indicated no new or additional information that would indicate further governmental oversight was necessary. Accordingly, the listing should be considered historical, because there are no continuing or ongoing concerns in regard to the issues that gave rise to the initial Cortese listing, and because written regulatory closure was issued in regard to the environmental condition of the Subject Site.

2. Do site soil and groundwater conditions pose a risk to human health and the environment, including construction workers and nearby residences, from proposed construction activity that would excavate to a depth of 25 below grade and off-haul 25,828 CY of soil? Based on RMD’s 2021 subsurface investigation data, soil and groundwater do not pose a significant risk to human health and the environment in relation to proposed construction activities, including with respect to construction workers and in regard to nearby residential use. In RMD’s July 2021 report, soil and groundwater data collected were compared to San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFBRWQCB) Tier 1 Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs). Tier 1 ESLs are the most conservative screening levels considering all exposure pathways and exposure point scenarios, which include construction workers and residential receptors. Evaluation of soil and groundwater data against screening levels is summarized as follows:

Soil: As documented in the Report, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the gasoline range (TPHg) and in the diesel range (TPHd), along with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals were reported at concentrations in soil at levels that were all below Tier 1 ESLs or naturally-occurring regional background levels1. Furthermore, none of the reported concentrations exceeded threshold concentrations that would indicate the soil would be classified as a hazardous waste, including for purposes of off-site disposal.

In conclusion, soil conditions at the Subject Site do not pose a significant risk to human health or to the environment. That being said, a Construction Site Management Plan (SMP) will be prepared for the Subject Site that will include contingency measures and protocol in the event that a localized area of contamination or subsurface feature is unearthed during excavation activities. Further details are described below in Item 3. 1 Arsenic and vanadium were reported above Tier 1 ESLs however were less than the concentration of naturally occurring levels in bay area soil. Because soil throughout the State of California has naturallyoccurring metals levels above these ESLs, governmental agencies in California use the naturally-occurring regional background levels – as opposed to the ESLs – as the applicable standard for these metals. 887 of 1252

Groundwater: As documented in the Report, total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPHd) and chloroform were the only two constituents with concentrations reported above Tier 1 ESLs.
• Chloroform: The maximum concentration of chloroform reported is 3.67 µg/L compared to the Tier 1 ESL of 0.81 µg/L. The Tier 1 ESL is based on a groundwater concentration that is protective of the vapor intrusion into indoor air exposure pathway. This exposure pathway is not a complete exposure pathway for the construction workers that will be performing work outdoors or nearby residents that are located off-site. Although there is a potential for VOCs (which includes chloroform) to volatilize into outdoor air during construction activities, inhalation of VOCs in outdoor air is considered negligible for on-site and off-site receptors due to complete and virtually immediate dispersion in ambient air.

The low-level chloroform concentration is likely attributed to potable water (as a result of chlorination of organic matter present in raw water supplies). The maximum concentration of chloroform reported in groundwater is well below the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 80 µg/L. Considering that groundwater will not be used for potable water purposes, the maximum concentration of chloroform is well below the ESLs based on gross contamination and odor nuisance levels for non-drinking water of 50,000 µg/L and 24,000 µg/L, respectively. Table 1 provides values of ESLs for chloroform for non-drinking water exposure.
• TPHd: The maximum concentration of TPHd reported is 353 µg/L compared to the Tier 1 ESL of 100 µg/L. The Tier 1 ESL is based on odor nuisance levels for drinking water, and this standard is not relevant for project construction or operation because the groundwater will not be used for potable water purposes.

Table 1 provides values of ESLs for TPHd for non-drinking water exposure. As shown, the lowest ESL is 2,500 µg/L which is based on SFBRWQCB’s gross contamination non-drinking water screening level for TPHd. The reported value of 353 µg/L beneath the Site is an order of magnitude below the ESL and not considered a significant risk.

In conclusion, groundwater conditions do not represent a concern or pose any significant risk to human health or the environment.

3. Is regulatory oversight of construction activity required and what measures, if any, are needed during construction to protect workers and nearby residents from exposure to any site contamination likely to be released during construction? As confirmed by Mr. Jacob Madden of San Mateo County Groundwater Protection Program, the Subject Site is not a significant concern with regard to residual contamination. However, the County may require a Construction Soil Management Plan (SMP), as yet to be discussed and determined during the County’s review of the project.

The SMP would be used as a guidance document for handling impacted soil and groundwater, if encountered, during construction activities. Under the SMP, notification to San Mateo County will be required in the event that an unanticipated condition is encountered during site grading (e.g., a localized area of contamination or an underground structure).

The SMP would identify required soil and groundwater management measures typical of construction projects throughout this County and the State of California. These would include standard dust control measures (e.g., keeping soil moist during excavation and loading) and compliance with the City of San Mateo’s municipal stormwater permit and related discharge permits during dewatering activities. The need for groundwater treatment prior to discharge will be determined during the required Application for Groundwater Waste Discharge Permit through the City of San Mateo Public Works Department.

The requirements that will be specified in the SMP are standard practice for the construction industry. No augmented mitigation measures beyond standard construction standards and permit requirements are needed based on known conditions to in order protect construction workers or the residents during project construction. 889 of 1252

Re: Environmental Document Review
200-222 East 4th Avenue
San Mateo, California
Dear Mr. Tutino:

Per your request, Cornerstone Earth Group, Inc. (Cornerstone) is pleased to present this letter summarizing our review of the provided environmental reports for 200-222 East 4th Avenue in San Mateo, California (Site). This letter was prepared for David J. Powers & Associates (Powers) in accordance with our October 19, 2022 agreement (Agreement).

Project Background
We understand that Powers is providing California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) support associated with the planned redevelopment of the Site. The approximately 1.1-acre Site consists of Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 034-176-090, 034-176-080, 034-176-070, and 034-176-050 and currently is developed with an approximately 65,608 square-foot building (two stories with a mezzanine – first floor approximately 35,400 square feet) with one level of below grade parking (approximately 47,365 square feet).

Redevelopment plans reportedly consist of demolition of the existing structure and construction of a five-story, mixed use (office, residential and retail) building with two levels of below-grade parking.

Site History and Prior Studies
Based on the information reviewed, the Site was developed by the late 1800s with several residences and associated outbuildings. By 1927, a gasoline service station was present on the north corner of the Site (East 4th Avenue and South B Street). By 1950, two auto repair/gasoline service stations were present on-Site, one on the north corner and one on the east corner (South B Street and East 5th Avenue). The Levy Brothers leased the Site in 1951, built a department store on the western portion of the Site, and operated the business until 1985. By 1969, the service station on the east corner of the Site was replaced by a parking lot. By 1985, the service station in the north corner of the Site was replaced by a paved parking lot. The existing building was completed in 1997 and has since been occupied by a grocery store and restaurant.

Underground storage tanks (USTs) associated with the former gasoline service station at the north corner of the Site were removed in 1988. Soil sampling was conducted and approximately 335 tons of soil associated with UST removal activities were reported as “excavated”.

In 1993, one hydraulic lift associated with the former gasoline service station at the east corner of the Site was removed. Petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in soil and approximately 20 cubic yards of soil were reported as “removed”.

Soil and groundwater quality studies subsequently were performed at the Site in 1994 by Environmental Geotechnical Consultants (EGC) and in 1995 by EKI. In general, neither of these studies identified significant impacts to soil or groundwater at the Site. The study by EKI included the collection of soil samples from 17 borings and the collection of groundwater samples from eight borings. Low concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPHd) were detected in a few of the soil and groundwater samples; none of the detected concentrations exceed the current Tier 1 Environmental Screening Level (ESL1 ) for TPHd.

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) were not detected in the soil or groundwater samples. The groundwater samples were additionally analyzed for other chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), none of which were detected.

In 1996, the Levy Brothers Department Store was demolished and construction began on the existing Draeger’s Market building. Construction activities included the excavation of soil for the below grade parking structure, which included excavating the majority of the Site to a depth of approximately 10 feet. Petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil reportedly was encountered on the north potion of the Site during excavation. EKI (1996) stated that soil containing petroleum hydrocarbons appeared to be limited to the upper 6 feet of soil and that soil excavated from the 6 to 10-foot depths did not exhibit obvious indications of petroleum hydrocarbons. Analyses of 1 Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs) established by the Water Board (January 2019) are used to screen sites for potential human health concerns where releases of chemicals have occurred. These screening levels are risk-based concentrations derived from standardized equations combining exposure information assumptions with toxicity data. Under most circumstances, the presence of a chemical at concentrations below the corresponding screening level can be assumed not to pose a significant health risk. 893 of 1252

confirmation soil samples did not detect contaminants at concentrations above their respective Tier 1 ESLs. No underground tanks, sumps, or piping infrastructure were encountered during excavation. Several areas of backfill were encountered in the northeast and southeast corners of the Site, presumably associated with the prior removals of the hydraulic lift and USTs (EKI, 1996).

County of San Mateo, Environmental Health Services Division issued a closure letter in 1997 stating that the Site investigation for the impacted surface soils from past operations at the Site is complete and that no further action related to the surface soils is required.

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment conducted by Geosyntec in 2019 identified two offSite drycleaning facilities that were considered to have a potential to impact groundwater and/or soil vapor at the Site. These drycleaning facilities were identified by Geosyntec as Recognized Environmental Conditions2
. The former on-Site gasoline station operations were identified by Geosyntec as a Historical Recognized Environmental Condition3 .

In 2021, soil samples were collected from 11 borings advanced by RMD to depths between approximately 14 and 43 feet. Groundwater samples also were collected from two borings.

With regards to soil vapor, RMD (2021) stated that they did not propose collecting soil vapor samples considering 1) the entire site will be excavated for the construction of a 2-level parking garage and 2) it is presumed that the parking garage will be installed with measures to mitigate vapor intrusion concerns (if present), including a waterproof membrane and fresh air intake/circulation.

Composite4 soil samples, each comprised of all samples collected from their respective borings, were analyzed for gasoline, diesel and oil range petroleum hydrocarbons, VOCs and 17 metals. The number of soil sample aliquots within each composite ranged from 6 to 20. The two groundwater grab samples were analyzed for gasoline, diesel and oil range petroleum hydrocarbons, and VOCs.

None of the detected analytes in the composite soil samples exceeded their respective Tier 1 ESL or, for metals, typical natural background levels. RMD (2021) stated that shallow soil to be exported for off-Site disposal during Site grading is generally expected to meet acceptable criteria for non-hazardous waste characterization.

In groundwater, TPHd was detected at up to 353 micrograms per liter (µg/L), which exceeds the Tier 1 ESL of 100 µg/L. The Tier 1 ESL for TPHd is based on potential odor/nuisance concerns in drinking water. Shallow groundwater at the Site, however, is not used as a drinking water source. Chloroform also was detected in groundwater at up to 3.67 µg/L. The Tier 1 ESL for chloroform in groundwater (based on potential vapor intrusion) is 0.81 µg/L. 2 As defined by ASTM E1527-21, the term Recognized Environmental Condition means 1) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release to the environment; 2) the likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release or likely release to the environment; or 3) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.
3 A previous release of hazardous substances or petroleum products affecting the Site that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory agency and meeting unrestricted use criteria established by the applicable regulatory agency without subjecting the Site to any controls.

RMD concluded that the concentration of chloroform reported is relatively low and is likely attributed to potable water (as a result of chlorination of organic matter present in raw water supplies) and is not expected to drive further action.

Additionally, RMD (2021) stated that a regulatory agency may require Lane to delineate or verify the source of the TPHd reported in groundwater, but, in their opinion, active remediation of TPHd in groundwater would not be required given the absence of benzene, naphthalene, or other VOCs in groundwater. RMD (2021) also noted that 1) a soil and groundwater management plan would be required by a regulatory agency during property redevelopment, and 2) in the event that dewatering occurs during property redevelopment, carbon treatment of groundwater would likely be required due to the presence of TPHd prior to discharge to the storm or sanitary sewer drains.

In a subsequent letter (RMD, 2022a), RMD stated that their statement that “a soil and groundwater management plan would be required by a regulatory agency during property development” would only apply for properties that actually have open case files, and would not apply to a site such as the subject Site where there is no need for an open regulatory case file.

However, as a construction industry standard, it is a common best management practice (BMP) for redevelopment of former commercial sites to prepare soil and groundwater management plans. The statement that additional investigation may be required by a regulatory agency is hypothetical and conservative and was not intended to imply that a case opening is warranted or likely. RMD (2022a) also noted that the need for treatment of groundwater associated with dewatering activities during construction would be determined during the required Application for Groundwater Waste Discharge Permit through the City of San Mateo Public Works Department.

In their October 14, 2022 letter, RMD provided their opinion that based on the 2021 subsurface investigation data, soil and groundwater do not pose a significant risk to human health and the environment in relation to proposed construction activities, including with respect to construction workers and in regard to nearby residential use. RMD additionally indicated that a Construction Site Management Plan (SMP) will be prepared for the Site that will be used as a guidance document for handling impacted soil and groundwater, if encountered, during construction activities.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the information obtained during this study, Cornerstone concludes and recommends the following:
 Based on the prior sampling, the Site generally does not appear to have been significantly impacted by past Site occupants or by VOC releases from nearby off-Site drycleaning facilities.

The planned use appears compatible with the known on-Site environmental conditions.  As is common during development of properties with a commercial or industrial history, the preparation of a Site Management Plan (SMP) is recommended to establish appropriate management practices for handling impacted soil or groundwater that may be encountered during construction activities. A Health and Safety Plan (HSP) also should be prepared as required by California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) to establish health and safety protocols for construction personnel working at the Site.  If groundwater dewatering activities will be conducted during the planned redevelopment, the need for treatment of groundwater should be determined during the required discharge permitting process. If discharge to the sanitary sewer system is anticipated, a Groundwater 895 of 1252

Waste Discharge Permit should be obtained from the City of San Mateo Public Works Department. If discharge to the storm sewer system is anticipated, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit should be obtained.  Based on prior studies by EGC (1994), EKI (1995) and RMD (2021), residual contaminant concentrations in Site soil are not expected to exceed their respective ESLs. Note, however, that the composite soil samples analyzed by RMD contained up to 20 sample aliquots, which is uncommon and not consistent with regulatory guidance.

Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)5 indicates that if samples are composited, they should be from the same soil layer, and that compositing samples for volatile and semi-volatile constituents is not acceptable. The EPA (1995)6 similarly states that compositing is not recommended where volatile compounds are of concern.

The recommended SMP should establish appropriate protocols for profiling of soil to be removed from the Site for off-Site disposal. The profiling protocols should be consistent with regulatory guidance and also meet the requirements of the facility that will be accepting the soil for disposal or reuse.
 We understand that the planned development will include two levels of below grade parking. To reduce the potential for vapor intrusion, we recommend utilizing a dualpurpose waterproofing membrane that provides: 1) required waterproofing protection; 2) chemical degradation protection; and 3) serves as an effective vapor barrier.

Alternatively, soil vapor sampling shall be performed in the building envelop to confirm the presence or absence of VOCs above residential screening levels.

1 INTRODUCTION
A five-story mixed-use project is proposed at 222 East 4th Avenue in the City of San Mateo, California. The proposed project would include approximately 104,722 square feet of office space, 17,658 square feet of retail space, 8,971 square feet of residential space, and two levels of belowgrade parking. Construction of the project would include the demolition of the existing on-site improvements.

This report evaluates the project’s potential to result in significant impacts with respect to applicable California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. The report is divided into three sections: 1) the Setting Section provides a brief description of the fundamentals of environmental noise and groundborne vibration, summarizes applicable regulatory criteria, and discusses ambient noise conditions in the project vicinity; 2) the Plan Consistency Analysis section discusses noise and land use compatibility utilizing policies in the City’s General Plan; and, 3) the Impacts and Mitigation Measures Section describes the significance criteria used to evaluate project impacts, provides a discussion of each project impact, and presents mitigation measures, where necessary, to mitigate project impacts to a less-than-significant level.

SETTING
Fundamentals of Environmental Noise
Noise may be defined as unwanted sound. Noise is usually objectionable because it is disturbing or annoying. The objectionable nature of sound could be caused by its pitch or its loudness. Pitch is the height or depth of a tone or sound, depending on the relative rapidity (frequency) of the vibrations by which it is produced. Higher pitched signals sound louder to humans than sounds with a lower pitch. Loudness is intensity of sound waves combined with the reception characteristics of the ear. Intensity may be compared with the height of an ocean wave in that it is a measure of the amplitude of the sound wave.

In addition to the concepts of pitch and loudness, there are several noise measurement scales which are used to describe noise in a particular location. A decibel (dB) is a unit of measurement which indicates the relative amplitude of a sound. The zero on the decibel scale is based on the lowest sound level that the healthy, unimpaired human ear can detect. Sound levels in decibels are calculated on a logarithmic basis. An increase of 10 decibels represents a ten-fold increase in acoustic energy, while 20 decibels is 100 times more intense, 30 decibels is 1,000 times more intense, etc. There is a relationship between the subjective noisiness or loudness of a sound and its intensity. Each 10 decibel increase in sound level is perceived as approximately a doubling of loudness over a fairly wide range of intensities. Technical terms are defined in Table 1.

There are several methods of characterizing sound. The most common in California is the Aweighted sound level (dBA). This scale gives greater weight to the frequencies of sound to which the human ear is most sensitive. Representative outdoor and indoor noise levels in units of dBA are shown in Table 2. Because sound levels can vary markedly over a short period of time, a method for describing either the average character of the sound or the statistical behavior of the variations must be utilized. Most commonly, environmental sounds are described in terms of an 898 of 1252
2 average level that has the same acoustical energy as the summation of all the time-varying events.

This energy-equivalent sound/noise descriptor is called Leq. The most common averaging period is hourly, but Leq can describe any series of noise events of arbitrary duration.

The scientific instrument used to measure noise is the sound level meter. Sound level meters can accurately measure environmental noise levels to within about plus or minus 1 dBA. Various computer models are used to predict environmental noise levels from sources, such as roadways and airports. The accuracy of the predicted models depends upon the distance the receptor is from the noise source. Close to the noise source, the models are accurate to within about plus or minus 1 to 2 dBA.

Since the sensitivity to noise increases during the evening and at night -- because excessive noise interferes with the ability to sleep -- 24-hour descriptors have been developed that incorporate artificial noise penalties added to quiet-time noise events. The Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) is a measure of the cumulative noise exposure in a community, with a 5 dB penalty added to evening (7:00 pm - 10:00 pm) and a 10 dB addition to nocturnal (10:00 pm - 7:00 am) noise levels. The Day/Night Average Sound Level (DNL or Ldn) is essentially the same as CNEL, with the exception that the evening time period is dropped and all occurrences during this three-hour period are grouped into the daytime period.

Effects of Noise
Sleep and Speech Interference
The thresholds for speech interference indoors are about 45 dBA if the noise is steady and above 55 dBA if the noise is fluctuating. Outdoors the thresholds are about 15 dBA higher. Steady noises of sufficient intensity (above 35 dBA) and fluctuating noise levels above about 45 dBA have been shown to affect sleep. Interior residential standards for multi-family dwellings are set by the State of California at 45 dBA Ldn. Typically, the highest steady traffic noise level during the daytime is about equal to the Ldn and nighttime levels are 10 dBA lower. The standard is designed for sleep and speech protection and most jurisdictions apply the same criterion for all residential uses.

Typical structural attenuation is 12 to 17 dBA with open windows. With closed windows in good condition, the noise attenuation factor is around 20 dBA for an older structure and 25 dBA for a newer dwelling. Sleep and speech interference is therefore possible when exterior noise levels are about 57 to 62 dBA Ldn with open windows and 65 to 70 dBA Ldn if the windows are closed.

Levels of 55 to 60 dBA are common along collector streets and secondary arterials, while 65 to 70 dBA is a typical value for a primary/major arterial. Levels of 75 to 80 dBA are normal noise levels at the first row of development outside a freeway right-of-way. In order to achieve an acceptable interior noise environment, bedrooms facing secondary roadways need to be able to have their windows closed, those facing major roadways and freeways typically need special glass windows. 899 of 1252
3 Annoyance
Attitude surveys are used for measuring the annoyance felt in a community for noises intruding into homes or affecting outdoor activity areas. In these surveys, it was determined that the causes for annoyance include interference with speech, radio and television, house vibrations, and interference with sleep and rest. The Ldn as a measure of noise has been found to provide a valid correlation of noise level and the percentage of people annoyed. People have been asked to judge the annoyance caused by aircraft noise and ground transportation noise. There continues to be disagreement about the relative annoyance of these different sources. When measuring the percentage of the population highly annoyed, the threshold for ground vehicle noise is about 50 dBA Ldn. At a Ldn of about 60 dBA, approximately 12 percent of the population is highly annoyed.

When the Ldn increases to 70 dBA, the percentage of the population highly annoyed increases to about 25 to 30 percent of the population. There is, therefore, an increase of about 2 percent per dBA between a Ldn of 60 to 70 dBA. Between a Ldn of 70 to 80 dBA, each decibel increase increases by about 3 percent the percentage of the population highly annoyed. People appear to respond more adversely to aircraft noise. When the Ldn is 60 dBA, approximately 30 to 35 percent of the population is believed to be highly annoyed. Each decibel increase to 70 dBA adds about 3 percentage points to the number of people highly annoyed.

Decibel, dB A unit describing, the amplitude of sound, equal to 20 times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of the sound measured to the reference pressure. The reference pressure for air is 20 micro Pascals.

Sound Pressure Level Sound pressure is the sound force per unit area, usually expressed in micro Pascals (or 20 micro Newtons per square meter), where 1 Pascal is the pressure resulting from a force of 1 Newton exerted over an area of 1 square meter. The sound pressure level is expressed in decibels as 20 times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio between the pressures exerted by the sound to a reference sound pressure (e. g., 20 micro Pascals). Sound pressure level is the quantity that is directly measured by a sound level meter.

Frequency, Hz The number of complete pressure fluctuations per second above and below atmospheric pressure. Normal human hearing is between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Infrasonic sound are below 20 Hz and Ultrasonic sounds are above 20,000 Hz.

A-Weighted Sound
Level, dBA
The sound pressure level in decibels as measured on a sound level meter using the A-weighting filter network. The A-weighting filter de-emphasizes the very low and very high frequency components of the sound in a manner similar to the frequency response of the human ear and correlates well with subjective reactions to noise.

Equivalent Noise Level,
Leq
The average A-weighted noise level during the measurement period.

Lmax, Lmin
The maximum and minimum A-weighted noise level during the measurement period.

L01, L10, L50, L90
The A-weighted noise levels that are exceeded 1%, 10%, 50%, and 90% of the time during the measurement period.

Day/Night Noise Level,
Ldn or DNL
The average A-weighted noise level during a 24-hour day, obtained after addition of 10 decibels to levels measured in the night between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am.

Community Noise
Equivalent Level,
CNEL
The average A-weighted noise level during a 24-hour day, obtained after addition of 5 decibels in the evening from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and after addition of 10 decibels to sound levels measured in the night between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am.

Ambient Noise Level The composite of noise from all sources near and far. The normal or existing level of environmental noise at a given location.

Intrusive That noise which intrudes over and above the existing ambient noise at a given location. The relative intrusiveness of a sound depends upon its amplitude, duration, frequency, and time of occurrence and tonal or informational content as well as the prevailing ambient noise level.

6 Fundamentals of Groundborne Vibration
Ground vibration consists of rapidly fluctuating motions or waves with an average motion of zero.

Several different methods are typically used to quantify vibration amplitude. One method is the Peak Particle Velocity (PPV). The PPV is defined as the maximum instantaneous positive or negative peak of the vibration wave. In this report, a PPV descriptor with units of mm/sec or in/sec is used to evaluate construction generated vibration for building damage and human complaints.

Table 3 displays the reactions of people and the effects on buildings that continuous or frequent intermittent vibration levels produce. The guidelines in Table 3 represent syntheses of vibration criteria for human response and potential damage to buildings resulting from construction vibration.

Construction activities can cause vibration that varies in intensity depending on several factors.

The use of pile driving and vibratory compaction equipment typically generates the highest construction related groundborne vibration levels. Because of the impulsive nature of such activities, the use of the PPV descriptor has been routinely used to measure and assess groundborne vibration and almost exclusively to assess the potential of vibration to cause damage and the degree of annoyance for humans.

The two primary concerns with construction-induced vibration, the potential to damage a structure and the potential to interfere with the enjoyment of life, are evaluated against different vibration limits. Human perception to vibration varies with the individual and is a function of physical setting and the type of vibration. Persons exposed to elevated ambient vibration levels, such as people in an urban environment, may tolerate a higher vibration level.

Structural damage can be classified as cosmetic only, such as paint flaking or minimal extension of cracks in building surfaces; minor, including limited surface cracking; or major, that may threaten the structural integrity of the building. Safe vibration limits that can be applied to assess the potential for damaging a structure vary by researcher. The damage criteria presented in Table 3 include several categories for ancient, fragile, and historic structures, the types of structures most at risk to damage. Most buildings are included within the categories ranging from “Historic and some old buildings” to “Modern industrial/commercial buildings”. Construction-induced vibration that can be detrimental to the building is very rare and has only been observed in instances where the structure is at a high state of disrepair and the construction activity occurs immediately adjacent to the structure.

The annoyance levels shown in Table 3 should be interpreted with care since vibration may be found to be annoying at lower levels than those shown, depending on the level of activity or the sensitivity of the individual. To sensitive individuals, vibrations approaching the threshold of perception can be annoying. Low-level vibrations frequently cause irritating secondary vibration, such as a slight rattling of windows, doors, or stacked dishes. The rattling sound can give rise to exaggerated vibration complaints, even though there is very little risk of actual structural damage. 903 of 1252

Regulatory Background – Noise
This section describes the relevant guidelines, policies, and standards established by State Agencies and the City of San Mateo. The State CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G, are used to assess the potential significance of impacts pursuant to local General Plan policies, Municipal Code standards, or the applicable standards of other agencies. A summary of the applicable regulatory criteria is provided below.

State of California
State CEQA Guidelines. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) contains guidelines to evaluate the significance of effects of environmental noise attributable to a proposed project.

Under CEQA, noise impacts would be considered significant if the project would result in:
(a) 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 applicable standards of other agencies; (b) Generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels; (c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or where such a plan has not been adopted within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, if the project would expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels.

8 2019 California Building Code, Title 24, Part 2. The current version of the California Building Code (CBC) requires interior noise levels in multi-family residential units attributable to exterior environmental noise sources to be limited to a level not exceeding 45 dBA DNL/CNEL in any habitable room.
2019 California Building Cal Green Code. The State of California established exterior sound transmission control standards for new non-residential buildings as set forth in the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code (Section 5.507.4.1 and 5.507.4.2). The sections that pertain to this project are as follows:

5.507.4.1 Exterior noise transmission, prescriptive method. Wall and roof-ceiling assemblies exposed to the noise source making up the building envelope shall meet a composite STC rating of at least 50 or a composite OITC rating of no less than 40, with exterior windows of a minimum STC of 40 or OITC of 30 when the building falls within the 65 dBA Ldn noise contour of a freeway or expressway, railroad, industrial source or fixed-guideway noise source, as determined by the local general plan noise element.

5.507.4.2 Performance method. For buildings located, as defined by Section 5.507.4.1, wall and roof-ceiling assemblies exposed to the noise source making up the building envelope shall be constructed to provide an interior noise environment attributable to exterior sources that does not exceed an hourly equivalent noise level (Leq (1-hr)) of 50 dBA in occupied areas during any hour of operation.

The performance method, which establishes the acceptable interior noise level, is the method typically used when applying these standards.

