SUBJECT

BACKGROUND
On August 24, 2017, the Stadium Authority approved the Harvey Rose Audit titled “Comprehensive Audit of Stadium”. Audit recommendation 1.Q states that “the Stadium Authority Board should direct the Executive Director to require that all meetings, including the date and purpose of the meetings, between Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff be documented and reported quarterly or annually to the Stadium Authority Board.” Staff has implemented this audit recommendation on a quarterly basis.
At the August 25, 2020 meeting, the Stadium Authority Board provided additional direction to staff to prepare minutes for all future Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff meetings.
DISCUSSION
In accordance with the Board approved audit recommendation, meetings between Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff for the period of October 1 to December 31, 2023 are listed below. The attendees and topics discussed at these meetings are included in this report as Attachment 1.

7. Parking Stall Count – Mission College (Stadium Manager) Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff discussed a pending proposal for parking at Mission College.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Adoption of a Resolution Ordering the Abatement of a Nuisance on 228 Identified Parcels Consisting of Growing Weeds in Accordance with City Code Chapter 8.15 and in Association with the County Weed Abatement Program, for 2023-2024
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City Council, on February 23, 1976, approved a partnership with Santa Clara County to administer the Weed Abatement program. Over the past forty-seven years, the County's Department of Consumer & Environmental Protection Agency has efficiently managed the program, yielding satisfactory results for Santa Clara residents. The program enjoys broad community support and complaints are rare. Complaints that are received are expeditiously addressed by County staff. This collaboration has significantly reduced the City's costs associated with weed abatement.
Aligned with the California Government Code, Santa Clara Municipal Code Chapter 8.15 outlines the procedures for weed abatement. Property owners are mandated to conduct timely weed abatement activities on their properties. Despite notification, a relatively small number of property owners fail to maintain their properties in accordance with the County’s minimum fire safety standards (Attachment 3). In such instances, the City authorizes the Santa Clara County Department of Consumer & Environmental Protection Agency to inspect, remove, and destroy weeds on non-compliant parcels or lots of land.
The County Weed Abatement program is solely funded on program fees charged to property owners by the County of Santa Clara. Typically, a property is placed in the program Commencement Report by a County Weed Abatement program inspector who identifies a potential fire hazard during inspections within the City. The County can also receive referrals for potential hazards from community members or through service requests from City staff. A County inspector documents the hazard(s) present, photographs the hazard, and records the location of the parcel with GPS to ensure accurate property identification. Once parcels are put on the Commencement Report, they will remain in the program for a 3-year term to ensure ongoing compliance.
Official warning notices to property owners are not part of the County’s program, however homeowners on the Commencement Report are provided with an opportunity to abate prior to the County taking action. All properties placed on the Commencement Report will receive a program letter and will be charged a basic inspection fee. If the parcel complies with the County’s minimum fire safety standards, no further action is required beyond payment of the basic inspection fee. If the property is found not in compliance at the time of inspection, the property owner will be charged an City of Santa Clara Printed on 2/15/2024Page 1 of 3

additional failed inspection fee and will receive a final courtesy notice as a reminder to abate the identified hazard(s) within 15 days. The 15-day notification and/or program letters are sent to the legal address on file with the Tax Assessor’s Office. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep this information current. If the property owner does not abate the identified hazards, the County contractor will complete the work. The property owner is responsible for paying the contractor’s costs and all applicable County administrative fees. All fees are included in the next property tax bill as a special assessment.
The County's contractor utilizes environmentally conscious methods, limiting the use of mowing and/or hand tools to abate hazards. The partnership with Santa Clara County for weed abatement has been integral to maintaining the safety and aesthetics of our community.
DISCUSSION
The Weed Abatement program serves a vital role in preventing risks associated with vegetative overgrowth and the accumulation of combustible materials. For 2023, the Weed Abatement Program Commencement Report identified a total of 123 non-compliant parcels or lots. Among these, 62 parcels necessitated inspection only, incurring a cost of $92 per parcel or lot, for a total of $5,704.
Additionally, 42 parcels failed an inspection, requiring administrative enforcement action at a cost of $611 per parcel or lot, for a total of $25,662. Nineteen (19) required physical abatement by the County’s contractor. The individual parcel abatement fees varied depending on the size of the parcel and the level of abatement. The total abatement costs for 2023 were $73,677.94. The cumulative charges assessed to City of Santa Clara property owners in 2023 totaled $105,043.94 (Attachment 5).
On January 30, 2024, the City Council passed a resolution declaring weeds a nuisance in alignment with Chapter 8.15 of the City Code and scheduling a Public Hearing for February 20, 2024, to allow citizens to express their concerns or objections to the 2024 Weed Abatement Commencement Report (Attachment 4). The Notice to Destroy Weeds and notice of this public hearing was published in the Santa Clara Weekly newspaper on February 7, 2024 and February 14, 2024 in accordance with SCCC 8.15.080 (Attachment 2).
For 2024, the County has identified 228 non-compliant parcels or lots of land in the City of Santa Clara that have been placed on the Commencement Report. In accordance with City Code Sections
8.15.050 and 8.15.060, the Fire Department is seeking Council approval to adopt a resolution ordering the abatement of a nuisance consisting of growing weeds for parcels within the City of Santa Clara (Attachment 1).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the actions being considered are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as the Weed Abatement Program is authorized by both state and local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment.

or removal of vegetative overgrowth and accumulated combustible materials, including administrative fees. These costs are assessed upon the lot or parcel of land from which vegetation or combustible materials have been destroyed or removed. Such costs shall constitute a lien upon said lots and will be collected upon the next year’s tax roll as a special assessment. In accordance with the 2022 Amended and Restated agreement, if the tax assessments are insufficient to cover the costs of the program, the County will invoice the City for their pro-rata share of the programs’ shortfall each December.
The County has been successful in recovering costs incurred to date, indicating effective financial management. If a shortfall were to occur, the Fire Department would cover the City’s pro-rata share costs in its Community Risk Reduction Division’s Operating Budget.

The Santa Clara County Weed
Abatement Program
The Santa Clara County Consumer and Environmental Protection Agency and your city are working together to protect your community from fire. We need your help. Please read and follow the directions provided in this brochure regarding fire prevention on your property. The purpose of the Weed Abatement Program is to prevent fire hazards posed by vegetative growth and the accumulation of combustible materials.
The Weed Abatement program is entirely funded from fees charged to residents. Fees will be assessed for any property in the program.
This is to cover the cost of the compliance inspection for the property. Properties that fail the compliance inspection will be charged a failed inspection fee, even if the resident completes the weed abatement. If the property requires abatement by the County contractor, the property owner will be responsible for the actual cost of abatement plus an administrative fee. Properties that meet and maintain the minimum fire safety standards will not be charged other than the annual fee.
Program staff annually inspect parcels at the beginning of the fire season, which is typically in March or April depending on your jurisdiction. If the parcel is not in compliance at the time of inspection, the property owner will be charged a failed inspection fee, and the owner will be sent a courtesy notice as a reminder to abate the weeds. If the weeds are not abated by the property owner, the work will be complet ed by the County contractor. The property owner will pay the contractor’s fees plus a County administrative fee. All fees will be included in your property tax bill.
Our Goal Is Voluntary Compliance
Property Owner’s Responsiblilities
• Do not allow a fire hazard to exist on your property. The Minimum Fire Safety Standards (MFSS) in this brochure give you guidelines to follow in order to maintain your property and protect against a fire hazard. Please contact our office if you need guidan ce or have any questions regarding the requirements!
• Make arrangements to have your property maintained throughout the year. Contractors can be found in the yellow pages. You may choose to have the County contractor maintain your property. A current price list is included in your packet.
• Please complete and return the Reply Form provided in your mailing packet by the date on the form. Indicate your preference regarding performance of weed abatement services.
Program Staff Responsibilities
• Weed Abatement Inspectors will perform periodic inspections on all parcels included in the Santa Clara County Weed Abatement Program. Properties that fail the compliance inspection will be charged a failed inspection fee, even if the resident completes the weed abatement.
• Inspectors will order the County contractor to perform all necessary abatement work on any parcel where the MFSS are not met. An attempt will be made to give the owner a courtesy notice prior to releasing the work order.
• The County contractor uses several methods of abatement including discing and handwork. The property owner is free to select whatever method they choose, provided the MFSS of all federal, state and local laws are met.
• The Weed Abatement Program will place inspection costs and the charges for County contractor services plus a County administrative fee on the property owner’s tax bill during the next fiscal year.
Burrowing Owls
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why have I received an Abatement Notice?
A. Typically, a property is placed on the program if a Weed Abatement Inspector identified a potential fire hazard on the property. Fire Departments and other agencies also submit complaints to the Weed Abatement Program.
Q. What is required of me now that I am in the Program? A. All property owners are required to maintain their property free of fire hazards throughout the year.
Q. The grasses planted on my property are fire resistant. Are they exempt from the Weed Abatement program?
A. No. Even grasses that possess some fire resistant qualities are not fire proof, and they can add fuel to any site that is subject to a fire. Additionally, fire resistant grasses are rarely found in a pure, homogenous stand but rather are usually found to occur mixed with other common introduced annual grasses that are highly flammable and hazardous in a fire event. Finally, many grasses occur in Santa Clara County and species identification is difficult in the field, especially after the spring when the reproductive portions required for identification have dried and dispersed. Weed Abatement Inspectors can only focus on the presence of grasses and weeds on your property and the Minimum Fire Safety Standards, and not on grass species identification. Therefore, all grasses are required to be below 6 inches in height.
Q. What is the SC County Weed Abatement Program?
A. This is a monitoring program and our primary objective is voluntary compliance. See the first two paragraphs of this brochure for further specifics.
These small owls nest in abandoned ground squirrel
burrows. Discing collapses the burrows and kills the young.
These owls are listed as a state Species of Special Concern and are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. If you suspect burrowing owls on your property you must use another form of weed abatement such as mowing or weed-
eating. If you request the County perform abatement
services, please notify program staff or your City if burrowing owls are known to exist on your property.
More FAQ:
Q. How long will I be on the Program?
A. Your property will remain on the Program for three years. If no hazards are found during that time, your property may be removed from the program.
Q. How much will this cost me?
A. There will be an annual fee to cover the cost of the compliance inspection. If the parcel does not meet the MFSS when it is first inspected in the spring, or if work is required by the County contractor, you will be charged additional fees. Our goal is to ensure that the MFSS are met at the lowest possible cost to the property owner.
Q. How will I be billed?
A. Any charges for the inspection and any abatement work performed will appear as a special assessment on your next property tax bill.
Q. Why have you performed work on my property while the vegetation is still green?
A. Grass, weeds or piles of combustible debris have been declared a public nuisance by your jurisdiction. Abating fire hazards in the spring minimize s the volume of combustible material before the hazards increase and dries out completely during the peak fire season.
Q. Will you notify me prior to beginning abatement work? A. Property owners are responsible for preventing fire hazards on their property. If the MFSS have been met, but further work is necessary, you will receive notice prior to the County contractor performing the work. If the MFSS have not been met, an attempt will be made to give the owner a courtesy notice prior to initial abatement.
Q. Where can I find someone to provide abatement
services?
A. Weed Abatement contractors can be found in the Yellow Pages under “Weed Control Services” or “Discing Services”.
You may have the County contractor perform the necessary work; see your mailing packet for a current price list as administrative costs are charged.
Q. How can I get additional information or assistance
regarding the specific requirements for my property?
A. Weed Abatement Inspectors are available to assist you and answer your questions. Please call our Customer Service line at (408) 282-3145 to schedule a consultation with program staff or to obtain additional information.
Q. I have Grazing Animals do I need to perform abatement? A. Grazing animals do not absolve you of your responsibilities to provide a fire safe condition on your property. You will need to check with our office to determine if grazing is adequate or if additional work is required.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Action on a Vesting Tentative Map for the Proposed Development of a 198-Unit Housing Development with Four Commercial Condominiums at 5185 Lafayette Street
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
The Applicant, Ensemble Investments, requests approval of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (File No. PLN23-00216) to subdivide one existing parcel into 198 residential condominium units, four commercial condominium units, one residential parking condominium unit, and one commercial parking condominium unit. The Vesting Tentative Map supports the development of a 21-story, 198- unit multifamily
residential development. A one-story industrial building with surface parking currently occupies the subject site.
The site is zoned Transit Neighborhood (TN) and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Transit Neighborhood, which allows for a residential density of 100 to 350 dwelling units per acre. It is also within the Tasman East Specific Plan as identified in the General Plan.
The Architectural Review of the 21-story multifamily building was approved at the Development Review Hearing (DRH) on October 18, 2023, finding the project consistent with the applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Tasman East Specific Plan.
On December 6, 2023, the Planning Commission reviewed the application for the Subdivision Map Vesting Tentative Map and made a recommendation of approval to the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Tentative Subdivision Map applications are reviewed for General Plan and Zoning Code consistency and conformance with the Subdivision Map Act. Planning Commission review and a recommendation to the City Council are required under Santa Clara City Code (SCCC) section 17.05.300(g) for Subdivision Map applications. Tentative Maps are ultimately approved by the City Council.
A “Vesting” Tentative Map is approved in the same manner. Under the Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code § 66474(a)), a developer has the right to indicate that a map application will be proceeding as a “vesting” map, which gives the developer a right, upon map approval, to develop in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect on the date in which the developer’s application is complete. The rights afforded by a vesting tentative map expire on the same timeframe as a regular tentative map, if the developer does not City of Santa Clara Printed on 2/15/2024Page 1 of 3

