archaeological resources in the event that any are discovered during construction.

Construction staff directly overseeing excavation, or operating ground-disturbing vehicles during excavation activities, shall be required to participate in this preconstruction training. 54 Mitigation Measure CUL-2b: Stop Work if Buried Cultural Deposits are Encountered During Construction Activities
In the event that previously unidentified archaeological, historical, or tribal cultural resources are uncovered during site preparation, excavation, or other construction activity, the applicant and/or City shall cease or ensure the ceasing of all such activity within 50 feet of the discovery until the resources have been evaluated by a qualified professional (cultural resources specialist or archaeologist) and specific measures can be implemented to protect these resources in accordance with PRC Sections 21083.2 and 21084.1.

Preservation in place (avoidance) is the preferred method of mitigation for impacts on cultural resources (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(b)(3)(A)) and is required unless the cultural resources specialist or archaeologist determines that another method would provide superior mitigation of impacts on the resource. No additional mitigation is necessary if the resource can be completely avoided, but the resource shall be recorded on Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 forms, which shall be filed with the Northwest Information Center. The qualified cultural resources specialist shall follow the procedures below if the resource cannot be completely avoided:
 Determine if the resource is an historical resource: The qualified cultural resources specialist or archaeologist shall determine if there is a potential for the resource to be a historical resource. Work can resume if there is no potential for the resource to qualify as a historical resource. If there is a potential for the resource to be a historical resource, the qualified cultural resources specialist or archaeologist shall prepare an Evaluation Plan.
 Prepare an Evaluation Plan: The Evaluation Plan shall be prepared specific to the resource and shall contain procedures used to determine if the discovered resource is an historical resource. The Evaluation Plan shall include enough discussion of background and context to provide for evaluation of the resource under the historical resource criteria. It shall include a description of procedures that will be used to gather information for the evaluation, which may include but not be limited to excavation, written documentation, interviews, and photography. For any archaeological resource testing, the Evaluation Plan shall describe testing procedures, such as surface collection, test excavations, analysis methods, and reporting procedure.  Implement Evaluation Plan: The evaluation plan shall be implemented in the field, and the subsequent report shall evaluate the resource based on the criteria contained in the Evaluation Plan, making a conclusion whether the resource is historical. If the resource is not historical, protective barriers can be removed and work can continue in the area.

If the resource is historical, the qualified cultural resources specialist or archaeologist shall prepare a Data Recovery Plan.
 Prepare a Data Recovery Plan: A Data Recovery Plan shall be prepared consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(b)(3)(C) and Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. The Data Recovery Plan will contain a description of how data recovery will mitigate impacts on the resource to less than significant. It shall contain a description of level of effort (e.g., quantity of excavation units), excavation procedures, laboratory methods, types of samples to be collected (e.g., sediment), and the techniques that will be used to obtain information about the features of the site that make it a historical resource. Additionally, the Data Recovery Plan shall include a description of the reporting procedure. Once the Data Recovery Plan is completed, field work can 55 commence. Work can resume in the area once the qualified cultural resources specialist/archaeologist determines that no additional information needs to be recovered to satisfy fieldwork, reporting, and documentation requirements to reduce impacts to less than significant.
 Prepare a Data Recovery Report: A Data Recovery Report shall be prepared following completion of data recovery field work. The Report shall present results of data recovery, including field methods used, location and size of excavations, and analysis of materials recovered. It shall contain conclusions made based on the field work as well as where any recovered artifacts, samples, and documentation will be curated. Curation facilities must meet requirements of 36 Code of Federal Regulations 79. The Data Recovery Report shall be submitted to the Northwest Information Center, with all impacted known resources recorded on DPR 523 forms.

4.2.4 Geology and Soils
Impact GEO-5: Geology and Soils. The project would result in direct or indirect destruction of a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-5, wh ich is hereby adopted and incorporated into the Project, would reduce construction impacts related to paleontological resources to a less-than- significant level. The City finds paleontological resource monitoring, the evaluation of found resources, and preparation of a recovery plan to be feasible. The City hereby determines that any construction impacts related to paleontological resources remaining after implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-5 would be less than significant.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: While t here are no known paleontological resources or unique geologic features on the project site, the site is underlain by the Merced Formation. This geologic unit is known to contain fossils. As a result, ground-disturbing activities such as grading and excavation in areas with native substrate may destroy or damage paleontological resources.

Mitigation Measure GEO-5 would e nsure that workers are informed of the procedures to follow should they encounter subsurface paleontological resources. It also ensures that work is halted until all appropriate procedures are followed in the event that paleontological resources are discovered and reduce ground disturbance impacts.

With implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-5, impacts to paleontological resources would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measure GEO -5: Pro v
ide Cons truction Personnel Training and Follow
Unanticipated Paleontological Resources Discovery Protocol Prior to commencement of ground-disturbing activities, project personnel conducting ground- disturbing activities shall receive training regarding the potential for uncovering subsurface paleontological resources (a fossilized bone or other preserved plant or animal remains), work practices for implementing mitigation measures and complying with applicable laws and regulations, and how to recognize possible buried resources. The training shall include a presentation of procedures to follow upon discovery or suspected discovery of paleontological 56 resources, their treatment (described below) and actions that may be taken if there is violation of applicable laws.

If a previously undiscovered paleontological resource is encountered during construction, ground-disturbing activity within 100 feet of the resource shall be stopped. A qualified paleontological resource specialist shall be retained to assess the significance of the find. An exclusion area shall be established with signage and protective barriers. Entry into the area shall be limited to authorized personnel and a qualified paleontological resource specialist, and the contractor shall immediately notify the City of San Bruno. Preservation in place (avoidance) is preferred mitigation for impacts on unique paleontological resources. No additional mitigation is necessary if the resource can be avoided, but the qualified paleontological resource specialist shall document the resource in accordance with professional standards such as the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Standard of Procedures for the Assessment of Adverse Impacts to Paleontological Resources (SVP 2010). A significant paleontological resource under these standards is defined as follows.

Significant paleontological resources are fossils and fossiliferous deposits, here defined as consisting of identifiable vertebrate fossils, large or small, uncommon invertebrate, plant, and trace fossils, and other data that provide taphonomic, taxonomic, phylogenetic, paleoecologic, stratigraphic, and/or biochronologic information. Paleontological resources are considered to be older than recorded human history and/or older than middle Holocene (i.e., older than about 5,000 radiocarbon years).

Work can resume if there is no potential for the resource to be a unique paleontological resource. If there is a potential for the resource to be a unique paleontological resource and it cannot be avoided, the qualified paleontological resource specialist shall identify mitigation measures, which may include ensuring that fossils are recovered, prepared, identified, catalogued, and analyzed consistent with current professional standards. Methods of recovery, testing, and evaluation shall adhere to current professional standards such as the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Standard of Procedures for the Assessment of Adverse Impacts to Paleontological Resources (SVP 2010). Work can commence after data recovery.

4.2.5 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Impact HAZ-5: Hazards and Hazardous Materials. The project would place facilities within an airport land use plan area or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, resulting in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area.

Finding: Implementation o
f Mitigation Measures HAZ-5a, and HAZ-5b, which are hereby adopted and incorporated into the Project, would reduce impacts related to safety hazards or excessive noise related to a public airport. The City finds obtainment of a determination of no-hazard from the FAA when notification under 14 C.F.R. Part 77 is required for both the residential component and recreational component to be feasible. The City hereby determines that any impacts related to safety hazards or excessive noise related to a public airport remaining after implementation of Mitigation Measures HAZ- 5a and HAZ-5b would be less than significant.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: FAA re gulation 14 C.F.R. Part 77 requires notification of any construction or alteration that would result in a structure being greater than 200 feet (61 meters) above ground level 57 from its base or that would exceed a specified height from an imaginary slope from the nearest runway.

No structures proposed on the site would be greater than 200 feet. The ALUCP for SFO indicates the project site’s imaginary surface in the project area is between 162.3 and 200 feet amsl. Given that the site itself ranges from 380 to 430 feet amsl, the ALUCP indicates the terrain penetrates the airspace surface. As a result, the proposed project may pose airspace safety concerns.

Mitigation measure HAZ-5a would apply to the residential component of the project and would require either a finding of no-hazard from the FAA or documentation that site conditions are such that notification is not required because there would be no safety hazard due to existing shielding. For the recreational component, Mitigation measure HAZ-5b requires obtaining a finding of no-hazard from the FAA due to the height of light standards and the addition of new lighting.

With implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ-5a and HAZ-5b, this impact would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measure HAZ-2a: FA
A Part 77 Determination or Documentation of Exception for Residential Component
The project sponsor for the residential component of the proposed project shall obtain a determination of no-hazard from the FAA when notification under 14 C.F.R. Part 77 is required for any component of the residential portion of the proposed project. The project sponsor shall provide documentation of the FAA finding to the City prior to the use of equipment or installation of structures that require notification under 14 C.F.R. Part 77. Alternatively, the project sponsor can provide documentation that notification is not required under 14 C.F.R. Part

77.9(e) should it be found that new structures “will be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and substantial nature or by natural terrain or topographic features of equal or greater height, and will be located in the congested area of a city, town, or settlement where the shielded structure will not adversely affect safety in air navigation.” Such documentation shall be provided to the City prior to the start of construction of the residential component of the proposed project.

Mitigation Measure HAZ-2b: FAA P art 77 Determination for Recreation Component The City shall obtain a determination of no-hazard from the FAA when notification under 14 C.F.R. Part 77 is required for any component of the recreation portion of the proposed project, such as the light standards. The City shall obtain documentation of the FAA finding prior to the use of equipment or installation of structures that require notification under 14 C.F.R. 77.

4.2.6 Noise
Impact NOI-1: Noise. The project would result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or other applicable standards of other agencies.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measures NOI- 1a and NOI-1b, which are hereby adopted and incorporated into the Project, would reduce construction impacts related to ambient noise levels to a less-than-significant level. The City finds implementation of noise reduction measures, including the installation of temporary noise barriers (as needed), to be feasible. The City hereby determines that any construction impacts related to ambient noise remaining after Mitigation Measures NOI-1a and NOI-1b would be less than significant.
58 The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and stated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: Construc tion could result in short-term increases in average ambient noise levels exceeding 10 dBA at nearby residences during worst-case construction noise-generating activities.

Implementation of mitigation measures NOI-1a and NOI-1b would reduce noise as experienced at nearby sensitive uses during construction by requiring noise reduction measures such as equipping equipment with mufflers, using electrically powered equipment where feasible, and staging equipment far from existing noise-sensitive uses. The mitigation measures are anticipated to reduce the increase in average noise levels at the nearest residences during project construction to less than 10 dBA, which is below the significance criteria.

With implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1a and NOI-1b, this impact would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measure NOI-1a: Requ ire Construction Noise Reduction Measures The following measures shall be incorporated into the project onsite construction activities in order to ensure compliance with the noise standards pertaining to construction noise contained in the City of San Bruno Municipal Code. In cases where a measure is considered infeasible (e.g., construction is needed outside allowable hours), the Planning Director shall review and approve that determination prior to that activity occurring to verify and track compliance with this measure.
 Noise-generating construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., as feasible.
 Combined construction noise for activities that take place between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. shall be limited to 85 dBA Leq at a distance of 100 feet from construction activities, as feasible.
 Should noise-generating construction activities be required between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., combined construction noise shall be limited to 60 dBA Leq at a distance of 100 feet from construction activities, as feasible.
 Temporary construction noise levels shall not result in an increase of 10 dBA or greater.  Measures to achieve these performance standards include:
 All noise-producing project equipment and vehicles using internal combustion engines shall be equipped with manufacturers-recommended mufflers and be maintained in good working condition.
 All mobile or fixed noise-producing equipment used on the project site that are regulated for noise output by a federal, state, or local agency shall comply with such regulations while in the course of project activity.
 Electrically powered equipment shall be used instead of pneumatic or internal- combustion-powered equipment, where feasible.
 Material stockpiles and mobile equipment staging, parking, and maintenance areas shall be located as far as practicable from existing noise-sensitive uses. 59  Nearby residences that border the project site, and the church located on the east side of Courtland Drive, shall be notified of construction schedules so that arrangements can be made, if desired, to limit their exposure to short-term increases in ambient noise levels.
 The name and telephone number of an onsite construction liaison who is available whenever construction is occurring shall be provided through onsite signage and on the notices mailed/delivered to surrounding land uses. If early morning or nighttime construction occurs, and construction noise during this time is found to be intrusive to the community (i.e., if complaints are received), the construction liaison shall take reasonable efforts in a reasonable amount of time to investigate the source of the noise (including measuring noise levels) and require that sensible measures be implemented to correct the problem.

Mitigation Measure NOI-1b: Install Te mporary Noise Barriers In the event that investigation of construction noise-related complaints by the construction liaison required by mitigation measure NOI-1a indicates that project construction activities are resulting in increases in ambient noise levels at nearby residential uses of 10 dBA or more, temporary noise barriers shall be installed as close as possible to the noise source or the receptor and positioned within the direct line-of-sight path between the noise source and nearby sensitive receptor(s), if feasible. In cases where this measure is required but considered infeasible (e.g., construction is needed outside allowable hours and noise barriers cannot be installed), the Planning Director shall review and approve that determination prior to that activity occurring to verify and track compliance with this measure. The barrier should be constructed of material that has a surface weight of at least 1 pound per square foot and has an acoustical rating of at least 25 STC (Sound Transmission Class). This can include a temporary barrier constructed with plywood support on a wood frame, sound curtains supported on a frame, or other comparable material.

4.2.7 Tribal Cultural Resources
Impacts TCR-1 and TCR-2: Tribal Cultural Resources. The project would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is (a) listed or eligible for listing in the CRHR or in a local register of historical resources, as defined in PRC Section 5020.1(k), or (b) determined by the lead agency to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of PRC Section 5024.1.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-2a,
and CUL-2b, which are hereby adopted and
incorporated into the Project, would reduce construction impacts related to Tribal Cultural Resources to a less-than-significant level. The City finds mitigation measures that call for development and implementation of a monitoring plan, worker awareness training, and requirements to stop work if Tribal Cultural Resources deposits are encountered during ground-disturbing activities to be feasible.

The City hereby determines that any construction impacts related to tribal cultural resources remaining after implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-2a, and CUL-2b would be less than significant.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect. 60 Facts in Support of Finding: The presence of two precontact midden deposits, one of which contained Native American human remains, within 0.25 mile of the project site indicates increased potential for encountering as-yet undocumented tribal cultural resources deposits during project-related ground disturbance.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2a and Mi tigation Measure CUL-2b would reduce this potentially significant impact on archaeological resources during construction by ensuring that project activities would not result in the inadvertent destruction of a Tribal cultural resource because work would stop in the case archaeological deposits are uncovered according to training. Then, a qualified professional would be consulted to implement the appropriate process to protect Tribal Cultural Resources.

With implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-2a and CUL-2b, impacts to sensitive species would be less than significant.

2. Mitigation Measure CUL-2b: St op Work if Buried Cultural Deposits are Encountered During Construction Activities
Implement Mitigation Measure CUL-2b, the full text of which is provided above for Impact CUL-

2. 4.2.8 Utilities
Impact UT-1: Utilities and Service Systems. The project would require or result in relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, with the potential to cause significant environmental effects.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measures UT-1a
and UT-1b, which are hereby adopted and
incorporated into the Project, would reduce impacts related to wastewater facilities to a less-than- significant level. The City finds sanitary sewer rehabilitation in affected areas and upgrading water system regulator station 13 to be feasible. The City hereby determines that any impacts related to utility relocation, construction, or expansion of stormwater facilities remaining after implementation of Mitigation Measures UT-1a and UT-1b would be less than significant.

The City hereby makes finding (a)(1) (described above), as required by Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 and s
tated in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, with respect to the above identified effect.

Facts in Support of Finding: Alth ough there is sufficient capacity for sanitary sewer from the site, the City has identified condition issues with the sanitary sewer line in Courtland Drive and Whitman Way that would convey wastewater from the project site. Roots have intruded into pipes, and the pipes are aging. Currently, this sanitary sewer line conveys whatever minimal wastewater is conveyed from restrooms at the recreation field and project site as well as the church. It also collects wastewater from approximately 50 residences along Courtland Drive north of the project site, Glenbrook Lane, and 61 Rosewood Drive. The addition of wastewater from 155 residences on site would substantially increase the volume of wastewater conveyed through these pipes by quadrupling the number of homes discharging wastewater to this sewer line. Therefore, there is a potential for additional flows to exacerbate these degraded conditions.

Results from the Water System Hydraulic Evaluation of Crestmoor Residential Development determined that the hydraulic model indicates that the proposed pipelines and existing water system infrastructure cannot meet the minimum fire flow requirement of 500 gallons per minute (gpm) while maintaining a residual pressure of 20 pounds per square inch (psi) due to pressure deficiencies at existing high elevation services along Madison Avenue. The evaluation identified a regulating station improvement needed at regulator station 13, which is located near the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and Madison Avenue. A pressure regulating station contains pressure values that regulate water from higher-pressure zones into lower-pressure zones.

Mitigation Measures UT-1a and UT-1b would require sanitary sewer rehabilitation in affected areas on Courtland Drive and Whitman Way as well as upgrading water system regulator station 13.

With implementation of Mitigation Measures UT-1a and UT-1b, impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels.

Mitigation Measure UT-1a: Rehab
ilitate Sanitary Sewer within Courtland Drive and
Whitman Way.

In coordination with City of San Bruno Public Works, the proponent of the residential component of the proposed project shall rehabilitate approximately 929 linear feet of sewer main on Courtland Drive (from MH 1874 to MH 1222) and approximately 740 linear feet of sewer main on Whitman Way (from MH 1222 to MH 1331).

Mitigation Measure UT-1b: Upgr ade Water System Regulator Station 13.

In coordination with City of San Bruno Public Works, the proponent of the residential component of the proposed project shall upgrade regulator station RS-13 to meet or exceed the minimum fire flow requirements for the project of 500 gpm. The upgrade will consist of abandoning the existing RS-13, rerouting piping to install a new regulating station in the vicinity of the existing RS-13, with the proper-sized valves, and piping to meet or exceed the minimum fire flow requirement. 5 Draft Findings Regarding Alternatives
As noted above, these Findings address whether the various alternatives substantially lessen or avoid any of the significant impacts associated with the proposed project and then consider the feasibility of each alternative. Under CEQA, as noted earlier, “[f]easible means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, legal, social, and technological factors.” (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15364.) The concept of feasibility permits agency decisionmakers to consider the extent to which an alternative can meet some or all of a project’s objectives. In addition, the definition of feasibility encompasses “desirability” to the extent that an agency’s determination of infeasibility represents a reasonable balancing of competing economic, environmental, social and technological factors supported by substantial evidence. As such, these Findings consider the extent to which the alternatives can meet the project objectives, as described in the EIR and in Section 2.2, above.
62 CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6 requires an EIR to evaluate a reasonable range of alternatives to the project that would feasibly attain most of the project’s basic objectives, but that would avoid or substantially lessen any identified significant environmental impacts of the project, as well as the No Project Alternative. Alternatives determined to be infeasible, to not avoid or substantially reduce one or more significant impacts of the Project, or to not meet all or most of the Project’s objectives were dismissed from further analysis.