City of San Mateo
City of San Mateo General Plan: The Noise Element of the City of San Mateo General Plan sets forth goals and policies to control environmental noise and protect citizens from excessive noise exposure. The goals and policies relevant to this project are summarized below:

GOAL 1: Protect “noise sensitive” land uses from excessive noise levels.

POLICIES:

N 1.1: Interior Noise Level Standard. Require submittal of an acoustical analysis and interior noise insulation for all “noise sensitive” land uses listed in Table N-1 that have an exterior noise level of 60 dB (Ldn) or above, as shown on Figure N-1. The maximum interior noise level shall not exceed 45 dB (Ldn) in any habitable rooms.

N 1.2: Exterior Noise Level Standard. Require an acoustical analysis for new parks, play areas, and multi-family common open space (intended for the use and the enjoyment of residents) that have an exterior noise level of 60 dB (Ldn) or above, as shown on Figure N-1. Require an acoustical analysis that uses peak hour Leq for new parks and play areas. Require a feasibility analysis of noise reduction measures for public parks and play areas. Incorporate necessary mitigation measures into residential project design to minimize common open 905 of 1252
9 space noise levels. Maximum exterior noise should not exceed 67 dB (Ldn) for residential uses and should not exceed 65 dB (Leq) during the noisiest hour for public park uses.

GOAL 2: Minimize unnecessary, annoying and unhealthful noise.

POLICIES:

N 2.1: Noise Ordinance. Continue implementation and enforcement of City’s existing noise control ordinance: (a) which prohibits noise that is annoying or injurious to neighbors of normal sensitivity, making such activity a public nuisance, and (b) restricts the hours of construction to minimize noise impact.

N 2.2: Minimize Noise Impact. Protect all “noise-sensitive” land uses listed in Tables N-1 and N-2 from adverse impacts caused by noise generated on-site by new developments.

Incorporate necessary mitigation measures into development design to minimize noise impacts. Prohibit long-term exposure increases of 3 dB (Ldn) or greater at the common property line, excluding existing ambient noise levels.

N 2.3: Minimize Commercial Noise. Protect land uses other than those listed as “noise sensitive” in Table N-1 from adverse impacts caused by the on-site noise generated by new developments. Incorporate necessary mitigation measures into development design to minimize noise impacts. Prohibit new uses that generate noise levels of 65 dB (Ldn) or above at the property line, excluding existing ambient noise levels.

N 2.4: Traffic Noise. Recognize projected increases in ambient noise levels resulting from traffic increases. Promote the installation of noise barriers along highways where “noisesensitive” land uses listed in Table N-1 are adversely impacted by unacceptable noise levels [60 dB (Ldn) or above]. Require adequate noise mitigation to be incorporated into the widening of SR 92 and US 101. Accept noise increases on El Camino Real at existing development and require new multi-family development to provide common open space having a maximum exterior noise level of 67 dB (Ldn).

10 1 These guidelines are derived from the California Department of Health Services, Guidelines for the Preparation and Content of the Noise Element of the General Plan, 2003. The State Guidelines have been modified to reflect San Mateo's preference for distinct noise compatibility categories and to better reflect local land-use and noise conditions.

It is intended that these guidelines be utilized to evaluate the suitability of land-use changes only and not to determine cumulative noise impacts. Land uses other than those classified as being “noise sensitive” are exempt from these compatibility guidelines.
2 Normally Acceptable – Specified land use is satisfactory, based upon the assumption that any buildings involved are of normal conventional construction, without any special noise insulation requirements. 3 Conditionally Acceptable – New construction should be undertaken only after a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirement is conducted and needed noise insulation features included in the design. 4 Normally Unacceptable – New construction should be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features included in the design.

12 1. No individual piece of equipment shall produce a noise level exceeding 90 dBA at a distance of 25 feet. If the device is housed within a structure on the property, the measurement shall be made outside the structure at a distance as close to 25 feet as possible.

2. The noise level outside of any point outside the property plane of the project shall not exceed 90 dBA.

Existing Noise Environment
The project site is located to the south of the East 4th Avenue/South B Street intersection in San Mateo, California. A residential building is located southeast of the project site, opposite East 5th Avenue, and existing commercial retail uses are located southwest of the site, opposite South Ellsworth Avenue, northwest of the site, opposite East 4th Avenue, and northeast of the site, opposite South B Street.

The existing noise environment at the site results primarily from local vehicular traffic along East 4th Avenue and the other surrounding roadways. Distant U.S. Highway 101 (Highway 101) traffic noise, train noise from the nearby tracks one block to the northeast, and aircraft associated with the San Francisco International Airport also contribute to the noise environment.

A noise monitoring survey, which included two long-term (LT-1 and LT-2) and two short-term (ST-1 and ST-2) noise measurements, was performed at the site between Tuesday March 22, 2022 and Thursday March 24, 2022. All measurement locations are shown in Figure 1.

Long-term noise measurement LT-1 was made approximately 30 feet southeast of the centerline of East 4th Avenue. Hourly average noise levels at LT-1 typically ranged from 66 to 68 dBA Leq during the day and from 53 to 67 dBA Leq at night. The day-night average noise level (Ldn) for the 24-hour period occurring on Wednesday March 23, 2022 was 70 dBA Ldn. The daily trends in noise levels at LT-1 are shown in Figures A1 through A3 in the Appendix of this report.

Noise measurement LT-2 was made approximately 20 feet northwest of the centerline of East 5th Avenue. Hourly average noise levels at LT-2 typically ranged from 62 to 76 dBA Leq during the day and from 51 to 66 dBA Leq at night. The day-night average noise level (Ldn) for the 24-hour period occurring on Wednesday March 23, 2022 was 69 dBA Ldn. The daily trends in noise levels at LT-2 are shown in Appendix Figures A4 through A6.

Two short-term noise measurements were made on Tuesday March 22, 2022 in 10-minute intervals between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. ST-1 was made approximately 40 feet northeast of the centerline of South Ellsworth Avenue. Contributing noise sources at ST-1 included parking lot noise, traffic along nearby South 4th Avenue, and airplane flyovers. Parking lot activity generated noise levels of 62 to 72 dBA. Traffic noise generated noise levels ranging from 62 to 64 dBA, and airplanes generated noise levels of 58 to 60 dBA. The 10-minute average noise level at ST-1 was 56 dBA Leq(10-min).

ST-2 was made approximately 25 feet southwest of the centerline of South B Street. Major noise sources at ST-2 included local traffic along nearby East 4th Avenue and South B Street and train 909 of 1252
13 noise from the tracks one block northeast of the site. Typical traffic noise ranged from 52 to 54 dBA, while noisy vehicles generated noise levels up to 80 dBA. A train horn generated noise levels ranging from 70 to 72 dBA. The 10-minute average noise level at ST-2 was 64 dBA Leq(10-min).

Table 4 summarizes the results of the 10-minute noise measurements made at ST-1 and ST-2.

15 PLAN CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS
Noise and Land Use Compatibility
The City of San Mateo General Plan, which is presented in detail in the Regulatory Background section of this report, includes exterior and interior noise thresholds for residential uses. Note, the City’s exterior noise thresholds apply only to common use areas and not private balconies, porches, or patios. Additionally, the State of California establishes acceptable interior noise limits within residential and non-residential land uses. The thresholds that apply to the proposed project are summarized below:
• Policy N 1.2 and Table N-1 of the City’s General Plan identifies exterior noise thresholds of 59 dBA Ldn or below as “normally acceptable” for multi-family residential uses; however, the policy further states that common open spaces at multi-family residential buildings intended for the use and enjoyment of residents would be limited to a maximum allowable noise level of 67 dBA Ldn.
• The City and State’s acceptable interior noise level standard is 45 dBA Ldn or less for the proposed residential land uses.
• The Cal Green Code standards specify an interior noise environment attributable to exterior sources not to exceed an hourly equivalent noise level (Leq (1-hr)) of 50 dBA in occupied areas of nonresidential uses during any hour of operation.

The future noise environment at the site would continue to result primarily from vehicular traffic along nearby roadways. The traffic study completed for the proposed project included average daily traffic (ADT) turning movements for five intersections in the project vicinity. Comparing the ADT volumes for the cumulative plus project scenario to the existing ADT volumes, the future traffic noise level increase experienced at the project site would be up to 2 dBA Ldn along East 4th Avenue and up to 1 dBA Ldn along East 5th Avenue with the inclusion of the proposed project.

Future Exterior Noise Environment
The site plan shows a community open space area and outdoor dining area, which would be affiliated with ground-level retail, on the first floor. Office terraces are shown on levels three and four, and an office roof deck is shown on level five. A common use outdoor area associated with the residential component of the proposed project is also shown on level five.

Residential Land Uses
The residential common use area is proposed along the building façade facing South B Street. The center of the common use area would be set back approximately 75 feet from the centerline of the roadway. Due to the height of the common use area and the setback from the edge of the building, the attenuation at the center of the common use area, which is where the majority of the extended use would occur, would be about 20 dBA. Therefore, the future exterior noise levels at the center of the fifth-floor common use area would be below 60 dBA Ldn. This would be compatible with the City’s 67 dBA Ldn threshold for residential uses.
912 of 1252
16 Office and Commercial Retail Land Uses
While the City does not define exterior noise thresholds for office and retail uses, other cities in the Bay Area typically limit exterior noise levels at these types of uses to 70 dBA Ldn. For purposes of this report, 70 dBA Ldn is used as the exterior noise threshold for offices and commercial retail uses.

The office balcony on level three stretches along the building façades facing South Ellsworth Avenue, East 4th Street, and South B Street. The center of the third level terrace would be set back 50 feet from the centerline of South Ellsworth Avenue and South B Street and about 60 feet from the centerline of East 4th Street. The elevation and setback of the center of the third-floor office terrace would result in attenuation of about 15 dBA. The future exterior noise levels at the thirdfloor office terrace would be below 70 dBA Ldn.

The fourth-floor office terrace is located in the westernmost corner of the building, with the center set back approximately 80 feet from the centerline of South Ellsworth Avenue and approximately 100 feet from the centerline of East 4th Street. At these distances and at a higher elevation than the third-floor office terrace, the noise attenuation at the center of this terrace would be more than 15 dBA. The future exterior noise levels at the fourth-floor office terrace would be below 70 dBA Ldn.

The fifth-floor roof deck associated with the office use component of the proposed project would be located along the building façades facing East 4th Avenue and South Ellsworth Avenue, with the center set back 80 and 75 feet, respectively. Due to these setbacks and the elevation of the fifth floor, the roof deck would experience noise attenuation of up to 20 dBA. The future exterior noise levels at the fourth-floor office terrace would be below 70 dBA Ldn.

The ground-level outdoor seating area and common open space area are located at the intersection of South Ellsworth Avenue and East 4th Street. The center of this area would be set back from the centerlines of these roadways by approximately 65 feet from the centerline of South Ellsworth Avenue and approximately 75 feet from the centerline of East 4th Street. The building would provide partial shielding for this area. Assuming partial shielding, the future exterior noise levels at the ground-level outdoor seating area and common open space would be below 70 dBA Ldn.

The common use outdoor areas associated with the office and commercial retail uses would be compatible with the future noise environment at the project site.

Future Interior Noise Environment

Residential Land Uses
Standard residential construction provides approximately 15 dBA of exterior-to-interior noise reduction, assuming the windows are partially open for ventilation. Standard construction with the windows closed provides approximately 20 to 25 dBA of noise reduction in interior spaces. Where exterior noise levels range from 60 to 65 dBA Ldn, the inclusion of adequate forced-air mechanical ventilation is often the method selected to reduce interior noise levels to acceptable levels by closing the windows to control noise. Where noise levels exceed 65 dBA Ldn, forced-air mechanical ventilation systems and sound-rated construction methods are normally required. Such 913 of 1252
17 methods or materials may include a combination of smaller window and door sizes as a percentage of the total building façade facing the noise source, sound-rated windows and doors, sound rated exterior wall assemblies, and mechanical ventilation so windows may be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion.

Residential units are located on level five of the proposed building along the façades facing South B Street and East 5th Avenue. The setbacks of these units would be approximately 85 feet from the centerline of South B Street and approximately 60 feet from the centerline of East 5th Avenue. At these distances, the residential units would be exposed to future exterior noise levels ranging from 65 to 68 dBA Ldn. Assuming windows to be partially open, future interior noise levels in these units would range from 50 to 53 dBA Ldn.

To meet the City and State’s interior noise requirement of 45 dBA Ldn, implementation of noise insulation features would be required.

Office and Commercial Retail Land Uses
Offices and commercial retail would be located on levels one through four, with setbacks from the centerlines of the surrounding roadways of approximately 55 feet from East 4th Avenue, 30 feet from East 5th Avenue, and 40 to 45 feet from South Ellsworth Avenue and South B Street. At these distances, daytime hourly average noise levels would range from 61 to 75 dBA Leq, with day-night average noise levels up to 69 dBA Ldn.

Standard construction materials for offices and commercial retail uses would provide about 25 dBA of noise reduction in interior spaces. The inclusion of adequate forced-air mechanical ventilation systems is normally required so that windows may be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion and would provide an additional 5 dBA reduction. The standard construction materials in combination with forced-air mechanical ventilation would satisfy the daytime threshold of 50 dBA Leq(1-hr)
Spaces where lower noise levels would be desired, such as private offices and conference rooms, may benefit from additional noise control in order to meet a lower, more desirable interior noise level. Additional noise control could be accomplished by selecting higher sound-rated windows (STC 34 or greater along exterior façades).

Noise Insulation Features to Reduce Future Interior Noise Levels The following noise insulation features shall be incorporated into the proposed project to reduce interior noise levels to 45 dBA Ldn or less at residential interiors:
• Provide a suitable form of forced-air mechanical ventilation, as determined by the local building official, for all residential units on the project site, so that windows can be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion to control interior noise and achieve the interior noise standards.
914 of 1252
18 • Preliminary calculations indicate that all residential units would require windows and doors with a minimum rating of 30 STC with adequate forced-air mechanical ventilation to meet the interior noise threshold of 45 dBA Ldn.