obtain all required discretionary approvals within two years, although the City Council has the discretion to extend the tentative map by another three years. Once the City approves a final map, the rights are vested for a period of one additional year, and that period is automatically extended during the application period or active period of a building permit.
The Map Act requires all subdivision maps to be consistent with the General Plan. Staff confirmed that the proposed subdivision will not result in any inconsistencies with the General Plan land use designation for the property, Building Code, or other applicable requirements. The City’s Subdivision Clearance Committee reviewed the proposed Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and determined the project to be complete and in conformance with the Subdivision Map Act on June 20, 2023. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the approved site plan, improvements, private street, surface parking, landscaped open space areas, and associated utilities on the project site for the development of as set forth in File No. PLN22-00131. For reference, Attachment 5 includes the October 18, 2023 Development Review Hearing (DRH) staff report.
For subdivisions resulting in five or more parcels, the City Council reviews applications after Planning Commission recommendation, pursuant to SCCC section 17.05.300(g). On December 6, 2023, the Planning Commission reviewed the application for the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map. Attachment 1 includes the Planning Commission staff report. There were two public speakers at the public hearing: a representative from the Carpenter’s Union and the adjacent property owner. The adjacent property owner, Ron Patrick, submitted a comment letter in advance of the hearing expressing concern with maintained access to shared easements. The public comment letter is included as Attachment 2. The Tentative Map document indicates that all shared access easements will be maintained.
The Commission voted 6-0-1 (Commissioner Huang absent) to recommend to the City Council approval of the Tentative Map with the following recommended language added as a condition of approval:
· The City encourages the Owner and any contractors or subcontractors working on the project to evaluate hiring local labor, hiring from or contributing to approved and accredited apprenticeship programs, increasing resources for labor compliance, and providing living wages during the development of this Project.
Staff has not included this additional language in the proposed conditions of approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Addendum to the Tasman East Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and adopted at the October 18, 2023 DRH for the 198-unit residential development. The proposed Vesting Tentative Map was contemplated by the Addendum, is consistent with the approved project, and would not result in a new impact on the environment or significantly increase the severity of any previously identified impact. Accordingly, no further environmental review under CEQA is necessary in connection with approval of the Vesting Tentative Map.

Clara City Code (SCCC) section 17.05.300(g) for Subdivision Map applications. Vesting Tentative Maps are ultimately approved by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Subdivision Map applications are reviewed for General Plan and Zoning Code consistency, and conformance with the Subdivision Map Act. Under the Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code § 66474(a)), a developer has the right to indicate that a map application will be proceeding as a “vesting” map, which gives the developer a right, upon map approval, to develop in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect on the date in which the developer’s application is complete.
Because the site has already received architectural review approval, the Vesting Tentative Map must be consistent with that approval, as well as certain applicable zoning requirements. The Architectural Review (File No. PLN2018-13441) of the 198-unit development on the subject site was approved at the DRH on October 18, 2023.
At the DRH, the City made findings that the project is consistent with the objective standards of the TN - Transit Neighborhood Zoning District, which is consistent with the Transit Neighborhood General Plan designation.
The Subdivision Map Act requires that all subdivision maps be consistent with the General Plan, Government Code § 66474(a). The Architectural Review approval determined that the project was consistent with the General Plan. The staff report for the DRH on October 18, 2023 is provided as Attachment 3 for reference.
The proposed Vesting Tentative Map was reviewed by the City’s Subdivision Clearance Committee and determined to be complete on June 20, 2023. Staff confirmed that the proposed subdivision will not result in any inconsistencies with the General Plan and zoning designations for the property, Building Code, or other applicable requirements.
Approval of the requested Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map will facilitate the development of a project consistent with the City’s Zoning Code and General Plan, thereby advancing the establishment of a new, transit-oriented residential neighborhood in proximity to jobs and in partial fulfilment of the City’s goals for the production of new housing. Findings for approval are provided in Attachment 1. Conditions of Approval have been prepared and are provided as Attachment 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Addendum to the Tasman East Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and adopted at the October 18, 2023 DRH for the 198-unit residential development. The proposed Vesting Tentative Map was contemplated by the Addendum, is consistent with the approved project, and would not result in a new impact on the environment or significantly increase the severity of any previously identified impact. Accordingly, no further environmental review under CEQA is necessary in connection with approval of the Vesting Tentative Map.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Addendum was prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). See Attachment 4 for the Addendum. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states that when an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been certified or a Negative Declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the Lead Agency determines on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record that substantial changes or new information of substantial importance has been identified.
The City of Santa Clara certified the Tasman East Specific Plan (TESP) EIR (SCH#2016122027, File Nos. CEQ2016-01026, PLN2016-12400). Based on the proposed project description and knowledge of the project site (based on the environmental review prepared for the TESP FEIR), the City concludes that the proposed project would not result in any new impacts not previously disclosed in the TESP FEIR and would not result in a substantial increase in the magnitude of any significant environmental impacts previously identified in the FEIR. For these reasons, an addendum to the TESP FEIR was prepared for the proposed project. An addendum is not required to circulate for public review, but will be attached to the TESP FEIR, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c).
PUBLIC CONTACT
On August 31, 2023, a notice of public hearing of this item was posted 1,000 feet of the project site and mailed to property owners within 1,000 feet of the project site. The project was continued from the September 13, 2023 hearing to a date certain of October 18, 2023. Therefore, additional noticing City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/12/2023Page 3 of 4

5185 LAFAYETTE STREET (PARCEL 11) PROJECT
October 2023
1.1 PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) recognizes that between the date an environmental document is certified and the date the project is fully implemented, one or more of the following changes may occur: 1) the project may change; 2) the environmental setting in which the project is located may change; 3) laws, regulations, or policies may change in ways that impact the environment; and/or 4) previously unknown information can arise. Before proceeding with a project, CEQA requires the Lead Agency to evaluate these changes to determine whether or not they affect the conclusions in the environmental document.
On September 13, 2018, the City of Santa Clara certified the Tasman East Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (TESP FEIR) and approved the Tasman East Specific Plan (TESP) project. The TESP was envisioned by the City to create a Transit-Oriented Development Mixed-Use Neighborhood. The TESP supports existing and planned land uses in the project area. The FEIR analyzed the development of up to 4,500 dwelling units, approximately 106,000 square feet of retail space (including a 25,000 square foot grocery store) and a 600-student school in the City of Santa Clara.
The intent and purpose of the TESP FEIR was to provide program-level environmental review for the TESP. This addendum tiers from the TESP FEIR and provides site-specific analysis for the proposed project and assesses consistency of the project with the TESP.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states that when an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been certified or a Negative Declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the Lead Agency determined, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 2 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or Negative Declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that the Lead Agency (City of Santa Clara) or a Responsible Agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 (see above) calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
This addendum analyzes the 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project under Section 15162. The proposed project would redevelop approximately 0.90 acres located within the western portion of the TESP area which is currently developed with one light industrial building (approximately 13,720 square feet) and associated surface parking lot. The project would construct a 21-story, residential building with up to 198 residential units and approximately 3,008 square feet of retail.1
Based on the proposed project description and knowledge of the project site (based on the environmental review prepared for the TESP FEIR), the City has concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new impacts not previously disclosed in the TESP FEIR and would not result in a substantial increase in the magnitude of any significant environmental impacts previously identified in the FEIR. For these reasons, an addendum to the TESP FEIR has been prepared for the proposed project.
This addendum will not circulate for public review, but will be attached to the TESP FEIR, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c).
A copy of the TESP FEIR is available in the City of Santa Clara at 1500 Warburton Avenue, during normal business hours, or on the City’s website at www.santaclaraca.gov.
1 Retail is shown on the ground floor of the plan set. Per the project applicant, the space would be either retail or a private club for residents. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that retail is proposed. 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 3 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
SECTION 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The project would redevelop approximately 0.9 acres [Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 097-46- 011)] along the central western portion of the TESP area. The TESP area is approximately 46.0 acres of land within the City of Santa Clara that was originally comprised of approximately 708,000 square feet of light industrial/commercial/office space in an existing industrial area. The TESP area is bounded by the former Santa Clara Golf & Tennis Club to the north, the Guadalupe River to the east, Tasman Drive to the south, and Lafayette Street to the west. Please refer to Figure 2.1-1 for an aerial photograph of the project site and surrounding land uses.
2.2 PROPOSED PROJECT
2.2.1 Proposed Development
The project site is developed with an approximately 13,720-square foot light industrial building and associated surface parking lot on the western side of the TESP area. As proposed, the project would demolish the existing building and construct a 21-story, residential building as described below.
Please refer to Figures 2.2-1 to 2.2-3 for the site plan and elevations.
The proposed building would consist of 198 residential units with approximately 3,008 square feet of ground floor retail2 and would have a residential density of 220 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).3 The proposed building would be a maximum height of 219 feet to the roofline. Parking would be provided within two levels of below-grade parking and within the building on floors two to five. A small number of residential units would also be located on floors two to five. Floors six to 21 would consist of residential units ranging from nine units to 13 units.
The project would provide up to 8,264 square feet of usable open space. A gateway plaza and covered patio and dining area are proposed on the ground floor and an outdoor fitness area and yoga patio are proposed on the sixth floor. Amenities proposed on the 21st floor would include a pool and spa, cabanas, BBQ area, entertainment room, and dining terrace. In addition, each residential unit would include a balcony/patio.
Currently, the project site can be accessed via two driveways (one along Lafayette Street and one along Calle De Luna) which would be retained. A total of 310 vehicular parking spaces and 110 bicycle parking spaces are proposed.
2.2.2 Green Building Measures
The proposed project would be required to be built in accordance to the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), which includes design provisions intended to minimize wasteful energy consumption, and the City’s Reach Code. The project is required to achieve the minimum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification or equivalent, such as Build It Green.
2 Retail is shown on the ground floor of the plan set. Per the project applicant, the space would be either retail or a private club for residents. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that retail is proposed. 3 198 proposed residential units in total / 0.9-acres = 220 du/ac.

5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 8 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
As proposed, the project would include the following green building design features:
• Stormwater treatment on-site
• Provide 110 bicycle parking spaces on-site
• Provide unbundled parking and a rideshare area on-site • Utilize materials on the roof and all hardscape areas that would reduce the heat island effect • Provide thermal comfort controls for all residential units • Sixty-five percent construction and demolition waste management, consistent with the City of Santa Clara Construction & Demolition Debris Recycling Program • Energy Star appliances
2.2.3 Transportation Demand Management Plan
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs are intended to reduce vehicle trips and parking demand by promoting the use of multimodal transportation options. As discussed in the TESP FEIR, the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) requires that all residential development within the TESP develop and implement a plan for a minimum 20 percent reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) with a minimum of 10 percent being achieved through a TDM Plan. Consistent with this mandate, the project would include the following TDM Measures.
Table 2.2-1: Required/Proposed TDM Measures
Required TESP Measures
Limited parking supply; dedicated electric-vehicle (EV) parking Unbundled residential parking
Participation in the Tasman East Transportation Coordination Group (TETCG); includes transit passes, bikeshare programs, bicycle repair facilities, and commute information/marketing Transportation coordinator; trip monitoring and reporting Bicycle parking and amenities; electric scooter corrals Project-Specific Measures
On-site amenities
Secure bicycle parking

2.2.4 General Plan and Zoning Designations
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Transit Neighborhood (100-350 du/ac), which allows multi-family residential uses and supportive commercial and public/quasi-public uses.
This density range is intended to take advantage of proximity to transit, offering an urban feel, including a positive public realm within a right-of-way accommodating all modes of transportation.
Building forms are typically mid- to high-rise buildings featuring structured or below-grade parking, as well as shared outdoor space. Under the TESP, all sites of one acre or more in size are required to accommodate a minimum density of 100 du/ac. Each parcel of less than one acre in size is required to accommodate a minimum of 60 du/ac.
The site is zoned Transit Neighborhood (TN), which allows for development of a high-density residential neighborhood with a mix of uses at the ground floor. Consistent with the General Plan
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 9 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
designation described above, residential densities within the TN zoning district would range from a minimum of 60 du/ac on sites less than one acre in size to a minimum of 100 du/ac for sites of one acre or larger in size with no maximum density for individual parcels, all the while maintaining an overall unit cap of 4,500 units for the entire TESP area.
The proposed residential development would have a density of 220 du/ac, consistent with the Transit Neighborhood General Plan and zoning designations. The addition of 198 residential units would not exceed the TESP unit cap of 4,500 units.