5.1 No-Project Alternative
Description of Alternative: No additional construction would occur at the project site with implementation of the No Project Alternative. Under the No Project Alternative, the existing conditions at the project site would not change. The existing playing fields, parking lots, a storage lot, school facilities, school district maintenance facilities, and unimproved sloping wooded open space would remain. San Mateo Union High School District (SMUHSD) currently has a lease agreement of the Crestmoor fields with AYSO and Lowen, with a term beginning on July 1, 2023, and expiring on June 30, 2024, and use of the fields beyond that date would require separate action of the Board of Trustees.

Therefore, should the City deny the project, it is reasonable to assume SMUHSD would continue to try to sell th
e property. However, actual development of the property is not included in the No Project Alternative because the characteristics, timing, and other details of such a development would be speculative. As a result, given past use by AYSO and Lowen, the No Project Alternative presumes that SMUHSD would continue to lease the playing fields on a short-term basis to private soccer clubs for youth soccer games and practices.

In addition to private league activities, informal use of the fields would continue to occur throughout the week, such as for walking, running, and other similar workouts. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that the currently vacant high school campus would continue to remain vacant, rather than be leased as an educational facility (alternative high school and/or preschool).

Comparison to Proposed Project: The No Pr
oject Alternative would likely result in none of the impacts identified in the EIR, however, it would not provide any of the benefits sought by the City as expressed through the proposed project objectives, including redeveloping an underutilized site with a residential neighborhood, providing housing at a range of income levels, providing wildland fire protection, and providing recreation facilities and other amenities.

Findings: The Coun
cil finds the No Project Alternative infeasible and less desirable than the proposed project and rejects this Alternative for the following “[s]pecific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations”: the proposed project benefits such as including redeveloping an underutilized site with a residential neighborhood, providing housing at a range of income levels, providing wildland fire protection, providing recreation facilities and other amenities, and other benefits of the proposed project “make infeasible the project alternatives identified in the [F]inal EIR.” (CEQA Guidelines, § 15091(a)(3).) The No Project Alternative also would not achieve any of the objectives for the proposed project which are identified above in Section 2.2. For these reasons, the Council rejects the No Project Alternatives as infeasible within the meaning of CEQA.
63 5.2 Alternative 1: Increased Density with ADUs and
Open Space and Recreation
Description of Alternative: This alternative would have a total of 287 units. There would be 242 homes for the effective density of 8 dwelling units per acre for compatibility with the density allowed under the General Plan designation across the 30.26 acres, and the additional 45 units would be accessory dwelling units (ADUs) distributed throughout the project site. It is presumed these would be constructed at the same time as the houses. The 287 units constructed under the Alternative 1 would be located within two neighborhoods, as proposed under the project. Although the density is compatible with that allowed under the General Plan, to accommodate the increased density and ADUs, the proposed residential development would be denser, with smaller setbacks, smaller lots, and smaller dwelling unit areas. Homes would likely be three stories instead of two and arranged in a clustered development pattern.

Comparison to Proposed Project: This al
ternative would have similar impacts to the proposed project except for certain resource areas. There would be more total air pollutant emissions because there would be more construction associated with the higher number of units, which could increase concentrations of pollutants during construction. Increased density would result in incrementally more vehicle trips and emissions during operation. Therefore, this alternative would result in slightly greater air quality impacts compared to the proposed project. Due to a higher number of homes developed under this alternative, Alternative 1 would result in a higher energy demand compared to the proposed project. Alternative 1 would increase use of utilities like water, electricity, and telecommunications. It would also generate more solid waste and wastewater.

Construction activities would be the same as the proposed project but would last longer, resulting in longer
noise and vibration impacts of the same noise and vibration levels as construction of the proposed project and project variant. Noise during operations could be slightly greater due to the increased density and presence of more residents onsite.

The higher density of Alternative 1 would reduce VMT by about 1 percent compared to the proposed project. VMT reduction is a key component to reduction of GHG emissions in California. The per capita VMT is 14.7 daily miles per resident. A 1 percent reduction in that VMT would result in per capita VMT of 14.6 daily miles per resident. While this impact would not be reduced to less than significant, 14.6 is also the existing regional VMT. Therefore, the reduction in VMT under Alternative 1 is considered a substantial reduction in the significant VMT-related impacts for the purposes of the EIR. This would also result in a substantial reduction in the significant VMT-related GHG impacts, even though impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.

Findings: The C
ouncil acknowledges that this alternative was initially determined to be potentially feasible as described in the Draft EIR. However, the Council now finds that this alternative is ultimately infeasible for specific economic, social, environmental, technological, legal or other considerations.

Specifically, the alternative raises concerns related to urban planning and the goals of the City related to development, density, and VMT.

While this alternative may subst antially reduce VMT, the EIR’s determination of a substantial reduction did not then weigh the value of that reduction compared to its cost. In evaluating whether the substantial reduction as described in the EIR is commensurate with the number of additional units required to reduce this impact, the City Council finds that the reduction in VMT is not large enough to justify the increase in units when compared to the proposed project. The reduction in VMT would be by 64 1 percent daily miles per resident, but would require the addition of 132 units to the proposed project’s 155 (i.e., an increase of 85 percent). While the decrease in VMT may be substantial given the conditions of the site, the City finds in weighing the additional units needed that the substantial number of additional units needed for this reduction in VMT is not proportional. That is, the cost substantially outweighs the benefits.

Additionally, while increased density is generally desirable to reduce VMT, the location of higher density within the City is an important consideration. As explained in the Draft EIR, within the nine-county Bay Area, San Mateo County in general is a good place to build housing from a VMT perspective. Jobs are abundant and thus, commute lengths for people who live in the county are generally shorter than elsewhere in the region. However, the project site is located in a primarily single-use neighborhood with few convenient walking or biking options to access shopping, work, education, or other opportunities.

The project site is also not located near any high-quality transit lines, nor does the General Plan designation allow for a mix of land uses or amenities that could reduce the number of vehicle trips or trip lengths for the existing or future residents of the neighborhood, so that it is not ideal for using transit or walking within the larger City. These environmental characteristics result in project trips being made almost exclusively by car. Even though trip lengths may be shorter than the regional average, the share of trips made by car (instead of walking, biking, or transit) prevents compliance with state goals to reduce VMT below current levels as applied for the site itself. Putting additional density on the project site, though it may lower VMT by 1 percent, would also place more residents in an area that is not ideal for transit and walking within the larger City, making the site not ideal for substantially increased density. Therefore, the Council finds this alternative to be infeasible.

5.3 Alternative 2: Reduced Density with Open Space
and Recreation
Description of Alternative: Alternative 2 would provide 112 units, thereby resulting in less of a contribution to the RHNA goals than the proposed project. Alternative 2 would offer a variety of home sizes at a range of sales prices and meet the market demand in the City, consistent with the project sponsor’s objectives. Similar to the proposed project and project variant, this alternative would provide wildland fire protection, maintain existing wooded areas, and be compatible with the existing biological setting, while managing preserved open spaces. This alternative would, therefore, meet all of the project objectives.

Comparison to the Proposed Project: This a
lternative would have similar impacts to the proposed
project except for certain resource areas. There would be fewer total emissions of criteria pollutants because there would be less construction associated with the lower number of units, which could decrease concentrations of pollutants during construction depending on construction scheduling. A decrease in the number of residents could result in fewer vehicle trips and emissions during operation.

As a result, this alternative would result in fewer air quality impacts compared to the proposed project.

Due to reduced housing development under this alternative, Alternative 2 would result in slightly lower energy demand compared to the proposed project. The lower density could increase per-capita VMT and, therefore, also increase GHG emissions.

Construction activities would be the same as the proposed project and project variant but would take place over
a shorter construction window or require fewer daily construction hours, resulting in less noise and vibration impacts than the proposed project or project variant. Noise during operations could 65 be slightly reduced due to the decreased density and presence of less residents onsite. Given that the proposed project’s noise impacts during construction would require a suite of measures to reduce noise, reduction of construction noise impacts would be a substantial reduction from than the proposed project.

Findings: The Cou
ncil acknowledges that this alternative was initially determined to be potentially feasible as described in the Draft EIR. However, the Council now finds that this alternative is ultimately infeasible for specific economic, social, environmental, technological, legal or other considerations.

Specifically, this alternative raises concerns related to VMT and underdevelopment of the site that do not address long-term impacts of the proposed project, and in fact worsen them.

Because of the lower d ensity, this alternative is expected to worsen the only significant unavoidable impacts of the proposed project (VMT and GHG emissions). Additionally, the only significant impacts it would reduce are those related to construction (noise, air quality) that are temporary in nature. Further, Alternative 2 would result in 43 fewer housing units (a reduction of about 28 percent) than the proposed project, when development of housing is of critical importance in the City and the region. Therefore, the alternative results in temporary benefits in terms of reductions of significant impacts at a substantial cost in reduction in housing units. Therefore, the Council finds this alternative to be infeasible. 6 Draft Statement of Overriding Considerations

6.1 Introduction
CEQA requires decision-makers to balance the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve a project.

If the specific economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered acceptable (CEQA Section 21081(b); State CEQA Guidelines 15093). In this case, the lead agency must state in writing the specific reasons to support its action. This “statement of overriding considerations” shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record, shall be included in the record of the project approval, and should be mentioned in the notice of determination. Pursuant to Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, the following Statement of Overriding Considerations has been prepared for the Project.

6.2 Significant or Potentially Significant Effects that Cannot be Mitigated to a Level of Less-Than-
Significant
The EIR identified the following significant impacts of the proposed project which cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant:

 The project would generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment (Impact GHG-1). 66  The project would conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases (Impact GHG-2).  The project would result in a cumulatively considerable impact with regard to GHG emissions during operations.
 The project would conflict or be inconsistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) (Impact TRA-2).
 The project would make a cumulatively considerable contribution to a conflict with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b).

6.3 Findings Regarding the Proposed Project and Draft
Statement of Overriding Considerations
The City hereby finds that the following social, legal, environmental and economic benefits of the Project outweigh the significant unavoidable impacts for the following reasons. These benefits, viewed both individually and collectively, outweigh the significant unavoidable adverse effects of implementing the Project.

6.3.1 General Plan Implementation
The Project achieves the intent of General Plan implementing policy OSR-8. As included in the San Bruno General Plan Open Space element, OSR-8 states “During reuse of the former Crestmoor High School site (designated for single-family residential development), preserve the existing playing fields for recreational use per direction of the General Plan Update Committee.” While the proposed project also modifies this General Plan implementing policy to include specifics about dedication of certain land to the City, it nonetheless still fulfills the spirit of implementing policy OSR-8 and comports with implementing policy OSR-8 as currently written because it would preserve the playing fields while reusing the Crestmoor High School site. In this way, the Project would achieve General Plan implementing policy OSR-8.

San Bruno General Plan Implementing Policy LUD-1 aims to “Promote development of single-family housing on former school sites owned by public school districts. Retain existing recreation facilities for resident use, whenever possible.” The project site has also been predominantly vacant since Crestmoor High School’s closure in 1980. Other uses (school, judicial, and daycare) have utilized portions of the campus in more recent history; however, this use was short-term and not the entire facility so that the former Crestmoor High School site was effectively underused. Therefore, this site presents an opportunity for the City to achieve General Plan Implementing Policy LUD-1 at the former Crestmoor High School site.

Finally, San Bruno General Plan Implementing Policy LUD-5 aims to “Allow small-lot single-family housing in new and existing neighborhoods to serve as efficient and compact infill development.” While the project site is currently a former high school campus, the surrounding area is an existing neighborhood. Therefore, the Project as small lot single family housing would help fulfill Implementing Policy LUD-5.

Therefore, as a vehicle to implement the General Plan on the Project site, the Project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable environmental impacts.
67 6.3.2 Neighborhood Safety – Wildfire and Hazard Trees The Project includes long-needed (as identified by the City and the neighbors) vegetation management in the open space areas surrounding the developed areas. The residential component of the project would be designed to the 2022 California Building Standards and Fire Codes as amended by the City of San Bruno. A vegetation management plan would be implemented within the wooded slope area. Vegetation management under both the proposed project and the variant would reduce wildfire risk and other related risks (e.g., tree hazards) on an ongoing basis.

Therefore, as a way to improve neighborhood safety, the Project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable environmental impacts.

6.3.3 Housing Development
As indicated in the City of San Bruno Housing Element 2023-2031 and Technical Background Report,6 San Bruno has a very low vacancy rate (3.7%) compared to the County (5.1%) and Bay Area (5.5%) that is an indicator of a high demand for housing units in the community. Overcrowding in San Bruno is similar to that of the County and region, with 25-35% of San Bruno residents in households of 4 people or less experiencing some overcrowding. Similar to the rest of the region, San Bruno has aging housing stock, with most units built between 1940 and 1979. These factors indicate a need for new housing units, and the City of San Bruno Housing Element 2023-2031 also identifies a Regional Housing Needs Allocation for the City of 3,165 units, distributed among income categories.

To that end, an objective of this project is to: “Provide housing at a range of income levels (including low- and moderate-income households) that would assist the City in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) targets.” The proposed project would bring into the City 155 units. Additionally, in accordance with the City’s Affordable Housing Program (AHP), the project includes in those 155 units, 24 on-site below market rate (BMR) homes (8 at low-income level and 16 at moderate-income level) spread throughout the two neighborhoods, with 12 BMR homes in each neighborhood. Additionally, the project site has also been predominantly vacant since Crestmoor High School’s closure in 1980. Other uses (school, judicial, and daycare) have utilized portions of the campus in more recent history; however, this use was short-term and not the entire facility. Therefore, this site presents a significant opportunity for housing development in the City. Therefore, as way to increase the housing available in the City at a variety of income levels, the proposed project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable environmental impacts.

6.3.4 Enhanced Recreation Facilities
The Project achieves the intent of General Plan implementing policy OSR-8. As included in the San Bruno General Plan Open Space element, OSR-8 states “During reuse of the former Crestmoor High School site (designated for single-family residential development), preserve the existing playing fields for recreational use per direction of the General Plan Update Committee.” The proposed project also modifies this General Plan implementing policy to include specifics about dedication of certain land to the City, and also fulfills the spirit of implementing policy OSR-8 and comports with implementing policy 6 City of San Bruno 2023 - 2031 Housing Element. Adopted January 24, 2023. Revised March 2024. https://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5117/Draft-Housing-Element-382024---Copy?bidId=. City of San Bruno 2023 – 2031 Housing Element Technical Background Report. https://sanbruno.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5118/San-Bruno_6thCycleTBR_HCD_PR_March-2024?bidId=. 68 OSR-8 as currently written because it would to preserve the playing fields while reusing the Crestmoor High School site. The recreational component gives the City the chance to enhance recreational facilities, which is a rare opportunity given the community is built out. The facilities are currently well used by the community, including two youth soccer organizations as well as residents from nearby neighborhoods.

The proposed project will retain the playing fields on the Crestmoor High School site and allow for the City to upgrade these facilities to better serve the community and its recreational needs.

Therefore, as a vehicle to implement the General Plan and enhance recreational facilities available to the public, the proposed project’s benefits outweigh the significant and unavoidable environmental impacts.

6.3.5 The Benefits of the Proposed Project Outweigh the Potentially Significant Environmental Impacts
As set forth above, the proposed project provides significant benefits to the City and the community as a whole. Among those benefits are (1) implementation of the General Plan; (2) increased neighborhood safety; (3) increased housing in the City; and (4) retention of recreation facilities.

On the other hand, the proposed project has unmitigated adverse environmental impacts related to greenhouse gases and transportation. Implementation of the proposed project will result in the following significant or potentially significant impacts:
 The project would generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment (Impact GHG-1).  The project would conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases (Impact GHG-2).  The project would result in a cumulatively considerable impact with regard to GHG emissions during operations.
 The project would conflict or be inconsistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) (Impact TRA-2).
 The project would make a cumulatively considerable contribution to a conflict with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b).

While these impacts are considered significant and unavoidable, the City is incorporating several measures in the proposed project aimed to mitigate the effects of the impacts, as described within these Findings. The City has weighed the economic, legal, social, technological, and other benefits of the proposed project against the significant unavoidable impacts of the proposed project identified in the Final EIR.

The City hereby determines that the benefits of the proposed project outweigh the risks and adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project, and further determines that the proposed project’s significant unavoidable impacts are acceptable.

Accordingly, the City adopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations, recognizing that significant unavoidable impacts will result from implementation of the proposed project. Having (i) adopted all feasible mitigation measures, as discussed in the Draft EIR, Final EIR, and Findings; (ii) rejected infeasible alternatives to the proposed project, as discussed in the Draft and Final EIR, the Findings, and this Statement of Overriding Considerations; and (iii) recognized the significant unavoidable impacts of the proposed project, the City hereby finds that each of the separate benefits of the proposed project, as 69 stated herein, is determined to be unto itself an overriding consideration, independent of other benefits, that warrants approval of the proposed project and outweighs and overrides its significant unavoidable impacts, and thereby justifies the approval of the proposed project.

ONITORING REPORTING PLAN (MMRP)

FOR THE
300 PIEDMONT AVENUE PROJECT
71 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is formulated based upon the findings of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project (Project). The MMRP, found in the following table, lists mitigation measures recommended in the EIR prepared for the Project and identifies mitigation monitoring and implementation requirements.

This MMRP has been prepared to comply with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6), which requires Lead Agencies making CEQA findings related to approval of a project for which an EIR was prepared/certified to adopt an MMRP when mitigation measures are required to avoid significant impacts. The MMRP is intended to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures identified in the EIR during implementation of the Project.

The MMRP is organized in a matrix format. The first column identifies to which component of the project (i.e., residential or recreation) the mitigation measure applies. The second column contains the mitigation measures. The third column, entitled “Timeframe for Implementation,” refers to when monitoring will occur to ensure that the mitigating action is completed. The fourth column, entitled “Responsibility for Implementation,” refers to the party responsible for implementing the mitigation measure. As explained in greater detail in the EIR, SummerHill Homes (project sponsor) is proposing to develop an approximately 40.2-acre site into a new 155-lot single-family, detached- home community with associated open space and infrastructure located at 300 Piedmont Avenue (project site) in the City. The City also proposes to construct new recreational amenities on a portion of the project site. The project would also demolish the former Crestmoor High School and other existing structures on the project site. Therefore, the EIR contains mitigation measures that may only apply to activities undertaken by the project sponsor, or to activities undertaken by both the project sponsor and the City. This column therefore designates which entity is responsible for implementing the mitigation measure based on to which aspect of the project the mitigation applies, as explained in the EIR. The fifth column, entitled, “Oversight of Implementation,” refers to the party responsible for oversight or ensuring that the mitigation measure is implemented. 72 Project Component Mitigation Measures Timeframe for

The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.  All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.  All roadways, 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.  All excavation, grading, and/or demolition activities shall be suspended when average wind speeds exceed 20 mph.  All trucks and equipment, including their tires, shall be washed off prior to leaving the site.  Unpaved roads providing access to sites located 100 feet or farther from a paved road shall be treated with a 6- to 12-inch layer of compacted wood chips, mulch, or gravel.  Publicly visible signs shall be posted with the telephone number and name of the 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 General Air Pollution Complaints number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

For the residential component of the project, the project sponsor shall submit evidence of compliance to the City prior to grading permit issuance. For the recreational component, the City shall document compliance by its contractor.

