WHEREAS, this City Council has heard and considered the testimony presented to it at the public hearing, and has further considered written mat erials submitted on behalf of the project applicant, City staff, and other interested parties;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JOSE THAT:

After considering evidence presented at the public hearing, the City Council finds that the following are the relevant facts and findings regarding this proposed project:

1. Site Description and Surrounding Uses. The subject 19.70- gross acre site of a single lot located on the southeast corner of East Brokaw Road and Junction Avenue.

The existing approximately 213,626-square foot single-story commercial building was previously occupied by Fry’s Electronics. Based on the Historic Resource Assessment, prepared by Treanor HL on August 4, 2021, the existing building, constructed in 1969, is not individually eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), California Register of Historic Places (CRHP) or as a San Jose City Landmark . The site is bordered by an industrial park across East Brokaw Road Street to the north, a truck sales center and Interstate 880 to the east, a home décor store and self-storage facility to the south, and a tire shop and mix of light industrial uses across Junction Road to the west. The existing building onsite is proposed to be demolished.

2. Project Description. The project consists of the phased construction of seven office buildings totaling approximately 1,924,110 square feet and two parking structures totaling approximately 1,647,920 square feet. All seven office buildings are 8 stories with maximum heights of 120 feet (to top of roof). Buildings 1A, 1B, and 2 are located at the northwest corner of the site, nearest the intersection of East Brokaw Road and Junction Road. Buildings 3A and 3B are located at the eastern portion of the site, with Building 3A being located directly along East Brokaw Road. Buildings 4A and 4B and the second parking garage are l ocated within the southeastern portion of the site.

Parking Garage 1 is located at the western end of the site, south of Buildings 1A and 1B. As shown on the site plan (Figure 1), The office buildings are grouped around large open plazas
Private streets, including sidewalks and crosswalks, would be constructed for vehicles to access the interior portions of the site. The project also incorporates a series of paseos and plaza areas for pedestrians to access the site from both the street and internally. Vehicle access is provided from a signaled intersection at the center of the site along East Brokaw Road, a right -in/right-out driveway along East Brokaw Road, and two driveways along Junction Road. Pedestrian and bicyclist access is provided from the sidewalks along East Brokaw Road, Junction Road, and the newly constructed private streets within the site.

Construction of the project would occur in four phases, with each phase anticipated to last 23 months, for a combine duration of 92 months. Temporary parking for the early building phases would be provided via a new surface parking lot located in the northwest corner of the site and the existing surface parking lot located in the southeast corner of the site. Phase One consists of the demolition of the existing Fry’s Electronics building, the construction of a temporary parking lot in the northwest corner of the site, preparation of the site for future construction phases, and the construction of Building 1A and 1B. All off -site improvements, including str eet lights, are to be constructed during Phase One. Phase Two consists of the construction of Building 3A and 3B, and Garages 1A and 1B. Phase Three consists of the construction of Garage 2A, and the removal of the majority of the surface parking lot in the southeast corner of the site, with 29 surface parking stalls remaining. Phase Four consists of the construction of Buildings 4A and 4B, Garage 2B, and complete installation of all site amenities and landscaping of the project site. See Figure 3 below for a diagram of the project phasing plan.

To facilitate the potential future financing and sale of portions of the project, a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map is included with the application to allow the subdivision of one parcel into the four parcels. As indicated on the face of the Vesting Tentative Map, the subdivision may be phased. As conditioned in this Vesting Tentative Map Resolution (File No. T21-005) and the associated Site Development Permit Resolution (File No. H21-005), no Final Map shall be ap proved until a construction agreement is executed with the Department of Public Works that guarantees the completion of the associated public improvements. This agreement includes privately engineered plans, bonds, insurance, a completion deposit, and engi neering and inspection fees. As conditioned in this Vesting Tentative Map Resolution , all public improvements are to be constructed during Phase One of the project. Additionally, a common interest owner’s association would be established for the maintenanc e of all common areas including, but not limited to, private streets, pedestrian walkways, easements, landscaping, and landscaping in the public right -of-way that is not already in a maintenance district.

3. General Plan Conformance. The project site has an Envision San José 2040 General Plan land use designation of Combined Industrial/Commercial. This category allows a significant amount of flexibility for the development of a varied mixture of compatible commercial and industrial uses. Properties with this designation are intended for commercial, office, or industrial developments or a compatible mix of these uses. This designation occurs in areas where the existing development pattern exhibits a mix of commercial and industrial land uses or in areas on the boundary between commercial and industrial uses. Development intensity can vary significantly in this designation based on the nature of specific uses likely to occur in a particular area. In order to maintain an industrial character, small, suburban strip centers are discouraged in this designation, although larger big-box type developments may be allowed because they mix elements of retail commercial and warehouse forms and uses.