SECTION 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED
PROJECT
The discussion below describes the environmental impacts of the proposed project compared to the impacts of the approved TESP FEIR. Also noted are any changes that have occurred in the environmental setting that would result in new impacts or impacts of greater severity than those identified in the previously certified FEIR. This Addendum only addresses those resource areas which could potentially have new impacts or impacts of greater severity (specific to the project site) than were addressed in the TESP FEIR. Based on the project’s consistency with the development assumptions and General Plan and zoning designations, the proposed project would have the same impacts with regard to the following environmental issues:
• Aesthetics • Mineral Resources
• Agricultural Resources • Population and Housing
• Cultural Resources/Tribal Cultural Resources • Public Services • Energy • Recreation
• Geology and Soils • Transportation/Traffic
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Utilities and Service Systems • Land Use and Planning
All relevant best management practices, conditions of approval, and mitigation measures identified in the TESP FEIR for these resource areas are incorporated by reference and would be required by the project.
The proposed project includes the construction of a 21-story, residential building with up to 198 residential units and approximately 3,008 square feet of ground floor retail. This Addendum analyzes the impacts of the proposed project and consistency with the TESP FEIR regarding the following environmental issues:
• Air Quality • Hydrology and Water Quality
• Biological Resources • Noise and Vibration
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 11 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
3.1 EXISTING SETTING
The project site and area consist of light industrial, commercial, and new residential buildings in the City of Santa Clara. The project site is bounded by Lafayette Street to the west, light industrial buildings to the north and east, and Calle De Luna and a site, located at 2300 Calle De Luna, that is currently under construction to the south. Since approval of the TESP project in 2018, there are currently three residential projects (e.g., 2343 Calle Del Mundo, 2300 Calle De Luna, and 5123 Calle Del Sol) within the TESP area that are currently under construction. In addition, the 2233 Calle Del Mundo Residential Project, File No. PLN2018-13446, is currently built and units are being leased.
3.2 AIR QUALITY
The following analysis addresses the potential air quality impacts that would result from construction and operation of the proposed project.
3.2.1 Findings of the Previously Certified FEIR
Construction Emissions
Construction activities from full build out of the TESP may generate dust and other particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) that could temporarily impact nearby land uses, particularly sensitive receptors. In addition, construction equipment and associated heavy-duty truck traffic would generate diesel exhaust, a known toxic air contaminant (TAC) which would pose a community risk to nearby sensitive receptors. The primary community risk impact issues associated with construction emissions are cancer risk and exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5).
Construction exhaust emissions include those from equipment (i.e., off-road) and traffic (on-road vehicles and trucks). Off-road construction equipment is often diesel-powered and can be a substantial source of nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions, in addition to PM10 and PM2.5 emissions.
Architectural coatings and application of asphalt pavement are dominant sources of reactive organic gas (ROG) emissions. The combination of temporary dust from activities and diesel exhaust from construction equipment and related traffic may exceed Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD’s) project-level thresholds on a project-by-project basis. Additionally, NOX emissions during grading and soil import/export may exceed the BAAQMD NOX emission thresholds. The TESP FEIR identified the following air quality impact.
Impact AQ-1: The project would result in significant construction air pollutant emissions due to dust generation and emissions of TACs and criteria pollutants during construction.
The following mitigation measures were included in the approved project to control dust and reduce construction TAC and criteria pollutant emissions during construction:
MM AQ-1.1: During any construction period ground disturbance, the applicant shall ensure that the project contractor implements the following BAAQMD BMPs:
3.2.1.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 12 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• All exposed unpaved surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
• All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered.
• All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day.
The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
• All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 miles per hour (mph).
• All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
• Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to five minutes (as required by the California Airborne Toxics Control Measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points. • All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation.
• Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the construction firm regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District’s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
• The contractor shall install temporary electrical service whenever possible to avoid the need for independently powered equipment (e.g. generators).
MM AQ-1.2: Construction criteria pollutant and TAC quantification will be required on a project-level basis for individual development projects once those details are available through modeling to identify impacts and, if necessary, include measures to reduce emissions. The analysis must be submitted for City review and approval, once complete. Health risks from construction TACs shall be reduced below 10 in one million excess cancer cases, a hazard index of 1.0, and PM2.5 emissions of 0.3 µg/m3. Criteria pollutant emissions shall not exceed BAAQMD construction criteria pollutant emissions thresholds.
Reduction in emissions can be accomplished through, though is not limited to, the following measures:
• Construction equipment selection for low emissions;
• Use of alternative fuels, engine retrofits, and added exhaust devices; • Low-volatile organic compound paints;
• Modify construction schedule; and
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 13 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• Implementation of BAAQMD Basic and/or Additional Construction mitigation measures for control of fugitive dust.
Implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1.1 and AQ-1.2 would ensure that construction emissions impacts from individual development projects under the TESP would be reduced to a less than significant level.
Operational Emissions
The TESP FEIR concluded that full build out of the TESP would result in long-term area and mobile source emissions from operation of subsequent development. Build out of the TESP would exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for ROGs and NOx. The TESP FEIR identified the following air quality impact.
Impact AQ-2: The operation of the project would result in significant operational ROG and NOx emissions thereby contributing to regional ozone impacts.
The following mitigation measures were included in the approved project to reduce operational ROG and NOx emissions impacts:
MM AQ-2.1: Proposed residential development within the TESP shall implement TDM programs to reduce residential vehicle miles traveled as required by the City’s Climate Action Plan. The TDM programs would be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of building permits. An annual TDM monitoring report shall be submitted to the Community Development Director to document each development is meeting the required TDM program reductions.
MM AQ-2.2: Proposed development within the TESP shall incorporate additional green building measures such as rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, rough-ins for electric vehicle charging, use of efficient lighting and irrigation, and recycled water, as feasible, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
MM AQ-2.3: Developed parcels shall require within their covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) and/or ground leases requirements for all future interior spaces to be repainted only with architectural coatings that meet the “Low- VOC” or “Super-Compliant” requirements. “Low-VOC” refers to paints that meet the more stringent regulatory limits in South Coast AQMD Rule 1113; however, many manufacturers have reformulated to levels well below these limits. These are referred to as “Super-Compliant” Architectural Coatings.
Even with implementation of the identified mitigation measures, operational ROG and NOx emissions from operation of the project would remain significant and unavoidable.

Toxic Air Contaminants
CEQA does not address the effects of existing environmental conditions on a project. Nevertheless, the City of Santa Clara addressed the effect of existing local emission sources on future residents in the TESP area as a planning consideration.
The TESP FEIR identified three sources of TACs and PM2.5 emissions. The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), Lafayette Street, and Tasman Drive would affect the western portion of the site, within 270 feet of the rail line, and the southern portion of the site, within 110 feet of the Tasman Drive edge of travel lane. Any development proposed within the identified affected areas would expose future sensitive receptors on-site to significant cancer risk and/or PM2.5 concentrations. Therefore, the following conditions of approval were included in the approved project.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• Design the site to limit exposure from sources of TACs and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. The final site layout shall locate operable windows and air intakes as far as possible from the Union Pacific Railroad line/Lafayette Street and Tasman Drive. • To the greatest degree possible, plant vegetation along the project site boundaries with Union Pacific Railroad line/Lafayette Street and Tasman Drive and around outdoor use areas. This barrier would include trees and shrubs that provide a dense vegetative barrier. • Install air filtration at units that have predicted PM2.5 concentrations above 0.3 μg/m3. Air filtration devices shall be rated MERV13 or higher. Alternately, at the approval of the City, equivalent control technology may be used if it is shown by a qualified air quality consultant or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer that it would reduce risk below significance thresholds.
• As part of implementing this measure, an ongoing maintenance plan for the building’s HVAC air filtration system shall be required.
• Ensure that any lease agreements and other property documents (1) require cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring of the affected units for air flow leaks; (2) include assurance that new owners and tenants are provided information on the ventilation system; and (3) include provisions that fees associated with owning or leasing a unit(s) in the building include funds for cleaning, maintenance, monitoring, and replacements of the filters, as needed.
• Require that, prior to building occupancy, an authorized air pollutant consultant or HVAC engineer verify the installation of all necessary measures to reduce cancer risk below 10 chances per million from any source and PM2.5 concentrations above 0.3 μg/m3 for any source and 0.8 μg/m3 for all sources.

CEQA Thresholds of Significance
Impacts from the Project
As discussed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(b), the determination of whether a project may have a significant effect on the environment calls for careful judgment on the part of the Lead Agency and must be based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data. The City of Santa Clara has carefully considered the thresholds updated by BAAQMD in April 2023 and regards these thresholds to be based on the best information available for the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin and conservative in terms of the assessment of health effects associated with TACs and PM2.5. The City has also applied these thresholds consistently across its environmental documents. The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality thresholds for criteria air pollutants and fugitive dust used in this analysis are identified in Table 3.2-1. Table 3.2-2 below lists the BAAQMD health risk and hazards thresholds for single-source and cumulative-sources.

Construction Period Emissions – Criteria Pollutants
Construction period criteria pollutants were estimated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2022. The proposed land uses were input into CalEEMod, which included 198 dwelling units and 192,702 square feet4 entered as “Apartments High-Rise,” and 310 parking spaces entered as Enclosed Parking with Elevator.” In addition, it was assumed that construction of the project would begin in August 2024 for 34 months, or 741 construction workdays.
Table 3.2-4 below shows the average daily emissions from criteria pollutants during the construction period. The model, assumptions, and results are described further in Appendix A of this document.

BAAQMD Thresholds (pounds per day) 54 54 82 54
Exceed Threshold? No No No No
As shown in the table above, construction period criteria pollutant emissions associated with the proposed project would not exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds. Therefore, the project would not result in a significant impact from construction emissions. All projects proposed under the TESP would be required to comply with mitigation measure AQ-1.1 which includes Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce fugitive dust from construction activities. In addition to those BMPs, the project would be required to comply with the following measures, which are consistent with the latest BAAQMD BMPs, as a conditions of project approval.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• All excavation, grading, and/or demolition activities shall be suspended when average wind speeds exceed 20 mph.
• All trucks and equipment, including their tires, shall be washed off prior to leaving the site. • Unpaved roads providing access to sites located 100 feet or further from a paved road shall be treated with a six- to 12-inch layer of compacted layer of wood chips, mulch, or gravel.
4 Retail is shown on the ground floor of the plan set. Per the project applicant, the space would be either retail or a private club for residents. Because the 3,008-square feet of retail or private club was accounted for in the total residential square footage, the construction emission estimates would not change regardless of the use.
3.2.2.2 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 17 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
With implementation of AQ-1.1 and the additional BMPs, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified construction criteria pollutant air quality impacts.
Construction – Community Risk Impacts
Construction equipment and associated heavy-duty truck traffic generates diesel exhaust, a known TAC. A community health risk assessment was prepared to evaluate the potential health effects of sensitive receptors at the nearby residences from diesel particulate matter (DPM) and PM2.5.
Construction emissions from the off-road construction equipment and exhaust emissions from on- road vehicles were modeled using CalEEMod. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) was used to predict DPM and PM2.5 concentrations at existing sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project site. The model, assumptions, and results are described further in Appendix A.
The maximum-exposed individual (MEI) would be located on the third floor of a multi-family development that is currently under construction at 2300 Calle Del Luna, circled in red as shown in Figure 3.2-1 below. Since the development is still under construction, it is estimated that the MEI would be exposed to maximum cancer risk in 2025.