The implementation of these noise insulation features would reduce interior noise levels to 45 dBA Ldn or less at residential uses.

Conditions of Approval
Interior Noise Standard for Residential Development. The project applicant shall prepare final design plans that incorporate building design and acoustical treatments to ensure compliance with State Building Codes and City noise standards. A project-specific acoustical analysis shall be prepared to ensure that the design incorporates controls to reduce interior noise levels to 45 dBA Ldn or lower within the residential unit and to 50 dBA Leq(1-hr) or lower within nonresidential interiors. The project applicant shall conform with any special building construction techniques requested by the City’s Building Department, which may include sound-rated windows and doors, sound-rated wall constructions, and acoustical caulking.

NOISE IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
This section describes the significance criteria used to evaluate project impacts under CEQA, provides a discussion of each project impact, and presents mitigation measures, where necessary, to reduce project impacts to less-than-significant levels.

Significance Criteria
The following criteria were used to evaluate the significance of environmental noise resulting from the project:
• A significant noise impact would be identified if the project would generate a substantial temporary or permanent noise level increase over ambient noise levels at existing noisesensitive receptors surrounding the project site and that would exceed applicable noise standards presented in the General Plan or Municipal Code at existing noise-sensitive receptors surrounding the project site.
o A significant noise impact would be identified if construction-related noise would exceed the applicable noise standards presented in the San Mateo Municipal Code. o A significant permanent noise level increase would occur if the project would result in a 3 dBA Ldn or greater.
o A significant noise impact would be identified if the project would expose persons to or generate noise levels that would exceed applicable noise standards presented in the General Plan or Municipal Code.
915 of 1252
19 • A significant impact would be identified if the construction of the project would generate excessive vibration levels surrounding receptors. Groundborne vibration levels exceeding

0.3 in/sec PPV would have the potential to result in cosmetic damage to normal buildings (see Table 3).
• A significant noise impact would be identified if the project would expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive aircraft noise levels.

Impact 1a: Temporary Construction Noise. Existing and future noise-sensitive land uses would potentially be exposed to a temporary increase in noise levels excess of the City’s construction noise limits. This is a potentially significant impact.

The project applicant proposes to demolish the existing buildings on the project site. The construction schedule assumed that the earliest possible start date would be early March 2023, with an estimated completion date of mid of November 2024. Construction phases would include demolition, site preparation, grading/excavation, trenching, building construction, and paving.

During each phase of construction, there would be a different mix of equipment operating, and noise levels would vary by phase and vary within phases, based on the amount of equipment in operation and the location at which the equipment is operating.

Noise impacts resulting from construction depend upon the noise generated by various pieces of construction equipment, the timing and duration of noise-generating activities, and the distance between construction noise sources and noise-sensitive areas. Construction noise impacts primarily result when construction activities occur during noise-sensitive times of the day (e.g., early morning, evening, or nighttime hours), the construction occurs in areas immediately adjoining noise-sensitive land uses, or when construction lasts over extended periods of time.

Section 7.30.060 of the City of San Mateo’s Municipal Code limits construction to weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Saturdays between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and Sundays and holidays between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Additionally, the City specifies that no individual piece of equipment shall produce a noise level exceeding 90 dBA at a distance of 25 feet and that the noise level outside any point outside the property plane of the project shall not exceed 90 dBA.

Construction activities generate considerable amounts of noise, especially during earth-moving activities when heavy equipment is used. The hauling of excavated materials and construction materials would generate truck trips on local roadways, as well. For the proposed project, pile driving, which generates excessive noise levels, is not expected. The typical range of maximum instantaneous noise levels for the proposed project would be 70 to 90 dBA Lmax at a distance of 50 feet (see Table 5) from the equipment. Table 6 shows the hourly average noise level ranges, by construction phase, typical for various types of projects. Hourly average noise levels generated by construction are about 72 to 88 dBA Leq for mixed-use buildings, measured at a distance of 50 feet from the center of a busy construction site. Construction-generated noise levels drop off at a rate of about 6 dBA per doubling of the distance between the source and receptor. Shielding by buildings or terrain often result in lower construction noise levels at distant receptors. 916 of 1252
20 Equipment expected to be used in each construction phase are summarized in Table 7, along with the quantity of each type of equipment and the reference noise level at 50 feet, assuming the operation of the two loudest pieces of construction equipment for each construction phase.

Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) was used to calculate the hourly average noise levels for each phase of construction, assuming the two loudest pieces of equipment would operate simultaneously, as recommended by the FTA for construction noise evaluations. This construction noise model includes representative sound levels for the most common types of construction equipment and the approximate usage factors of such equipment that were developed based on an extensive database of information gathered during the construction of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project in Boston, Massachusetts (CA/T Project or "Big Dig"). The usage factors represent the percentage of time that the equipment would be operating at full power.

Noise levels calculated at 50 feet in Table 7 were propagated from the geometrical center of the project site to the receiving property lines of existing noise-sensitive receptors surrounding the site. The construction noise levels at the receiving property lines are summarized in Table 8. Noise levels in Table 8 do not assume reductions due to intervening buildings or existing barriers. Note, the existing commercial buildings northeast of the project site, opposite South B Street, would be demolished under future conditions. A project currently in the application process proposes a mixed-use building with affordable housing residential units and an office/retail building. For purposes of this project, the receptors expected under the proposed project are assumed to exist by the time the Draegers Mixed-Use project is under construction. These are denoted as future receptors.

24 As shown in Tables 7 and 8, construction noise levels would intermittently range from 74 to 85 dBA Leq when activities occur approximately 50 feet from nearby receptors and would typically range from 63 to 74 dBA Leq when focused near the center of the site. Individual pieces of equipment could potentially exceed the City’s 90 dBA noise limit at a distance of 25 feet. This is a potentially significant impact.

Mitigation Measure 1a:

Modification, placement, and operation of construction equipment are possible means for minimizing the impact of construction noise on existing sensitive receptors. Construction equipment should be well-maintained and used judiciously to be as quiet as possible. Additionally, construction activities for the proposed project should include the following best management practices to reduce noise from construction activities near sensitive land uses:
• Construction staging areas shall be established at locations that will create the greatest distance between the construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction. • Use of exceptionally loud equipment such as jackhammers and concrete saws within 35 feet of shared property lines shall be limited, as feasible. • All internal combustion engine-driven equipment shall be equipped with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. • Unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines should be strictly prohibited. If necessary, idling of internal combustion engines shall be limited to 5 minutes. • Stationary noise-generating equipment, such as air compressors or portable power generators, shall be located as far as possible from sensitive receptors and property lines.

If they must be located within 35 feet of receptors and property lines, adequate muffling (with barriers or enclosures where feasible and appropriate) shall be used to reduce noise levels at the adjacent sensitive receptors to 90 dBA. All temporary barriers used shall be eight feet in height at minimum, continuous from grade to top, with no cracks or gaps, and have a minimum surface density of three pounds per square foot (e.g., one-inch thick wood fence boards).
• Utilize “quiet” air compressors and other stationary noise sources where technology exists. • Control noise from construction workers’ radios to a point where they are not audible at existing residences bordering the project site.
• The contractor shall prepare a detailed construction plana identifying the schedule for major noise-generating construction activities. The construction plan shall identify a procedure for coordination with adjacent residential land uses so that construction activities can be scheduled to minimize noise disturbance.
921 of 1252
25 • Designate a “disturbance coordinator” who would be responsible for responding to any complaints about construction noise. The disturbance coordinator will determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., bad muffler, etc.) and will require that reasonable measures be implemented to correct the problem. Conspicuously post a telephone number for the disturbance coordinator at the construction site and include it in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction schedule.

Implementation of the above best management practices would reduce construction noise levels emanating from the site, limit construction hours, and minimize disruption and annoyance. With the implementation of these measures and recognizing that noise generated by construction activities would occur over a temporary period, the impact would be reduced to a less-thansignificant level.

Impact 1b: Permanent Noise Level Increase/Exceed Applicable Standards. The proposed project would not result in a substantial permanent noise level increase or exceed applicable standards at the noise-sensitive receptors in the project vicinity. This is a less-than-significant impact.

According to Policy N2.2 of the City’s General Plan, a significant permanent noise increase would occur at existing noise-sensitive receptors if a new development results in a permanent noise increase of 3 dBA Ldn or greater.

Policy N2.3 limits new commercial developments from generating noise levels of 65 dBA Ldn or greater at the property line, excluding existing ambient noise levels. Additionally, operational noise is limited to the noise levels specified in Table 7.30.040, adjusted for ambient conditions. Maximum permissible noise levels for sources operating more than 30 minutes in a given hour for residences would be that of Zone 1: 50 dBA during nighttime hours (between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.) and 60 dBA during daytime hours (between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.). Maximum permissible noise levels for noise sources operating more than 30 minutes in a given hour for offices and commercial uses would be that of Zone 2: 55 dBA during nighttime hours and 60 dBA during daytime hours. For noise sources operating more than 15 minutes in a given hour, 5 dBA would be added to these thresholds. Noise sources operating more than five minutes in a given hour would have thresholds 10 dBA above these levels, and noise sources operating more than one minute in a given hour would have thresholds 15 dBA above these levels.

The Municipal Code also states that ambient noise levels would be used if existing ambient noise levels exceed the Municipal Code limits. The measured hourly average noise levels during daytime hours ranged from 62 to 76 dBA Leq (average of 65 dBA Leq) and from 51 to 66 dBA Leq during nighttime hours (average of 59 dBA Leq) along East 5th Avenue, which would represent the ambient environment at the existing residential receptors located opposite East 5th Avenue from the project site. Hourly average noise levels during daytime hours ranged from 66 to 68 dBA Leq (average of 67 dBA Leq) and from 53 to 67 dBA Leq during nighttime hours (average of 61 dBA Leq) along East 4th Avenue, which would represent ambient conditions of existing commercial receptors opposite East 4th Avenue and opposite South Ellsworth Avenue from the project site, as well as the future residential/commercial receptors opposite South B Street. Since the average hourly average noise levels measured in the project vicinity during daytime and nighttime hours exceed the Municipal Code thresholds, the measured average noise levels will be used as the baseline 922 of 1252
26 threshold for activities occurring more than 30 minutes in a given hour to conservatively assess the significance of the project’s operational noise. Where appropriate, the proper increase will be applied.

Project Traffic Increase
The traffic study included average daily traffic (ADT) along five roadway segments in the project site vicinity for the existing traffic volumes and project volumes. By adding the project volumes to the existing scenario, the existing plus project volumes were calculated and compared to the existing traffic volumes to estimate the project’s contribution to the overall noise level increase.

Along each roadway segment in the project vicinity, the overall noise level increase was determined to be 1 dBA Ldn along East 5th Avenue and less than 1 dBA Ldn along all other roadway segments. Therefore, project traffic would not result in a permanent noise increase of 3 dBA Ldn or more at noise-sensitive receptors in the project vicinity.

Mechanical Equipment
The site plan shows a pump room, electrical room, and a transformer room on the ground-level of the proposed building along the southwestern façade. A mechanical penthouse is shown on level five in the southwestern portion of the building. The equipment located in the mechanical yard would include variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump systems, exhaust vents, and make up air units (similar to air handling or heating, ventilation, air conditioning [HVAC] units) for the office uses, commercial retail uses, and garage. Solar panels are also shown along the southeastern façade of level five. The rooftop would include residential HVAC units. For all these units, continuous 24- hour operation would represent worst-case conditions; therefore, the hourly average threshold based on average ambient noise levels would be 65 dBA during daytime hours and 59 dBA during nighttime hours for the existing residences to the southeast and would be 67 dBA during daytime hours and 61 dBA during nighttime hours for all other receptors surrounding the site.

Additionally, a generator room is shown on level B1 of the below-grade parking garage. Since the generator room would be located underground, noise levels generated by the emergency generator would be well shielded and below ambient conditions during monthly testing, which typically runs for one continuous hour. For all existing receptors, the noise level increase due to emergency generator noise would not be measurable or detectable (0 dBA Ldn increase).

Transformers ranging from 37.5 to 112.5 kVA are proposed at the building. For transformers up to 1,000 kVA, noise levels up to 64 dB are generated at a distance of 1 meter (3.28 feet). Assuming up to three transformers run simultaneously, the combined noise level would be 69 dBA. Under worstcase conditions, these units are assumed to run continuously during daytime and nighttime hours, generating day-night average noise level up to 75 dBA Ldn at a distance of 1 meter (3.28 feet). With no windows in the transformer room, which would be located along the southwestern façade, the building would provide about 20 dBA attenuation for surrounding receptors. Table 9 summarizes the noise levels generated at the property lines of the existing surrounding receptors by the groundlevel transformers, assuming 20 dBA attenuation. 923 of 1252

a Conservative 20 dBA noise level reduction from the mechanical screening and the elevation is assumed. b Future receptors would not be subject to a noise level increase since they do not currently exist.

The City’s daytime and nighttime thresholds for operations occurring for more than 30 minutes in a given hour would not be exceeded by the ground-level transformers at the existing and future receptors in the immediate vicinity of the project site. All other electrical and pump rooms on the ground-level would generate noise levels lower than transformers and would also be located within rooms of the building. For all existing receptors, the noise level increase due to transformer noise would not be measurable or detectable (0 dBA Ldn increase).

The multi-split VRF condensing units located within the mechanical penthouse on level 5 would be for the ground-level commercial use and the office floors. While noise level information for these units were not available at the time of this study, VRF units for office buildings of this size would generate noise levels up to 66 dBA at a distance of 3 feet, while a grocery store of the size proposed by the applicant would include condensing units with noise levels of about 69 dBA at 10 feet.

Exhaust fans for the ground-level commercial use are expected to produce noise levels of 55 to 65 at a distance of 3 feet. When operating at full speed, noise levels from exhaust fans from the parking garage would be up to 76 dBA at a distance of 5 feet and up to 65 dBA at 5 feet when operating at 35% speed. Typically, these types of fans would run at 20% speed, which would generate noise levels even lower; however, for purposes of studying worst-case scenario, full speed conditions are assumed.