Recreation, residential Mitigation Measure BIO-1a: Conduct Preconstruction Survey for Dusky-footed Woodrat and Implement Appropriate Measures Prior to project demolition/construction and prior to the vegetation maintenance activities that could potentially have an impact on woodrat nests, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey for San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat nests within and adjacent to the project footprint no more than 30 days prior to the onset of construction activities; demolition activities; and vegetation management activities that may impact woodrat nets, as defined in the vegetation management plan with input from a qualified biologist. This survey timing allows for the scheduling of and relocation of woodrat nests, if necessary. The survey shall encompass all construction zones and surrounding lands within 50 feet of these zones.

All identified nests shall be avoided, where possible. Woodrat nests that occur within 50 feet of the project work area shall have a construction-free physical buffer established around them demarcated by flagging, exclusion fencing, or other suitable materials, as determined by a qualified biologist. If avoidance of a nest is not possible, the nest(s) shall be manually relocated when young are not present using the following methods.
 To safely dismantle a nest, the dismantling process shall occur in October through December under the direction of a qualified biologist. If this timing is not feasible or compatible with the timing of construction, the biologist could dismantle the nest at a different time, but if baby woodrats (i.e., pups) are exposed during the process, the nest shall be rebuilt over the pups, and the nest shall be buffered for approximately 3 weeks before dismantling can recommence. To start dismantling, a landscape crew or other qualified crew shall be present onsite with the qualified biologist to clear vegetation for the qualified biologist to access the nest(s). All persons involved in the removal of materials (biologist and landscape crew) shall wear a respirator, long sleeves, and gloves during the disassembling and removal process to reduce the potential for exposure to hantavirus, rotavirus, and other diseases that woodrat nests may contain. Two to three temporary shelters such as an upside-down half-wine barrel or wooden box with rodent-sized opening shall be placed near the nest to be disassembled to provide any evicted woodrats a safe cover (refugia). Deconstruction of the nest shall be conducted by the biologist on the opposite side of the nest as temporary refugia so that woodrats have a direct path to the refugia.  Disassembling work shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in afternoon/evening hours to the extent practicable to limit stress to any evicted woodrats. Deconstructed nest material shall be placed on a tarp to either dispose of it or to use it to rebuild a nest with the same material in a different location. Materials on the tarp shall include structural, nesting chamber, and stored food. Relocation of nests shall be built as close as possible with a center chamber at the bottom with nesting material and food stores with sticks forming a chamber above this. If forming a nest chamber is difficult given the material of the original nest, additional sticks from the surrounding areas can be used or a wooden box with a hole cut for the entrance can be used based on the judgment of the qualified biologist.
 Survey results and any disassembling and relocation work (if needed) shall be documented in a report provided to the city.

Recreation, residential Mitigation Measure BIO-1b: Avoid Impacts on Nesting Birds To address impacts on nesting raptors and migratory birds, project-related activities (i.e., demolition, construction, vegetation management) that occur during the breeding season (February 1 through August 31) should be constrained in the vicinity of any active nests. If tree removal, use of powered equipment (e.g., chainsaws, line trimmers, mowers), or ground-disturbance activities are scheduled to commence during the breeding season, nesting bird surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to identify possible nesting activity. A qualified biologist shall conduct preconstruction/pre-activity surveys for nests on any tree, other vegetation, or structure within 500 feet of the project/activity footprint no more than 14 days before demolition, construction, or vegetation management activities begin. If no active nests are found during focused surveys, no further action under this measure will be required. No tree shall be removed or trimmed if an active bird nest is present. If necessary, modifications to the project design to avoid removal of occupied habitat while still achieving project objectives shall be evaluated and implemented to the extent feasible.

If avoidance of the nesting season is not feasible or conflicts with project objectives, demolition, construction, and vegetation management with powered equipment shall be prohibited within a buffer (generally 50 to 100 feet for songbirds and 250 to 500 feet for raptors, depending on the location and the professional judgment of the qualified biologist) of the nest to avoid disturbance until the nest is no longer active. Buffers may be reduced according to the discretion and professional judgment of the qualified biologist. The buffer shall be clearly marked and maintained until the young have fledged and are foraging independently. Prior to construction, demolition, or vegetation management activities, the qualified biologist shall conduct baseline monitoring of each nest to characterize “normal” bird behavior and establish a buffer distance, which allows the birds to exhibit normal behavior. The qualified biologist shall monitor the nesting birds during applicable activities and increase the buffer if birds show signs of unusual or distressed behavior (e.g., defensive flights and vocalizations, standing up from a brooding position, and/or flying away Recreation (City): Prior to,

from the nest). If buffer establishment is not possible, the qualified biologist or construction foreman/vegetation management lead shall have the authority to cease all work in the area until the young have fledged, and the nest is no longer active.

Recreation, residential Mitigation Measure BIO-1c: Avoid Impacts on Bats To address any potential impacts on bats, a preconstruction/predemolition or, for ongoing vegetation management activities, a pretree removal survey for roosting bats shall be conducted within the project/tree removal footprint and within a 50-foot buffer of the project footprint/tree removal footprint within 14 days before the start of those activities. If a nonbreeding or nonwintering bat colony is found, the individuals shall be humanely evicted via the partial dismantlement (two-step removal) of the trees or buildings prior to removal under the direction of a qualified biologist (with specialized knowledge of bats) to ensure that no harm or take would occur to any bats as a result of removal activities. If a maternity colony or overwintering colony is detected in the trees or buildings of the site, then a construction-free/activity-free buffer should be established around the tree(s) and/or building(s) and remain in place until it has been determined that the nursery or overwintering colony is no longer active. The size of the buffer shall be highly dependent on bat species, nesting/roosting location, level of existing disturbances, etc., and shall be decided at the discretion and professional judgment of a qualified biologist.

Residential MM-BIO-5: Protect Retained Heritage Trees
The project proponent shall establish tree protection zones for retained heritage trees and specific measures to minimize impacts related to tree removal:
 Project Design
 Ensure adequate but not excessive water is supplied to trees; in most cases occasional irrigation will be required. Avoid directing runoff toward trees.  Tree Protection Zones
 Establish a Tree Protection Zone around each tree to be preserved. For trees outside of the project site, the Tree Protection Zone shall be the existing fence line on all sides.  After tree removals are determined among the 182 perimeter trees surveyed, the project’s security fence shall define the Tree Protection Zone. Fences are to remain until all grading and construction is completed. Where demolition must occur close to trees, such as removing curb and pavement, install trunk protection devices such as winding silt sock wattling around trunks or stacking hay bales around tree trunks.
 Any approved grading, construction, demolition, or other work within the Tree Protection Zone should be monitored by the consulting arborist. The arborist shall also determine approval for any root pruning for construction purposes outside the Tree Protection Zone.  All grading within the dripline of trees shall be done using the smallest equipment possible. The equipment shall operate perpendicular to the tree and operate from outside the Tree Protection Zone. Any modifications must be approved and monitored by the consulting arborist.  Open Space Management and Project Operations
 A qualified arborist shall provide input on a management plan for the future open space areas that addresses ongoing management of heritage trees consistent with the guidance in this mitigation measure and with the San Bruno Tree Ordinance. The input shall address actions to protect retained heritage trees during ongoing vegetation management activities.  Use only herbicides safe for use around trees and labeled for that use, even below pavement.

All pruning shall be done by a State of California Licensed Tree Contractor (C61/D49) who is a Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker and shall be conducted in accordance with the Best Management Practices for Pruning (International Society of Arboriculture 2002) and adhere to the most recent editions of the American National Standard for Tree Care Operations (Z133.1) and Pruning (A300).

Work can resume if there is no potential for the resource to qualify as a historical resource. If there is a potential for the resource to be a historical resource, the qualified cultural resources specialist or archaeologist shall prepare an Evaluation Plan.  Prepare an Evaluation Plan: The Evaluation Plan shall be prepared specific to the resource and shall contain procedures used to determine if the discovered resource is an historical resource.

The Evaluation Plan shall include enough discussion of background and context to provide for evaluation of the resource under the historical resource criteria. It shall include a description of procedures that will be used to gather information for the evaluation, which may include but not be limited to excavation, written documentation, interviews, and photography. For any archaeological resource testing, the Evaluation Plan shall describe testing procedures, such as surface collection, test excavations, analysis methods, and reporting procedure.  Implement Evaluation Plan: The evaluation plan shall be implemented in the field, and the subsequent report shall evaluate the resource based on the criteria contained in the Evaluation Plan, making a conclusion whether the resource is historical. If the resource is not historical, protective barriers can be removed and work can continue in the area. If the resource is historical, the qualified cultural resources specialist or archaeologist shall prepare a Data Recovery Plan.  Prepare a Data Recovery Plan: A Data Recovery Plan shall be prepared consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(b)(3)(C) and Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. The Data Recovery Plan will contain a description of how data recovery will mitigate impacts on the resource to less than significant. It shall contain a description of level of effort (e.g., quantity of excavation units), excavation procedures, laboratory methods, types of samples to be collected (e.g., sediment), and the techniques that will be used to obtain information about the features of the site that make it a historical resource. Additionally, the Data Recovery Plan shall include a description of the reporting procedure. Once the Data Recovery Plan is completed, field work can commence. Work can resume in the area once the qualified cultural resources specialist/archaeologist determines that no additional information needs to be recovered to satisfy fieldwork, reporting, and documentation requirements to reduce impacts to less than significant.

Prepare a Data Recovery Report: A Data Recovery Report shall be prepared following completion of data recovery field work. The Report shall present results of data recovery, including field methods used, location and size of excavations, and analysis of materials recovered. It shall contain conclusions made based on the field work as well as where any recovered artifacts, samples, and documentation will be curated. Curation facilities must meet requirements of 36 Code of Federal Regulations 79. The Data Recovery Report shall be submitted to the Northwest Information Center, with all impacted known resources recorded on DPR 523 forms.

Recreation, residential MM-NOI-1a: Require Construction Noise Reduction Measures The following measures shall be incorporated into the project onsite construction activities in order to ensure compliance with the noise standards pertaining to construction noise contained in the City of San Bruno Municipal Code. In cases where a measure is considered infeasible (e.g., construction is needed outside allowable hours), the Planning Director shall review and approve that determination prior to that activity occurring to verify and track compliance with this measure.  Noise-generating construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., as feasible.  Combined construction noise for activities that take place between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. shall be limited to 85 dBA Leq at a distance of 100 feet from construction activities, as feasible.  Should noise-generating construction activities be required between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., combined construction noise shall be limited to 60 dBA Leq at a distance of 100 feet from construction activities, as feasible.
 Temporary construction noise levels shall not result in an increase of 10 dBA or greater.  Measures to achieve these performance standards include:
 All noise-producing project equipment and vehicles using internal-combustion engines shall be equipped with manufacturers-recommended mufflers and be maintained in good working condition.
 All mobile or fixed noise-producing equipment used on the project site that are regulated for noise output by a federal, state, or local agency shall comply with such regulations while in the course of project activity.
 Electrically powered equipment shall be used instead of pneumatic or internal-combustion-powered equipment, where feasible.  Material stockpiles and mobile equipment staging, parking, and maintenance areas shall be located as far as practicable from existing noise-sensitive uses.  Nearby residences that border the project site, and the church located on the east side of Courtland Drive, shall be notified of construction schedules so that arrangements can be made, if desired, to limit their exposure to short-term increases in ambient noise levels.  The name and telephone number of an onsite construction liaison who is available whenever construction is occurring shall be provided through onsite signage and on the notices mailed/delivered to surrounding land uses. If early morning or nighttime construction occurs, and construction noise during this time is found to be intrusive to the community (i.e., if complaints are received), the construction liaison shall take reasonable efforts in a reasonable amount of time to investigate the source of the noise (including measuring noise levels) and require that sensible measures be implemented to correct the problem.

Recreation, residential Mitigation Measure NOI-1b: Install Temporary Noise Barriers In the event that investigation of construction noise-related complaints by the construction liaison required by mitigation measure NOI-1a indicates that project construction activities are resulting in increases in ambient noise levels at nearby residential uses of 10 dBA or more, temporary noise barriers shall be installed as close as possible to the noise source or the receptor and positioned within the direct line-of-sight path between the noise source and nearby sensitive receptor(s), if feasible. In cases where this measure is required but considered infeasible (e.g., construction is needed outside allowable hours and noise barriers cannot be installed), the Planning Director shall review and approve that determination prior to that activity occurring to verify and track compliance with this measure. The barrier should be constructed of material that has a surface weight of at least 1 pound per square foot and has an acoustical rating of at least 25 STC (Sound Transmission Class). This can include a temporary barrier constructed with plywood support on a wood frame, sound curtains supported on a frame, or other comparable material.

The marketing program is expected to achieve up to a 4 percent trip (and VMT) reduction below ITE trip generation rates. Additional measures shall be included in the TDM program that, at the time the TDM program is submitted, are feasible, and appropriate for the residential component of the project, considering the proposed use and its location and size, in an effort to reduce VMT from the residential component of the project as indicated by the performance standard of this mitigation measure (12.4 miles per capita).

The applicant or HOA, as an alternative means of achieving all or a portion of the VMT reductions, has the option to participate in any adopted applicable VMT mitigation fee, bank or exchange program that would allow development projects to offset project VMT impacts by contributing money into a program to fund offsite VMT reducing projects or programs (such as, but not limited to, dedicated bike lanes, community shuttles, transit service improvements, roadway gap closures, or pedestrian network expansion). To be eligible, the mitigation fee, bank, or exchange program would need to meet the following requirements.
 Real/verifiable: Identifies actual projects that would be implemented under the program within a reasonable period of time of the contribution as well as the expected attributable VMT reduction from each project.
 Additional: Projects implemented under the program would not be implemented if not for the financial contribution to the program.  Measurable/Enforceable: Contains VMT reduction metrics that provide for conversion of the financial contribution to the program to an equivalent VMT reduction that can be applied to the project.

The applicant shall implement any presale marketing component of the TDM program commencing upon initial marketing activities. The HOA shall implement the balance of the TDM program commencing upon full occupancy of the residential component of the project.

The Community Development Director may approve modifications to the residential TDM plan proposed by the applicant or the HOA that are consistent with the original findings and conditions approved by the review authority. A request to modify the TDM plan may only be granted if it is demonstrated to be at least as effective as the original TDM plan in furthering the transportation goals of the San Bruno General Plan by promoting and increasing transit use, ridesharing, walking, and bicycling to minimize the number of residents traveling in single-occupant vehicles and improving the mobility and general efficiency of circulation and transportation systems by reducing single-occupant vehicle trips and total VMT within the community and the region.

Annual reporting requirements include information on the TDM marketing program, site occupancy, resident mode share, work-from-home rates, and use of alternative modes. For the first year after full occupancy, the onsite monitoring report must also include a 24-hour screenline vehicle count across all the residential neighborhood street gateways. This count shall be compared to the trip generation estimates prepared as part of the project EIR and will serve as a guidepost for compliance with the 4 percent onsite reduction target. The HOA may need to supplement the marketing program with other measures if initial monitoring results show limited usage of alternative modes and higher than expected trip counts.

Introduction

300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report 1-2 April 2024

1.2 Project Description
SummerHill Homes (project sponsor) is proposing to develop an approximately 40.2-acre site into a new 155-lot single-family, detached-home community with associated open space and infrastructure located at 300 Piedmont Avenue (project site) in the City. The City also proposes to construct new recreational amenities on a portion of the project site. The project would also demolish the former Crestmoor High School and other existing structures on the project site.

In addition, pursuant to a settlement agreement between the City and the San Mateo Union High School District, the owner of the project site, the EIR analyzes a variant to the project that reflects:
(1) dedication of a 6.47-acre portion of the project site’s wooded slope area to the City as publicly accessible open space, which would thereafter be maintained by the City; (2) retention of approximately 7.5 acres of sloped area as private open space; and (3) dedication of an approximately 4.6 acre space to the City for athletic field and recreational supportive uses. Overall, the variant would result in 12.24 acres of publicly accessible open space as compared to the 19.2 acres of publicly accessible open space and would shift maintenance obligations for 6.47 acres of sloped wooded area from the property owner to the City.

The project site currently contains the former and currently unoccupied Crestmoor High School, constructed in 1962, as well as playing fields, parking lots, a storage lot, school district maintenance facilities, and unimproved sloping wooded open space. The San Mateo Union High School District currently leases the playing fields on a short-term basis to private soccer clubs for youth soccer games and practices. The playing fields are improved with natural grass.

The residential component of the project would include 155 homes. The project would result in an effective density of 3.86 dwelling units per gross acre on the 40.2-acre project site. The proposed building heights for the homes would be up to 28 feet (two stories). The residential component of the project would be divided into two neighborhoods with varying lot sizes. One neighborhood would include 63 four-bedroom homes ranging from approximately 1,900 to 2,300 square feet of living space with typical lot sizes of 3,000 square feet. The second neighborhood would include 92 four-bedroom homes ranging from approximately 2,200 square feet to 2,700 square feet of living space with typical lots sizes of 2,850 and 3,375 square feet. In accordance with the City’s Affordable Housing Program (AHP), the project includes 24 on-site below market rate (BMR) homes (8 at low- income level and 16 at moderate-income level) spread throughout the two neighborhoods, with 12 BMR homes in each neighborhood.

The proposed project would include dedication of approximately 6.91 acres of public open space to the City, which the City would own and maintain, as shown Draft EIR Chapter 2, Figure 2-2. The City would also construct improvements within about 5.3 acres of the 6.91 acres of the dedicated open space area in the northern area of the project site, including a sports field with permanent nighttime lighting fixtures. The other 1.61 acres along Courtland Drive would be improved by the City and would be available for recreational supportive uses. Parking would be provided along Courtland Drive, within the recreational parcel, and along the northern extent of the residential ring road.

The field would be striped to allow reconfiguration of fields to accommodate various sizes of fields.

The Crestmoor Fields Master Plan was recently approved by the San Bruno City Council. The field design could use synthetic turf or natural grass and would allow for a maximum of six soccer fields in use at any one time. Another option would include striping for up to two little league baseball 86 City of San Bruno

Introduction

300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report 1-3 April 2024

fields and five soccer fields, allowing for a maximum of two little league games or five soccer games to occur at one time.

The project variant would include dedication of approximately 12.24 acres of land to the City for public open space (approximately 6.47 sloped acres and approximately 4.58 rough graded acres for the playing fields, and 1.19 acres for recreational supportive uses), while the private open space in the sloped wooded areas would be about 7.51 acres. The playing fields and other recreational uses would be the same as under the proposed project, except that the graded area in the dedicated open space for recreation use would be about 1.14 acres smaller than under the proposed project. A vegetation management plan would still be implemented in the portion of the wooded slope area dedicated to the City.

Vehicular circulation would be provided to the project site from Piedmont Avenue at the southern entrance and Courtland Drive at its northern entrance. Interstate 280 (I-280) runs directly east of Courtland Drive, with the San Bruno Chinese Church located between Courtland Drive and I-280 near the northern entrance to the project site. Courtland Drive, a private driveway with a public access easement that would become a public right-of-way of about 2.9 acres, would be reconstructed and realigned to meet the City’s design standards as part of the project. Circulation in the proposed project would be provided via a ring road around the perimeter of the proposed residential lots, with east–west drives throughout. The project variant would be the same as the proposed project, except that under the project variant, Courtland Drive would be a public street parcel with no recreation-supportive improvements. Courtland Drive right-of-way would instead be

2.1 acres.