Project Construction - Unmitigated 30.23 (infant) 0.13 0.02 BAAQMD Single-Source Threshold >10.0 >0.3 >1.0
Exceed Threshold? Unmitigated Yes No No
As shown above, the cancer risk would exceed BAAQMD’s significance threshold of 10 cases per million for cancer risk without mitigation. The PM2.5 concentration and hazard index (HI) would not exceed BAAQMD’s significance threshold. Per mitigation measure AQ-1.2 of the TESP FEIR, project-level construction TAC assessments are required for individual projects proposed under the TESP and, if necessary, measures to reduce emissions shall also be included to reduce emissions below BAAQMD thresholds.
In order to address the significant impact caused by the risk of excess cancer cases and to further reduce emissions using “construction equipment selection for low emissions,” the proposed project shall be subject to the following condition of project approval.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• Prior to the issuance of any demolition, grading, or building permits (whichever occurs earliest), the project applicant shall submit a construction operations plan to the Director of Community Development demonstrating that the off-road equipment used for construction of the project would achieve a fleet-wide average of at least 70 percent reduction in DPM exhaust emissions. To achieve this reduction the construction plan would include the following:
o All construction equipment larger than 25 horsepower, operating on-site for more than two days continuously or 20 hours total shall meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) particulate matter emissions standards for Tier 3 engines with the inclusion of particulate matter emissions control equivalent to California Air Resources Board (CARB)-certified Level 3 diesel emission control devices that achieve a 70 percent reduction in particulate matter exhaust in comparison to uncontrolled equipment or equivalent.
o Electrical power lines shall be installed during early construction phases to avoid use of diesel generators, or
o As an alternative to the measures above, the project applicant could request a plan from a qualified air quality specialist demonstrating that the construction equipment used on-site would achieve a reduction in construction diesel particulate matter emissions by 70 percent or greater. Such a plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Community Development prior to construction. Elements of the plan could include a combination of the following measures.
▪ Implementation of the first bullet (use of Tier 4 or alternatively fueled equipment),
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 19 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
▪ Implementation of the second bullet (installation of electrical power lines), ▪ Use of electrically-powered equipment,
▪ Forklifts and aerial lifts for exterior and interior building construction shall be electric or propane/natural gas powered,
▪ Change in construction build out plans to lengthen phases, and ▪ Implementation of different building techniques that result in less diesel equipment usage.
With implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1.1 and AQ-1.2 from the TESP FEIR and the conditions of project approval listed above, the cancer risk would be reduced to 5.05 cases per million for infant exposure, which is below the BAAQMD significance threshold of 10 cases per million. As a result, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified impact.
Operational Emissions – Criteria Pollutants
Based on the conclusions of the TESP FEIR, all residential development proposed would be required to implement a TDM program and incorporate green building measures into the project. Consistent with mitigation measure AQ-2.1 identified in the TESP FEIR, the proposed project includes project- specific TDM measures to reduce residential VMT as required by the City’s CAP. The CAP requires a minimum 20 percent reduction in VMT with a minimum 10 percent being achieved through a TDM plan. The TDM program shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of building permits.
The project applicant proposes the following TDM measures as shown in Table 3.2-5 below.

Additionally, consistent with mitigation measures AQ-2.2 and AQ-2.3 of the TESP FEIR, the project would include the following green building measures.
• Stormwater treatment on-site
• Provide 110 bicycle parking spaces on-site
• Provide unbundled parking and a rideshare area on-site
3.2.2.4 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 20 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• Utilize materials on the roof and all hardscape areas that would reduce the heat island effect • Provide thermal comfort controls for all residential units • Sixty-five percent construction and demolition waste management, consistent with the City of Santa Clara Construction & Demolition Debris Recycling Program • Energy Star appliances
With implementation of the TDM program and green building measures, the project would have a less than significant impact on operational ROG and NOx emissions. While full build out of the TESP would have a significant and unavoidable operational criteria pollutant emissions impact, the proposed project is consistent with the development projections in the TESP FEIR and would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified air quality impacts.
Operation – Community Risk Impacts
A 600-kilowatt (kW) emergency diesel generator powered by an 804-horsepower (HP) engine is proposed at the northeast corner on the ground floor and a 100-hp fire pump is proposed in the basement. The fire pump would be electrically powered and would not produce TAC emissions; therefore, the fire pump is not discussed further.
For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that the generator would be operated for testing and maintenance purposes only. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and BAAQMD requirements limit these engine operations to 50 hours each per year for testing and maintenance.
During testing periods, the engine would typically run for less than one hour. The emissions from operation of the generator were estimated using the CalEEMod model. The AERMOD dispersion model was used to estimate the potential increased cancer risk and PM2.5 impact from operation of the generator and the exposure duration was adjusted to account for the receptors being exposed to construction for the first three years of the 30-year period. Refer to Appendix A for the dispersion modeling adjustments and assumptions. Table 3.2-6 below provides a summary of the construction and operational risk impacts at the off-site MEI and Figure 3.2-1 above shows the location of the generator and off-site receptors.

one million. The annual PM2.5 and HI from construction and operation of the project would not exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds of 0.3 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) and 1.0, respectively. With implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1.1 and AQ-1.2 from the TESP FEIR and the conditions of project approval listed above, the total maximum cancer risk from construction and operation of the project would be reduced to 5.05 cases per one million. As a result, the proposed project would result in a less than significant operational TAC impact at the off-site MEI and would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified air quality impacts.
Combined Community Risk Impacts at Construction MEI
Community health risk assessments typically look at all sources of TACs (including highways, streets, and stationary sources identified by BAAQMD) within 1,000 feet of a project site. Tasman Drive and Lafayette Street are mobile sources of TACs. The UPRR, approximately 115 feet west of the project site, would generate TAC and PM2.5 emissions from diesel locomotives. Additionally, stationary sources identified in the TESP FEIR that could affect the plan area were also evaluated.
Stationary sources that were deemed to pose no risk or would no longer pose a risk due to removal were not evaluated in the cumulative community risk impact assessment.
Roadway and Rail Line
The cancer risk, PM2.5 concentration, and HI associated with traffic on Tasman Drive and Lafayette Street, as well as rail activity from the UPRR were estimated using BAAQMD raster files.5
Stationary Sources
Two stationary sources, a diesel generator and a metal finishing facility, were identified using BAAQMD’s Permitted Stationary Sources 2021 geographic information system map website.
TESP Cumulative Projects
At the time the Construction Air Quality and Health Risk Assessment was prepared, seven projects were approved and three projects were pending within the TESP area including:
Approved Projects
• 2343 Calle Del Mundo
• 5123 Calle Del Sol
• 2200 Calle De Luna
• 2225 Calle De Luna/2232 Calle Del Mundo
• 2300 Calle De Luna
• 2233 Calle Del Mundo6
• 2302/2310 Calle Del Mundo
5 The BAAQMD raster files provide screening-level cancer risk, PM2.5 concentrations, and HI for roadways and rail lines within the Bay Area.
6 Note that the approved project located at 2233 Calle Del Mundo is now fully constructed and operational. This would lessen the cumulative impact and would not change the conclusions of the analysis.

• 2101 Tasman Drive7
• 2354 Calle Del Mundo
While construction of these projects could be completed while project construction occurs, the cumulative impacts from these projects on the MEI were included to provide a conservative estimate of health risks (refer to Appendix A for more information). Figure 3.2-2 below shows the project site (outlined in blue), nearby sources of TACs, and the approved/pending TESP projects. Any project located outside the 1,000-foot influence area (outside the yellow circle) were not included in the cumulative analysis. Table 3.2-7 summarizes the TAC sources near the project site.

As shown above, the project (without mitigation included) combined with other nearby sources would be below BAAQMD’s significance threshold for combined sources at the construction MEI, consistent with the findings of the TESP FEIR. The proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified air quality impacts.
Toxic Air Contaminants – Planning Considerations
Due to the location of the proposed project, future residences would be exposed to an elevated cancer risk and/or PM2.5 concentrations. Based on Figure 3.2-3 below or Figure 3.2-1 of the TESP FEIR8, MERV13 (or higher) filters would be required for all areas affected by air pollutant sources as a condition of project approval.

The TESP FEIR concluded that implementation of the condition of project approval would reduce the cancer risk and PM2.5 concentrations below BAAQMD’s significance thresholds for sensitive receptors.
3.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The following analysis addresses the potential biological resources impacts that would result from implementation of the proposed project. Specifically, the analysis addresses impacts to birds (bird strikes) and loss of trees.
The project site is classified as developed land with no sensitive habitats or special-status species present. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not contribute to any identified impacts to protected habitats and special-status species and no further analysis is required.