DRAFT – Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.

Analysis: The redevelopment of the site is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Combined Industrial/Commercial, as the project would provide a high- intensity commercial office development within a growth area (North San Jose Area Development Policy). The project would provide a large amount of office space in a convenient location near a major freeway (Interstate 880). The project would facilitate the intensification of employment activities and increase the City’s tax base. Parking would be clustered in two parking structures to minimize the visual impact of surface parking lots and be integrated into the overall project design. To facilitate the construction of the offices, the project is conditioned to construct public improvements that would facilitate bicycle and pedestrian access to the site. Public imp rovements include modifications to the East Brokaw Road/Junction Avenue intersection, construction of a 12- foot-wide sidewalk along East Brokaw Road, a 10- foot-wide sidewalk along Junction Avenue, and the construction of Class IV bike lanes along both project frontages. The project includes the removal of 274 trees (210 ordinance - size, 64 non- ordinance-size). Based on the landscaping plan provided, the project includes the planting of 508 (24 -inch box) trees on site, exceeding the mitigation requirement.

4. Zoning Ordinance Consistency
Land Use
The subject site is located in the CIC Combined Industrial/Commercial Zoning District.

Pursuant to Section 20.50.100, Table 20-110 of the Zoning Ordinance, office uses are permitted uses in the CIC Combined Industrial/Commercial Zoning District. As the project consists of the construction of new buildings and structures, a Site Development Permit, pursuant to Section 20.100.630 of the Zoning Code.

the project is required to provide 409 bicycle parking spaces. A total of 477 bicycle parking spaces are provided, exceeding the requirement.

5. Environmental Review.

The City of San José, as the lead agency for the proposed project, prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2021060414 (DEIR), which was circulated for public review and comment from May 11, 2022 through June 24, 2022. A First Amendment to the DEIR was prepared that provided responses to public comments submitted during the public circulation period and revisions to the text of the DEIR. The First Amendment together with the DEIR and errata constitute the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the proposed project.

The EIR identified potential environmental impacts to Biological Resources, Cultural Resources Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources and concluded that these impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels with the implementation of the identified mitigation measures. Standard Permit Conditions are also required to ensure no impacts occur during construction and operation of the project. These Standard Permit Conditions include best m anagement practices for construction related air quality impacts, protection of nesting migratory birds, compliance with the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan, protection of unknown subsurface cultural resources and human remains, compliance with the California Building Code for seismic safety of the proposed building, erosion control during construction activities, conformance with state and local laws for appropriate handling of any asbestos - containing materials (ACMs) and/or lead- based paint (LBP) material s during construction, and water quality impacts during construction.

Additionally, the EIR concluded that implementation of the proposed project would result in a project and cumulative significant unavoidable vehicle miles traveled (VMT) impact, even with the implementation of the identified Mitigation Measures MM TRN-1.1 through

1.3. Specifically, the project, after mitigation, would result in 12.30 VMT per employee which would exceed the City’s threshold of 12.21 VMT per employee. The EIR determined there would be no significant and unavoidable impacts due to implementation of the project.

Alternatives to the Proposed Project
In accordance with CEQA, the EIR identified the following alternatives to the proposed project that could reduce or eliminate these impacts. Four alternatives were considered but rejected from further analysis. Three alternatives to the proposed project were analyzed and include:

Alternative 1 No Project – No Development Alternative
The CEQA Guidelines [§15126(d)4] require that an EIR specifically discuss a “No Project” alternative, which shall address both “the existing conditions, as well as what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the project is not approved, based on current plans and consistent with available infrastructure and NVF:VMT:DJF

community services.” This Alternative would retain the existing land uses on‐site as is.

Under this alternative, it was assumed the 293,906-square feet of existing development would be re-occupied by a retail or office use similar to the historic use of the site. Since the alternative would not result in a change to existing conditions the project would avoid the project’s impacts and no environmental impacts would occur. However, none of the project objectives would be achieved.

Alternative 2 - No Project, Redevelopment Alternative
This alternative considers if the proposed project were not approved, the unoccupied and underutilized site may be redeveloped with an alternative development proposal consistent with the development permitted under the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Based on this height limitation and other design restrictions, such as setbacks, architectural requirements, etc., developing up to the maxi mum allowable floor area ratio (FAR) is not achievable at the project site. Furthermore, the proposed office towers (120 feet in height) and structured parking garages (118 feet in height) are already constructed to the maximum height allowed under the City’s Municipal Code.

As such, it is l ikely that under the No Project, Redevelopment Alternative, the project site would be developed with a similar office development to what is already being proposed. A development with a greater FAR is possible under this alternative; however, this would require moving the proposed structured parking garages below ground in order to meet parking requirements established in the City’s Municipal Code, likely making this option not environmentally superior due to the increased construction activity and increase d operational impacts from more employees and vehicles.