1.3 Major Conclusions of the Environmental Analysis
The Draft EIR identified the following significant impacts related to the project.  Impact AQ-1: Air Quality (cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant). Project construction activities, such as demolition, rough grading, and material hauling, would generate fugitive dust emissions (i.e., particles less than 2.5 microns in diameter [PM2.5] and particles less than 10 microns in diameter [PM10]). As noted in the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) 2022 State CEQA Guidelines, projects implementing the BAAQMD-recommended basic best management practices (BMPs) for construction-related fugitive dust emissions are considered to have a less-than-significant criteria air pollutant impact related to construction-generated fugitive dust emissions (BAAQMD 2023b). As such, before the inclusion of feasible BAAQMD-identified BMPs, the proposed project’s construction- generated fugitive dust emissions would be considered significant, and mitigation would be required. Mitigation measure AQ-1 requires the implementation of BAAQMD’s basic BMPs. Thus, implementation of mitigation measure AQ-1 would reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level, and both the project and variant’s impact with respect to construction-generated fugitive dust emissions would be less than significant with mitigation.  Impact BIO-1: Biological Resources (candidate, sensitive, or special-status species).

Construction or demolition activity, and operation of the proposed project and project variant may harm or result in mortality to San Francisco dusky-footed woodrats, or in nest abandonment, and is considered a significant impact under CEQA. Most nests are present in the wooded area and could potentially be removed or disturbed by vegetation management work 87 City of San Bruno

Introduction

300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report 1-4 April 2024

during construction. These impacts would be potentially significant. Mitigation measure BIO- 1a would be implemented to reduce the potential for impacts on San Francisco dusky-footed woodrats. Tree removal and project and project variant construction could potentially remove habitat or disturb nests of nesting or migratory birds. Construction impacts would be potentially significant, because of the potential to remove active nests. Impacts would be less than significant after implementing mitigation measure BIO-1b. Tree removal or ground disturbance activities during construction and demolition could disturb active nests and result in mortality of roosting bats. Implementation of mitigation measure BIO-1c would reduce impacts under both the project and project variant to less than significant with mitigation.  Impact BIO-5: Biological Resources (local policies or ordinances). Activities such as grading, installation of utilities, and construction of new homes may damage adjacent tree crowns and roots adjacent to the project area, which could potentially damage heritage trees.

This impact would be potentially significant. Mitigation measure BIO-5 includes guidelines that would be implemented to mitigate any potential impact on surrounding trees caused by the project or project variant. Through designation of a tree protection zone and modification of activities to reduce potential impacts, these impacts would be less than significant with mitigation.
 Impact CUL-2: Cultural Resources (archaeological resources). The presence of two precontact midden deposits within 0.25 mile of the project site indicates increased potential for encountering as-yet undocumented archaeological deposits during construction-related ground disturbance, which would be potentially significant. Implementation of mitigation measure CUL-2a and mitigation measure CUL-2b would reduce this potentially significant impact on archaeological resources during construction of both the project and project variant to less- than-significant with mitigation by ensuring that project activities would not result in the inadvertent destruction of an archaeological resource.
 Impact GEO-5: Geology, Soils, and Paleontological Resources (unique paleontological resource). While there are no known paleontological resources or unique geologic features on the project site, the site is underlain by the Merced Formation. This geologic unit is known to contain fossils. As a result, ground-disturbing activities such as grading and excavation in areas with native substrate may destroy or damage paleontological resources, which would be a potentially significant impact. Implementation of mitigation measure GEO-5 would ensure that workers are informed of the procedures to follow should they encounter subsurface paleontological resources. It also ensures that work is halted until all appropriate procedures are followed in the event that paleontological resources are discovered. Mitigation measure GEO-5 would reduce impacts from ground-disturbing activities under the project and the project variant. Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation.  Impact GHG-1: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (greenhouse gas emissions). Even with implementation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program through mitigation measure TRA-2, the project and project variant would result in a cumulatively considerable impact with respect to operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and there are no feasible mitigation measures to reduce this impact. The project and project variant would exceed the threshold of 12.4 daily miles per resident, or 15 percent below the regional average vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for the region of 14.6 daily miles per resident. At 14.7 miles per resident, the project would result in a rate of VMT that exceeds the regional average by 0.1 mile per capita and exceeds the threshold by 2.3 miles per capita. There are no feasible mitigation measures to reduce project-generated VMT beyond mitigation measure TRA-2. Thus, the project and project 88 City of San Bruno

Introduction

300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report 1-5 April 2024

variant would not result in a VMT reduction relative to the regional average; rather, it would result in a VMT increase. This impact would be significant and unavoidable.  Impact GHG-2: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (applicable plan, policy, or regulation). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2022 Scoping Plan identifies the state’s path to keep California on track to meet its State Bill (SB) 32 GHG reduction target of at least 40 percent below 1990 emissions by 2030, as well as to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 and a reduction in anthropogenic emissions to 85 percent below 1990 levels. The project would not be consistent with CARB’s 2022 Scoping Plan, as it would not incorporate all of the Scoping Plan– identified project attributes. Specifically, the project and project variant would not provide residential parking supply at a ratio of less than one parking space per dwelling unit. It would not be feasible to reduce the residential parking supply at the project site, as described in Impact TRA-2. Moreover, the project and project variant would not meet the Scoping Plan–identified affordable housing standard. Thus, the project would be inconsistent with two of the CARB- identified project attributes related to VMT reduction. There are no feasible mitigation measures to reduce project-generated VMT beyond mitigation measure TRA-2. Therefore, the project and project variant would conflict with state, regional, or local plans to achieve the GHG reduction goals mandated by SB 32 for the year 2030 and Assembly Bill (AB) 1279 for the year 2030 and 2045. This impact would be significant and unavoidable.  Impact HAZ-5: Hazards and Hazardous Materials (Airport Land Use Plan). The Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for San Francisco International Airport (SFO) indicates the project site’s imaginary surface in the project area is between 162.3 and 200 feet above mean sea level (amsl). Given that the site itself ranges from 380 to 430 feet amsl, the ALUCP indicates the terrain penetrates the airspace surface. As a result, the proposed project and variant may pose airspace safety concerns and a potentially significant impact. Mitigation measure HAZ-5a would apply to the residential component of the project and would require either a finding of no-hazard from the Federal Aviation Administration or documentation that site conditions are such that notification is not required because there would be no safety hazard due to existing shielding. For the recreational component, mitigation measure HAZ-5b requires obtaining a finding of no-hazard from the Federal Aviation Administration due to the height of light standards and the addition of new lighting. These components would be the same under the proposed project and the project variant. As a result, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation.
 Impact NOI-1: Noise (ambient noise). Even though project construction activities are not predicted to exceed the San Bruno Municipal Code standards applicable to project construction, because construction could result in short-term increases in average ambient noise levels exceeding 10 A-weighted decibels (dBA) at nearby residences during worst-case construction noise-generating activities, this impact is considered potentially significant for both the proposed project and project variant. Mitigation measures NOI-1a and NOI-1b require implementation of several measures to reduce noise as experienced at nearby sensitive uses during construction. The mitigation measures are anticipated to reduce the increase in average noise levels at the nearest residences during construction of the project and variant to less than 10 dBA, which is below the significance criteria. As a result, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation.
 Impact TRA-2: Transportation (State CEQA Guidelines). The project would result in a significant impact related to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) if it would lead to VMT per resident higher than 15 percent below the existing regional average of 14.6 89 City of San Bruno

Introduction

300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report 1-6 April 2024

VMT per resident. Because the City of San Bruno has not adopted separate VMT threshold standards, the EIR uses the OPR-recommended VMT per resident threshold of 15 percent reduction compared to the current regional (nine-county Bay Area) average. Using the C/CAG VMT Estimation Tool, the estimated VMT per resident with the project is estimated to be 14.7 daily miles per resident. This is well above the significance threshold and much closer to the current regional average; therefore, the project would result in a potentially significant impact.

Mitigation measure TRA-2 would require the neighborhood homeowner’s association (HOA) to implement a TDM program in conjunction with the development application. Because a VMT mitigation fee, bank, or exchange program does not currently exist, at this time additional mitigation through financial contribution is not feasible. As a result, the VMT impacts associated with the proposed project and the project variant would be significant and unavoidable.  Impacts TCR-1 and TCR-2: Tribal Cultural Resources (Tribal Cultural Resources). The presence of two precontact midden deposits, one of which contained Native American human remains, within 0.25 mile of the project site indicates increased potential for encountering as- yet undocumented tribal cultural resources deposits during project-related ground disturbance.

This impact would be potentially significant for both the proposed project and variant. Under the proposed project and variant, implementation of mitigation measures CULT-2a and CULT-2b (as described in Draft EIR Section 3.4) would reduce the project and variant impacts on tribal cultural resources to less-than-significant with mitigation.  Impact UT-1: Utilities (relocation of construction of a new or expanded facility). The addition of wastewater from 155 residences on site would substantially increase the volume of wastewater conveyed through sewage pipes by quadrupling the number of homes discharging wastewater into sewer lines. Therefore, there is a potential for additional flows to both exacerbate existing degraded conditions (aging pipes, root intrusion) as well as not to meet fire flow requirements. This impact would be potentially significant. Future water use at the fields would be similar to or less than current use. If turf is synthetic, then water use would decrease.

If turf is natural grass, then water use would likely stay the same with irrigation, restroom use, and other incidental water consumption. However, without the improvement related to the residential development, impacts related to water pressure under both the project and variant would be potentially significant. Mitigation measures UT-1a and UT-1b would be implemented to reduce the impacts to less than significant with mitigation.  Cumulative Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impacts. Even with implementation of a TDM program through mitigation measure TRA-2, the proposed project and project variant would result in a cumulatively considerable impact with respect to GHG emissions during operations, and there are no feasible mitigation measures to reduce this impact.  Cumulative Transportation Impacts. The proposed project and variant VMT per resident would be 14.7 VMT per resident, which exceeds the threshold of 15 percent below the existing regional average of 14.6 VMT per resident. With implementation of the TDM program under Mitigation Measure TRA-2, alternative modes would be encouraged, the use of single-occupant vehicles would be discouraged, and the impact of additional vehicles generated by the project would be lessened. However, as explained in Impact TRA-2, impacts would be significant and unavoidable. As a result, the proposed project’s and project variant’s contribution would be cumulatively considerable.

3 00 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report 1-7 April 2024
1 .4 Project Alternatives
The EIR discusses and analyzes the No Project Alternative, Increased Density with ADUs and Open Space and Recreation Alternative, and Reduced Density with Open Space and Recreation Alternative.

Furthermore, the EIR analyzes the impacts of the alternatives and compares the significant impacts of the alternatives to the significant environmental impacts of the project as proposed. These alternatives are described in more detail in Draft EIR Chapter 5, Alternatives.  Increased Density with ADUs and Open Space and Recreation Alternative. The Increased Density with ADUs and Open Space and Recreation alternative would increase housing density to reduce per-capita VMT. This alternative would construct 287 units located in two neighborhoods.
 Reduced Density with Open Space and Recreation Alternative. The Reduced Density with ADUs and Open Space and Recreation alternative would result in 112 units at the project site and include BMR homes spread throughout the two neighborhoods.  No Project Alternative. The No Project Alternative compares the impacts of the proposed project to what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the proposed project is not approved and development continues to occur in accordance with existing plans and consistent with available infrastructure and community services (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(2)).

Chapter 3
Responses to Comments
This chapter includes responses for each of the numbered comments identified in the comment letters in Chapter 2, Comments Received on the Draft EIR. The responses also identify if revisions to the draft environmental impact report (Draft EIR) are required. These changes and staff-initiated changes are included in Chapter 4, Text Revisions to the Draft EIR.

3.1 State Agencies

3.1.1 S1, Caltrans
S1-1
The comment does not contain questions or concerns regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR analysis and instead is an introduction to the comment letter. Therefore, no substantive response is required.

S1-2
The comment’s acknowledgement that the Crestmoor, 300 Piedmont Avenue Project (project)’s analysis of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and travel demand is consistent with the Office of Planning and Research’s technical advisory. The acknowledgement that the proposed project would have significant and unavoidable impact with respect to VMT is consistent with the EIR’s analysis; therefore, the comment requires no substantive response.

Regarding recommended mitigation measures to consider along with the proposed Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program in the EIR, the strategies in the proposed TDM program were selected from and quantified using the CAPCOA Handbook mentioned in the comment.

All of the strategies listed as suggestions in the comment were considered but ruled out as mitigation for one or more reasons.
 Increased density. The EIR considers an alternative with increased density as explained in response to comment L1-3.
 Increased location efficiency, increased mixed-use development. These strategies involve a change in the nature of the project and would also conflict with the project objectives to redevelop the site with a residential neighborhood and provide recreation fields. Additionally, a mixed-use development would be inconsistent with the General Plan designation and zoning.

While the proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment and zoning map amendment, these amendments are to modify provisions regarding open space. The residential designation of the site would remain and would not accommodate mixed use. As a result, this is not considered feasible mitigation.
 Improved bicycle network and transit access (increased transit accessibility and bus rapid transit). The nearest transit stop is 0.5 mile away and there are no existing bicycle 125

facilities within 0.5 mile. This project alone as a singular project site cannot provide a useful bike or transit network. Shuttles to transit are also impractical for single-family homes in this location given the availability of low-cost parking at regional rail stations and because the ease of driving would likely minimize the demand for shuttles that could be perceived as less convenient due to frequency. Moving the project itself closer to the bicycle network and transit access would conflict with a key project objective of redeveloping the underutilized site of the former Crestmoor High School. As a result, improved bicycle network and transit access through moving the proposed project is not considered feasible mitigation.  Pedestrian network improvements. Pedestrian network improvements are already part of the proposed project. The project would provide sidewalks and crosswalks throughout the two residential neighborhoods and improve the condition of the sidewalks and crosswalks adjacent to the recreation area. As a result, improvement of the pedestrian network does not need to be included as mitigation.

S1-3
The comment does not contain questions or concerns regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR analysis and instead explains the City of San Bruno’s responsibility for project mitigation. Therefore, no substantive response is required.

S1-4
The comment states that a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) transportation permit is required for the movement of oversized or excessive load vehicles on state roadways.

The comment does not contain questions or concerns regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR analysis and instead explains oversized and excessive load permit requirements and the potential need to develop a Transportation Management Plan with Caltrans. The requirements are noted, and the developer of each project component (i.e., residential and recreational) would be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and approvals.

S1-5
The comment expresses appreciation for the opportunity to comment and involvement in the environmental review process. The comment does not contain questions or concerns regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR analysis. No substantive response is required. 126

The comment repeats information found in the project description to demonstrate understanding of the project. The comment does not contain questions or concerns regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR analysis. No substantive response is required.

L1-2
Refer to response to comment L1-5.

L1-3
The commenter’s statement regarding the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) contour is consistent with the conclusion in Impact NOI-3 in the Draft EIR. On pages 3.11-27 through 3.11-38, the Draft EIR states, “Because the project site is outside of all airport contours according to the ALUCP (as shown in Appendix F, Noise Technical Report, Figure 6), the project would not conflict with the land use restrictions in the ALUCP.”
The commenter’s statements regarding critical aeronautical surfaces are also generally consistent with the analysis in Impact HAZ-5 on Draft EIR pages 3.8-11 through 3.8-12, save for minor differences in elevation that have no bearing on the impact conclusion. That discussion in the Draft EIR concludes, “Therefore, the proposed project and variant would not conflict with the Airspace Compatibility Policies of the SFO ALUCP.”
The commenter’s statement regarding Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airspace review is consistent with the analysis in Impact HAZ-5 on Draft EIR pages 3.8-12 through 3.8-13, including mitigation measures HAZ-5a and HAZ-5b, which address FAA airspace review for the residential and recreation components, respectively, of the project.

The commenter’s statements regarding Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) Policy AP-4 and the field lighting are consistent with the analysis on Draft EIR page 3.8-12.

Because the information provided by the commenter is consistent with the information in the Draft EIR, no revisions or additional responses are necessary.

L1-4
Alternative 4 contemplates a project with residences constructed at the maximum density across the project site. As explained on Draft EIR page 4-20, this would include approximately 321 units on the site, one unit more than suggested by the commenter. As explained on pages 4-20 through 4-21 of the Draft EIR, this alternative does not meet a critical objective of the proposed project (i.e., providing recreational fields and other public facilities and amenities to provide recreational opportunities) and would not avoid or substantially reduce a significant impact of the proposed project. Therefore, the alternative does not meet CEQA requirements for alternatives and was, therefore, rejected from further consideration.

Note that Alternative 1 contemplates increased density compared to the proposed project and was carried forward for full evaluation in the Draft EIR. It includes a total of 287 units, as described on Draft EIR page 4-4, constructed within the same neighborhoods as the proposed project. As explained in the Draft EIR, this alternative meets all requirements under CEQA related to alternatives, including meeting most of the basic project objectives, avoiding or substantially reducing a significant impact of the proposed project, and being potentially feasible. The City of San Bruno does have the potential for development of high-density residential projects within its jurisdictional boundaries; however, the proposed project location does not include qualities common to maximum density residential projects. Higher density residential projects are typically found within urban development areas that include easy pedestrian access to commercial opportunities and services, such as alternative modes of transportation (e.g., BART). Therefore, while the Draft EIR does not consider a maximum density alternative as suggested by the commenter, it does bring forward an increased density alternative catering to the limitations of the proposed project site location. The opinions presented by the commenter supporting increased density are included in the record for consideration by decision-makers.

L1-5
The following revisions have been made in response to this comment on pages 3.8-5 through 3.8-6 of the Draft EIR.

The proposed project site is inside Airport Influence Areas A and B as defined by the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport (SFO ALUCP). Each airport/land use compatibility plan (ALUCP) is required to contain policies and criteria to address three key issues: (a) aircraft noise impacts, (b) safety compatibility criteria, and (c) height of structures/airspace protection (Ricondo & Associates 2012).

Note that the project area’s location in Airport Influence Area (AIA) A is already stated elsewhere in the Draft EIR. For example, Draft EIR page 3.10-2 states:

The project site falls within Airport Influence Areas (AIA) A and B of San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Area A includes the entirety of San Mateo County, all of which is overflown by aircraft flying to or from SFO at least once per week at altitudes of 10,000 feet or fewer above mean sea level.

Area B lies within Area A and contains areas exposed to aircraft noise above the 65 decibel (dB) Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) contour or lying below critical airspace (City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County 2012).

Therefore, the addition of the information about the project area being within AIA A is not new information. It also does not change any of the impact analysis in the Draft EIR.

The following revision has also been made to page 7-13 of the Draft EIR to correct the author of a reference, consistent with the revision to the author on pages 3.8-5 through 3.8-6 described above.

Ricondo & Associates. 2012. Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport. Available: Consolidated_CCAG_ALUCP_November-20121.pdf.

The following revisions were made to page 3.8-7 of the Draft EIR in response to this comment.

Airports
The closest airport to the project is SFO, which is located adjacent to San Bruno, just east of Highway 101. SFO is approximately 1.6 miles east of the project site and has a total of four runways (City of San Bruno 2009). The project is inside the Airport Influence Area (AIA) A as defined by the SFO ALUCP. The policy that applies in AIA A is (C/CAG):

IP-1, Airport Influence Area A – Real Estate Disclosure Area: Within Area A, the real estate disclosure requirements of state law apply. Section 11010 of the Business and Professions Code requires people offering subdivided property for sale or lease to disclose the presence of all existing and planned airports within two miles of the property. The law requires that, if the property is within an “airport influence area” designated by the Airport Land Use Commission, the following statement must be included in the notice of intention to offer the property for sale:

NOTICE OF AIRPORT IN VICINITY
This property is presently located in the vicinity of an airport, within what is known as an airport influence area. For that reason, the property may be subject to some of the annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to airport operations (for example, noise, vibration, or odors). Individual sensitivities to those annoyances can vary from person to person. You may wish to consider what airport annoyances, if any, are associated with the property before you complete your purchase and determine whether they are acceptable to you.