Construction impacts on nesting birds would be the same on all project sites within the TESP area.
The TESP FEIR identified mitigation measures required of all projects under the TESP to reduce impacts to nesting birds to less than significant levels. These mitigation measures are incorporated by reference and no further analysis is required.
3.3.1 Findings of the Previously Certified FEIR
Bird Strikes
Based on the approved project, numerous resident and migratory songbirds are known to occur at the Ulistac Natural Area, south of Tasman Drive, and a number of songbirds, waterbirds, and wetland- associated birds also occur along the Guadalupe River. Development proposed within the TESP area would be a maximum height of 220 feet. Some of the birds using habitats within the TESP, Guadalupe River, and Ulistac Natural Area are expected to strike the buildings, resulting in injury or death.
Impact BIO-3: The project proposes structures with lighting, glass windows, building facades, and vegetation which may result in impacts to migrant birds.
Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce impacts to the migratory birds to a less than significant level:
MM BIO-3.1: Due to the potential for buildings in the TESP area to result in high numbers of bird collisions, particularly if extensive glass facades are used, all new construction and building additions within the TESP area will implement the following bird-safe building design considerations:
• Reduce the extent of glass on the facades of new buildings and additions to the extent feasible.
• Prohibit visibility of interior landscaped areas behind glass. • No more than 10 percent of the surface area of a building’s total exterior façade shall have untreated glazing between the ground and 60 feet above ground, unless located within 300 feet of the top of bank of the Guadalupe River within such boundary this requirement would extend to the entirety of the structure. Bird-safe glazing treatments may include fritting, netting, permanent stencils, frosted glass, exterior screens, physical grids placed on the exterior of glazing or ultraviolet patterns visible to birds. Vertical elements of the window patterns should be at least 0.25 inches wide at a maximum spacing of four inches or have horizontal elements at least 0.125 inches wide at a maximum spacing of two inches. Any remaining untreated glazed areas will be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe glazing treatments.
• Avoid free-standing clear glass walls, skywalks, transparent building corners, glass enclosures (e.g., greenhouses) on rooftops, and balconies with unbroken glazed segments 24 square feet and larger where feasible.
3.3.1.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 26 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
If any such features are included in building designs, all glazing used in any such features will be 100 percent treated.
• Reduce glass at tops of buildings, especially when incorporating a green roof into the building design.
• If a green roof or green wall is incorporated into the building design, no more than 10 percent of the surface area of the building's combined facades within 12 vertical feet above and/or below the green roof or green wall shall have untreated glazing. Any remaining untreated glazed areas will be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe glazing treatments.
• Avoid the funneling of flight paths between buildings or trees towards a glazed building façade.
• Landscaping, including planted vegetation and water features, shall be designed to minimize the potential for collisions. For example, vegetation providing particularly valuable resources to birds (such as fruits) will be planted away from buildings with extensive glazing, and vegetation in general will be planted in such a way that it is not clearly reflected in windows. Water features would be located away from building exteriors to reduce the attraction of birds toward glazed facades. • Minimize exterior lighting to the extent feasible, except as needed for safety. All exterior lights shall be directed toward facilities in the Plan Area (e.g., rather than directed upward or outward) and shielded to ensure that light is not directed outward toward the Guadalupe River or Ulistac Natural Area.
• Occupancy sensors or other switch control devices shall be installed on interior lights, with the exception of emergency lights or lights needed for safety purposes. Exterior shades shall also be considered to reduce light pollution. On commercial buildings, these lights shall be programmed to shut off during non-work hours and between 10:00 p.m. and sunrise.
The City may waive or reduce any of the above-listed bird-safe design requirements based on analysis by a qualified biologist indicating that proposed construction will not pose a collision hazard to birds. Such a waiver will generally not be appropriate for façades adjacent to well-vegetated areas, but a waiver may be appropriate, for example, for façades that face developed areas lacking vegetation, water features, or other features that would be particularly attractive to birds.
Mitigation measure BIO-3.1 incorporates bird-safe design elements into future building designs and reduces impacts to birds to the extent feasible. The TESP FEIR determined that with implementation of the identified mitigation measure, future development under the TESP would continue to result in a significant unavoidable avian collision impact.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 27 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
Increased Lighting
Build out of the TESP would increase lighting compared to existing conditions. Wildlife species using the Guadalupe River and/or Ulistac Natural Area would be subject to increased predation, decreased habitat availability, and alterations of physiological processes if development under the TESP were to produce greater illuminance than the existing conditions.
Impact BIO-4: Increased artificial lighting may adversely impact bird species by increasing predation, decreasing habitat availability, and altering physiological processes.
The following mitigation measure would minimize lighting impacts on birds to a less than significant level:
MM BIO-4.1: To the extent consistent with the normal and expected operations of commercial and/or residential uses under the TESP, take appropriate measures to avoid use of unnecessary lighting at night, especially during the bird migration season (February through May and August through November). Such measures may include the installation of motion-sensor lighting, automatic light shut-off mechanisms, downward-facing exterior light fixtures, and others. Exterior lighting within the Specific Plan area will be shielded as needed to block illumination from shining upward, or outward into the Guadalupe River to the east or Ulistac Natural Area to the south.
Lighting plans for each development site shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director prior to the issuance of building permits.
Based on the TESP FEIR, implementation of the identified mitigation measure would minimize lighting and reduce lighting impacts to a less than significant level.
Trees
Implementation of the TESP would result in the removal of numerous trees within the TESP area.
Existing trees throughout the TESP area include a mixture of non-native or not naturally-occurring, planted, ornamental species including eucalyptus, acacias, and London planes. The General Plan requires replacement of trees removed as part of a proposed development project.
The TESP FEIR concluded that removal of trees within the TESP area would not have a significant impact on wildlife because the trees are mostly landscape and non-native species that are not regionally limited. Given the substantial number of trees that would be removed by development proposed under the TESP, impacts to mature trees from future development under the TESP would result in a significant impact.
Impact BIO-10: Tree removal from redevelopment of individual parcels under the Specific Plan would result in a significant impact to mature trees.
The following mitigation measures were included in the approved project to reduce impacts from tree removal.
3.3.1.2 3.3.1.3
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 28 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
MM BIO-10.1: Projects proposing or required to retain trees on-site shall implement precautionary measures during site construction to limit adverse environmental effects on ordinance-protected trees that are to be retained. A tree protection plan shall be prepared by a qualified arborist that, at a minimum, requires installation of an open material (e.g., chain link) fence six feet in height around the drip line and maintenance of the existing grade level around a tree and out to its drip line.
MM BIO-10.2: Project proponents under the TESP will comply with the City Code and submit permit applications for removal of all trees covered by the City’s tree ordinance. Any street trees or heritage trees to be removed would require replacement on-site or off-site at a minimum 2:1 ratio per General Plan Policy
5.3.1-P10. To the extent feasible, the replacement trees will be planted on- site, and the project proponent will comply with all other tree removal requirements imposed by the City.
Implementation of mitigation measures BIO-10.1 and BIO-10.2 would reduce impacts to trees to a less than significant level.
3.3.2 Biological Resources Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Project Bird Strikes
The TESP FEIR concluded that all new buildings, including the proposed project, would have the potential for bird strikes and are required to incorporate bird safe design features. In September 2023, H.T. Harvey & Associates prepared an Avian Collision Risk Assessment for the proposed project. A copy of this report is provided in Appendix B.
The following analysis outlines the project’s design elements and its compliance with mitigation measure BIO-3.1.
Reduce the extent of glass on the façades of new buildings to the extent feasible.
The project would include extensive glazing on the building façades above the fifth floor (on the northern, eastern, and western façades), floors one and two (of the eastern façade), and on all levels of the southern façade. Per mitigation measure BIO-3.1, all new construction and building additions within the TESP area shall reduce the extent of glass on the façades to the extent feasible. The TESP FEIR recognized that “[m]ost often, bird collisions have been related to the extent of reflective and/or untreated glass on the building which provides the strongest opportunity for a collision,” and to that end, the construction shall include treated glazing in areas of the building with high collision risk, as discussed further below. In addition, the building façades would be composed of opaque panels on the northern and eastern façades surrounding the parking garage on floors one to five.
Glazing on the eastern and western façades consist of smaller windows broken up by opaque panels which helps reduce the total amount of glazing on the building. As a result, the project design would comply with this requirement.
3.3.2.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 29 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
Prohibit the visibility of interior landscaped areas behind glass
No interior landscaped areas are proposed behind glass and, as a result, the project design would comply with this requirement.
No more than 10 percent of the surface area of a building’s total exterior façade shall have untreated glazing between the ground and 60 feet above ground. Bird-safe glazing treatments may include fritting, netting, permanent stencils, frosted glass, exterior screens, physical grids placed on the exterior of glazing or ultraviolet patterns visible to birds. Vertical elements of the window patterns should be at least 0.25 inches wide at a maximum spacing of four inches or have horizontal elements at least 0.125 inches wide at a maximum spacing of two inches. Any remaining untreated glazed areas will be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe glazing treatments.
As originally proposed, no bird-safe glazing was proposed as part of the building design. Based on the Avian Collision Risk Assessment prepared for the project, the frequency of avian collisions to the proposed building on-site would be lower compared to other sites within the TESP area due to its distance to the Ulistac Natural Area (approximately 1,580 feet southeast) and to the Guadalupe River (approximately 1,790 feet east). The project proposes vegetation and trees in the exterior amenity spaces. Based on the extent and character of the vegetation planned for the site, the limited extent of the proposed open space areas, and the development that would be surrounding the site, any new landscape vegetation on-site would provide relatively limited resources for native birds regardless of the tree and plant species used. As stated in mitigation measure BIO-3.1, the City may waive or reduce any of the bird-safe design requirements based on analysis by a qualified biologist indicating that proposed buildings will not pose a collision hazard to birds. The assessment concluded that substantial impacts on birds colliding with the majority of the building façades would not occur because bird abundance in the vicinity would be relatively low, and therefore some of the bird-safe design requirements of mitigation measure BIO-3.1 are waivable.
Nevertheless, large numbers of birds are expected to fly through or past the area compared to other areas of the City, and therefore selected bird-safe treatments will be necessary. The assessment identified the following areas of high collision risk: 1) the extensive glazing on floors one to five (i.e., within 60 feet of the ground) of the southern façade located adjacent to the landscape vegetation and 2) feature-related hazards9 (e.g., free-standing glass railings and transparent glass corners) adjacent to the proposed exterior vegetation.
Consistent with mitigation measure BIO-3.1, the project shall be required to include one of the following design alternatives as a condition of project approval.
Condition of Project Approval:
There is potential for bird collisions on floors one to five (i.e., within approximately 60 feet of the ground). Specifically, on floors one and two of the eastern façade and on floors one to five of the southern façade as these areas would be located adjacent to landscape vegetation and would consist of extensive glazing.
9 A feature-related hazard is a potential bird collision hazard that should be treated regardless of whether the building is located near a high-quality bird habitat area.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 30 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
One of the following two alternatives for glazing treatment shall be implemented:
o No more than 10 percent of the surface area of the building façades combined shall have untreated glazing between the ground and 60 feet above ground. The applicant can determine which areas have untreated glazing; however, it is recommended that untreated glazing be minimized on the southern façade (where collision risks would be the highest); or
o No more than 10 percent of the surface area of the southern and eastern building façades outlined in red on Figures 10 and 11 of Appendix B of this document and below shall consist of untreated glazing. This alternative focuses on the areas where collision would be the highest and would provide less flexibility regarding where unglazed treatment would occur.
Any untreated glazed areas (i.e., 10 percent untreated areas) shall be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe treatments. With implementation of one of the two design alternatives of this condition of project approval, the project would comply with the requirements listed under mitigation measure BIO-3.1.

Avoid free-standing clear glass walks, skywalks, transparent building corners, glass enclosures (e.g., greenhouses) on rooftops, and balconies with unbroken glazed segments 24 square feet and larger where feasible. If any such structures are included in building designs, all glazing used in any such features will be 100 percent treated.
Free-standing glass railings are proposed on the private balconies and amenity decks. No glass enclosures are proposed. While there are transparent glass corners proposed, the majority of these corners would be small due to the presence of opaque materials adjacent to the corners. The opaque materials would further reduce the potential for bird collisions. As a result, the Avian Collision Assessment concluded that the requirement for 100 percent treatment of transparent building corners was waivable for these smaller corners.
A larger, transparent glass corner would be located at the southeast corner on floors one and two.
Since vegetation would be planted on only one side of this corner, the potential for collisions at this location would be reduced. This corner is included in the areas already identified for treatment in the condition of approval listed above. The assessment concluded that no further treatment of glass corners would be required beyond inclusion of the transparent glass corner on floors one and two at the building’s southeast corner in the treatment area per the condition of project approval mentioned above.
Reduce glass at tops of buildings, especially when incorporating a green roof into the building design.
The eastern and western building façades would consist of extensive opaque materials. While the majority of the façades below the amenity decks proposed on floors six and 21 would have opaque wall panels broken up by small individual windows, some areas above and below the amenity decks would consist of extensive glazing. These areas are outlined in yellow on Figures 10, 12, and 13 of Appendix B of this document and below on page 32 and discussed further below.
Although the northern and southern building façades would be heavily glazed, the overall project design would effectively reduce glazing at the top of the building where roofs with landscape vegetation are present. As a result, the project design would comply with this requirement.
If a green roof or green wall is incorporated into the building design, no more than 10 percent of the surface area of the building’s combined façades within 12 vertical feet above and/or below the green roof or green wall shall have untreated glazing. Any remaining untreated glazed areas will be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe glazing treatments.
No green walls are proposed as part of the project; however, the project proposes roofs with landscape vegetation on the sixth and 21st floor amenity decks which would result in bird collisions as the proposed vegetation would attract birds. The façades above and below the sixth and 21st floor amenity terraces would consist of extensive opaque materials that reduce bird collision risk. As discussed previously, the areas outlined in yellow on Figures 10, 12, and 13 of Appendix B of this document and below on page 32 would consist of extensive glazing on the southern façade below the sixth floor amenity terrace. Consistent with mitigation measure BIO-3.1, the project shall be required to include the following condition of project approval.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 32 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
Condition of Project Approval:
• No more than 10 percent of the surface area of these combined façades (as outlined in yellow on Figures 10, 12, and 13 of Appendix B of this document and below) shall have untreated glazing.