Under worst-case conditions, up to five office condensing units, two grocery store condensing units, two commercial exhaust fans, and a garage exhaust fan would operate simultaneously for a combined noise level of 85 dBA at 3 feet. These types of units would cycle on and off continuously over a given 24-hour period, and assuming all units running continuously, the day-night average noise level under worst-case conditions would be 91 dBA Ldn at 3 feet.

Solar panels are also shown on the southeastern edge of the fifth level; however, this type of equipment would not generate noise levels audible at the project boundaries.

The mechanical would be surrounded by the residential units to the northeast and by a parapet wall of about the same height as the building façade around the other three sides of the penthouse. It is assumed that the mechanical screen would be solid from base to top with no cracks or gaps but would 924 of 1252
28 be open on the roof. In combination with the elevation above the ground, there would be a minimum attenuation of 20 dBA for existing receptors located on the ground level or second story. A minimum attenuation of 20 dBA would also be assumed for the future residential/commercial buildings northeast of the site since the proposed residential units on level five would break the line-of-sight to the future receptors. The existing residential building to the southeast is five stories tall. The partial shielding from the building façade and the mechanical screen would provide a minimum attenuation of 10 dBA for this residential building. Table 10 summarizes the hourly average and day-night average noise levels propagated from the level 5 mechanical penthouse to the property lines of the nearest surrounding receptors with direct line-of-sight to the mechanical penthouse.

a Conservative 20 dBA noise level reduction from the mechanical screening, the elevation, and/or intervening residential units is assumed. b Conservative 10 dBA noise level reduction from the mechanical screening and building façade is assumed. c Future receptors would not be subject to a noise level increase since they do not currently exist.

Assuming a minimum attenuation of 10 to 20 dBA, the equipment in the mechanical penthouse would not exceed the City’s hourly average noise levels during daytime or nighttime hours at the nearest surrounding existing and future receptors or the day-night average noise level at the property line. For all existing receptors, the noise level increase due to equipment in the mechanical penthouse would not be measurable or detectable (0 dBA Ldn increase).

The rooftop would include HVAC for the residential units. Noise levels generated by these types of units would be up to 62 dBA at 20 feet. Assuming up to five units operating simultaneously at any given time, hourly average noise levels would be up to 69 dBA Leq at a distance of 20 feet during daytime and nighttime hours. Under worst-case conditions with these units cycling on and off continuously over any given 24-hour period, the day-night average noise level under worst-case conditions would be 75 dBA Ldn at 20 feet.

Table 11 summarizes the noise levels at the property lines of the surrounding land uses for noise generated at the rooftop equipment. Assuming these units would be set back at least 10 feet from the edge of the rooftop above the residential units, a minimum attenuation of 20 dBA would occur at the ground-level and two-story receptors. With no screening, the existing residential building to the southeast and the future residential/commercial buildings to the northeast would potentially have 925 of 1252
29 direct line-of-sight to the rooftop equipment at the project site. No attenuation is applied to these receptors.

a Conservative 20 dBA noise level reduction from the mechanical screening and the elevation is assumed. b Conservatively, no attenuation is assumed since these residential receptors would potentially have direct line-of-sight to the rooftop equipment.

The rooftop equipment would not exceed the City’s hourly average noise levels during daytime or nighttime hours at the nearest existing receptors or the day-night average noise level at the property line. For all existing commercial receptors, the noise level increase due to equipment on the rooftop would not be measurable or detectable (0 dBA Ldn increase), while up to a 1 dBA Ldn would potentially occur at the existing residential land uses to the southeast.

Truck Loading and Unloading
The site plan shows the commercial loading zone and trash pickup area attached to the groundlevel retail portion of the building, with access along South B Street. This loading area would be shielded from the existing residential building to the southeast and the commercial uses to the southwest and northwest. The future residential/commercial uses to the northeast, however, would have direct line-of-sight to the loading zone, assuming the doors are open during deliveries. Trash pickup for the office uses are shown in the southern corner, which would have direct line-of-sight to both the residential uses to the southeast and the commercial uses to the southwest.

For all loading and unloading activities at the grocery store use, truck maneuvering could take up to 15 minutes. Since the measured hourly average noise levels in the project vicinity exceeded the City’s thresholds in Table 7.30.040, the noise limit for all loading/unloading activities at the grocery store occurring for up to 15 minutes in any hour would be 5 dBA added to the average ambient levels during daytime hours only, which would be 72 dBA at the future residential/commercial receptors to the northeast. Trash pickup typically takes up to five minutes in a given hour, which means 10 dB would be added to the ambient levels. The threshold for trash pickup would be 75 dBA at the existing residences to the southeast and would be 77 dBA at the existing commercial uses to the southwest.

Truck maneuvering noise would include a combination of engine, exhaust, and tire noise, as well as the intermittent sounds of back-up alarms and releases of compressed air associated with 926 of 1252
30 truck/trailer air brakes. Heavy trucks, such as those used at grocery stores, typically generate maximum instantaneous noise levels of 70 to 75 dBA at a distance of 50 feet. Smaller mediumsized trash trucks typically generate maximum noise levels of 60 to 65 dBA at 50 feet. The noise level of backup alarms can vary depending on the type and directivity of the sound, but maximum noise levels are typically in the range of 65 to 75 dBA at a distance of 50 feet.

Assuming three heavy truck deliveries at the grocery store and one trash pickup at the grocery store in a 24-hour period, which would represent worst-case conditions, noise levels generated at the proposed grocery store loading zone would range from 54 to 69 dBA Leq, and the day-night average noise level would be 60 dBA Ldn at a distance of 50 feet. The future residential/commercial uses located northeast of the project site is approximately 105 feet from the center of the loading zone along South B Street. At this distance, hourly average noise levels would range from 48 to 63 dBA Leq, and the day-night average noise level would be 54 dBA Ldn. These levels would not exceed ambient conditions or the thresholds established by the City during daytime hours.

Assuming only one trash pickup at the office trash area, the hourly average noise levels would be 54 dBA Leq at 50 feet, and the day-night average noise level would be 40 dBA Ldn. Table 12 summarizes the noise levels due to trash pickup at the office trash area for the receptors with direct line-of-sight.

The nearest existing receptors to the office trash pickup would not be exposed to truck maneuvering noise levels exceeding City thresholds. For all existing receptors with direct line-ofsight, the noise level increase due to trash pick noise would not be measurable or detectable (0 dBA Ldn increase).

Total Combined Project-Generated Noise
The operational noise levels produced by the proposed project combined (i.e., traffic, mechanical equipment, and truck loading/unloading activities) would result in up to a 2 dBA Ldn increase at the existing residential building along East 5th Avenue and less than 1 dBA Ldn at all other existing noise-sensitive receptors surrounding the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a substantial increase over ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. Further, operational noise levels would not exceed the City’s thresholds at the property lines or exceed ambient levels at the surrounding existing and future land uses. This is a less-than-significant impact.

Mitigation Measure 1b: None required.
927 of 1252
31 Impact 2: Exposure to Excessive Groundborne Vibration. Construction-related vibration levels would not exceed applicable vibration thresholds at nearby sensitive land uses. This is a less-than-significant impact.

The construction of the project may generate perceptible vibration when heavy equipment or impact tools (e.g., jackhammers, hoe rams) are used. Construction activities would include demolition, site preparation work, foundation work, and new building framing and finishing. Pile driving equipment, which can cause excessive vibration, is not expected to be required for the proposed project.

The California Department of Transportation recommends a vibration limit of 0.5 in/sec PPV for buildings structurally sound and designed to modern engineering standards, which typically consist of buildings constructed since the 1990s. Conservative vibration limits of 0.3 in/sec PPV has been used for buildings that are found to be structurally sound but where structural damage is a major concern (see Table 3 above for further explanation). For historical buildings or buildings that are documented to be structurally weakened, a cautious limit of 0.08 in/sec PPV is often used to provide the highest level of protection.

One historical building is located in the vicinity of the project site: at 505 South B Street, which is approximately 150 feet from the nearest edge of the project site. This structure would be subject to the conservative 0.08 in/sec PPV threshold. All other buildings surrounding the project site would be subject to the conservative 0.3 in/sec PPV threshold.

Table 13 presents typical vibration levels that could be expected from construction equipment at a distance of 25 feet. Project construction activities, such as drilling, the use of jackhammers, rock drills and other high-power or vibratory tools, and rolling stock equipment (tracked vehicles, compactors, etc.), may generate substantial vibration in the immediate vicinity. Jackhammers typically generate vibration levels of 0.035 in/sec PPV, and drilling typically generates vibration levels of 0.09 in/sec PPV at a distance of 25 feet.

Vibration levels would vary depending on soil conditions, construction methods, and equipment used. Table 13 also summarizes the distances to the 0.08 in/sec PPV threshold for historical buildings and to the 0.3 in/sec PPV threshold for all other buildings. Since the historical building located at 505 South B Street is 150 feet from the project’s boundary, vibration levels would be at or below 0.03 in/sec PPV at this building, which would be well below the 0.08 in/sec PPV threshold. Therefore, this building would not be considered a sensitive receptor for construction vibration and will not be discussed further.

Table 14 summarizes the vibration levels at each of the surrounding buildings in the project vicinity. Vibration levels are highest close to the source and then attenuate with increasing distance at the rate �

1.1 , where D is the distance from the source in feet and Dref is the reference distance of 25 feet. While construction noise levels increase based on the cumulative equipment in use simultaneously, construction vibration levels would be dependent on the location of individual pieces of equipment. That is, equipment scattered throughout the site would not generate a collective vibration level, but a vibratory roller, for instance, operating near the project site boundary would generate the worst-case vibration levels for the receptor sharing that property line.

Further, construction vibration impacts are assessed based on the potential for damage to buildings on receiving land uses, not at receptors at the nearest property lines. Therefore, the distances used to propagate construction vibration levels (as shown in Table 14), which are different than the distances used to propagate construction noise levels (as shown in Table 8), were estimated under the assumption that each piece of equipment from Table 13 was operating along the nearest boundary of the project site, which would represent the worst-case scenario.

As shown in Table 14, all non-historical buildings surrounding the project site would be more than 25 feet from the nearest boundary. Vibration levels at each of these buildings would be below 0.3 in/sec PPV.

Neither cosmetic, minor, or major damage would occur at historical or conventional buildings located 60 feet or more from the project site. At these locations, and in other surrounding areas where vibration would not be expected to cause cosmetic damage, vibration levels may still be perceptible. However, as with any type of construction, this would be anticipated and would not be considered significant, given the intermittent and short duration of the phases that have the highest potential of producing vibration (use of jackhammers and other high-power tools). By use of administrative controls, such as notifying neighbors of scheduled construction activities and scheduling construction activities with the highest potential to produce perceptible vibration during hours with the least potential to affect nearby businesses, perceptible vibration can be kept to a minimum.
929 of 1252
33 In summary, the construction of the project would not generate vibration levels exceeding 0.08 in/sec PPV at historic properties in the project vicinity and would not generate vibration levels of

0.3 in/sec PPV at the nonhistorical buildings surrounding the project site. This would be considered a less-than-significant impact.

Mitigation Measure 2: None required.

Impact 3: Excessive Aircraft Noise. The project site is located about 3.7 miles from the San Francisco International Airport. The noise environment attributable to aircraft is considered normally acceptable. This is a less-than-significant impact.

The San Francisco International Airport is a public-use airport located approximately 3.7 miles northwest of the project site. According to the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport, 1 the project site lies well outside the
65 dBA CNEL/Ldn noise contour (see Figure 2), and the required safe and compatible threshold for exterior noise levels would be at or below 65 dBA CNEL/Ldn for aircrafts. Therefore, the proposed project would be compatible with the exterior noise standards for aircraft noise.

Assuming standard construction materials for aircraft noise below 60 dBA Ldn, the future interior noise levels resulting from aircraft would below 45 dBA Ldn. Therefore, future interior noise at the proposed building would be compatible with aircraft noise. This would be a less-than-significant impact.

Mitigation Measure 3: None required.

35 Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative noise impacts would include temporary construction noise from cumulative construction projects.

A significant cumulative traffic noise impact would occur if two criteria are met: 1) if the cumulative traffic noise level increase was 3 dBA Ldn or greater for future levels exceeding the normally acceptable threshold; and 2) if the project would make a “cumulatively considerable” contribution to the overall traffic noise increase. A “cumulatively considerable” contribution would be defined as an increase of 1 dBA Ldn or more attributable solely to the proposed project.

Cumulative and cumulative plus project ADT traffic volumes were included in the traffic study.

When these volumes were compared to the existing ADT volumes, an increase of 2 dBA Ldn or less was calculated with and without the project, which would not be considered a “cumulatively considerable” contribution. Therefore, the project would not cause a significant cumulative noise increase at noise-sensitive uses in the project vicinity.

The City of San Mateo has provided the following list of project sites located within 500 feet of the proposed 222 East 4th Avenue project site:
• 445 South B Street – this project is located opposite South B Street from the project site and would take up the entire block. This project has not been approved. A Preliminary Planning Application has been submitted for this new mixed-use development project, but it has not yet been approved. The project proposes a seven-story 60-unit affordable housing building, a five-story office/retail building, and 128 parking spaces. Construction dates for this project have not been confirmed but due to the close proximity of the project site and the noise-sensitive receptors shared by both project sites (i.e., the existing residential receptors south of the project site and the existing commercial buildings to the north of the project site), a significant cumulative construction impact would potentially occur, exposing the nearby sensitive receptors to construction activities at both sites simultaneously or consecutively.
• 180 East 3rd Avenue – this project is located in the southern corner of the East 3rd Avenue/South Ellsworth Avenue intersection and would be approximately 260 feet from the Draegers Mixed-Use project site. The project proposes the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of a three-story mixed-use building, consisting of groundlevel retail and office on the remaining floors. While this project has been approved, construction has not started. Since this project has been approved and would not share noise-sensitive receptors with direct line-of-sight to both project sites, this would not result in a cumulative construction impact.
• Kiku Crossing and 5th Avenue Garage – this project is located northeast of the railroad tracks between East 4th Avenue and East 5th Avenue, approximately 400 feet from the Draegers Mixed-Use project site. This project consists of 225 affordable residential units in a seven-story building and five-level parking garage. This project is currently under 932 of 1252
36 construction and will likely be completed before the Draegers project starts. This would not result in a cumulative construction impact.