The project is inside the Airport Influence Area (AIA) B as defined by the SFO ALUCP (Sinha 2023).

The policy that applies in AIA B is (C/CAG 2012).

IP-2, Airport Influence Area B – Policy/Project Referral Area: Within Area B, the Airport Land Use Commission (the C/CAG Board) shall exercise its statutory duties to review proposed land use policy actions, including new general plans, specific plans, zoning ordinances, plan amendments and rezonings, and land development proposals. The real estate disclosure requirements in Area A also apply in Area B. For the purposes of this policy, parcels along the edge of the Area B Boundary that are split by the boundary shall be considered as fully being within Area B.

Note that the description of policy IP-2 already includes the real estate disclosure requirement added for AIA A; therefore, this addition does not change any of the analysis or conclusions in the Draft EIR.

The following revisions have been made to pages 3.8-11 through 3.8-12 of the Draft EIR in response to this comment.

Flight hazards include tall objects as well as visual and electronic forms of interference. The project site is inside AIA B as defined by the SFO ALUCP. The critical aeronautical surfaces at the proposed project location are at an elevation of approximately 860 feet amsl (C/CAG 2012). The school site elevation is about 430 feet amsl, and the maximum height of the single-family residences would be 28 feet. Therefore, the elevation height of residences would be below the elevation of the critical aeronautical surfaces. The field elevation is about 380 feet amsl, and the tallest light standard would be 80 feet, meaning that the elevation of the lighting structures would also be below the elevation of the critical aeronautical surfaces identified in the ALUCP. A crane may also be used to install the light standards but would be a temporary use. Therefore, the proposed project and variant would not conflict with the Airspace Compatibility Policies of the SFO ALUCP.

These revisions clarify the analysis and do not change any of the conclusions in the Draft EIR. The City declines to implement the changes the commenter requested to amsl because they are editorial in nature.

3.2.2 L2, SMUHSD
L2-1
The information provided by San Mateo Union High School District (SMUHSD) regarding the leases for the fields at the former Crestmoor High School site is consistent with the information about the No Project Alternative in Draft EIR Section 4.5.1, Description of Alternative. The text on page 4-14 of the draft EIR also explains why the City has determined that the No Project Alternative includes continued leasing of playing fields on a short-term basis under CEQA based on past use by AYSO and Lowen, despite the lack of a renewal provision in the lease. The following text can be found on Draft EIR page 4-14 in Section 4.5.1, Description of Alternative.

San Mateo Union High School District (SMUHSD) currently has a lease agreement of the Crestmoor fields with AYSO and Lowen from July 1, 2023, that expires on June 30, 2024, and use of the fields beyond that date would require separate action of the Board of Trustees (Hawkins pers. comm.).

However, AYSO and Lowen’s use of the recreation fields predated July 1, 2023, and the City is unaware of any intent by the SMUHSD to decline to approve another lease. Additionally, SMUHSD declared Crestmoor High School surplus property in March 2019, and prior to entering into a purchase agreement with the applicant had entered into a contract to sell the property with another developer (SMUHSD 2022). Therefore, should the City deny the project, it is reasonable to assume SMUHSD would continue to try to sell the property. However, actual development of the property is not included in the No Action Alternative because the characteristics, timing, and other details of such a development would be speculative. As a result, given past use by AYSO and Lowen, the No Project Alternative presumes that SMUHSD would continue to lease the playing fields on a short-term basis to private soccer clubs for youth soccer games and practices.

The commenter has not raised a specific issue with the definition of the No Action Alternative, the recreation analysis, or suggested revisions to the Draft EIR. Therefore, no additional response is required. However, the information provided by the commenter is included in the record for consideration by decision-makers.

Construction activity would result in an increase in vehicle and truck trips and vehicular parking demand associated with construction workers. These types of construction-related transportation impacts would be temporary, generally short term, and conducted in accordance with City requirements.

San Bruno Avenue is a designated truck route as provided in Section 7.24.010 of the San Bruno Municipal Code. Additionally, Section 7.24.020 of the code confirms that heavy vehicle restrictions do not apply to "commercial vehicles... or vehicles for hire or advertised for hire coming from an unrestricted street having ingress and egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted street; for the purpose of delivering materials 130

to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling or construction of any building or structure upon the restricted street for which a building permit has previously been obtained." A truck routing plan would be required for approval of the construction permit and would be followed during the construction period. As required by Section 7.24.020, the truck routes will be direct routes to and from San Bruno Avenue.

Mitigation is required only for significant impacts under CEQA per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(a)(1). No significant impacts have been identified related to potential trucking routes, such as noise or traffic safety. However, the commenter’s suggestion about restricting heavy vehicles to roadways with dividing double yellow lines is noted and included in the record for consideration by decision-makers.

3.3.2 I2, Jeffery D.

I2-1
See response to comment I1-1 regarding the truck-routing concerns. Truck-routing restrictions would not apply to construction workers traveling in passenger vehicles.

Note that traffic volume, insofar as it relates to traffic congestion, is no longer a metric for determining significant transportation impacts under CEQA, as explained on Draft EIR page 3.15-3.

However, the intersection of Madison Avenue and Piedmont Avenue was one of the study intersections analyzed in the transportation analysis. The analysis studied trip assignment through this intersection and conducted an all-way stop control warrant, which found that the current configuration without control is appropriate for the anticipated “Existing + Project” volume of traffic and pedestrian activity. See Attachment 1 for the traffic control warrants.

The proposed project is not expected to increase the prevalence or severity of speeding near the project site. Concerns about existing speeding activity should be brought to the San Bruno Traffic, Safety and Parking Committee.

Existing noise levels in the project vicinity, including those “below the site,” were measured on April 15, 2023, at the locations presented in Figure 3.11-1 on page 3.11-13 of the Draft EIR. Measured existing noise levels are shown in Table 3.11-8 on page 3.11-14 of the Draft EIR. In addition, topography is considered in the noise evaluation of estimated construction noise levels at nearby existing residences, as described on page 3.11-20 of the Draft EIR.

An analysis of construction vibration is presented on page 3.11-27 of the Draft EIR. As stated in this section and in the Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis included as Appendix F, vibration from construction was evaluated, and the nearest structures would be exposed to vibration levels below the applicable damage and annoyance thresholds.

Impacts on property values are economic in nature and are generally outside the scope of CEQA (see State CEQA Guidelines Section 15131) and are, therefore, properly excluded from the EIR. As a result, the cost of homes is also outside the scope of the EIR. Note that the project includes affordable housing, which is discussed in Section 3.12, Population and Housing, of the EIR. Any City of San Bruno housing development projects that include five or more units and all new nonresidential developments throughout the City are subject to the City’s affordable housing program. The proposed project is consistent with these regulations, and any further housing development in the City would be subject to the same requirements.

I3-4
The potential for vegetation management in the sloped area above Madison Avenue to ultimately result in erosion impacts is addressed in Impact GEO-2 under Operation, beginning on page 3.6-8 of the Draft EIR (see also Impact WQ-1, beginning on page 3.9-8 of the Draft EIR). As explained in the impact discussion, “the project design would follow recommendations outlined in the project- specific geotechnical report (Appendix E, Final Geotechnical and Geological Investigation). This would include protecting fill slopes against erosion by hydroseeding or hydromulching with deeply rooted, fast-growing vegetation after construction is complete. If that vegetation would not establish prior to rains, the recommendation is to protect slopes using measures like hay bales and silt fences (Appendix E).”
The project also includes a storm drainage system. As explained on page 3.9-10 of the Draft EIR, “As part of the project, stormwater would be conveyed from multiple points across the residential area and conveyed into a bioretention area in a private storm drain easement within the dedicated open space. The stormwater treatment basins and onsite detention would be sized to contain the runoff so that it would be at a minimum at existing conditions or below them for a 25- year storm.” Additionally, as described in Section 8.1.5 of the report in Appendix E, remedial grading would be conducted on slopes to address instability.

The potential for future instability in the existing landslide areas can be mitigated by minor remedial grading. Prior to grading these areas, the depth of the loose material should be determined with probes and hand-auger borings. Loose/disturbed soil should be excavated by hand so the remaining thickness of the loose/disturbed soil is less than 12 inches. The soil exposed at the excavation subgrade should be moisture-conditioned to near optimum and compacted with a large vibratory plate (Turtle) to at least 90 percent relative compaction. The fill should then be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness, moisture-conditioned to near optimum moisture content, and compacted in accordance with recommendations presented above in Table 5. The surface of the regraded areas should be relatively uniform and should match the adjacent grades on the slope face.

Hydroseeding or hydromulching with deeply rooted, fast-growing vegetation should be performed after construction is complete. If the vegetation will not be established prior to the rainy season, slopes should be protected using measures such as netting, hay bales, and/or silt fences.

Finally, note that not all trees would be removed in this area, and those removed would be eucalyptus (nonnative) and trees that are dead, in declining health, or hazardous, as explained on Draft EIR page 2-13.

should also be considered for removal. Trees that are otherwise healthy can be selected for removal if they are deemed a fire hazard after other methods for fuel reduction (e.g., crown raising) have been considered.

I3-5
Section 3.3, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR considers impacts on all known biological resources, including wildlife, in the project area. Mitigation measures BIO-1a, BIO-1b, and BIO-1c (described on Draft EIR pages 3.3-7 through 3.3-12) all pertain to the protection of wildlife species and mitigate Impact BIO-1 (described on page 3.3-7) to less-than-significant levels.

I3-6
Construction noise is evaluated based on construction schedule and equipment information, and was determined to be significant before mitigation, as described in Impact NOI-1 beginning on page

3.11-18 of the Draft EIR. Although triple-pane windows are not required, other mitigation is required and would reduce this impact to less than significant. Specifically, mitigation measure NOI- 1a (described on Draft EIR pages 3.11-20 and 3.11-21) would be required, which includes various noise reduction measures be incorporated during project construction to reduce construction noise to the extent feasible. In addition, mitigation measure NOI-1b (as described on Draft EIR page 3.11- 21) would also apply, which would require the implementation of temporary noise barriers if it is determined that 10 decibels (dB) or greater increases over the background ambient noise level are occurring at nearby residences during construction, if feasible. With implementation of these mitigation measures together, noise impacts from project construction were determined to be less than significant. Triple-pane windows would not be appropriate mitigation. First, they are not necessary to reduce impacts to less than significant. Additionally, such a measure would require permanent modifications to existing housing to address a temporary impact, and it is uncertain whether it would be feasible to replace windows on private residences. Lastly, the cost and time to do so are unknown. Therefore, the City declines to include installing triple-pane windows as part of noise mitigation.

I3-7
Regarding the comment related to joyful noise (e.g., noise from typical activities such as children playing or families gathering) affecting the neighbors, this kind of noise could be generated both from the playing fields and the residences. Playing field noise is addressed beginning on page 3.11- 26 of the Draft EIR under Impact NOI-1. As discussed in this analysis, noise from children playing was modeled, and the estimated results indicated that noise from the proposed playing fields is not expected to exceed City of San Bruno noise standards or substantially exceed existing ambient noise levels at the nearest residences to the proposed playing fields. This impact was determined to be less than significant. Regarding joyful noise from residences, the project residences would generally be located farther from existing residences and would also result in less noise from people talking or gathering than the playing field. The EIR focuses on significant impacts of the proposed project, as provided for in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(a). The noise generated by new residences would be less than the less-than-significant noise generated by the playing fields.

Impact PS-3, beginning on page 3.13-11 of the Draft EIR, addresses the potential for schools to have capacity for students generated as a result of the proposed project. That impact discussion notes that enrollment has been decreasing in recent years and accounts for anticipated future population growth as a result of the proposed project. The Draft EIR also discusses cumulative impacts in Chapter 5, Other CEQA Considerations, which addresses population growth in relation to nearby projects combined with impacts of the proposed project. On page 5-15, the Draft EIR concludes that buildout of the General Plan would result in less-than-significant impacts on schools. Additionally, note that SMUHSD declared Crestmoor High School surplus property in March 2019, as indicated on Draft EIR page 4-14, and the school has been closed since 1980, as indicated on Draft EIR page ES-1.

Therefore, no issues regarding school capacity are anticipated. Additionally, as explained on pages

3.13-4 through 3.13-5 of the Draft EIR, fees are collected to address school facilities. The specific fees for the San Bruno Park School District and San Mateo Union High School District are described on Draft EIR pages 3.13-6 and 3.13-7.

The commenter suggests making the project site into a park or potentially a soccer stadium with seating and a running track. To be carried forward for evaluation in the Draft EIR, one requirement for an alternative is that it must meet the most basic project objectives (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126(a)). The following are objectives of the proposed project, as listed on pages 2-5 and 2-6 of the Draft EIR.
 Redevelop an underutilized site with a residential neighborhood that provides a variety of home sizes at a density that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.  Provide housing at a range of income levels (including low- and moderate-income households) that would assist the City in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) targets.  Provide housing at a range of income levels (including low- and moderate-income households) that would assist the City of San Bruno in meeting its RHNA targets.  Provide new single-family detached homes that would provide housing for families at a variety of income levels (including low- and moderate-income households) in the city.  Provide a variety of home sizes at a range of sales prices and at a density that is complementary with the existing surrounding neighborhood.
 Develop enough residential units to have an economically viable and feasible project.

By eliminating the residential component, this alternative would not fully meet the basic objectives of the project and, therefore, is not considered a reasonable alternative to the project. The commenter suggests picnic tables. Note, as well, that the latest conceptual design of the recreational component includes two plazas with picnic tables, as well as some seating areas, as shown on Figure 2-5 of the Draft EIR.

As suggested by the commenter, the VMT evaluation in the Draft EIR was conducted consistent with current guidance, as described on pages 3.15-15 through 3.15-16 of the Draft EIR. The transportation analysis team does not know where future residents will relocate from and, thus, cannot make assumptions about the No Project Alternative as suggested in the comment. However, in finding that VMT impacts of the project would be significant and unavoidable, the Draft EIR also notes the following on page 3.15-18 to articulate a similar sentiment to the commenter regarding the site-specific and regional perspectives on VMT.

Within the nine-county Bay Area, San Mateo County is a good place to build housing from a VMT perspective. Jobs are abundant and thus, commute lengths for people who live in the county are generally shorter than elsewhere in the region. However, the project consists of low-density single- family homes located in a primarily single-use neighborhood with few convenient walking or biking options to access shopping, work, education, or other opportunities. The project is also not located near any high-quality transit lines, nor does it add a mix of land uses or amenities that could reduce the number of vehicle trips or trip lengths for the existing or future residents of the neighborhood.

These environmental characteristics result in project trips being made almost exclusively by car, and so, even though trip lengths may be shorter than the regional average, the share of trips made by car (instead of walk, bike, or transit) prevents the site from complying with state goals to reduce VMT below current levels.

Regarding Alternative 1, note that the State CEQA Guidelines require that an EIR identify an “environmentally superior alternative,” other than the No Project Alternative, among the alternatives discussed in the EIR (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(2)). While the Draft EIR determines that Alternative 1 is the environmentally superior alternative on page 4-16, the City is not required to adopt it. Rather, if a proposed project would result in significant environmental impacts that would not be avoided or substantially lessened by mitigation measures, the City must consider any environmentally superior alternatives identified in the EIR and find that they are “infeasible” before approving the proposed project if it decides to approve the proposed project (Public Resources Code Sections 21002, 21081(a)(3); State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(3)).

Thus, if the City decides to adopt the proposed project, it would first be required to make findings pursuant to CEQA that the environmentally superior alternative(s) identified in the EIR, such as Alternative 1, are “infeasible.” The reasons for such findings would need to be explained in the City’s decision and would need to be supported by substantial evidence. For example, if an alternative was rejected on the basis that it fails to meet certain project objectives, then the City would need to provide evidence of this failure. Public Resources Code Section 21061.1 states that, “‘[f]easible’ means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, and technological factors.” A determination of feasibility, therefore, necessarily involves a series of judgment calls concerning potential costs, environmental effectiveness and potential environmental side effects, social policy considerations, technical realities, and potential time constraints. As a result, input such as that provided by the commenter is included in the record for consideration by decision-makers and may be the kind of input that can be considered at the time of decision-making in deciding whether any of the alternatives are infeasible.

Recreational impacts as framed in Appendix G of the 2023 State CEQA Guidelines relate to the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks such that substantial deterioration occurs, and that construction or expansion of a recreational facility would adversely affect the environment. These impacts are discussed in Section 3.14, Recreation, of the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR analyzes potential game relocations based on the reduction in field size during project operation on pages 3.14-6 and

3.14-7. This impact was determined to be less than significant. The general concern about the loss of two fields as a result of the project is noted and included in the record for consideration by decision- makers.

Since the Planning Commission hearing, the applicant provided the City with a revised Arborist Report prepared in January 2024. It is included in this Final EIR as Attachment 1. The applicant has also updated its tree removal plans as shown in Table 3-1. The revisions made to the Draft EIR to reflect this update are provided in Chapter 4, Revisions, of this Final EIR.

Table 3-1 Updated Tree Removal Quantities
Tree Category Draft EIR Quantity Removed Updated Quantity Removed Heritage Tree 162 182
Non-Heritage Tree 88 89
Total 250 271
The proposed project and the project variant would require removal of 271 trees, about 182 of which are heritage trees. The Draft EIR addresses impacts on heritage trees under Impact BIO-5 (described on page 3.3-13) and mitigation measure BIO-5 (described on pages 3.3-14 and 3.3-15).

As explained under Impact BIO-5, the applicant has indicated that 315 replacement trees would be provided for the project and project variant, which would be in accordance with the recommendations of the City. The project would obtain a tree removal permit and would, therefore, not conflict with the San Bruno Tree Ordinance. Any subsequent removal of trees as part of vegetation management or ongoing maintenance of the site would also be subject to San Bruno Tree Ordinance requirements, and permits would be obtained as needed. With mitigation, this impact is reduced to less-than-significant levels, and the updated tree counts do not change the less-than- significant determination in the Draft EIR.

Additionally, not all trees would be removed in this area, and those removed would be eucalyptus (nonnative) and trees that are dead, in declining health, or hazardous, as explained on Draft EIR page 2-13.

The vegetation management plan also provides for ongoing vegetation removal. Eucalyptus trees may be removed from the area subject to the vegetation management plan. Stumps of removed eucalyptus may be treated with herbicides to control resprouting because they can readily resprout when cut, grazed, or burned. Monterey pines, or any other trees, that are dead or in declining health should also be considered for removal. Trees that are otherwise healthy can be selected for removal if they are deemed a fire hazard after other methods for fuel reduction (e.g., crown raising) have been considered.

PC3-2
The noise analysis considered the project site’s topography. For example, regarding noise measurements during soccer games, the Draft EIR states the following on page 3.11-15.

Inspection of Appendix D-10 of the Noise Technical Report (included in Appendix F, Noise Technical Report, of this EIR) indicates that, during the 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. hours of Saturday, April 15, when soccer games were taking place, the measured ambient noise levels at the nearest residence to the north (monitoring site LT-4), were unchanged. This is believed to be due to the considerable grade separation (approximately 40 feet) between the soccer fields and nearest residences to the north.