With implementation of this condition of project approval, the project would comply with the requirement listed under mitigation measure BIO-3.1.
Avoid the funneling of flight paths between buildings or trees towards a glazed building façade.
The building does not include any features that would funnel birds towards a glazed building façade.
As a result, the project design would comply with this requirement.
Landscaping, including planted vegetation and water features, shall be designed to minimize the potential for collisions. For example, vegetation providing particularly valuable resources to birds (such as fruits) will be planted away from buildings with extensive glazing, and vegetation in general will be planted in such a way that it is not clearly reflected in windows. Water features would be located away from building exteriors to reduce the attraction of birds towards glazed façades.
No water features are proposed besides the pool on the 21st floor. As mentioned previously, vegetation and trees are proposed in the amenity spaces adjacent to building façades. Some of the vegetation is expected to produce food or flowers that would attract birds. Consistent with mitigation measure BIO-3.1, the project shall be required to include the following conditions of project approval.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• All free-standing glass railings adjacent to planted vegetation (i.e., amenity terraces on floors six and 21) shall be 100 percent treated with bird-safe treatment. • Extensive glazing within 60 feet above ground and on the floors above and below the sixth and 21st floor amenity terraces shall be treated with a bird-safe glazing treatment such that no more than 10 percent of the surface area have untreated glazing. • Landscape vegetation with flowers and fruits shall be removed from any planted areas immediately adjacent to untreated glazed areas.
With implementation of the conditions of approval above, the project would comply with this requirement of mitigation measure BIO-3.1.
Minimize exterior lighting to the extent feasible, except as needed for safety. All exterior lights shall be directed toward facilities in the Plan Area (e.g., rather than directed upward or outward) and shielded to ensure that light is not directed outward toward the Guadalupe River or Ulistac Natural Area.
The project’s lighting plan is not yet available. To ensure that the project minimizes exterior lighting to the extent feasible, the project shall comply with the exterior LEED Pilot Credit 55 lighting requirement as follows:
• Exterior building fixtures that are not necessary for safety, building entrances, and circulation shall be automatically shut off from midnight until 6:00 AM. Manual override capability may be provided for occasional after-hour use.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 34 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• Exterior up-lighting in the project design shall be avoided.
The proposed project is located approximately 1,790 feet west of the Guadalupe River and approximately 1,580 west of the Ulistac Natural Area. The Avian Collision Risk Assessment concluded that unshielded exterior lighting in public areas would not spill outwards into these natural areas. As a result, shielding and direct lighting on-site would not be needed to comply with this requirement.
Occupancy sensors or other switch control devices shall be installed on interior lights, with the exception of emergency lights or lights needed for safety purposes. Exterior shades shall also be considered to reduce light pollution. On commercial buildings, these lights shall be programmed to shut off during non-work hours and between 10:00 PM and sunrise.
As discussed above, the project would comply with the exterior LEED Pilot Credit 55 lighting requirement. Due to the proposed buildings distances from the Ulistac Natural Area and Guadalupe River, and the assumption that residents would not use extensive night lighting, the lack of occupancy sensors within residential spaces would not result in substantial impact on birds. The project design would comply with this requirement.
While full build out of the TESP would have a significant and unavoidable bird strike impact, the proposed project is consistent with the TESP FEIR and, by itself, would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified impact with implementation of the conditions of project approval.
Increased Lighting
As mentioned previously, the project’s lighting plan is not yet available. It is reasonable to assume that the proposed project would include internal building lights, parking garage lights, pathway lights, security lights, and external building lights. While the TESP FEIR identified increased lighting on-site as an impact on bird species in the high value habitat areas on and adjacent to the TESP area, the project site is not located near these habitat areas and is already developed. Due to the project site’s location and consistent with mitigation measure BIO-4.1, exterior lighting within the TESP area will be shielded as needed to block illumination from shining upward, or outward into the Guadalupe River and Ulistac Natural Area. Furthermore, the project would be subject to the City’s architectural review process prior to issuance of building permits, consistent with mitigation measure BIO-4.1, to ensure that the project would not adversely impact bird species. As a result, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified impact.

Consistent with mitigation measure BIO-10.2 and General Plan Policy 5.3.1-P10, any tree removed would be required to be replaced at a 2:1 ratio on-site. As proposed, all 18 on-site trees would be removed, and the project would be required to plant 36 new trees. Based on the plans provided by the applicant, the applicant proposes a total of 43 trees on-site, which is consistent with the City’s tree replacement requirement. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new tree impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified impact.
3.4 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
The following analysis addresses the potential for soil and groundwater contamination on the project site. Given the age of the buildings in the TESP area, the TESP FEIR concluded that the buildings would likely contain asbestos and/or lead-based paint. Remediation of asbestos and lead-based paint must be in accordance with national regulatory guidelines and Cal/OSHA standards. The regulatory requirements are incorporated by reference and no further analysis is required.
Impacts on airport safety, schools, and emergency operation plans would be the same on all project sites within the TESP area given that the projects would have to be designed consistent with the development standards established by the TESP. The TESP FEIR found impacts to airport safety, schools, and emergency operation plans to be less than significant.
3.4.1 Findings of the Previously Certified FEIR`
Based on the TESP FEIR, the project site historically consisted of agricultural land including row crops and orchards. One leaking underground storage tank (LUST) case was discussed in the TESP FEIR. In addition, four facilities within the TESP area have been identified in the Regional Water
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 37 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
Quality Control Board’s (RWQCB) Spills, Leaks, Investigations, and Cleanup (SLIC) database. Of the four on-site facilities, three are currently identified as open cases as discussed below.
Leaking Underground Storage Tank Cases
In 1988, a 2,000-gallon gasoline underground storage tank (UST) was removed from 2200 Calle De Luna. The LUST case has been closed by Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) as of 1995.
The most recent sampling event found concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) and benzene at the site.
Spills, Leaks, Investigations, and Cleanup (SLIC) Sites In 1997, RWQCB closed the SLIC case at 2339 Calle Del Mundo, however, residual concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remained in the soil and groundwater that pose a potential vapor intrusion concern. The VOC impacted groundwater appears to have migrated below the northerly adjacent landfill property.
VOCs were identified in the groundwater at 2301 Calle De Luna and have migrated below the easterly adjacent parcel at 2281 Calle De Luna. This open SLIC case is currently being overseen by the RWQCB.
The two remaining SLIC cases at 2278 Calle De Luna (Coatek, Inc.) and 2200 & 2222 Calle De Luna (Air Flight Service) are being overseen by the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health (SCCDEH). The Air Flight Service property was found to have elevated levels of TPH as diesel (TPHd) that are unrelated to the prior film processing done on the property. The Coatek, Inc. property was found to have elevated nickel and copper concentrations related to the industrial land use activities on the southern portion of the TESP area. Oil, grease, trichloroethene (TCE), TPH as motor oil (TPHmo), hexavalent chromium, and benzene concentrations were also found to be elevated above residential screening levels. Both facilities have entered into Voluntary Cleanup Agreements with SCCDEH.
All Purpose Landfill
The former Santa Clara All Purpose Landfill (landfill) is a closed municipal landfill with a footprint of approximately 136 acres located adjacent to the TESP area. Portions of the landfill have been converted into a public golf course, and the remainder is open space. The landfill consists of four parcels: 1, 2, 3/6, and 4. Parcel 2 is located adjacent to the north of the TESP area and Parcel 4 is across Lafayette Street to the west. Parcels 1 and 3/6 are located further to the north and northwest.
Groundwater beneath the landfill, primarily on Parcel 4, is impacted with VOCs. The primary VOCs detected in groundwater samples collected during the first quarter of 2016 were 1,1 dicholorethene, cis-1,2-dicholoroetehene (cis-1,2-DCE), trans-1,2-dicholoroethene, TCE, and vinyl chloride. The area of VOC impacted on parcel 4 is located cross-gradient from the site with respect to groundwater flow direction (northeast) and did not migrate below the Plan Area. Two groundwater monitoring wells are located on the southern border of the landfill (Parcel 2) and immediately north of the TESP area. Low concentrations of VOCs have been detected in ground water from both monitoring wells, one of which is located down-gradient of 2339 Calle Del Mundo, an identified SLIC site discussed above. Landfill gas investigations were conducted at the landfill and identified several VOCs in
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 38 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
landfill gas. Benzene, ethylbenzene, and vinyl chloride were reported in landfill gas at concentrations exceeding residential and commercial Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs).
Given the industrial use of the site and prior agricultural uses and LUST case, residual hazardous materials contamination is anticipated to be present on-site and could impact construction workers and adjacent land uses if disturbed during demolition or construction. The following mitigation measures are included in the TESP FEIR.
Impact HAZ-1: Existing hazardous materials contamination in soils and groundwater on the site has the potential to impact construction workers and adjacent land uses if disturbed during demolition or construction of new buildings and structures on the site.
MM HAZ-1.1: Prior to the start of any demolition or construction activity, a property- specific Phase I ESA shall be completed in accordance with ASTM Standard Designation E 1527-13 (or most recent version) to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions, evaluate the property history, identify active and abandoned wells, and establish if the property is likely to have been impacted by chemical releases. Soil, soil vapor and/or groundwater quality studies shall subsequently be conducted, if warranted based on the findings on the property-specific Phase I ESAs to evaluate if mitigation measures are needed to protect the health and safety of site occupants. All site mitigation measures identified in the property-specific Phase I and II ESAs shall be completed under the oversight of an appropriate regulatory agency, such as the DEH, DTSC, or RWQCB. Any required cleanup/remediation of the site during development activities shall meet all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, and requirements. The project applicant shall provide the appropriate oversight agency’s written approval of the site mitigation measures to the City of Santa Clara prior to the issuance of a demolition and/or grading permit.
MM HAZ-1.2: At properties where VOCs are identified as contaminants of concern (COC), the potential for vapor intrusion shall be evaluated. A Vapor Intrusion Investigation Work Plan shall be submitted to the overseeing regulatory agency for review and approval. The plan shall include soil vapor sampling for VOCs in areas of concern. The soil vapor sampling shall be conducted in conformance with DTSC’s July 2015 advisory titled Active Soil Gas Investigations. A minimum of two soil vapor sampling events (with soil vapor concentrations less than the most conservative residential or commercial screening levels – as appropriate) is required to document that mitigation measures are not required; additional sampling events may be required by the overseeing regulatory agency.
MM HAZ-1.3: The need for vapor intrusion mitigation measures will be dependent upon the planned building design and the results of the Vapor Intrusion Investigation.
Prior to redevelopment of the site, a report assessing the potential for vapor intrusion shall be submitted to and approved by the overseeing regulatory
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 39 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
agency. The assessment shall be conducted in general conformance with DTSC’s Guidance for the Evaluation and Mitigation of Subsurface Vapor Intrusion to Indoor Air (Vapor Intrusion Guidance) dated October 2011.
MM HAZ-1.4: Prior to the start of any construction activity on properties with known COC exceeding the lower of the then-current DTSC, the RWQCB or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) residential screening levels, the project proponent shall submit the following plans to the overseeing regulatory agency for review and approval:
• Corrective Action Plan. An appropriate corrective action plan (e.g. remedial action plan, removal action workplace, etc.) shall be prepared that reflects the results of the above investigations. Site cleanup levels presented in the plan shall be based on a target cancer risk of 0.00001 or, for non-carcinogens, a target hazard quotient (THQ) of 1.0. The lower of the then-current DTSC, RWQCB, or EPA residential screening levels shall be used to interpret the TR and THQ levels or, alternatively, a site- specific human health risk assessment shall be prepared and approved by the overseeing regulatory agency. Higher cleanup goals may be acceptable, if approved in writing by the oversight agency. The project applicant shall provide an oversight agency’s written approval of the corrective action plan to the City of Santa Clara prior to issuance of a demolition and/or grading permit. Leaving contaminated soil (above residential screening levels and, for metals, above background concentrations) in-place or re-using contaminated soil shall require the oversight agency’s written approval. At a minimum, if contaminated soil is left in-place, a deed restriction or land use covenant shall detail the location of the soil. This document shall include a surveyed map of the location of the impacted soil and shall restrict future excavation in the impacted area unless approved in writing by an oversight agency.
• Air Monitoring Plan. This plan shall assess the potential for exposure of construction workers and neighboring occupants adjoining the property to COCs during construction activities; this plan shall specify measures to be implemented if COC concentrations exceed threshold values.
• Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan and Associated Documents. If the Vapor Instruction Investigation identifies the need for mitigation measures, a Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan shall be prepared that describes the measures to be a result of vapor intrusion. The Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan will require the project applicant to design the proposed occupied spaces with appropriate structural and engineering features to reduce risk of vapor intrusion into buildings. At a minimum, this design shall include:
1) passive sub-slab ventilation with a spray applied vapor barrier (and with the ability to convert the system from passive to active ventilation), 2) monitoring to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the remedy, and 3) the implementation of institutional controls. Other designs would be