The existing receptors south and north of the project site would be considered sensitive receptors during construction activities at both Draegers Mixed-Use and 445 South B Street project sites, and construction activities could occur simultaneously or consecutively. However, the noisesensitive residential uses southeast of the project site would be more directly exposed to construction noise at the Draegers site than the 445 South B Street site. With the implementation of construction noise and vibration mitigation measures included in the individual projects, construction noise and vibration levels would be reduced as much as possible at all surrounding sensitive receptors during construction of each individual project. Therefore, the potential cumulative construction impact would be less-than-significant. 933 of 1252

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
The proposed project is estimated to generate 169 vehicle trips (120 inbound, 49 outbound) during the weekday AM peak hour and 201 vehicle trips (70 inbound, 131 outbound) during the weekday PM peak hour. The existing Draeger’s supermarket is estimated to generate 304 vehicle trips (167 inbound, 137 outbound) during the weekday AM peak hour and 432 vehicle trips (216 inbound, 216 outbound) during the weekday PM peak hour. The proposed project generates fewer AM and PM peak hour trips when compared to the AM and PM peak hour trips currently being generated by the existing Draeger’s supermarket.

CEQA ANALYSIS
This project is located within a half mile of the San Mateo Downtown Caltrain station, and it meets the detailed screening criteria requirements to be considered within a High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA) per the City VMT Guidelines. In meeting at least one of the five screening criteria, the proposed project can be presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact and therefore is exempted from the detailed VMT analysis.

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
Kittelson conducted the intersection level of service analysis at all five study intersections for Existing, Baseline (Opening Year), Baseline (Opening Year) Plus Project, Cumulative, and Cumulative Plus Project Conditions for weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions. Kittelson reviewed the site access and onsite circulation based on the proposed site plan and the changes in the 95th percentile queue lengths caused by the proposed project at the study intersections. The results for all scenarios are presented in the report below. The proposed project would not cause any study intersections to exceed the level of service standard as specified in the City of San Mateo TIA guidelines in the existing, baseline (opening year), and cumulative conditions.1 Storage capacity is exceeded for the EB and SB approaches at 4th Ave and B St in the AM and PM Cumulative and Cumulative Plus Project scenarios as well as the EB only approach at 4th Ave and Ellsworth in the Cumulative and Cumulative Plus Project PM scenarios . Although storage capacity is exceeded in these scenarios, queue lengths do not increase with respect to plus project scenarios when compared to no project scenarios. Thus, the proposed project does not impact the status quo. 1 City of San Mateo Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines, 2020. 948 of 1252

INTRODUCTION
This report documents the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis findings and the local transportation analysis conducted for the proposed 222 E. 4th Avenue Draeger’s Site Mixed Use Project development in San Mateo, California (Figure 1).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

PROJECT LOCATION
The proposed project is located at 222 East 4th Avenue and is approximately 0.4 miles from the San Mateo Caltrain downtown station. Vehicular access to the site is proposed on 5th Avenue, where the garage entry/exit is provided. In addition, pedestrian and bike access to the garage is through a shared lobby on the east by B Street. The residential lobby is provided midblock on the east by B Street, the office lobby is provided midblock on the west by Ellsworth Avenue, and retail entrance is provided on the north by 4th Avenue. Nearby land uses include residential, commercial/retail, recreational, and a hospital. San Mateo Central Park is located to the southwest of the site. The Project site is in downtown San Mateo and is zoned as Central Business District/Residential Overlay District – Mixed Use (CBD).

EXISTING AND PROPOSED USES
The existing site is the Draeger’s grocery store, consisting of 60, 965 SF.

Lane Partners is proposing to replace the existing 60,965 square feet Draeger’s market located at 222 East 4th Avenue with a 5-story, approximately 152,533 square feet mixed-use building with two levels of below grade parking. The building would consist of approximately 104,554 square feet of office space, 17,658 square feet of retail space, and 8,997 square feet of residential space for 10 below-market-rate units at the lower income level. The retail floor would be located on the ground floor, the office space would be spread throughout the first four floors, and the residential space would be split between the ground floor (i.e., residential lobby/elevator) and the fifth floor living areas. The ground floor would also include 12,392 square feet of covered parking area and two levels (89,519 square feet) below grade for a total of 221 parking spaces. The Project site plan is shown in Figure 2. Regional access to the project is via State Route 82 (El Camino Real), and US 101 via 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue. Local access to the project site would be provided by 5th Avenue, 4th Avenue, Ellsworth Avenue, and B Street. 950 of 1252

TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
The project would implement a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan to encourage sustainable modes of transportation and reduce vehicle trips to and from the site. The TDM Plan is being developed by Steer Group as part of this project.

SCOPE OF STUDY
The purpose of this transportation analysis is to determine whether the proposed project would have transportation impacts, as defined by the City of San Mateo’s Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines, developed in accordance with the City’s General Plan and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) requirements in July 2020. The analysis covers the following topics:

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) ANALYSIS
Senate Bill (SB) 743 changed the way transportation studies are conducted in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents. Specifically, SB 743 updated the way transportation impacts are measured for development projects, based on the number of daily trips and the distance traveled by those trips to their destinations (VMT). The technical advisory provided by the OPR specifically addresses the requirements of California SB 743 which mandated specific types of CEQA analysis of land use development and transportation projects effective July 1, 2020. The quantitative methodology, significance thresholds, and mitigation measures for conducting transportation analysis are based on VMT metrics.

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
The City of San Mateo requires the analysis of unsignalized and signalized intersections, though it does not require the analysis of roadway segments, in compliance with the 2030 General Plan. Since a roadway segment’s capacity is generally controlled by the downstream intersection, an intersection analysis is sufficient for assessing a project’s impacts. Based on the discussions with City Staff and the approved scope of work, Kittelson evaluated the following under the local transportation analysis section:
 Site Access and On-Site Circulation
o Vehicular Access
o Pedestrian Access
o Bicyclist Access
o Transit Access
o Emergency Vehicle Access
 Intersection Operations
o Level of Service
o Vehicle Queueing

CEQA ANALYSIS

SCREENING CRITERIA
According to the technical advisory by OPR2 and the more specific City VMT/TIA Guidelines3, a project may require a detailed VMT analysis unless it meets at least one of the City’s five screening criteria:

1. Small Projects – As per the OPR advisory and the City VMT/TIA Guidelines, projects that generate or attract fewer than 110 vehicle trips per day are classified as ‘small projects’. This proposed project has 10 residential units; 104,554 square feet of office space, and 17,658 square feet of retail space and generates 2,904 vehicle trips per day (Detailed trip generation is described in technical memo from Kittelson, dated August 22, 2022). The project generated trips are more than this screening threshold permits. The project does not meet this criterion.

2. Affordable Housing – As per the guidelines, residential projects that consist entirely of 100 percent deed restricted affordable housing are presumed to have a less than significant impact. The proposed project is a mixed-use development consisting of residential, office, and retail use. The project does not meet this criterion.

3. Local-Serving Retail and Public Services – As per the guidelines, projects that are locally serving retail with 50,000 square feet gross floor area or less are presumed to have a less than significant impact.

The proposed project is a mixed use development and while the retail portion is only 17,658 square feet and therefore can be screened out, the building’s office use cannot. The project does not meet this criterion.

4. High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA) – As per the guidelines, projects located within a HQTA do not require a detailed VMT analysis. The proposed project is in a high-quality transit area as specified by the City’s HQTA map (Attachment A of the City’s TIA Guidelines) which is included here as Figure 3.

This exemption from a detailed VMT analysis does not apply if any of the following are true about the project:
a. Project has a floor area ratio (FAR) of less than 0.75 – false. The FAR for this proposed project development is 3.1.
b. Project includes more parking for use by residents, customers, or employees of the project than required by the jurisdiction – false. The off-street parking requirement is determined by the Downtown Area Plan and the Downtown Specific Planning Area and Central Parking and Improvement District (CPID). Table 1 shows the minimum required amount of parking for the proposed project. The City requires 320 parking stalls based on the project characteristics. The project is providing 221 parking stalls. c. Project is inconsistent with the applicable Metropolitan Transportation Commissions’ (MTC) Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), as determined by the City - false. The City has not indicated that this project is out of alignment with the MTC SCS. 2 Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA, Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, December 2018.

d. Project replaces affordable units with a smaller number of moderate- or high-income residential units – false. This project is not replacing any affordable residential units.

The proposed project meets the HQTA criterion and does not exhibit any of the characteristics which would exempt it from satisfying this screening.

Total 320

5. Project Located in Low VMT Areas – Projects that are proposed in areas that generate VMT below adopted City thresholds are presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact and thus can be screened out. The thresholds and project types that may be screened out are:
a. Residential projects proposed in TAZs with total daily resident based VMT per capita that is 15% less than the existing regional average for the County of San Mateo. This is a mixed-use project and does not meet this criterion – false.
b. Office or employment portions of other non-residential uses with total daily employee based VMT per employee that is 15% less than the existing regional average for the County of San Mateo. The proposed mixed-use project is in Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) 3066 with VMT per Employee of 14.9. The San Mateo County has a regional average of 18.0 VMT per Employee with an impact threshold of 15.3 VMT per Employee (15% below regional average) for this mixed-use project – true.

The proposed project is a mixed-use development that includes retail, office, and residential uses. While the nonresidential component of the proposed project screens out, the overall project does not screen out as the residential thresholds are not applicable for the mixed-use project.

VMT IMPACT DISCUSSION
A review of the OPR Technical Advisory and City TIA Guidelines has determined that the project meets the minimum of one of the five of the VMT screening criteria - it is in a High-Quality Transit Area. Therefore, the project is presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT and is exempt from detailed VMT analysis.

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS

SCOPE OF STUDY

TIME PERIODS
Traffic conditions at the study intersections were analyzed for the weekday a.m. (7-9 am) and p.m. peak (4- 6 pm) hours of adjacent street traffic. It is during these peak commute periods that the traffic demand on the roadway system is the greatest.

Kittelson obtained the multimodal intersection turning movement counts at three of the five study intersections from the City for the weekday a.m. (7-9 am) and p.m. (4-6 pm) peak periods when the existing project site generated trips. These intersections included: E 5th Ave/Ellsworth Avenue, E 5th Ave/B Street, and E 4th Ave/B Street. The multimodal intersection turning movement counts for E 4th Ave/Ellsworth Ave and E 5th Ave/Laurel Ave were obtained using the Streetlight data. These turning movement counts obtained from Streetlight data were adjusted so that the intersection entry and exit volumes match the adjacent counts collected at the other study intersections. After these checks were performed, it was observed that the counts obtained from Streetlight data at E 5th Ave/Laurel Ave seemed to be overestimated when compared to the adjacent intersections. Hence, counts were collected at this intersection of E 5th Ave/Laurel Ave and these collected counts were used for analyzing traffic conditions as part of this project.

Transportation conditions were evaluated for the following scenarios:
• Existing Conditions. Traffic volumes for the Existing Conditions were estimated using historical counts and Streetlight data, as collecting turning movement volumes at the study intersections was not recommended due to COVID-194 conditions. However, due to unavailability of accurate multimodal count data at E 5th Ave/Laurel Ave, Kittelson collected counts at this one intersection. • Baseline (Opening Year) Conditions. Baseline (Opening Year) traffic volumes were estimated by adding the projected volumes from approved, but not yet completed land use development and transportation projects to existing peak hour volumes for the project completion year. • Baseline (Opening Year) Plus Project Conditions. Baseline (Opening Year) traffic volumes with the project were estimated by adding the additional traffic generated by the project to the approved/baseline (opening year) traffic volumes. Baseline (Opening Year) Plus Project Conditions were evaluated relative to Baseline (Opening Year) Conditions to determine the effects the proposed project would have on the Baseline (Opening Year) roadway network. • Cumulative Conditions. Cumulative Conditions are represented by future traffic volumes on the roadway network. This scenario was estimated by adding a regional growth to existing traffic volumes between the existing year and future year (2040). • Cumulative Plus Project Conditions. Cumulative traffic volumes with the project are estimated by adding cumulative traffic volumes to the additional traffic generated by the project. Cumulative 4 The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in shelter-in-place orders across the Bay Area and travel demand was significantly reduced across all modes. Travel patterns also changed substantially. These changes are the result of multiple factors such as school closures, restrictions on business operations, and an increased amount of telecommuting. 961 of 1252

INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) CRITERIA
Level of service (LOS) describes the operating conditions experienced by motorists. LOS is a qualitative measure of the effect of a number of factors, including speed and travel time, traffic interruptions and delay, freedom to maneuver, driving comfort, and convenience. LOS A through LOS F covers the entire range of traffic operations that might occur. Motorists using a facility that operates at a LOS A experience very little delay, while those using a facility that operates at a LOS F will experience long delays. Intersection analyses for the five study intersections were conducted using the operational methodologies outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition (HCM 6th Edition) methodology (Transportation Research Board, Washington, D.C., 2016), calculated with Synchro 11 software.

Signalized Intersections
The HCM procedure calculates a weighted average control delay in seconds per vehicle at a signalized intersection and assigns a level of service designation based upon the delay. The City of San Mateo level of service standard is mid-LOS D (delay of 45 seconds) or better for all signalized study intersections.

Unsignalized Intersections
The HCM methodology calculates a weighted average control delay in seconds per vehicle for each controlled intersection leg and for the intersection. For two-way stop-controlled intersections, the LOS for the worst approach is used as the LOS performance measure. The City of San Mateo does not have a LOS standard for unsignalized intersections as specified in the 2030 General Plan. The City adopted Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines in August 2020 to include LOS standards for unsignalized intersections. According to the City of San Mateo standard, unsignalized intersections should maintain a LOS no worse than LOS E.