Final Environmental Impact Report 3-14 April 2024

For calculating construction noise, the Draft EIR explains the following on page 3.11-18.

Calculations assume a standard spherical spreading loss of 6 dB per doubling of distance for maximum noise levels and a conservative 10 dBA offset to account for the substantial intervening vegetation and topography existing between the project site and nearest residences.

The Draft EIR explains the following on page 3.11-20.

Although the predicted average noise level of 63 dBA includes a 10 dB offset to account for the combination of vegetation and topography between the proposed residential construction area and the nearest residences, the area of the proposed residential construction is fairly flat and elevated relative to the neighboring residences. As a result, topographic shielding at the nearest residences during site grading activities occurring in more central areas of the site will be substantially greater than 10 dBA.

For the recreation and open space component, the Draft EIR states the following on page 3.11-22.

For the recreational and open space component, it is expected that the worst-case construction phase in terms of noise generation would be during grading. At the residences located to the immediate north of the proposed playing fields (at a distance of approximately 50 feet), using the Table 3.11-11 data and assuming 15 dBA of attenuation provided by intervening topography, predicted maximum noise levels would be approximately 61 to 70 dBA L max. Although construction noise would be temporary in nature, these estimated noise levels from construction activity could substantially exceed baseline ambient noise levels at the nearest residences to the north (monitoring sites LT-3 and LT-4 in Table 3.11-8).

The Draft EIR then explains the following later on the same page.

Although the predicted average noise level of 69 dBA includes a 15 dB offset to account for the combination of vegetation and topography between the proposed residential construction area and the nearest residences, the area of the proposed recreational and open-space construction is fairly flat and elevated relative to the neighboring residences. As a result, topographic shielding at the nearest residences during site grading activities occurring farther south from the northern project site boundary would be substantially greater than 15 dBA.

PC3-3
As illustrated in Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 of the Draft EIR, as indicated for Parcel M, the proposed project would provide 5.3 acres in the playing field area, while the project variant would provide

4.58 acres in the playing field area. Note that the City’s conceptual design, as shown in Figure 2-5, accounts for the playing field area as shown in Figure 2-7 for the proposed project. The applicant has submitted the stormwater basin location with its application, placing it adjacent to the recreation area. This is the reason why the City is evaluating these locations for the stormwater basin under the proposed project and the project variant.

3.4.4 PC4, Commissioner Durazo
PC4-1
As illustrated in Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 of the Draft EIR, the stormwater basin would be maintained by the homeowner’s association (HOA) under the proposed project and the project variant. As indicated on Draft EIR page 2-12, “The proposed project would treat stormwater with low impact development measures and would include a large bioretention area at the northwest end of the project site within the public open space dedicated to the City before being discharged to an 138

existing storm sewer main along Keefe Court.” Regarding the project variant, Draft EIR page 2-12 states, “The project variant would include a primary stormwater treatment basin located within a triangular-shaped 0.75-acre parcel that would be owned and maintained by the HOA.”

Planning staff and the EIR consultant took notes of both public and Planning Commission comments at the Planning Commission hearing, and they are responded to in this Final EIR consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088(a).

3.4.6 PC6, Commissioner Madden
PC6-1
The commenter states that the project would not involve pile driving, and that neighbors may mostly hear other construction noises, such as noise from vehicle back-up alarms. The commenter is correct that the project would not involve pile driving, which is one of the noisiest kinds of construction activity. As discussed on pages 3.11-18 through 3.11-20 of the Draft EIR, construction equipment (shown in Table 3.11-11) would generate noise that may be audible at the nearest residences, although it is not expected to exceed the quantitative noise standards contained in the City of San Bruno Municipal Code (i.e., individual construction equipment is not expected to result in noise levels greater than 85 A-weighted decibels (dBA) equivalent sound level (Leq) at a distance of 100 feet). Intervening topography would help reduce construction noise at many neighboring residences, but noise from construction activities (including back-up alarms, which are required for safety) would likely still be audible at the nearest sensitive land uses. Because a 10-dB over ambient increase may occur during construction, construction noise impacts were determined to be significant, and mitigation measures NOI-1a and NOI-1b would be required to reduce construction noise impacts to less-than-significant levels. Refer also to response to comment I3-6.

PC6-2
See response to comment I2-1 regarding haul routes. Regarding the potential to damage or dirty pavement, the City as a general condition of its Grading Permit requires that, “The Contractor shall maintain the streets, sidewalks and all other public rights-of-way in a clean, safe and usable condition. All spills of soil, rock or construction debris shall be removed from the public right of way throughout construction and upon completion of the project. All adjacent property, private or public, shall be maintained in a clean, safe and usable condition.”1 Therefore, damage to roadways would be repaired, and roadways would be kept clean.

Regarding future field use, the Draft EIR states the following on page 2-7.

However, at this time, the City has no certain future users and therefore the parameters and characteristics of this additional use (e.g., intensity, time of day, day of week) cannot be defined at this time.

Specific to transportation, the Draft EIR explains the following on page 3.15-14.

Although it is foreseeable that the existing leagues that use the fields would continue to use the field once improved, the City also anticipates that other groups would use the facilities in the future, thereby potentially increasing use of the facilities. This could result in additional trips to the site at other times of the day and week. However, at this time, the City has no certain future users and therefore the parameters and characteristics of this additional use (e.g., intensity, time of day, day of week) cannot be defined at this time and cannot be further analyzed. Trip generation associated with the recreation/open space area includes trips made by users, spectators, and maintenance and management personnel. Because the number and timing of trips associated with the recreation/open space area is already captured in background trips, the recreation/open space area was not added into the travel demand analysis. The analysis in this EIR represents the level of recreation activity expected, based on existing and past use and is a conservative analysis from a VMT perspective. If fewer sports games were scheduled for the site, VMT associated with the recreation/open space area could be lower than existing levels.

Chapter 4
Revisions to the Draft EIR
This section includes revisions identified by the City of San Bruno (City) as needed to clarify the draft environmental impact report (EIR), in addition to revisions described in Chapter 3 of this Final EIR in response to comments on the Draft EIR. None of these revisions results in new or more severe environmental impacts.

4.1 Executive Summary
Table ES-1 was revised to correct a typographical error.

Impacts TCR-1 and TRCTCR-2: Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is (a) listed or eligible for listing in the CRHR or in a local register of historical resources, as defined in PRC Section 5020.1(k), or (b) determined by the lead agency to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of PRC Section 5024.1? Potentially significant

4.2 Project Description
The following revision was made to the discussion under Section 2.3.5, Landscaping, to reflect updated tree removal numbers provided by the applicant.

Under both the proposed project and project variant, approximately 250271 trees would be removed, and 315 trees would be planted.

While tree removal would increase compared to that analyzed in the Draft EIR, the increase is small and does not change the analysis under Impact BIO-5, which concludes that compliance with the heritage tree ordinance and Mitigation Measure BIO-5 would reduce impacts to less than significant.

4.3 Biological Resources
The following revision was made to the discussion under Impact BIO-5, beginning on page 3.3-13 of the Draft EIR, to reflect updated tree removal numbers provided by the applicant and as provided in Attachment 2.

Trees on the site that qualify as protected heritage trees under the city’s heritage tree ordinance would be removed as part of the project. According to the most recent landscape plan, for the residential component of both the proposed project and the project variant, about 271250 trees would be removed from the site, about 182162 of which are heritage trees.

While tree removal would increase compared to that analyzed in the Draft EIR, the increase is small and does not change the analysis, which concludes that compliance with the heritage tree ordinance and Mitigation Measure BIO-5 would reduce impacts to less than significant. 141

Revisions to the Draft EIR

300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report 4-2 April 2024

The following revisions were made to the discussion under Impact BIO-5 to correct typographical errors:

While the residential area is adjacent to natural areas, the proposed project and variant contain a 70- foot area zoned as defensible space. Plant palettes for the residential component contain some native plants (e.g., rRosa Ccalifornica) but also contain numerous nonnative plants (e.g., pPittosporum tobira, lLomandra confertifolia, 3.3-13Nerium oldeander). As a result, there is likely a conflict with policy ERC-10. However, the site already contains nonnative plants ( Deodar cedarCedrus deodara, Platanus × hispanica, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Pinus radiata, and Festuca perennis). Therefore, there would be no environmental impact resulting from the conflict with this General Plan policy.

4.4 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The following revision was made on pages 3.8-5 through 3.8-6 in response to comment L1-5.

The following revisions were made to page 3.8-7 of the Draft EIR in response to comment L1-5.

parcels along the edge of the Area B Boundary that are split by the boundary shall be considered as fully being within Area B.

The following revisions have been made to pages 3.8-11 through 3.8-12 of the Draft EIR in response to comment L1-5.

4.5 Public Services
The last paragraph on page 3.13-11 was revised to correct a typographical error.

This indicates that the addition of 31 students after this substantial decrease in study student enrollment would be within the student count that can be accommodated by existing facilities.

4.6 Alternatives Analysis
The following revision was made on page 4-2 to Section 4.3 of the Draft EIR to include an unintentionally omitted significant impact to the list of the proposed project’s and project variant’s significant impacts.

The following significant impacts were identified for the proposed project and project variant.  Impact AQ-2: Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is a nonattainment area for an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.
 Impact BIO-1: A substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The following information was added to the evaluation of Alternative 3 on page 4-20 of the Draft EIR to account for the unintentional omission of Impact AQ-2 from the list of significant impacts.

It is not clear if Alternative 3 would avoid or substantially reduce any significant impacts of the proposed project.
 Impact AQ-2: Alternative 3 would have the same project site as the proposed project and would require the same kind of ground disturbance as the proposed project, resulting in similar fugitive dust impacts as the proposed project.
 Impact BIO-1, Impact BIO-5: Alternative 3 would have the same project site as the proposed project and would require the same kind of structure removal and vegetation removal as the proposed project, resulting in similar impacts to the proposed project. 143

The following information was added to the evaluation of Alternative 4 on page 4-21 of the Draft EIR to account for the unintentional omission of Impact AQ-2 from the list of significant impacts.

Additionally, it is not clear if Alternative 4 would avoid or substantially reduce any significant impacts of the proposed project.
 Impact AQ-2: Alternative 4 would have the same project site as the proposed project and would require the same kind of ground disturbance as the proposed project, resulting in similar fugitive dust impacts as the proposed project.
 Impact BIO-1, Impact BIO-5: Alternative 4 would have the same project site as the proposed project and require the same kind of structure removal and vegetation removal as the proposed project, resulting in similar impacts to the proposed project.

The following information was added to the evaluation of Alternative 5 on page 4-22 of the Draft EIR to account for the unintentional omission of Impact AQ-2 from the list of significant impacts.

Additionally, it is not clear if Alternative 5 would avoid or substantially reduce any significant impacts of the proposed project.
 Impact AQ-2: Alternative 5 would have the same project site as the proposed project and would require the same kind of ground disturbance as the proposed project, resulting in similar fugitive dust impacts as the proposed project.
 Impact BIO-1, Impact BIO-5: Alternative 5 would have the same project site as the proposed project and require the same kind of structure removal and vegetation removal as the proposed project, resulting in similar impacts to the proposed project.

4.7 Other CEQA Considerations
The first paragraph on page 5-8 was revised to clarify that this is a general statement rather than a statement or conclusion about the impacts of the proposed project.

As discussed in Section 3.2, BAAQMD’s emissions thresholds (Table 3.2-6) represent the average daily emissions that a project may generate, contributing to a cumulative impact on regional air quality. Therefore, exceedances of the BAAQMD project-level thresholds would indicate that impacts would be cumulatively considerable for project activities in the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB). As discussed under Impact AQ-2 in Section 3.2, project construction and operation would not generate regional criteria pollutant emissions in excess of applicable BAAQMD thresholds.

Section 5.3, Significant and Unavoidable Impacts , starting on page 5-19, was revised to correct an error regarding Impact NOI-1. That impact is less than significant with mitigation, as explained in Section 3.11, Noise.

State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(b) requires EIRs to include a discussion of the significant environmental effects that cannot be avoided if the proposed project is implemented. The following impacts are considered significant and unavoidable; that is, no feasible mitigation is available to reduce the project’s impacts to a less-than-significant level.  Impact GHG-1 (project and cumulative): Generation of greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.  Impact GHG-2 (project and cumulative): Conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.  Impact NOI-1 (project): Generation of increased ambient noise levels in the project vicinity in excess of applicable standards.

Introduction and Overview
SummerHill Homes is planning to redevelop the subject property located at 300 Piedmont Avenue in San Bruno CA. HortScience | Bartlett Consulting, Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company, was asked to prepare an Arborist Report for this project for submittal to the City of San Bruno. The property consists of an unoccupied high school campus with associated buildings, parking lots, sports fields, and landscaping.

This report provides the following information:

1. An assessment of the health, structural condition, protected status, and suitability for preservation of the trees located on and adjacent to the proposed project area based on a visual inspection from the ground.

2. An assessment of the trees that would be preserved and removed based on preliminary development plans.

3. Preliminary guidelines for tree preservation during the design, construction, and maintenance phases of development.

Trees were assessed on May 11, 12, and 16, 2022. The survey was limited to trees greater than 3 in. diameter. Chain-link fencing generally defined the project area. “Forest areas” were present on the east and west sides of the site. Trees located approximately 15 - 20 feet beyond the forest area edge were included. The assessment procedure was a visual assessment from the ground, consisting of the following steps:

1. Identifying the tree species.

2. Attaching a numerically coded metal tag to the trunk of each tree.

3. Recording the tree’s location on a map.

4. Measuring the trunk diameter at a point 54-inches above grade.

5. Evaluating the health and structural condition using a scale of 0 – 5:
5 - A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease, with good structure and form typical of the species.
4 - Tree with slight decline in vigor, small amount of twig dieback, or minor structural defects that could be corrected.
3 - Tree with moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, thinning of crown, poor leaf color, moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with regular care. 2 - Tree in decline, epicormic growth, extensive dieback of medium to large branches, significant structural defects that cannot be abated.
1 - Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of foliage from epicormic shoots (secondary shoots that arise along the trunk and branches); extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.
0 – Tree is dead.

6. Commenting on the presence of defects in structure, insects or diseases and other aspects of development.

7. Evaluating suitability for preservation as low, moderate and high.

Some trees located in “forest areas” were inaccessible. Such trees were included in the assessment and tagged on the fence or nearby branches. Assessment of trunk diameter, tree health and structural condition was limited to what could be observed from the school site.

Description of Trees
Three hundred sixty-one (361) trees representing 21 species were evaluated (Table 1). Coast live oak and toyon are native to the San Bruno area. Some trees of these species may be indigenous to the site. Other trees were generally ornamental, non-native species commonly observed in the region.

Among the 361 trees, 22 were near the southeast corner were identified as potentially being off-site.

These trees were included in the assessment because either the property line was unclear or they were close to the property line. Overall, 29 (8%) trees were in good condition, 97 (27%) were fair, 225 (62%) were poor, and ten (3%) were dead (Table 1).

Descriptions of each tree are found in the Tree Assessment, and approximate locations are plotted on the Tree Assessment Map (see Exhibits).

he former school site was located near the top of a ridge between Interstate 280 to the east and a residential neighborhood on the other sides. Most of the trees and associated canopy cover were located along the property boundary and adjacent to roadways. Several long, irregular rows were present between sports fields, or in planters in parking areas.

Coast live oak and Monterey pine were the most frequently occurring species, each with approximately 30% of the population. One hundred and nine (109) coast live oaks were present along the edges of the site (Photo 1). Many younger trees were growing within the hedgerow south of the running track. The oaks varied in development from young to mature with trunk diameters ranging from 4 to 30 in. Most individuals were young to semi-mature with fewer mature specimens leading to an average diameter of 10 in. Thirteen (12%) trees were in good condition, 43 (39%) were fair, and 53 (49%) were poor. Trees generally had rounded or vase form with multiple attachments arising between 5 and 9 feet. Many trees a history of pruning including crown-raising and rounding over.

Trees in poor and fair condition were
characterized by past branch failures,
trunk wounds and poor structure. Several
were growing through fences at edges of
the site.

One hundred and eight (108) Monterey
pine were present, most along the
undeveloped edges of the site.

Diameters ranged from 5 to 59 inches,
with an average of 28 inches. Many
trees were over-mature with
overextended branches and pine bark
beetle infestation. Condition was poor
overall (82 trees, or 76%). Several of the
larger trees in poor condition were
growing at the front of school buildings
(Photo 2). Trees #1, 2, 25, 216, 217
311, and 313 were dead. Fourteen
pines were fair. Pines #100, 303, 317,
355 and 357 were younger, vigorous
trees in good condition, with diameters
from 8 to 18 inches.

Twenty-seven (27) blue Atlas cedars
were growing in rows or groups around
the campus (Photo 3, page 4). About
half were in fair condition (13 trees), with
the rest divided evenly between poor and
good (7 trees each). Trees were mature
and multi-stemmed, with trunk diameters
from 6 to 28 inches. Overall the cedars
were some of the most vigorous trees on
site.

species on site, with trunk diameters of 30 and 14
inches. View is from the southwest.

wenty-four (24) London planes were present, many growing in rows along parking lots at the south end of campus. Most of these were in poor structural condition (20 trees), having been pollarded in the past (Photo 4). Trees were young to semi-mature, with diameters ranging from 8 to 18 inches. Planes #177 and 178 were in fair condition; #176 and 179 were good.

wenty-one (21) myoporum were growing in hedges and along slopes between playing fields. Nearly all were in poor condition, multiple attachments at the base and very sparse crowns (20 trees).

Myoporum #97 was dead.

Seventeen (17) glossy privet were present, most of them crowded together in a raised planter adjacent to an old community pool in an open courtyard. All were in poor condition, with stem decay and history of limb removal. Stem sizes ranged from 7 to 16 inches.

Eleven (11) Victorian box were growing in hedges around a play field. All were multi-stemmed with trunks from 1 to 6 inches. Many showed branch dieback and several had yellowing foliage. Condition was poor.

Seven blackwood acacia were assessed. Six acacias were in fair condition; tree #20 was poor.

Several vigorous trees were growing in raised planters in a school courtyard. Stems sizes ranged from 3 to 8 inches. None of the acacia were in good condition.

Seven white poplar were growing near slopes crowded with other trees at the northwest side of the site. All had a narrow fastigiate form. The poplars were young, with diameters from 7 to 10 inches.

Poplars #234 and 239 were fair, and #233, 235, 241 and 359 were poor. Tree #237 was dead.

Seven cork oak were growing in planters in school courtyards. Five were in fair condition. Oaks #131 and 132 were in poor condition with sparse crowns. Trees were semi-mature, with trunks from 11 to 17 inches.

No other species was represented by more than four trees. Included in this group were:

 Manna gum #221, 224, 229, and 231 were growing in a wooded area to the northwest of the playing fields. Diameters ranged from 5 to 38 inches. Trees #224 and 231 were fair; #221 was poor, and #229 was suppressed and in very poor condition.

 Semi-mature cajeput paperbark trees #152 – 155 were growing together in a small courtyard.

Diameters ranged from 16 – 20 inches. All had multiple or codominant attachments and raised crowns. #152, 153 and 155 were fair; #154 was poor. It was leaning and very crowded by the other trees.