acceptable is approved in writing by the overseeing regulatory agency.
The Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan shall be submitted for agency review and approval. DTSC’s October 2011 Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Advisory provides useful guidance in selecting, designing, and implementing appropriate response actions for sites where a potential vapor intrusion risk has been identified. A completed report shall be submitted to the overseeing regulatory agency upon completion of construction of the mitigation system. The report shall document installation of the vapor control measures identified in the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan and present final as-built design drawings. A Long-Term Operations, Maintenance, and Monitoring Plan (OMMP) also shall be submitted for agency approval that presents the actions to be taken following construction to maintain and monitor the vapor intrusion mitigation system, and a contingency plan should the vapor mitigation system fail. A financial assurance mechanism shall additionally be established (i.e. proof that adequate funds are available for long-term maintenance and monitoring of the vapor intrusion mitigation system) and described in the OMMP.
MM HAZ-1.5: A Site Management Plan (SMP) and Health and Safety Plan (HSP) shall be developed to establish appropriate management practices for handling and monitoring of impacted soil, soil vapor, and groundwater that potentially may be encountered during construction activities. The SMP shall be prepared by an Environmental Professional and be submitted to the overseeing regulatory agency (e.g. RWQCB, DTSC and/or DEH) for review and approval prior to commencing construction activities. The SMP also shall be provided to the City of Santa Clara. Prior to the start of any construction activity that involves below ground work (i.e. mass grading, foundation construction, excavating or utility trenching), information regarding site risk management procedures, including copies of the HSP and SMP, shall be provided to the contractors for their review, and each contractor shall provide such information to its subcontractors. The SMP and HSP measures shall be incorporated into the project design documents:
• Site control procedures to control the flow of personnel, vehicles and materials in and out of the site;
• Measures to minimize dust generation, stormwater runoff and tracking of soil off-site;
• Protocols for conducting earthwork activities in areas where impacted soil, soil vapor and/or groundwater are present or suspected. Worker training requirements, health and safety measures and material handling procedures shall be described;
• Perimeter air monitoring for dust during any activity that significantly disturbs impacted site soil (i.e. mass grading, foundation construction, excavating or utility trenching) to document the effectiveness of dust control measures;
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 41 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• Protocols to be implemented if buried structures, wells, debris, or unidentified areas of impacted soil are encountered during site development activities;
• Protocols to characterize/profile soil suspected of being contaminated so appropriate mitigation, disposal or reuse alternatives, if necessary, can be implemented. Soil in contact with impacted groundwater shall be assumed contaminated. All soil excavated and transported from this site shall be appropriately disposed of at a permitted facility; • Stockpiling protocols for “clean” and “impacted” soil; • Decontamination procedures to reduce the potential for construction equipment and vehicles to release contaminated soil onto public roadways or other off-site transfer;
• Procedures to evaluate and document the quality of any soil imported to the site. Soil containing chemicals exceeding residential (unrestricted use) screening levels or typical background concentrations of metals shall not be accepted. The DTSC’s Clean Fill Advisory (October 2001 or latest version) provides useful guidance on evaluating imported fill; • Methods to monitor excavations and trenches for the potential presence of VOC impacted vapors. Mitigation protocols shall be developed and implemented in the event elevated VOC vapors are released during excavation activities that may pose a risk to construction worker health and/or risk to the health of occupants of neighboring properties; • Protocols to evaluate if the residual contaminants will adversely impact the integrity of below ground utility lines and/or structures (i.e. the potential for corrosion due to subsurface contamination) • Measures to reduce soil vapor and groundwater migration through trench backfill and utility conduits. Such measures shall include placement of low-permeability backfill “plugs” at specified intervals on-site and at all locations where the utility trenches (within impacted soil or groundwater) extend off-site. In addition, utility conduits that are placed below groundwater shall be installed with water-tight fittings to reduce the potential for groundwater to migrate into the conduits. • Measures to help reduce the potential for the downward migration of contaminated groundwater if deep foundation systems are proposed.
These measures shall be identified in the geotechnical investigation report and implemented as part of the development plans.
MM HAZ-1.6: The project applicant’s environmental professional shall assist in the implementation of the SMP and shall, at a minimum, perform part-time observation services during demolition, excavation, grading and trenching activities. Upon completion of construction activities, the environmental professional shall prepare a report documenting compliance with the SMP; this report shall be submitted to the oversight regulatory agency and the City of Santa Clara.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 42 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
With implementation of the identified measures, development under the TESP would have a less than significant impact related to soil and groundwater contamination.
3.4.2 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Project The project would demolish the existing light industrial building (approximately 13,720 square feet) and associated surface parking lot) and construct a 21-story, residential building with up to 198 residential units and approximately 3,008 square feet of retail.
Groundwater on-site has been encountered at a depth ranging from five to eight feet below the ground surface (bgs) and flows in the southeastern11 direction. Fluctuations in the groundwater level may occur due to seasonal changes, variations in rainfall, and underground drainage patterns.
Consistent with mitigation measures HAZ-1.1 and HAZ-1.2, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Phase II ESA dated July 2018 and July 2019, respectively, was completed by AllWest Environmental. Copies of the reports are provided in Appendices C and D.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
On-Site Sources of Contamination
Based on a review of the project site, the site is listed within the Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRIS), HAZNET databases for the disposal and generation of small quantities of hazardous waste. No violations were identified. Based on the Phase I ESA, disposal and generation of small quantities of hazardous waste were determined not to be a recognized environmental concern (REC).
Off-Site Sources of Contamination
Within a one-mile radius of the project site, 53 off-site facilities were identified on various databases.
None of the off-site facilities were determined to represent a significant environmental concern for the site because 1) the facility has a case closed status, 2) the distance of the facility from the project site and/or the location of the release relative to groundwater flow, and/or 3) the site has been determined not to be an REC.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
In July 2019, AllWest Environmental, Inc. prepared a Phase II ESA to assess the project’s soil and groundwater quality. Five borings (B-1 to B-5) were advanced in June 2019 to collect 18 soil samples and three groundwater samples [B-1(GW), B-2(GW), and B-5(GW)].
One soil sample was collected from each boring and was analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel and motor oil (TPH-d and TPH-mo), total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPH-g), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polynuclear aromatics and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs/PAHs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) p,p-Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p,p-DDT),
11 Per the Phase I and II ESAs, the local topography is relatively flat and groundwater flow directions has been documented as variable on adjacent properties.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 43 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
CAM 17 metals and hexavalent chromium (Cr6). The three groundwater samples were analyzed for TPH-d, TPH-mo, TPH-g, VOCs, PNAs/PAHs, CAM 17 metals, and CR6.
Concentrations of arsenic and vanadium were found in all five soil samples exceeding their respective RWQCB Tier 1 Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs). Total lead was detected in soil samples B-3 and B-4 exceeding its respective Tier 1 ESL. None of the detected metal concentrations, including lead, exceeded Tier 2 ESLs except for arsenic. Arsenic and vanadium concentrations are within typical regional background levels. None of the detected metals concentrations exceeded State of California Title 22 Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) hazardous waste levels.
Low concentrations of various metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, VOCs, PAH/PAHs, and OCP p,p’- DDT were detected in several soil samples; however, none of the soil samples exceeded its respective Tier 1 ESLs with the exception of sample B-3. Organochlorine Pesticides p,p-DDT was detected in sample B-3 which slightly exceeds its Tier 1 ESL. No other constituents of concern (COCs) were detected in the soil samples exceeding their respective ESLs.
Concentrations of naphthalene was found exceeding its respective Tier 1 ESL in all groundwater samples. Organochlorine Pesticides p,p-DDT and Molybdenum was detected in sample B-1 (GW) exceeding its respective Tier 1 ESL. Nickel and cobalt were detected in sample B-3 (GW) exceeding their respective Tier 1 ESL. No other COCs were detected in the groundwater samples exceeding their respective Tier 1 ESLs. Low concentrations of various metals, TPH-mo, VOCs and PAH/PAHs were detected in the groundwater but were not exceeding their respective Tier 1 ESLs.
Based on the findings of the Phase I and II ESAs, the slightly elevated COC concentrations identified on-site would not impact human health or the environment. Consistent with the TESP FEIR, the project would be required to implement mitigation measures HAZ-1.4 to HAZ-1.6 to ensure that the proposed development would not exacerbate any potentially existing hazardous materials contamination. Therefore, the project would not result in new or more substantive hazardous materials impacts than were previously identified in the TESP FEIR.
3.5 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
The following analysis addresses the projects consistency with the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP).
Because the proposed project is consistent with the development assumptions in the TESP FEIR, water quality impacts from construction would be consistent with the conclusions of the FEIR.
Furthermore, the project would be consistent with the findings of the FEIR regarding groundwater, drainage, and inundation hazards. No further discussion of these issues is provided.
3.5.1 Findings of the Previously Certified FEIR
Post-Construction Stormwater Treatment
The TESP FEIR states that all projects within the TESP area are required to comply with the MRP and C.3 stormwater treatment regulations. The TESP FEIR concluded that compliance with regulatory requirements would result in a less than significant water quality impact.
3.5.1.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 44 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
3.5.2 Hydrology and Water Quality Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Project Post-Construction Stormwater Treatment
Consistent with the TESP FEIR, the proposed project would be required to comply with the MRP and NPDES requirements. The project proposes to treat runoff from the project site with a media filter and flow-through planters. The final stormwater control plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City at the development permit stage. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified hydrology and water quality impacts.
3.6 NOISE AND VIBRATION
The following analysis addresses the potential operational noise impacts that would result from the proposed project. Because the project is consistent with the development assumptions in the TESP FEIR, construction noise and vibration would be consistent with the conclusions of the FEIR and all identified mitigation measures would be required and are incorporated by reference. No further discussion of construction noise and vibration is provided.
Operational noise issues pertaining to mechanical equipment, traffic noise, and aircraft noise was found to be less than significant in the TESP FEIR. Because the project is consistent with the development assumptions in the TESP FEIR, the proposed project would also have a less than significant impact. No further analysis for operational noise is required.
3.6.1 Findings of the Previously Certified FEIR
With limited exceptions like airport noise, CEQA does not address the effects of existing environmental conditions on a project. The TESP FEIR analyzed aircraft noise as a CEQA impact and concluded that the impact would be less than significant, as the anticipated noise levels would be compatible with the proposed land uses with respect to the guidelines set forth in the Airport Master Plan. Since the proposed project is located within the TESP area and is consistent with the development projections in the TESP FEIR, the project’s aircraft noise impacts would also be less than significant. For noise from sources other than aircraft, the City of Santa Clara addressed the effect of existing noise sources on future residents in the TESP area as a planning consideration.
The predominant sources of noise that affect the noise environment within the TESP area and at nearby land uses results primarily from vehicular traffic along Lafayette Street and Tasman Drive.
Traffic along the local streets within the TESP area, which include Calle Del Mundo and Calle De Luna, also affect the ambient noise environment. Aircraft associated with Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport and trains passing along the Lick Mill Light Rail Transit Station and Great America Station also contribute to the noise environment in the area. Levi’s Stadium, approximately 1,352 feet away from the project area, periodically contributes to the noise environment during large events such as NFL games and concerts. Based on findings from the 2009 Stadium EIR4F 12, residences
within 2,000 feet of the stadium would experience elevated exterior noise levels during events which would result in a significant unavoidable impact.