Therefore, for the purpose of this analysis, the No Project, Redevelopment Alternative is assumed to be comparable in size to the proposed project. The No Project, Redevelopment Alternative would meet all the project objective; however, it would likely have similar environmental impacts to the proposed project. The redevelopment would impact nesting birds as trees would be removed for the redevelopment, cultural and tribal cultural resources as the project would continue to potentially impact undiscovered archaeological resources, the hazardous materials impact would remain since the alternative would continue to propose ground disturbing activities on potentially contaminated soils, the construction of the alternative would likely result in similar construction noise impacts and the alternative would not reduce the VMT impact.

Alternative 3 Industrial Development Alternative
Pursuant to City Council Policy 5- 1 and the City’s 2018 Transportation Analys is Handbook, industrial developments located within a Mitigable VMT Area would have a significant but mitigable VMT impact. Under this alternative, the project site would be developed with an industrial development of approximately 300,400 square feet (equivalent to a FAR of 0.4, the maximum allowed by the NSJADP outside of the North First Street Corridor). Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 20.50.010, allowable uses under this alternative would range from industrial park (manufacturing, assembly, testing, and offices) to light industrial (warehousing, wholesaling, and light NVF:VMT:DJF

manufacturing). This alternative assumes that as required by the City’s Private Sector Green Building Policy, any industrial development that occurs under this alternative would be certi fied Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver. The alternative would have a lesser impact on VMT since the project is located within a mitigation VMT area for industrial uses. However, the alternative would still have similar bird nesting, cult ural and tribal cultural, hazards and hazardous materials, and construction noise impacts. This alternative would not be expected to result in any new significant impacts, and it would avoid the project’s significant and unavoidable VMT impact.

Environmentally Superior Alternative
Alternative 1 would avoid all project impacts, including the significant and unavoidable impact and therefore, is considered to be environmentally superior. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(2), when the No Project A lternative is the environmentally superior alternative, the EIR shall identify another environmentally superior alternative. Therefore, the next environmentally superior alternative would be Alternative 3. While the alternative would have similar bird nesting, cultural and tribal cultural, hazards and hazardous materials, and construction noise impacts; the alternative would result in a significant but mitigable VMT impact, whereas the project would result in a significant and unavoidable impact.

DEIR Circulation Comments
Five comments were received during public circulation from regional and local agencies including one from the City of Santa Clara. The comments identified concerns with the hazards and hazardous materials analysis, implementation of the North San José Area Development Plan and transportation analysis, and minor edits to the hydrology discussion.

DEIR Recirculation Unnecessary
Staff responded to the comments and questions in the First Amendment and none of the comments raised represent new significant information that would warrant recirculation of the Draft EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(a). The recirculation of an EIR is required when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the Draft EIR for public review but before certification. “Information” can include changes in the project or environmental setting as well as additional data or other information. New information added to a Draft EIR is not “significant” unless the Draft EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of meaningful opportunity to comment on a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5).

The First Amendment was posted on the City’s website on November 29, 2022 and all commenters were notified via email of the document’s availability. All commenters were notified of its availability by email notification. The Draft Environmental Impact Report NVF:VMT:DJF

Statement of Overriding Considerations
The project requires a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the significant unavoidable VMT impacts of the project. The following benefits of the project would outweigh the identified VMT impacts:
• Develop approximately 6,404 jobs in the North San José Area: The project would increase the number of employees that would support existing and proposed commercial and retail uses in the North San José area. • Provide Multi-modal and Public Improvements: The development’s design incorporates paseos and plazas that would enhance circulation through the site and sidewalk improvements to enhance the surrounding neighborhood. Public improvements include modifications to the East Brokaw Road/Junction Avenue intersection, bust stop improvements, the construction of a 12 -foot-wide sidewalk along East Brokaw Road, a 10 -foot-wide sidewalk along Junction Avenue, and the construction of Class IV bike lanes along both proje ct frontages. The project would plant 508 (24-inch box) trees on site, exceeding the replacement requirement for the development.

The project would contribute approximately $3,320,896 towards the US - 101/Oakland/Mabury Transportation Development Policy to upgrade the US- 101/Oakland Interchange and construct the US-101/Mabury interchange. The project would also contribute fees toward the North San Jose Area Development Policy based on its new square footage.
• Increase Economic Development: The Project will ad vance the goals of the Envision San José 2040 General Plan by adding approximately 1.9 million square feet of office space in the North San José area. • Further Envision San José 2040 General Plan Strategies, Goals, and Policies:
• Major Strategy #4 – Innovation/Regional Employment Center and Land Use Policy LU-1.1: The project will develop the North San José site with 1.9 million square feet of office space to support San José’s growth as center of innovation and regional employment. The high -quality development will include seven new office buildings connected through a series of roadways, walkways, and paseos; growing San José’s role as an employment center. The increase in commercial square footage will support the increase in the City’s jobs-to-employed resident ratio. • Land Use and Employment Policy IE -1.5: The redevelopment of the site would provide a high -intensity commercial office development NVF:VMT:DJF

within a growth area (North San Jose Area Development Policy) and located near existing transportation infrastructures, a major freeway (Interstate 880). The project would facilitate the intensification of employment activities and increase the City’s tax base.