 Lawson false cypress #249, 251 and 258 were growing along Courtland Drive. Tree #251 was in good condition with trunk diameters from 12 to 18 inches and a vigorous crown. Tree #249 was in fair condition with trunks from 10 to 22 inches and sparser foliage. Lawson cypress #258 was 23 inches. It was in poor condition with dieback and history of limb removal.

 Bronze loquat #151 and 157 were growing in small outdoor courtyards within the school building. Loquat #151 was in good condition and #157 was fair. Both were 11 inches. Loquat #156 had a 9 inch diameter and was dead.

 Toyon #173 (very poor), 340 (fair) and 354 (poor) were growing in crowded conditions on slopes or near fences. Diameters ranged from 6 to 12 inches. None of the toyon were in good condition.

 Blue gum #281 was growing near a fence on Courtland Drive. It was 26 inches and had been topped, resulting in a sparse small crown. It was in poor condition.

 Olive #159 had codominant stems of 3 and 5 inches. It was in fair condition and crowded by other trees in a school courtyard.

161
 C
hinese elm #160 was nearby in the same courtyard. It was a young tree of 3 inches in fair condition. It was leaning northeast.

 Plum #89 was in poor condition and crowded by shrubs. It had codominant stems of 6 inches.

 Japanese cedar #39 was in fair condition and had codominant stems of 13 and 16 inches. It was growing on a slope and had a strong corrected lean. (Photo 3).

 Lemon-scented gum #68 had a diameter of 37 inches, located in a parking lot planting area near Courtland Drive. Its base was pillowing over a curb and it was in fair condition with a vigorous crown.

City of San Bruno Heritage Tree Status
San Bruno has several criteria to determine if a tree has Heritage status:

 Any native bay (Umbellularia californica), buckeye (Aesculus species), oak (Quercus species), redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), or pine (Pinus radiata) tree that has a diameter of 6 in. or more measured at 54 in. above natural grade;

 Any tree or stand of trees designated by resolution of the city council to be of special historical value or of significant community benefit;

 A stand of trees, the nature of which makes each dependent on the others for survival; or

 Any other tree with a trunk diameter of 10 in. or more, measured at 54 in. above natural grade.

The City's Heritage Tree Ordinance declares such trees, whether located on City or private property, to be an asset to the community at large and provides penalties for removing or improperly pruning these trees. In addition, all public trees are protected. A permit is required for the pruning or removal of any Heritage trees. Based on my observations, 268 of the 361 trees assessed met these criteria (see Tree Assessment Form).

Trees removed with a valid tree removal permit shall be replaced in accordance with the recommendation of the City Arborist. Tree replacement shall be a minimum of either two 24-inch box size trees or one 36-inch box size tree for each Heritage tree removed. A $450 refundable deposit is also required for each tree removal. If a Heritage tree is not replaced, there is an in-lieu fee of $450 per tree removed.

Suitability for Preservation
Trees that are preserved on sites where development or other improvements are planned, must be carefully selected to make sure that they may survive construction impacts, adapt to a new environment and perform well in the landscape. Our goal is to identify trees that have the potential for long-term health, structural stability and longevity. Evaluation of suitability for preservation considers several factors:

 Tree health
Healthy, vigorous trees are better able to tolerate impacts such as root injury, demolition of existing structures, changes in soil grade and moisture, and soil compaction than are non- vigorous trees. Trees in good condition are in better health than those in poor condition.

 Structural integrity
Trees with significant amounts of wood decay and other structural defects that cannot be corrected are likely to fail. Such trees should not be preserved in areas where damage to 162
peopl
e or property is likely. Defects such as codominant or multiple stems, lean and other deviations from the vertical, heavy branches and decay are problematic and may increase the potential for a tree to fail. For example, London plane #58 displayed major structural defects and decay. I do not recommend this tree for preservation.

 Species response
There is a wide variation in the response of individual species to construction impacts and changes in the environment. In our experience, coast live oak and London plane are tolerant of construction impacts, particularly if trees are irrigated properly. Blue atlas cedar are moderately tolerant. Monterey pine, blackwood acacia and blue gum have poor tolerance of construction impacts.

 Tree age and longevity
Old trees, while having significant emotional and aesthetic appeal, have limited physiological capacity to adjust to an altered environment. Young trees are better able to generate new tissue and respond to change.

 Species invasiveness
Species which spread across a site and displace desired vegetation are not always appropriate for retention. This is particularly true when indigenous species are displaced. The California Invasive Plant Inventory Database (www.cal-ipc.org) lists species identified as being invasive. San Bruno is part of the Central West Floristic Province. Myoporum is listed as having moderate invasive potential; blackwood acacia, blue gum, glossy privet, and olive have a limited invasive potential. Victorian box is on the watch list.

Each tree was rated for suitability for preservation based upon its age, health, structural condition and ability to safely coexist within a development environment (Table 2).

Table 2. Tree suitability for preservation.
300 Piedmont Avenue. San Bruno CA.

High Trees with good health and structural stability that have the potential for longevity at the site. Twenty-four (24) trees were rated as having high suitability for preservation: 13 coast live oaks, seven blue Atlas cedars, London planes #176 and #179, bronze loquat #151, and Lawson false cypress #251.

Moderate Trees in fair health and/or possessing structural defects that may be abated with treatment. Trees in this category require more intense management and monitoring, and may have shorter life-spans than those in the “high” category.

Seventy-three (73) trees were rated as having moderate suitability for preservation: 41 coast live oaks, 13 blue Atlas cedars, five cork oaks, four Monterey pines, three cajeput paperbark trees, London planes #177 and #178, bronze loquat #157, Chinese elm #160, Japanese cedar #39, Lawson false cypress #249, and toyon #340.

Low Trees in poor health or possessing significant defects in structure that cannot be abated with treatment. These trees can be expected to decline regardless of management. The species or individual tree may possess either characteristics that are undesirable in landscape settings or be unsuited for use areas. Two hundred fifty-four trees (254) were rated as having low suitability for preservation:
163
97 Monterey pines, 55 coast live oaks, 20 myoporum, 20 London planes, 17 glossy privet, 11 Victorian box, seven blackwood acacia, six white poplar, seven blue Atlas cedar, four manna gum, cork oak #131 and #132, toyon #173 and #354, blue gum #281, cajeput paperbark tree #154, Lawson false cypress #258, lemon-scented gum #68, olive #159, and plum #89.

Note: Table does not include Monterey pines #1, 2, 25, 216, 217, 311, 313; myoporum #97; bronze loquat #156; and white poplar #237. These trees were dead.

We consider trees with high suitability for preservation to be the best candidates for preservation during development. We do not generally recommend retention of trees with low suitability for preservation in areas where people or property will be present. Retention of trees with moderate suitability for preservation depends upon the intensity of proposed site changes.

Evaluation of Impacts and Recommendations for Action
Appropriate tree retention develops a practical match between the location and intensity of construction activities and the quality and health of trees. The tree assessment was the reference point for tree condition and quality. Impacts from the proposed project were assessed using the Conceptual Site Plan SP1.0 (SummerHill Homes, March 7, 2022; #2021-262) and the 300 Piedmont Avenue Tree Overlay Plan (CBG Civil Engineers, January 8, 2024).

The site plan proposes demolition of the school buildings and grounds, and construction of 155 new residential lots with connecting streets A though J within the development. The Courtland Drive alignment would remain generally in place except in the northeast corner of the site. The entire roadway will be widened. A C3 stormwater treatment area would be constructed on the hillside to the northwest. Outer areas of the property and wooded hillsides would become Open Space maintained by a homeowners association. Northern and western portions of the site would be dedicated to the City as Open Space. The site will be redeveloped from the western edge of Courtland Drive to approximately the existing perimeter road and fence lines to the north, west and south. Potential impacts to trees will be severe. Activities such as grading, installation of utilities and construction of new homes may damage adjacent tree crowns and roots adjacent to the project area.

Based on my assessment of trees and evaluation of the plans, 271 trees would be removed, 182 of them Heritage. Ninety (90) would be preserved, including 86 Heritage trees. Trees to be preserved are located at the edges of the site. Disposition status of individual trees is shown in the Tree Disposition Form, see Exhibits).

The almost uniformly poor condition of Monterey pines on the hillsides severely limits efforts to preserve trees. Pines in poor condition can be expected to decline and die. As a result, failure potential will increase. There were numerous unsurveyed trees outside the immediate project area that were also dying or in poor condition. Any trees that could fall onto developed areas should be removed.

Successful retention of all trees to be preserved is predicated on strict adherence to the Tree Preservation Guidelines (page 9). Some amount of canopy and root pruning may be required for these trees during construction.

164
Tree Preservation Guidelines
The goal of tree preservation is not merely tree survival during development but maintenance of tree health and beauty for many years. Trees retained on sites that are either subject to extensive injury during construction or are inadequately maintained become a liability rather than an asset. The response of individual trees will depend on the amount of excavation and grading, the care with which demolition is undertaken, and the construction methods. Coordinating any construction activity inside the Tree Protection Zone can minimize these impacts.

Design recommendations

1. Establish a Tree Protection Zone around each tree to be preserved. For trees outside the project area, the Tree Protection Zone shall be the existing fence line on all sides.

2. Ensure adequate but not excessive water is supplied to on-site trees to be preserved; in most cases occasional irrigation will be required. Avoid directing runoff toward trees.

3. Use only herbicides safe for use around trees and labeled for that use, even below pavement.

Pre-demolition and pre-construction treatments and recommendations

1. Trees to be preserved may require pruning to provide clearance for construction activities. All pruning shall be done by a State of California Licensed Tree Contractor (C61/D49). All pruning shall be done by Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker in accordance with the Best Management Practices for Pruning (International Society of Arboriculture, 2002) and adhere to the most recent editions of the American National Standard for Tree Care Operations (Z133.1) and Pruning (A300).

2. The project’s security fence shall define the Tree Protection Zone. Fences are to remain until all grading and construction is completed. Where demolition must occur close to trees, such as removing curb and pavement, install trunk protection devices such as winding silt sock wattling around trunks or stacking hay bales around tree trunks.

3. All tree work shall comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as well as California Fish and Wildlife code 3503-3513 to not disturb nesting birds. To the extent feasible tree pruning and removal should be scheduled outside of the breeding season. Breeding bird surveys should be conducted prior to tree work. Qualified biologists should be involved in establishing work buffers for active nests.

4. Any approved grading, construction, demolition or other work within the Tree Protection Zone should be monitored by the Consulting Arborist.

5. Prior to grading or trenching, trees may require root pruning outside the Tree Protection Zone.

Any root pruning required for construction purposes shall receive the prior approval of, and be supervised by, the Consulting Arborist.

6. All grading within the dripline of trees shall be done using the smallest equipment possible. The equipment shall operate perpendicular to the tree and operate from outside the Tree Protection Zone. Any modifications must be approved and monitored by the Consulting Arborist.

7. Roots should be cut with a saw to provide a flat and smooth cut. If roots 2 inches and greater in diameter are encountered during site work and must be cut to complete the construction, the Consulting Arborist must be consulted to evaluate effects on the health and stability of the tree and recommend treatment.

165
R
ecommendations for tree protection during construction

1. Any approved grading, construction, demolition or other work within the Tree Protection Zone should be monitored by the Consulting Arborist.

2. All contractors shall conduct operations in a manner that will prevent damage to trees to be preserved.

3. Tree protection devices are to remain until all site work has been completed within the work area. Fences or other protection devices may not be relocated or removed without permission of the Consulting Arborist.

4. Construction trailers, traffic and storage areas must remain outside Tree Protection Zone at all times.

5. Any root pruning required for construction purposes shall receive the prior approval of and be supervised by the Consulting Arborist. Roots should be cut with a saw to provide a flat and smooth cut. Removal of roots larger than 2 inches in diameter should be avoided.

6. If roots 2 inches and greater in diameter are encountered during site work and must be cut to complete the construction, the Consulting Arborist must be consulted to evaluate effects on the health and stability of the tree and recommend treatment.

7. C3 area and western edge of site grading: Trees to be removed at top of slope shall be cut at or just above the base. Leave remaining root systems or portions of roots in place to help stabilize hillside and minimize erosion on slopes below grading areas.

8. Any brush clearing required within the Tree Protection Zone shall be accomplished with hand-operated equipment.

9. Trees to be removed shall be felled so as to fall away from Tree Protection Zone and avoid pulling and breaking of roots of trees to remain. If roots are entwined, the Consulting Arborist may require first severing the major woody root mass before extracting the trees, or grinding the stump below ground.

10. All down brush and trees shall be removed from the Tree Protection Zone either by hand, or with equipment sitting outside the Tree Protection Zone. Extraction shall occur by lifting the material out, not by skidding across the ground.

11. Prior to grading or trenching, trees may require root pruning outside the Tree Protection Zone. Any root pruning required for construction purposes shall receive the prior approval of, and be supervised by, the Consulting Arborist.

12. Spoils from trench, footing, utility or other excavation shall not be placed within the Tree Protection Zone, neither temporarily nor permanently.

13. All grading within the dripline of trees shall be done using the smallest equipment possible.

The equipment shall operate perpendicular to the tree and operate from outside the Tree Protection Zone. Any modifications must be approved and monitored by the Consulting Arborist.

14. If injury should occur to any tree during construction, it should be evaluated as soon as possible by the Consulting Arborist so that appropriate treatments can be applied.

166

15. N
o excess soil, chemicals, debris, equipment or other materials shall be dumped or stored within the Tree Protection Zone.

16. Any additional tree pruning needed for clearance during construction must be performed by a Certified Arborist and not by construction personnel.

Maintenance of impacted trees
Our procedures included assessing trees for observable defects in structure. This is not to say that trees without significant defects will not fail. Failure of apparently defect-free trees does occur, especially during storm events. Wind forces, for example, can exceed the strength of defect-free wood causing branches and trunks to break. Wind forces coupled with rain can saturate soils, reducing their ability to hold roots, and blow over defect-free trees. Although we cannot predict all failures, identifying those trees with observable defects is a critical component of enhancing public safety.

Furthermore, trees change over time. Our inspections represent the condition of the tree at the time of inspection. As trees age, the likelihood of failure of branches or entire trees increases. Annual tree inspections are recommended to identify changes to tree health and structure. In addition, trees should be inspected after storms of unusual severity to evaluate damage and structural changes.

Initiating these inspections is the responsibility of the client and/or tree owner.

Preserved trees will experience a physical environment different from that pre-development. As a result, tree health and structural stability should be monitored. Occasional pruning, fertilization, mulch, pest management, replanting and irrigation may be required. In addition, provisions for monitoring both tree health and structural stability following construction must be made a priority.

300 Piedmont Avenue Project
Final Environmental Impact Report Errata
Introduction
The City of San Bruno (City) published the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project (project) on April 9, 2024. The Final EIR will be used to support the City’s decision with respect to the project.

This Errata document includes minor clarifications and corrections to the Final EIR that were identified following the publication of the Final EIR. Revisions presented in this Errata document do not present significant new information that would deprive the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment on a significant environmental impact of the proposed project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an impact. Additionally, information clarified in this Errata document does not present a new feasible project alternative or mitigation measure that is considerably different from what was previously analyzed in the Final EIR. All of the information in this document merely clarifies, amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications to the Final EIR. Because the clarifications or corrections in this document are not considered to be “significant new information,” as set forth in Section 10588.5 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, recirculation of the Final EIR is not required.

Errata Items and Revisions to the Final EIR
This section describes errata items and shows revisions for the Final EIR. The revisions are shown in the following section. Revisions included in this Errata document are shown in double underlined text or double strikethrough text to distinguish from revisions included in the original Final EIR that are show in underlined text or strikethrough text. The following revisions make minor updates to acreages described in the EIR.

Draft EIR Page 1-4
This EIR also evaluates a variant to the proposed project. In the variant, the residential component of the project would be unchanged, and the City would still develop a portion of the City-owned acreage into recreational facilities, including a multiuse field with permanent lighting. The differences between the project and the variant would be that the primary stormwater treatment basin for the residential project would be located within a triangular-shaped 0.75-acre parcel on private property as opposed to a location within an easement on City-owned property. Additionally, the project variant would include dedication of approximately 12.2412.19 acres of land to the City for public open space, while the private open space would be about 7.51 acres (i.e., a total of

12.2412.19 acres of publicly accessible open space).

Draft EIR Page 2-1
In addition, pursuant to a settlement agreement between the City of San Bruno and the San Mateo Union High School District, the owner of the project site, the EIR analyzes a variant to the project that reflects: (1) dedication of a 6.476.42-acre portion of the project site’s wooded slope area to the 201
City as publicly accessible open space, which would thereafter be maintained by the City; (2) retention of approximately 7.5 acres of sloped area as private open space; and (3) dedication of a smaller space to the City for athletic field and recreational supportive uses. Overall, the variant would result in 12.2412.19 acres of publicly accessible open space as compared to the 19.2 acres of publicly accessible open space and would shift maintenance obligations for 6.476.42 acres of sloped wooded area from the property owner to the City.

Draft EIR Page 2-7
The project variant would include dedication of approximately 12.2412.19 acres of land to the City for public open space (approximately 6.476.42 sloped acres and approximately 4.58 rough graded acres for the playing fields, and 1.19 acres for recreational supportive uses), while the private open space in the sloped wooded areas would be about 7.51 acres. The playing fields and other recreational uses would be the same as under the proposed project, except that the graded area in the dedicated open space for recreation use would be about 1.14 acres smaller than under the proposed project. A vegetation management plan would still be implemented in the portion of the wooded slope area dedicated to the City.

Draft EIR Page 2-12
Vehicular circulation would be provided to the project site from Piedmont Avenue at the southern entrance and Courtland Drive at its northern entrance. Courtland Drive, a private driveway with a public access easement that would become a public right-of-way of about 2.92.55 acres, would be reconstructed and realigned to meet the City’s design standards as part of the project. Public parking would be provided as shown in Figure 2-5 within the parcel for recreational uses, along Courtland Drive, and on the south side of the recreational parcel along the northern extent of the residential ring road.

Draft EIR Page 3.14-6
The recreational fields would be reduced in size under the proposed project and variant compared to existing conditions. The project proposes the replacement of the existing eight fields with six multi-use fields, restroom facilities, equipment storage, picnic area, parking lot, field lighting, and additional amenities. The proposed project would include dedication of approximately 6.91 acres of public open space to the City, which the City would own and maintain, as shown on Figure 2-2 in Chapter 2, Project Description. The City would also construct improvements within about 5.3 acres of the 6.91 acres of the dedicated open space area in the northern area of the project site, including the sports field and lighting. As of the writing of this Draft EIR, the configuration of the fields has not been finalized. However, it is anticipated the field design would allow for a maximum of six soccer fields in use at any one time. Another option would include striping for up to two little league baseball fields and five soccer fields, allowing for a maximum of two little league games or five soccer games to occur at one time, as seen on Figure 2-5 of Chapter 2. The City also intends to develop various recreation, recreation-supporting amenities, and/or parking on about 1.61 acres adjacent to Courtland Drive. Additionally, the proposed project includes 12.29 acres of publicly accessible open space. The project variant includes 12.2412.19acres of dedicated open space, 4.58 acres of which are playing field space. The project variant also includes 1.19 acres of recreational supportive area along Courtland Drive and 6.476.42 acres of wooded slopes, both of which are included in the dedicated open space acreage total. The project variant also proposes 7.51 acres of 202
private open space. The proposed project and project variant include neighborhood community spaces, which include amenities such as a tot lot and areas with a more passive design.