Table 2 presents the relationship of average delay to level of service for both signalized and unsignalized intersections.

GENERAL PLAN LOS POLICY STANDARD
Per the City’s General Plan Circulation Element Policy C 2.7 (Section E), all projects are required, at a minimum, to pay a transportation mitigation fee. The transportation mitigation fee is used to fund planned transportation improvements that are identified in the City of San Mateo Traffic Mitigation Program. The cost of the off-site improvements may be reimbursed by the City if a reimbursement program is established through the timeframe of the City of San Mateo’s current Traffic Mitigation Program or at the time when the improvement was initially scheduled. In addition to paying the transportation impact fee, a development project may be required to fund off-site circulation improvements which are needed as a result of project generated traffic if:

Signalized Intersections
a) The level of service at the intersection drops below mid-level LOS D (average delay of more than 45 seconds) when the project traffic is added, and
b) An intersection that operates below its level of service standard under the base year conditions experiences an increase in delay of four or more seconds, and c) The needed improvement of the intersection(s) is not funded in the applicable five-year City Capital Improvement Program from the date of application approval. 964 of 1252
October 26, 2022
San Mateo Draeger’s TIA Report Local Transportation Analysis Kittelson & Associates Page 11
Unsignalized Intersections
a) The level of service at the intersection drops from LOS E or better to LOS F (average delay of more than 50 seconds) when the project traffic is added, and b) An intersection that operates below its level of service standard under the base year conditions experiences an increase in delay of four or more seconds, and c) The needed improvement of the intersection(s) is not funded in the applicable five-year City Capital Improvement Program from the date of application approval.

Transportation studies typically evaluate whether unsignalized intersections are functioning adequately and whether signalization is warranted using the peak-hour volume signal warrant described in the California MUTCD.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

ROADWAY NETWORK
Regional access to the project is via State Route 82 (El Camino Real), and US 101 via 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue.

State Route 82 (El Camino Real) is a four-to six lane state highway in California, serving as a major northsouth corridor in the Peninsula. It extends from Interstate 880 in San Jose at the south end to Interstate 280 in San Francisco at the north end. It runs parallel to the Caltrain line along much of the route. Access to and from the project study area is provided via signalized intersections at 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue.

US 101 is a eight-to ten lane state highway in California, serving as the primary coastal route providing access to the San Francisco Bay Area. It is also the primary commuting route between San Francisco and San Jose. Access to and from the project study area is provided via interchanges at 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue to the northeast of the project site.
4th Avenue is an east-west, three to four-lane arterial roadway extending from Dartmouth Road on the west and transitioning into J Hart Clinton Drive in the east after crossing US 101. Arterial roads link residential and commercial districts and serve shorter through traffic needs. In the vicinity of the project site, 4th Avenue has three to four lanes. The road is directly adjacent to the project site and is proposed to provide direct access to the project site.
5th Avenue is an east-west, two to three-lane arterial roadway extending from Virginia Avenue on the west and transitioning into Amphlett Boulevard in the east. Arterial roads link residential and commercial districts and serve shorter through traffic needs. In the vicinity of the project site, 5th Avenue has two lanes. The road is directly adjacent to the project site and is proposed to provide direct access.

B Street is a north-south, two-lane collector roadway extending from Tilton Ave on the north and transitioning into South Boulevard on the south. Collector roads link arterial roads to local roads and serve some through traffic needs. In the vicinity of the project site, B Street has two lanes. The road is directly adjacent to the project site and is proposed to provide direct access.

Ellsworth Avenue is a north-south, two-lane collector roadway extending from Bellevue Avenue on the north to 5th Avenue on the south. Collector roads link arterial roads to local roads and serve some through traffic needs. In the vicinity of the project site, 5th Avenue has two lanes. The road is directly adjacent to the project site and is proposed to provide direct access. 965 of 1252

PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES AND AMENITIES
Pedestrian facilities consist of sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian signals at signalized intersections. In the project vicinity, sidewalks exist along both sides of 4th Avenue, 5th Avenue, B Street, and one side of Ellsworth Avenue through the site, providing pedestrian access to and from the project site. Marked crosswalks with pedestrian signal heads and push buttons are provided at the B Street/4th Avenue, Ellsworth Avenue/4th Avenue, and B Street/5th Avenue intersections. The overall network of sidewalks and crosswalks in the study area has excellent connectivity and provides pedestrians with safe routes to maneuver.

BICYCLE FACILITIES AND AMENITIES
Bicycle facilities are defined by the following four classes5:
 Class I (Multi-use Path) – Provides a completely separated facility designed for the exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians with crossing points minimized.  Class II (Bike Lane) – Provides a restricted right-of-way designated lane for the exclusive or semiexclusive use of bicycles with through travel by motor vehicles or pedestrians prohibited, but with crossflows by pedestrians and motorists permitted.
 Class III (Bike Route/Bicycle Boulevard) – Bike route provide signage and permanent markings on low-stress roadways to increase driver awareness of people biking. No exclusive right of way is provided. Bicycle boulevards prioritize bicycle through-travel and use traffic calming to slow vehicle traffic and maintain low motor vehicle volumes. These routes are often applied on quiet streets and through residential neighborhoods.6
 Class IV (Separated Bike Lane) – Provides a restricted right-of-way designated lane for the exclusive use of bicyclists that is separated by a vertical element to provide further separation from motor vehicle traffic.

The existing and proposed7 bicycle routes within the study area are described below. The existing bicycle network is shown in Figure 7.

B Street – There are currently no bicycle facilities provided on B Street through the San Mateo central business district. A buffered bike lane (Class II) is proposed along B Street from 5th Avenue south until the road transitions into South Boulevard.
5th Avenue – There are currently no bicycle facilities provided on 5th Avenue through the San Mateo Central Business District. The 2020 Bicycle Master Plan proposes upgrading the corridor from Dartmouth Road to Claremont Street to a bike lane (Class II) and Claremont Street to Amphlett Boulevard to a bicycle boulevard (Class III).
3rd Avenue – There are currently no bicycle facilities provided on 3rd Avenue through the San Mateo Central Business District. Notably, bike lanes exist in both directions west of Dartmouth Road, but they are not connected to the central business district. The 2020 Bicycle Master Plan proposes making that connection from Dartmouth Road to El Camino Real with a bike lane (Class II) and El Camino Real to the US-101 interchange to a separated bike lane (Class IV). 5 As detailed in Chapter 1000 of the Highway Design Manual (Caltrans, 2015). 6 San Mateo Bicycle Master Plan (2020), https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/3944/Bicycle-Master-Plan-2020 7 As proposed in City of San Mateo Bicycle Master Plan, 2020. 966 of 1252

October 26, 2022
San Mateo Draeger’s TIA Report Local Transportation Analysis Kittelson & Associates Page 14
Laurel Avenue – There is currently a Class II bike lane provided south of 5th Avenue on Laurel Avenue. This is notable because it is the only current existing bicycle infrastructure in close proximity to the site. The 2020 Bicycle Master Plan does not propose any upgrades or changes to the existing configuration.

TRANSIT SERVICE
The existing transit service to the study area is provided by the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) and Caltrain.

SamTrans Service
The project site has five bus routes nearby (Route 397, 250, 292, 295, and ECR), operated by SamTrans with the nearest bus stops located at the intersections of 4th Avenue/Ellsworth Avenue and 4th Avenue/San Mateo Drive. Three additional bus routes (school-day only) Route 53, 55, and 59 operate in the vicinity of the project site. The bus routes that provide the peak-hour services near the project site are described in Table 3 and are shown in Figure 8. Access to transit facilities will not change with the proposed site plan.

Caltrain Service
Commuter rail service between San Francisco and Gilroy is provided by Caltrain. The project site is located approximately 0.4 miles away from the San Mateo Downtown Caltrain Station. Currently, Caltrain provides northbound and southbound service at this station at a half-hour frequency during the weekday and weekend AM and PM commute hours, midday, and at nights. Per the City of San Mateo Rail Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Plan8, the proposed project site is an ideal location for a transit village. 8San Mateo Rail Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Plan, 2005. https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/1899/Rail-CorridorTransit-Oriented-Developme , Accessed 2022. 968 of 1252

EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS
The nearest fire station (San Mateo Fire Department Station #21) is located approximately 0.2 miles west of the project site at 120 S Ellsworth Ave. The proposed plans indicate that the bulb outs at each intersection surrounding the project site can accommodate the turning radius of a fire truck.

INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE
The estimated traffic volumes due to COVID-19 conditions for four of the study intersections and collected traffic counts at Laurel Avenue/5th Avenue, lane configurations, and traffic controls for each study intersection were used to assess the Existing Conditions LOS and delay. The projected turning movement volumes for each peak hour under Existing Conditions are provided in Figure 10 and Figure 11. Detailed calculation worksheets for the Existing Conditions are provided in Appendix B. These delay and LOS values can be compared to the City of San Mateo thresholds outlined in the Circulation Element of the 2030 General Plan, discussed in the previous section.

As mentioned in the previous section, intersection analyses for the four study intersections were conducted using the operational methodologies outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)6th Edition methodology, calculated with Synchro 11 software.

Table 4 demonstrates that all intersections operate to the City’s standards under existing conditions for both the AM and PM peak hours.

BASELINE (OPENING YEAR) CONDITIONS
This section presents Baseline (Opening Year) traffic conditions, which are defined as conditions just prior to the completion of the proposed project. Traffic volumes for the Baseline (Opening Year) Conditions comprise volumes from existing traffic counts and traffic generated by other approved developments in the project vicinity.

TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
The Baseline (Opening Year) Conditions analysis assumes the same lane configuration and traffic control at all the study intersections as the existing conditions, as shown in Figure 9.

INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE
Traffic volumes for the Baseline (Opening Year) Conditions were calculated using the existing estimated traffic volumes, shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, plus the traffic volumes generated by new developments within the site vicinity. Through conversations with the city, the new developments added to the existing volumes are as follows:
 406 E 3rd Avenue Office & Residential Mixed-Use Development  480 E 4th Avenue Residential Development
 405 E 4th Avenue (mixed-use office and residential)
The projected turning movement volumes for each peak hour under Baseline (Opening Year) Conditions are provided in Figure 12 and Figure 13. Table 5 shows the Baseline (Opening Year) intersection operations for the AM and PM peak hours, respectively. Detailed calculation worksheets for the Baseline (Opening Year) Conditions are provided in Appendix C. All intersections operate to the City’s standards under Baseline (Opening Year) conditions under both the AM and PM peak hours.

PROJECT TRAVEL DEMAND

TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation is a key consideration for determining local effects of the project on the transportation network. Trip generation rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition were used to estimate the number of trips the mixed-use proposed project would generate. ITE trip estimates are tied to specific land use codes. The ITE land use codes found to be most applicable to the Project are listed below.
• Supermarket (ITE 850)
• General Office Building (ITE 710)
• Affordable Housing (ITE 223)
In addition, this Project is assumed to be in the ‘Dense Multi-Use Urban’ context, considered by ITE to be an area that has diverse and interacting complementary land uses with good pedestrian connectivity, and convenient and frequent transit service. This is consistent with the Transit Oriented Development overlay and CBD zoning for the project site for which the San Mateo Municipal code promotes mixed-uses and pedestrian activity.

As summarized in Table 6, the proposed project is estimated to generate 169 vehicle trips (120 inbound, 49 outbound) during the weekday AM peak hour and 201 vehicle trips (70 inbound, 131 outbound) during the weekday PM peak hour. The existing Draeger’s supermarket is estimated to generate 304 vehicle trips (167 inbound, 137 outbound) during the weekday AM peak hour and 432 vehicle trips (216 inbound, 216 outbound) during the weekday PM peak hour. The proposed project generates less AM and PM peak hour trips when compared to the AM and PM peak hour trips currently being generated by the existing Draeger’s supermarket.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
The vehicle trip distribution assumptions are based on the existing counts and proximity to the major arterials, state routes, and freeways. As noted above, the proposed project would generate less peak hour trips with a reduction of 135 trips in the morning peak hour and 231 trips in the afternoon peak hour when compared to the trips generated from the existing site. The driveways for the existing site are situated on Ellsworth Avenue, and the driveway for the proposed project site is situated on 5th Avenue. Vehicle traffic going to/from the existing and proposed project site are distributed at each intersection according to the turning movement proportions consistent with the existing counts and the vehicle trip distribution percentages are determined for AM and PM peak hour. The complete project travel demand memorandum submitted to the City is provided in Appendix A. 978 of 1252

BASELINE PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS

INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE
Traffic volumes for the Baseline (Opening Year) Plus Project Conditions were developed by combining the Baseline estimated traffic volumes with the project only volumes. The resulting Baseline Plus Project turning movement volumes are shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15. Table 7 shows the Baseline Plus Project intersection operations for the AM and PM peak hours, respectively. Detailed calculation worksheets are provided in Appendix D. All intersections operate to the City’s standards under Baseline Plus Project conditions under both the AM and PM peak hours.

CUMULATIVE CONDITIONS
This section presents the anticipated Cumulative conditions for the study intersections for the year 2040 and the effect the addition of the project trips would have on them.

LAND USE DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION NETWORK CHANGES The C/CAG San Mateo County Travel Demand Model was used to develop the future volume forecast for Cumulative Conditions. The model includes future development throughout the region. The 2040 cumulative forecasts are consistent with regional growth totals projected by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Plan Bay Area9. Therefore, the traffic forecasts reflect traffic reflecting both growth in 222 East 4th Avenue mixed use project and increases in traffic volumes on State Route 82 and US 101 due to regional growth. Base year (Year 2019) and future year (Year 2040) forecasts were extracted from the model and linearly interpolated to develop growth between the estimated existing traffic counts (2019) and the current model horizon year (2040). The intersection lane configurations under cumulative conditions were assumed to be the same as described under the existing conditions.

INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE
The projected turning movement volumes for each peak hour under Cumulative Conditions are provided in Figure 16 and Figure 17. Based on these volumes and lane configurations, the cumulative operations at the study intersections are shown in Table 8. Detailed calculation worksheets for the Cumulative Conditions are provided in Appendix E. All intersections operate to the City’s standards under Cumulative conditions under both the AM and PM peak hours.

CUMULATIVE PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS
This section discusses the effect of proposed project on traffic operations under Cumulative Conditions.

Traffic volumes for the Cumulative Plus Project Conditions were developed using the same additive approach used for the Baseline (Opening Year) Plus Project volumes.

INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE
Based on these volumes and lane configurations, the Cumulative Plus Project volumes are shown in Figure 18 and Figure 19 and the operations at the study intersections are shown in Table 9. Detailed calculation worksheets for the Cumulative Plus Project Conditions are provided in Appendix F. Based on the significance criteria previously described the proposed project would not cause operational deficiencies at any of the study intersections.

ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
This section describes additional transportation analysis related to site access and circulation of the proposed project based on a review of the proposed site plan. This section includes analysis of the following characteristics and scenarios:
 Vehicular access and on-site circulation
o Vehicle parking
o Driveway sight distance
 Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Transit access
 Loading zone and garbage truck circulation and access  Emergency vehicle access
 95th percentile queue analysis
The analysis in the following sections, while informed by adopted State and local standards, is driven by professional judgement. Citations are provided where applicable and available. References to the proposed project characteristics and geometric features are per the most recent site plan published February 2022.10

VEHICULAR ACCESS AND ON-SITE CIRCULATION
Site access and on-site circulation were evaluated using commonly accepted transportation design, planning principles and professional judgment. The site access and circulation were evaluated to determine the adequacy of site’s driveways with regard to traffic volumes, delays, vehicle queues, geometric design, site distance, and truck access. In general, the site plan shows adequate site access at the project driveways and circulation within the site.

The proposed project would replace the existing Draeger’s market with a mixed-use building. The project proposes to construct a parking garage with a 24 ft wide driveway fronting the north side of 5th Avenue.

The drive aisle in the garage level would be 24 ft wide, which is adequate for two-way circulation of vehicular traffic and complies with the width requirement for two-way turning aisles or ramps.

In detail, the project proposes to construct a three-level parking garage with ground floor including 12,392 square feet of covered parking area and two levels (89,519 square feet) below grade for a total of 221 parking spaces. Vehicle parking will include a mix of compact, standard, accessible (standard), accessible (van), and EV charging stations. Angled parking will be retained along the project frontage on Ellsworth Avenue and 4th Avenue. There is angled on-street parking on the south side on 5th Avenue which is being restriped to parallel stalls. A review of City Standard Drawings for parking stalls11 found that the project’s proposed parking dimensions are in compliance with City specifications for accessible, compact, and standard stall types.

Vehicle Parking
As noted in a prior section in this report, the project is proposing to provide fewer spaces (221) than minimally required by City parking regulations (320). A parking study conducted concluded that the Project is expected to generate demand for 208 parking spaces, indicating that the parking provided at the Project site will meet parking demand.

October 26, 2022
San Mateo Draeger’s TIA Report Local Transportation Analysis Kittelson & Associates Page 35
Driveway Sight Distance
The project proposes to construct a parking garage with a 24 ft wide driveway fronting the north side of 5th Avenue. This width is in compliance with City standards (12’) when serving more than two off-street parking spaces (Chapter 27.64). The 5th Avenue roadway segments that approach the garage ingress/egress do not have severe grade or curves.

Sight distance is the continuous length of the roadway ahead, visible to the roadway user. Sight distance requirements vary depending on roadway speeds. The posted limit on 5th Avenue is 25 mph (i.e., design speed of 30 mph). Per the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Highway Design Manual 405.1 (2)(d), the corner sight distance requirements do not apply to urban driveways, unless they are signalized.

Since this project proposes an unsignalized driveway, per the Caltrans Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD 2014, Revision 6), a clearance of 6 feet measured from the curb return should be provided at alleys and driveways (Section 3B.19). No on-street parking is proposed on 5th Avenue, leaving clear sight lines into and out of the driveway.

This project proposes project driveways that least interfere with traffic movements and vulnerable users per City off-street parking standards (Chapter 27.64). The project proposes to plant Silverleaf Oak trees along 5th Avenue, including on either side of the garage entrance and exit. Landscaping must be maintained properly to ensure it does not impede roadway visibility. There are no existing bike lanes on the roadway, however the 2020 Bicycle Master Plan proposes a class II bike lane which would pass by the project driveway. No major conflicts and concerns pertaining to driveway access are evident in the proposed site plan.

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
Pedestrians can access the site from entries on Ellsworth Avenue (to the office), B Street (to the public parking, residences, or retail use), or through the 4th Ave building frontage (retail use). The project site proposes sidewalks along all the parcel boundaries as well as a pedestrian plaza and parklets at 4th Avenue and Ellsworth Avenue. The project would not generate activities that would interfere with access or circulation for people walking to, from, or passing by the site.

BICYCLE ACCESS
The proposed project would promote accessibility for people biking to the site by providing bicycle parking and a bike lane (Class II) along both sides of 5th Avenue between Ellsworth Avenue and B Street. The project would not generate activities that would interfere with access or circulation for people biking.

BIKE PARKING
The project proposes to provide 38 bicycle parking spaces which includes short- and long-term parking split among the different parcel land uses. A 292 SF bike room will be provided on the ground floor and a 134 SF bike storage facility is located on the fifth floor. Bike racks are proposed along the site on all four sides of the building.
 Long Term Bike Parking
o Commercial – 10
o Residential – 10
o Retail – 1
 Short Term Bike Parking
o Commercial – 5
o Residential – 1
o Retail – 14
989 of 1252
October 26, 2022
San Mateo Draeger’s TIA Report Local Transportation Analysis Kittelson & Associates Page 36
The ground floor bike room is accessible from the Ellsworth Avenue entrance, separating cyclists from vehicle traffic in the garage and minimizing conflicts between the modes.

TRANSIT ACCESS
Access to transit facilities and services outlined in the Existing Conditions section will not change with the proposed site plan.

HAZARDS AND EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS
Loading Zone and Garbage Trucks
The project proposes to expand the existing 105 ft commercial loading zone on B Street to 120 ft. The project site plans show three trash rooms: a grocery trash room with access on B Street, an office/cafeteria trash room on Ellsworth Avenue, and a residential trash room. Garbage trucks would access trash collector areas via B Street and Ellsworth Avenue.

The project should ensure that access to and from the trash area on B street for garbage trucks does not create or increase conflict with bikes through inadequate site lines or staging within the bike lane. In addition, trash bins should not encroach the public right of way, including the bike lane. The trash bins should be removed from the public right-of-way immediately after garbage pickup as to not impact AM or PM peak hour traffic conditions.

Emergency Vehicle Access
The nearest fire station (San Mateo Fire Department Station #21) is located approximately 0.2 miles west of the project site at 120 S Ellsworth Ave. The proposed plans indicate that the bulb outs at each intersection surrounding the project site can accommodate the turning radius of a fire truck. Per City requirements, all driveways and drive aisles are at least 20 feet wide and would accommodate Emergency Vehicle access.

Therefore, smaller emergency trucks and vans would also be able to access the parking garage. 95TH PERCENTILE QUEUE ANALYSIS
In addition to the operations analysis, Kittelson also reviewed the changes in 95th percentile queue lengths for the study intersections. Queue lengths are typically evaluated as part of the network-level or designrelated considerations (i.e., to gauge interaction between nearby intersections). The 95th percentile queue lengths are reported to provide an appropriate storage for all but the worst 5% of traffic scenarios. This report provides queue lengths, which are derived from the outputs of the Synchro traffic analysis software and are representative of the 95th percentile traffic volumes12. The 95th percentile queue length worksheets are provided in Appendix G.

Table 10 through Table 12 show the 95th percentile queue lengths for the Existing, Baseline (Opening Year), Baseline (Opening Year) Plus Project, Cumulative, and Cumulative Plus Project conditions. Movements where the expected 95th percentile queue length exceeds storage capacity during the weekday peak hours are highlighted in grey in each of the tables shown below.

Storage capacity is exceeded for the following scenarios:
 E 4th Ave/B Street, EB and SB approaches – Cumulative Conditions (AM)  E 4th Ave/B Street, EB and SB approaches – Cumulative Conditions (PM)  E 4th Ave/B Street, EB and SB approaches – Cumulative Plus Project Conditions (AM) 12 Microsimulation of queues using SimTraffic, another analysis software package, was not performed because this model is typically used in the design phase of a project. For a planning level study, industry practice is to use the Synchro outputs. 990 of 1252

 E 4th Ave/B Street, EB and SB approaches – Cumulative Plus Project Conditions (PM)  E 4th Ave/Ellsworth Avenue, EB approach – Cumulative Conditions (PM)  E 4th Ave/Ellsworth Avenue, EB approach – Cumulative Plus Project Conditions (PM) Although storage capacity is exceeded in these scenarios, queue lengths do not increase with respect to plus project scenarios when compared to no project scenarios. Thus, the proposed project does not impact the status quo.

Technical Memorandum
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. (Kittelson) prepared this memorandum for the 222 East 4th Avenue Project at the existing Draeger’s site in San Mateo, California (Project). The Project proposes to redevelop the existing Draeger Market into a mixed-use building with office, residential, and retail space. Site access will be accommodated for personal and delivery vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians.

Project Description
Lane Partners is proposing to replace the existing 60,965 square feet Draeger’s market located at 222 East 4th Avenue with a 5-story, approximately 152,533 square feet mixed-use building with two levels of below grade parking. The building would consist of approximately 104,554 square feet of office space, 17,658 square feet of retail space, and 8,997 square feet of residential space for 10 below-market-rate units at the lower income level. The retail floor would be located on the ground floor, the office space would be spread throughout the first four floors, and the residential space would be split between the ground floor (i.e., residential lobby/elevator) and the fifth floor living areas. The ground floor would also include 12,392 square feet of covered parking area and two levels (89,519 square feet) below grade for a total of 221 parking spaces. The Project site plan is shown in Figure 1.

The Project site is in downtown San Mateo and is zoned as Central Business District/Residential Overlay District – Mixed Use (CBD). The site is also in a designated “Transit Oriented Development” area as it is within a half mile of the San Mateo Caltrain station.

Kittelson obtained the multimodal intersection turning movement counts at three of the five study intersections from the City for the weekday a.m. (7-9 am) and p.m. (4-6 pm) peak period when the existing project site generated trips. The multimodal intersection turning movement counts for the remaining two study intersections were obtained using the Streetlight data. These turning movement counts obtained from Streetlight data were adjusted so that the intersection entry and exit volumes match the adjacent counts collected at the other study intersections.

ITE DEVELOPMENT LAND USE CODES
Trip generation is a key consideration for determining local effects of the project on the transportation network. Trip generation rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition were used to estimate the number of trips the mixed-use proposed project would generate. ITE trip estimates are tied to specific land use codes. The ITE land use codes found to be most applicable to the Project are listed below.
• Supermarket (ITE 850)
• General Office Building (ITE 710)
• Affordable Housing (ITE 223)
In addition, this Project is assumed to be in the ‘Dense Multi-Use Urban’ context, considered by ITE to be an area that has diverse and interacting complementary land uses with good pedestrian connectivity, and convenient and frequent transit service. This is consistent with the Transit Oriented Development overlay and CBD zoning for the project site for which the San Mateo Municipal code promotes mixed-uses and pedestrian activity. Table 2 below shows the trip generation rates used for the analysis.

TRIP GENERATION CALCULATION
Trip generation estimates for this Project took into consideration three types of trips:
• Primary or New: These are the trips whose specific purpose was to visit the site. Primary trip rates were generated using ITE Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition. • Pass-by: Drivers already on their way to a destination that stop temporarily at the Project Site without a major roadway diversion are considered making “pass-by” trips. Supermarket 850 is the only land use code in ITE Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition for which a pass-by rate was supplied.

The 24% average pass-by rate for this land use was only applicable for Weekday PM Peak, resulting in a reduction of 39 trips.
• Internal: Trips that occur between land-uses on a multi-use project site and which can be made without using the off-site street network are considered “internal trips”. Internal trips for this project can be made by walking between uses. Internal capture was estimated using methodology from NCHRP Report 684 – Enhancing Internal Trip Capture for Mixed-Use Developments.

The existing Draeger’s market was included as existing trip credits as it currently generates trips to and from the site. Pass-by trips were also applied to the existing supermarket use.

Table 3 provides a summary of the proposed project’s trip generation. As shown in the table, the net new trip generation would be a reduction of 3,645 average daily weekday trips with a reduction of 135 new trips occurring the morning peak and a reduction of 231 new trips occurring the afternoon peak.

Vehicle Trip Distribution
The vehicle trip distribution assumptions are based on the existing counts and proximity to the major arterials and freeways. As shown above, the proposed project would generate less peak hour trips with a reduction of 135 trips in the morning peak hour and 231 trips in the afternoon peak hour when compared to 1001 of 1252
August 22, 2022 Page 6
San Mateo Draeger’s Traffic Impact Analysis – Project Travel Demand DRAFT Kittelson & Associates, Inc.
the trips generated from the existing site. The driveways for the existing site are situated on Ellsworth Avenue, and the driveway for the proposed project site is situated on 5th Avenue. Vehicle traffic going to/from the existing and proposed project site are distributed at each intersection according to the turning movement proportions consistent with the existing counts. Existing project vehicle trip distribution percentages are illustrated in Figure 2 and Figure 3 for AM and PM, and proposed project vehicle trip distribution percentages are illustrated in Figure 4 and Figure 5 for AM and PM, respectively. Table 5 and Table 6 illustrate the existing plus project intersection volumes during the weekday AM and weekday PM peak hours, respectively.