The City Council weighed each of the above benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks and adverse environmental effects identified in the EIR and determined that those benefits outweighed the risks and adverse environmental effects of the Project and, therefore, further determined that those risks and adverse environmental effects were acceptable and overridden.

6. City Council Policy 6 -30: Public Outreach Policy for Pending Land Use Development Proposals
Staff followed Council Policy 6-30: Public Outreach Policy in order to inform the public of the proposed project. A formally noticed Community Meeting with the Environmental Scoping was held on Monday June 28, 2021 to introduce the proposed project to the community. An on-site sign was posted on the project frontage on May 4, 2021. A notice of the public hearing was distributed to the owners and tenants of all properties located within 1,000 feet of the project site and posted on the City website. The staff report is also posted on the City’s website. Staff has also been available to respond to questions from the public.

7. Vesting Tentative Map Findings: In accordance with Section 66474 of the Government Code of the State of California, the City Council of the City of San José, in consideration of the proposed subdivision shown on the Vesting Tentative Map with the imposed conditions, shall deny approval of a Vesting Tentative Map, if it makes any of the following findings.

1. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans as specified in Section 65451.

2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans.

3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.

4. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.

7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.

Analysis: To facilitate the potential future financing and sale of portions of the project, a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map is included with the application to allow the subdivision of one existing parcel into four parcels. As indicated on the face of the Vesting Tentative Map, the subdivision may be phased. As conditioned in this Vesting Tentative Map Resolution and associated Site Development Permit Resolution (File No. H21-005), no Final Map shall be approved until a construction agreement is executed with the Department of Public Works that guarantees the completion of the associated public improvements. This agreement includes privately engineered plans, bonds, insurance, a completion deposit, and engineering and inspection fees. As conditioned in this Vesting Tentative Map Permit, all public improvements are to be constructed during Phase One of the project. Additionally, a maintenance district would be established for the maintenance of all common areas including, but not limited to, private streets, pedestrian walkways, easements, landscaping, and landscaping in the public right- of-way that is not already in a maintenance district.

As discussed above, the project is consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and land use designation. The project site is physically suitable for the proposed buildings and the proposed residential density consistent with the allowable density and FAR of the Combined Industrial/Commercial land use designation. The office uses proposed are all permitted uses of the CIC Combined Industrial/Commercial Zoning District. The proposed lot exceeds the minimum required lot size of 6,000 square feet. The subject site is l ocated within North San Jose in an already developed area. Therefore, the project and associated improvements would not cause environmental damage or substantially injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

Please see the discussion on the California Environmental Quality Act above for additional information.

The Vesting Tentative Map provides all necessary easements including private ingress and egress, private sanitary sewer, private storm drainage, private surface drainage release, ingress, egress, emergency access, and access to and operation and maintenance for stormwater treatment in accordance with Part 1 of Chapter 20.110 of Title 20 of the San José Municipal Code. The easements are provided across Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the benefit of Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, as shown on the Vesting Tentative Map.

environmental review to be adequate. Additionally, the City Council may approve the project if the City Council does not make any of the findings for denial in San José Municipal Code Section 19.12.220. Section 19.12.130 incorporates the findings for denial in Section 66474 of the Government Code specified in Findings Section 1 herein.

Analysis: As descri bed above, based on review of the proposed subdivision, the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement of the City of San José is recommending approval of the Vesting Tentative Map. The map and the development’s design are consistent with the San José Envision 2040 General Plan designation of Combined Industrial/Commercial and the CIC Zoning District, as discussed above. The site is physically suitable for the proposed development in that the proposed density and FAR and lot sizes are in conformanc e with the Combined Industrial/Commercial land use designation. The site is not located within a designated Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100- year flood plan. The project site, as well as the surrounding area, are currently developed with structures and do not provide a natural habitat for either fish or wildlife. The subdivision and subsequent improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems.

In accordance with the findings set forth above, a Vesting Tentative Map to use the subject property for said purpose specified above and subject to each and all of the conditions hereinafter set forth is hereby granted. This City Council expressly declares that it would not have granted this Vesting Tentative Map except upon and subject to each and all of said conditions, each and all of which conditions shall run with the land and be binding upon the owner and all subsequent owners of the subject property, and all persons who use the subject property for the use conditionally permitted hereby.