Draft EIR Page 3.14-8 [Footnote Omitted]
Currently there are 191 acres of recreational space for public use located in San Bruno, 10 acres of which include the Crestmoor High School multi-use sports fields, which would be redeveloped under the proposed project. The proposed project includes 6.91 acres of dedicated open space,

5.3 acres of which are playing field space with a playing field capacity of six fields. The proposed project also includes 12.29 acres of publicly accessible planned unit permit open space. The project variant includes 12.2412.19 acres of dedicated open space, 4.58 acres of which are playing field space with the capacity for five fields (or six fields of reduced size). The project variant also includes

1.19 acres of recreational supportive area and 6.476.42 acres of wooded slopes, both of which are included in the dedicated open space acreage total. The project variant also proposes 7.51 acres of private open space.
[] The project includes the construction of 155 single-family detached homes, which is expected to increase the community’s population by 388 residents.

Draft EIR Pages 3.18-10 through 3.18-11
Under the proposed project, the homeowner's association would be responsible for maintaining all streets in the neighborhoods, stormwater treatment areas and infrastructure, architectural street lighting, common area landscaping, and front yard landscaping; and the City would be responsible for maintenance of the dedicated area containing the recreational facilities and the area along Courtland Drive for recreational supportive uses. The homeowner’s association would manage the wooded slopes. Under the variant, the City (or the homeowner’s association) would be responsible for the maintenance of the portion of the dedicated 6.476.42 acres, which includes sloped areas and fire management within the dedicated sloped areas. Under the variant, the homeowner’s association would maintain 7.51 acres of wooded slope. The vegetated area west of the residential development would be maintained but would not change the slope, and maintenance would increase fire prevention, thus reducing the risk of fire and postfire impacts. The variant would have the same design aspects as described for the proposed project and would therefore have the same impacts.

The project would not expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of postfire slope instability or drainage changes, and there would be no impact.

Draft EIR Page 3.10-3
Guiding Policy OSR-B: Recognize
the balance between maintenance
and preservation of open space
uses and the potential for wildland
fires and flooding.

CONSISTENT. The project includes dedication of approximately 6.91 acres of public open space to the City, which would include 5.3 acres of playing field space. The City also intends to develop various recreation, recreation supporting amenities, and/or parking on approximately 1.61 acres east of Courtland Drive. The project also includes management of vegetation adjacent to these open space uses. The variant would include dedication of approximately

12.2412.19 acres to the City, with 4.58 acres for the playing fields and 1.19 acres for recreation supporting amenities.
203
Implementing Policy OSR-4:

Undertake a program to add 20
acres of parkland to the City
system over the next 20 years.

Seize opportunities to develop
and/or maintain parks and
recreation facilities within existing
residential neighborhoods through
acquisition or preservation of
former school facilities.

CONSISTENT. The project includes dedication of approximately 6.91 acres of public open space, which would include recreational uses, to the City and maintain recreational use on the site. The variant includes dedication of approximately 12.2412.19 acres of open space (4.58 acres of which would be for playing field space, and 1.19 acres of which would be for recreational supportive uses). The project site is currently an unoccupied high school campus and is surrounded by single-family residences.

Draft EIR Page 3.10-14
Implementing Policy OSR-8: During
reuse of the former Crestmoor
High School site (designated for
single-family residential
development), preserve the
existing playing fields for
recreational use per direction of
the General Plan Update
Committee.

CONSISTENT AFTER PROPOSED AMENDMENT (PROPOSED
PROJECT). The project proposes amendment of Policy OSR-8 to replace the current policy with the following text: “A private development project for reuse of the Crestmoor site shall dedicate the following areas to the City (the Dedicated Property) at the approximate locations shown in Figure 5-2 (i) approximately 5.3 acres of unimproved property located west of Courtland Drive, intended for future use primarily for soccer and playing fields; and (ii) approximately 1.61 acres of unimproved property located east of Courtland Drive intended for future use for recreation-supportive improvements, such as public parking and other improvements.

Minor deviations to these locations and acreages requested by an applicant for private development to accommodate project design shall be permitted so long as the Dedicated Property can accommodate the approximate configuration shown for soccer fields and public parking as in Figure 5-2 and the Dedicated Property totals approximately 6.91 acres.

Sloped areas on the Crestmoor Site, totaling approximately 12.29 acres, in the approximate area shown on Figure 5-2 (Open Space Area), shall be preserved in an unimproved state (subject to improvements required for safety and maintenance) and made publicly accessible for open space and recreational uses as part of any private development project proposed for the Crestmoor Site.”

INCONSISTENT (VARIANT) While the proposed project would include dedication of approximately 6.91 acres of public open space to the City and retain approximately 12.29 acres of privately owned, publicly accessible open space, the variant would include dedication of approximately 12.2412.19 acres of land to the City for public open space and retain approximately 7.51 acres of privately owned open space. The playing fields and other recreational uses would be the same as with the proposed project, except that the graded area within the dedicated open space that could be improved by the City and used by these facilities would be about 1.14 acres smaller than with the proposed project. Similar to the proposed project, without to an amendment of the General Plan, the variant would not be consistent with Implementing Policy OSR-8. However, the inconsistency would not result in an environmental impact because it would not have any physical consequences to the environment.

204
Final EIR Page 1-2
In addition, pursuant to a settlement agreement between the City and the San Mateo Union High School District, the owner of the project site, the EIR analyzes a variant to the project that reflects:
(1) dedication of a 6.476.42-acre portion of the project site’s wooded slope area to the City as publicly accessible open space, which would thereafter be maintained by the City; (2) retention of approximately 7.5 acres of sloped area as private open space; and (3) dedication of an approximately 4.6 acre space to the City for athletic field and recreational supportive uses. Overall, the variant would result in 12.2412.19 acres of publicly accessible open space as compared to the

19.2 acres of publicly accessible open space and would shift maintenance obligations for 6.476.42 acres of sloped wooded area from the property owner to the City.

Final EIR Page 1-3
The project variant would include dedication of approximately 12.2412.19 acres of land to the City for public open space (approximately 6.476.42 sloped acres and approximately 4.58 rough graded acres for the playing fields, and 1.19 acres for recreational supportive uses), while the private open space in the sloped wooded areas would be about 7.51 acres. The playing fields and other recreational uses would be the same as under the proposed project, except that the graded area in the dedicated open space for recreation use would be about 1.14 acres smaller than under the proposed project. A vegetation management plan would still be implemented in the portion of the wooded slope area dedicated to the City.

WHEREAS, a Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to properties within a 1,000 foot radius of the project site on May 17, 2024 and duly posted in the San Mateo Daily Journal on Saturday, May 18, 2024; and

WHEREAS, the City Council held a Public Hearing on the Planned Unit Permit, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Architectural Review Permit, Tree Removal Permit, Density Bonus Request, and Affordable Housing Plan on May 28, 2024, and on said date, the Public Hearing was opened, held and closed.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Bruno, based on facts in the staff reports, written and oral testimony, and exhibits presented:

1. With respect to the Vesting Tentative Map, the City Council hereby finds:

a) The proposed tract map, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the general plan, as amended pursuant to the Planning Commission's recommendation, and any specific plan as specified in Section 65451 of the Government Code.

Basis for Finding: The lotting plans of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map support the single-family project given the proposed allowed density, lot coverage, and height for the Low-Density Residential General Plan land use designation. The overall project is consistent with the General Plan policy to “encourage innovative design and site planning in new development which enhance the community’s appearance and assure compatibility with the surrounding scale, character, and intensity of land uses”.

b) The real property to be subdivided, and each lot or parcel to be created, is of such character that it can be used safely for building purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood, geologic hazard or other menace.

Basis for Finding: The Project would preserve the sloped hillside as open space and develop the flat portion of the site to create 155 residential lots. The resulting home sites are relatively flat and suitable residential development.

Additionally, applicable mitigation measures and conditions of approval will 223
ensure that each lot to be created can be safely developed without danger to health from fire, geologic hazard and ground contamination. Therefore, no danger to health or peril from fire, flood, geologic hazard or other menace is likely to occur.

c) Each lot or parcel to be created will constitute a buildable site and will be capable of being developed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the zoning code.

Basis for Finding: The Vesting Tentative Map will create legal individual parcels, with unique assessor parcel numbers, for each single-family home site.

The Applicant has requested to develop the site pursuant to the Planned Unit Permit requirements of Chapter 12.116 of the Code which allows for relief from the strict application of the provisions of the R-1 zoning district. The parcels are designed to accommodate the proposed development plan, with each site designed to accommodate homes with minimum four-foot side setbacks and 15-foot front yard setbacks. Therefore, each parcel to be created will constitute a buildable site and will be capable of being developed in accordance with the proposed development plan.

d) The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development.

Basis for Finding: The overall site area is 40.2 acres, resulting in a gross density of 3.85 units per acre which is consistent with the General Plan Low Density Residential designation of 2.1 – 8.0 units per acre. Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development.

e) The design of the subdivision and improvements, and the type of improvements, is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat or to cause serious public health problems.

Basis for Finding: The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) includes mitigation measures requiring the Applicant to incorporate erosion control measures to reduce storm water runoff and compliance with the Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements; to minimize temporary construction dust impacts to an acceptable level; to implement measures to avoid disturbing birds and bats or their habitat, and to avoid tree removal when wildlife is nesting. Therefore, substantial environmental damage and harm to wildlife is not likely to occur.

f) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.

224
Basis for Finding: As conditioned, the final map must show a public access easement on the interior streets to facilitate public access to the open space.

The tentative map shows a public access easement for the sloped open space behind the homes on the west side of the site. Courtland Drive and Piedmont Avenue will be public streets to maintain the existing public access adjacent to the development. Additionally, existing easements providing access to the church property east of Courtland Drive will be amended to align with the existing driveway locations. An existing Caltrans easement providing access to adjacent Interstate 280 Freeway property will be amended or restated as well.

Therefore, the design of the subdivision and improvements will not conflict with any public use of the subject property.

2. With respect to the Planned Unit Permit, the Planning Commission hereby finds:

a) The Applicant has demonstrated that they intend to obtain a building permit for the Residential Project within six (6) months of this approval and that they intend to complete the construction within a reasonable time.

Basis for Finding: At their own risk, the Applicant has submitted a demolition permit for review prior to entitlement and has shared their construction schedule with the City, which together indicate their desire to obtain a building permit and complete the project in a timely manner.

b) The proposed development conforms to the general plan in terms of general location, density and general standards of development and criteria contained in the San Bruno Municipal Code.

Basis for Finding: The site is within the Low-Density Residential land use classification which allows a residential density of 2.1 – 8.0 units per acre. The project proposes a residential density of 3.68 units per acre, which is within the range for the land use classification under the General Plan. The site has the same land use classification and zoning as the adjacent Crestmoor neighborhood. The General Plan encourages the redevelopment of former school sites with clustered small lot development that preserves open space.

The project would implement clustered development on less than 50% of the site, preserving a majority of the site as open space.

c) The design of proposed single-family dwellings conforms to the basic design principles of the residential design guidelines.

Basis for Finding: The Residential Project includes seven four-bedroom floor plans in two neighborhoods with distinctive architecture and varying lot sizes.

The two proposed “neighborhoods” will create a seamless integration of a variety of single-family home layouts and exterior styles. Neighborhood 1 is designed around three floorplans and three styles each, incorporating a contemporary take on the surrounding traditional styles in the existing 225
neighborhood. The similar palette of materials provides a cohesive thread throughout with the use of lap siding, brick, stone, and stucco finishes. The styles transition to a more traditional interpretation within Neighborhood 2.

Three distinct styles are proposed within four floorplans, with the introduction of a variety of roof tile types and window forms, board and batten siding, and brick veneers. Within both neighborhoods, a range of color schemes, architectural front doors and garage doors, and lighting will add additional richness to the street scene.

d) The development of a harmonious, integrated project in accordance with a precise development plan justifies exceptions, if such are required, to the normal requirements of this article.

Basis for Finding: The development is a harmonious integrated project, with homes of varying sizes and styles unified by styles, color, and materials. The preservation of the hillsides justifies exceptions to the normal requirements to the extent allowed by Chapter 12.116 of the San Bruno Municipal Code. The Residential Project would maintain large amounts of open space. As the minimum lot sizes in the R-1 District are 5,000 SF for interior lots and 6,000 SF for corner lots, the total lot area + open space required for the project to satisfy the PUP requirement is approximately 18.6 Acres. 20.99 acres (50%) of the site will be preserved as open space including 19.15 acres that will be publicly accessible.

3. With respect to the Architectural Review Permit, the City Council hereby finds:

a) The proposed buildings, site plan, and landscaping are in substantial conformance with the goals, policies, and objective development standards of the zoning code, General Plan, and applicable specific plans.

Basis for Finding: The Residential Project includes seven four-bedroom floor plans in two neighborhoods with distinctive architecture and varying lot sizes.

Each single-family home would be set back 15’-0” from the street and have a front yard that is landscaped with drought-tolerant trees and plants, and automatic irrigation. A decorative low fence and enhanced plantings will be included on lots across from the proposed head-in parking areas along Courtland Drive.

The design of proposed single-family dwellings conforms to the basic design principles of the residential design guidelines. Each building will be 28’-0” in height or less, in compliance with the height limit for the district. Average lot coverage would be 44%, which is consistent with lot coverage requirements for the R-1 District. Each home will have a driveway that is 20’-0” in depth as required by Code.

226
The two proposed “neighborhoods” will create a seamless integration of a variety of single-family home layouts and exterior styles. Neighborhood 1 is designed around three floorplans and three styles each, incorporating a contemporary take on the surrounding traditional styles in the existing neighborhood. The similar palette of materials provides a cohesive thread throughout with the use of lap siding, brick, stone, and stucco finishes. The styles transition to a more traditional interpretation within Neighborhood 2.

With respect to the General Plan, the project would implement policies LUD-1 and LUD-5 by redeveloping a former school site with single-family housing and furthering small lot single-family development.

b) The site for the proposed development is adequate in size and shape to accommodate proposed building site plan and landscaping.

Basis for Finding: The Residential Project will develop the 40.2-acre Project Site with 155 new two-story detached single-family homes that are clustered to permanently preserve 12.24 acres of privately owned publicly accessible open space hillsides. The resulting site density is 3.86 dwelling units per acre, which is below the 8.0 dwellings per acre permitted within a low-density residential land-use designation.

The design of the building site plan, landscaping, and streetscape, including street trees, lighting, and street furnishings, is consistent with the character of the surrounding area, and would not create an adverse visual impact on the surrounding area.

c) The development will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare.

Basis for Finding: The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) includes mitigation measures regarding noise and dust to reduce adverse impacts on people residing in adjacent properties. The project would not develop the sloped areas of the site which would be remediated for fire protection purposes. Therefore, the development will not be detrimental to public health and safety. Furthermore, the project advances the General Plan by redeveloping a former school site with a residential subdivision that incorporates development clustering and small lots. Additionally, the project would add 155 homes to the City’s housing stock, including 24 homes that will be sold at below market rates to low- and moderate-income households.

227
d) The proposed development contributes to the creation of an attractive and visually interesting built environment that includes a variety of building styles and designs with well-articulated structures within a unifying context that encourages increased pedestrian activity and promotes compatibility among neighboring land uses within the same or different districts.

Basis for Finding: The Residential Project includes seven four-bedroom floor plans in two neighborhoods with distinctive architecture and varying lot sizes.

The two proposed “neighborhoods” will create a seamless integration of a variety of single-family home layouts and exterior styles. Neighborhood 1 is designed around three floorplans and three styles each, incorporating a contemporary take on the surrounding traditional styles in the existing neighborhood. A similar palette of materials will be used to provide visual cohesiveness throughout the development with the use of lap siding, brick, stone, and stucco exterior finishes.

4. The City Council hereby approves the Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Planned Unit Permit, Architectural Review Permit, Density Bonus request, Tree Removal Permit, and Affordable Housing Plan subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit A.

5. All of the approvals for the Residential Project shall not become operative until the effective date of the City-initiated General Plan and Zoning Map amendments.

to address the City’s goal of maintaining playing fields on the site, Applicant proposes to dedicate the Recreational Area to the City of San Bruno for the development of soccer and playing fields for public recreational uses (the “Recreational Project”, and together with the Residential Project, the “Project”); and WHEREAS, Pur
suant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. ("CEQA") and its implementing Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, section 15000 et seq. ("CEQA Guidelines"), on April 10, 2023, the City published a Notice of Preparation ("NOP") soliciting comments from relevant agencies and the public regarding potential topics to be addressed by environmental review of the Crestmoor, 300 Piedmont Avenue Project (consisting of both the Residential Project and the DocuSign Envelope ID: B9EE57EC-469D-4997-A70C-4E5F699700FA ATTACHMENT 7
251
Open Space Project), starting a scoping period that ended on May 11, 2023 and included a public comment meeting on April 18, 2023. The scoping period resulted in comments from interested agencies and organizations, which were considered by the City in conducting its environmental review; and

WHEREAS, a Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to properties within a 1,000-foot radius of the Property and to other parties on April 26, 2024, and duly published in the San Mateo Daily Journal on April 27, 2024, providing notice of the Planning Commission’s May 7, 2024 public hearing regarding the EIR, and the Project approvals (the “Project Approvals”); and

WHEREAS, on May 7, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the EIR, SOC, MMRP, and Project Approvals for the Project, where the public was able to participate and comment, and on said date the public hearing was opened, held and closed.

BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of San Bruno hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the statements, facts and findings in the document entitled “Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations for the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project” attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference (the “CEQA Findings”), and makes the following additional Findings, all pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines for the Project Approvals.

1. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR, and written and oral comments regarding environmental effects, prior to DocuSign Envelope ID: B9EE57EC-469D-4997-A70C-4E5F699700FA 252
acting on the Project Approvals. Each of the following Commission findings is supported by and elaborated in the attached CEQA Findings.

2. Based on all written and oral evidence and testimony in the record, the EIR complies with the requirements of CEQA and adequately identifies and considers all potential significant environmental effects of the Project and reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis.

3. The EIR identified certain environmental effects of the Project that may remain significant and unavoidable despite implementation of the recommended mitigation measures. However, certain economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations and public benefits of the Project outweigh these significant unavoidable effects and justify and support accepting those effects and approving the Project, as described in the SOC included in the CEQA Findings.

4. The Planning Commission has considered additional mitigation measures that might meet the basic project objectives and reduce or avoid such significant impacts, and the Commission has determined that they are either not available or not feasible. The EIR evaluated alternatives to the Project that might reduce or avoid such significant impacts, which the Planning Commission has considered. The Planning Commission has determined that there are no feasible alternatives that might reduce or avoid such significant impacts that accomplish all or most of the objectives for the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project, and the 300 Piedmont Avenue Project itself is the best alternative that can be feasibly implemented taking into consideration the relevant economic, legal, social, technological and other reasons and public benefits of the Project.

6. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council (a) adopt and make the CEQA Findings and certify the EIR as legally adequate under CEQA as to each and all of the Project Approvals, (b) determine that identified considerations and public benefits outweigh significant unavoidable adverse environmental effects and that mitigation measures and alternatives that are consistent with the Project objectives and might reduce or avoid such effects are not feasible, and adopt the SOC to support its approval of each of the Project Approvals, and (c) adopt the MMRP and incorporate its provisions as conditions of approval for the Project Approvals to the extent appropriate.