Future Exterior Noise Levels
Based on the long-term measurements made within the TESP area, future exterior noise levels would be 70 A-weighted decibel (dBA) Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) along Tasman Drive, 74 dBA CNEL along Lafayette Street, and up to 67 dBA CNEL along the future Lick Mill Boulevard extension. Residential development proposed along these roadways would be incompatible with noise levels established for residential outdoor activity areas. The following conditions of approval were included in the TESP FEIR to reduce exterior noise levels at common outdoor activity areas consistent with the City’s General Plan:
• Do not locate common outdoor activity areas immediately adjacent to Tasman Drive, Lafayette Street, or the future Lick Mill Boulevard extension. • Utilize site planning by placing outdoor activity areas in courtyards, on shielded podium levels (sky gardens) or rooftops, or behind buildings adjoining Tasman Drive, Lafayette Street, and Lick Mill Boulevard. Development adjacent to existing and planned open space shall be designed to provide shielding of the open space from Tasman Drive, Lafayette Street, and Lick Mill Boulevard.
Future Interior Noise Levels
Commercial Land Uses
Interior noise levels would vary depending upon the design of the buildings (relative window area to wall area) and the selected construction materials and methods. The CALGreen Code establishes that interior noise levels shall be maintained at 50 dBA Leq(1-hr) or less during hours of operation at any proposed commercial buildings. Standard commercial construction provides approximately 30 dBA of exterior-to-interior noise reduction. At a distance of 50 feet from Lafayette Street along the western edge of the project site, the future noise level would be up to 77 dBA. At a distance of 65 feet from Tasman Drive along the southern edge of the project site, the future noise level would be up to 74 dBA. Standard construction would result in compatible interior noise levels in commercial uses within the plan area.
Residential Land Uses
The City of Santa Clara requires that interior noise levels be maintained at 45 dBA CNEL or less for residences. Interior noise levels would vary depending upon the design of the buildings (relative window area to wall area) and the selected construction materials and methods. 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 CNEL, 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 CNEL, forced-air mechanical ventilation systems and sound-rated construction methods are normally required. Such 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.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 46 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
According to the TESP FEIR, sound levels would range from 72 to 74 dBA CNEL at a distance of 50 feet from the southern and western border of the TESP area. Future interior noise levels at the plan area would be up to 55 dBA CNEL, which exceeds the 45 dBA CNEL threshold of the General Plan.
The TESP FEIR includes the following conditions of project approval to reduce interior noise levels to 45 dBA CNEL or less:
• Assuming a conservative estimated ratio of 30 percent windows/doors to total wall area, preliminary calculations indicate that the facades of high-density residential buildings having line-of-sight to Lafayette Street would require windows and doors with a minimum STC rating of 30 to meet the interior noise threshold established by the City. • Along the façades having direct line-of-sight to Tasman Drive and Lick Mill Boulevard, the minimum required STC rating for windows and doors would be 26. • Provide a suitable form of forced-air mechanical ventilation, as determined by the Community Development Director, for all residential units in the plan area so that windows can be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion to control interior noise and achieve the interior noise standards.
• A qualified acoustical consultant shall review the final site plans, building elevations, and floor plans of the proposed residential buildings and make recommendations for noise insulation to reduce interior noise levels to 45 dBA CNEL or less. Treatments would include, but are not limited to, forced-air mechanical ventilation systems, sound-rated wall and window constructions, acoustical caulking, protected ventilation openings, etc. The specific determination of what noise insulation treatments are necessary shall be conducted during final design of the project. Results of the analysis, including the description of the necessary noise control treatments, shall be submitted to the City, along with the building plans and approved design, prior to issuance of a building permit.
3.6.2 Noise and Vibration Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Project In July 2023, Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc. prepared an Interior Noise Assessment for the proposed project. A copy of this report is provided in Appendix E.
Exterior Noise Levels
Future noise levels along Lafayette Street and Tasman Drive were calculated as part of the TESP Traffic/Construction Noise Update Memorandum.13 At a distance of 50 feet from the southern and western border of the TESP area, noise levels would range from 72 to 74 dBA CNEL. Noise levels would range from 62 to 67 dBA CNEL throughout the remainder of the site due to vehicular traffic along Calle De Luna and Calle Del Sol, as well as aircraft associated with Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport.
The project site would be subject to noise generated primarily by vehicular traffic along Lafayette Street and the UPRR. The worst-case noise exposure would occur along the western building façade, approximately 60 feet from the Lafayette Street centerline. At this distance, future exterior noise
13 Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc. Tasman East SEIR Traffic/Construction Noise Update Memo. December 2, 2022. The updated analysis confirmed that noise levels along Tasman Drive and Lafayette Street would not be substantially different than those previously disclosed in the TESP FEIR.
3.6.2.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 47 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
levels would be up to 74 dBA CNEL.
Where exterior noise levels range from 60 to 65 dBA CNEL, adequate forced-air mechanical ventilation can reduce interior noise levels to acceptable levels by allowing occupants the option of closing the windows to reduce noise. Where noise levels exceed 65 dBA CNEL, adequate forced-air mechanical ventilation systems and sound-rated construction methods (e.g., 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/or mechanical ventilation) would be required.
As proposed, the building would include private balconies. Per the TESP FEIR, private terraces or balconies within mid/high density residential developments are not typically considered sensitive to exterior noise levels. The project proposes private open space on floors one, six, and 21. The proposed open space would be set back from Lafayette Street by the proposed parkway and landscaping by approximately 31 feet at the northern end of the site and 20 feet at the southern end of the site. Nevertheless, the proposed project would be required to comply with the conditions of project approval identified in the TESP FEIR to reduce exterior noise levels at common outdoor activity areas. As a result, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified impact.
Interior Noise Levels
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.
Consistent with the conditions of project approval in the TESP FEIR, the proposed site plan and building elevations were reviewed and interior noise levels from exterior noise sources were quantified by Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc. to determine the necessary building treatments to meet the City’s interior noise standard. To maintain a habitable interior environment, all dwelling units should be mechanically ventilated so that windows and doors can be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion. The following noise insulation features shall be incorporated, as a condition of project approval, to reduce interior noise levels to meet the City’s interior noise threshold.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• The proposed retail space and residential units located on floors two to five shall have windows and doors with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 35 or greater to meet the interior noise threshold established by California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) requirements.
• The proposed residential units along the western (sixth floor and above) and portions of the northern and southern building façades closest to Lafayette Street shall have windows and doors with a STC rating of 32 or greater to meet the interior noise threshold established by the City.
• The remaining building façades shall have windows and doors with a STC rating of 28 or greater.
3.6.2.2 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 48 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• A suitable form of force-air mechanical ventilation, as determined by the local building official, shall be provided to all dwelling units on-site so that windows can be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion.
• If substantive changes are made to the design of the project prior to building department submittal, a qualified acoustical consultant shall confirm the noise insulation recommendations based on the final site plans, building elevations, and floor plans of the proposed building. Results of the analysis, including the description of the necessary noise control treatments, shall be submitted to the City, along with the building plans and approved design, prior to issuance of a building permit.
With implementation of the conditions of approval identified above, the interior noise levels would be below 45 dBA CNEL within the residential units and below 50 dBA Leq within the retail space. As a result, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified impact.
3.7 CONCLUSION
Based on the above analysis and discussion, no substantive revisions are needed to the TESP FEIR, because no new significant impacts or impacts of substantially greater severity would result from the proposed project. There have been no changes in circumstance in the project area that would result in new significant environmental impacts or substantially more severe impacts, and no new information has come to light that would indicate the potential for new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts than were discussed in the TSEP FEIR. Therefore, no further evaluation is required, and no Subsequent EIR is needed pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and an EIR Addendum has therefore appropriately been prepared, pursuant to Section 15164.

Construction Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Materials & Waste Manag ement
Non- Haza rdou s Mate rials
□ Benn and cover stockpiles of sand. din or other construction material withtarpswhenrainisforecastorwhentheyarcnotinuse
0 Use (but don't overuse) reclaimed wate r for dust control. 0 Ensure dust control water doesn '1 leave site or discharge to stonn drnins.
Hazardo us Materi.a ls
0 Label all hazardous materials and hazardous wastes (such as pesticides, paints, thinners, solvents, fuel, oil, and am ifreeze) in accordance with City, County, State and Federal regulations. 0 Store hazardous materials and wastes in water tight containers, store in appropriate secondary containment, and cover them at the end of every work day or during wet weather or when rain is forecast. 0 Follow manufacturer's application instructions for hawrdous materials and du not use more than necessary. Do not app ly chemicals outdoors when rain is forecast with in 24 hours. 0 Arrange for appropr iate disposal of all ha7..ardous wastes.
Wa ste Ma nagemen t
□ Cover and maintain dumpsters. Check frequent ly for leaks. Place dumpsters under roofs or cover with tarps or plastic sheeting secure d around the outside of the dumpster . A plastic liner is recommended lo prevent leaks. Never clean out a dumpster by hosing it down on the construction site.
0 Place portable toilets away from stoITTl drains. Make sure they are in good working onkr . Check frequently for kaks.
0 Dispose of all wastes and demolition debr is properly . Recycle materials and wastes that can be recycl ed, including solvents, walcr hasecl paints, vehic le fluids, broken asphalt and concrc1c, wood, and clean:d vegetation.
0 Dispose ofliqu id residues from paints , thinners, solvents, glues, and cleaning fluids as hazardous waste .
□ Keep site free of litter (e.g. lunc h items, cigarette butts). 0 Prevent litter from uncovered loads by covering loads that are being cransportcd to and from site.
Cons tr uction [ntranees and Perimeter
0 Establish and maintain effective perimeter wntrols and stabi lize all constrnction entrances and exits to sufficient ly control eros ion and sediment discharges from site and tracking off site
0 Sweep or vacuum any street tracking immediately and secure sediment source to prevent further tracking. Never hose down streets tocle;in uptnu;king.
Construction project s are required to implement year -round stormwater BMPs.
Equipment Management &
Spill Control
Ma intenance and Parki ng
0 Designat e an area of the construction site, well away from streams or stOITTl dmin inlets and filled with
;ipprupriate BMPs, for auto and equipment p,1rking,
and s1orage.
0 Perform major maintenance, repair jobs , and vehicle
and equipment washing off site.
0 If refueling or vehicle maintenance must be done

Comments on Proposed 21-story Residential Building at 5185 Lafayette Street.
September 13, 2023
Files: 5185ReviewText.pdf, 5185ReviewPictures.pdf
by Ron Patrick, ,
I own the property adjacent and directly north of the proposed development at 5185 Lafayette. My property’s address is 5191 Lafayette. Our properties are separated by an alleyway by which I access my property (see Figure 1). I have been operating a business at this location for over a decade, have experienced the effects of the Summerhill and Related developments north and south of my property, and because of this I have a good insight into the impact and problems of the proposed development.
This proposed development has several major problems which are not addressed in the documentation presented.
1. Overloading my property with above-ground utilities: The proposed development will require considerable power and internet services. A condition of approval is that power and internet services on the development site will be put underground. However, once the power and internet wires leave the development, they return above ground on the old wooden power poles. These poles are on my property. The poles in front of my building and between the buildings are overloaded and bending and the wires are hanging low (see Figures 2, 3, and 4). These poles and the wires look like what you would expect to see in a third-world country. The wires on the poles are so precariously hung that they regularly tear loose during wind storms. The proposed development at 5185 will add to the wires carried by these poles. When my property is developed, all of the wiring added to the poles as a result of the proposed development will have to be put underground. This means that I will be paying for their development. This diminishes the value of my property since the cost to put these lines underground will have to be paid by me or a subsequent owner of my property. Putting wires underground after the proposed 21-story development is built (as opposed to before) will result in far more problems since there will be hundreds of people in the building. I would like for the developer to pay for moving all above-ground utilities on my property and those between our properties underground.
2. Existing utility encroachments on my property: There are currently 5 unlawful utility encroachments on my property (see Figure 5). None of these encroachments supply services to my building. When Tasman East was purely a business park, I allowed these encroachments because they did not impact the operations in my building. However due to the transition of the park to residential usage and the great increase in people and traffic that will be brought by the proposed development, I will have to gate my parking lots. Four of these unlawful encroachments make the gating of my property problematic, dangerous, and costly. All four of these encroachments service the development at 5185 Lafayette. They must be removed immediately and the developer should pay for the gating required to control the impact of his development on my property. This should be done prior to the start of the project.
3. Due to number of people moving into the neighborhood and the limited parking available, it is necessary to build a fence around my property to control trespassing and illegal parking. Utilities must
not be located in a way that interferes with my fence. This means that the developer, SVP, and other utilities must work with me during the planning stage of any work impacting my property to avoid any conflicts.
4. The proposed project will cast a huge shadow covering over one-half of my property during the first half of the day. This can be seen by the shadow cast by the 21-story building that Related has built beside the proposed development. This shadowing will stop energy production of solar cells currently on my roof and will eliminate any opportunities for me to expand my solar cell farm. My loss in energy due to shadowing will be over $30/day or approximately $900/month. This calculation is based on a loss of 3 hrs of energy on 4000 ft2 roof with 0.13 W/in2 cells and a cost of energy of $0.15/kWhr. I would like the developer to pay me for the energy he will be blocking from reaching my building.
5. As part of the operation of my business, vehicle engine noise and vehicle exhaust emissions will come from the back of my building facing the proposed development. This will occur anytime during the day.
The developer must insure that his windows and walls are sufficient to keep the noise and exhaust from impacting his residents. In addition, the developer must ensure that his residents will be aware and accepting of the vehicle noise and exhaust prior to their renting an apartment should the construction prove to be insufficient.
6. Interfering with my business during construction: The proposed development is on a corner. That means construction has to be performed across the two alleyways behind the development (see Figure 1). The longest of these two alleyways is the only way I can access my business. In addition, this alleyway is a main thoroughfare for power in the Tasman East project and is above-ground on 50+ year old overloaded wooden power poles. If you visit the site, you will quickly realize how small the site is and how close it is to other active businesses. There is no plan ensuring I can operate my business without interruption during construction. I would like developer to maintain a fund that will compensate me for interrupting my business at the rate of $50,000/day.
7. Interfering with my business after construction: The only way I can access my property is via the alleyway between our buildings. The developer proposes to use that alleyway for residents’ access to
his building. This usage will overload the alleyway and make it difficult to move cars and trucks onto my property. I would like the developer to modify his design to reduce the development’s use of the alleyway between our buildings.
8. The only parking for the development is indoors. That will create a demand for parking outside of their building. My parking lots are the closest available. The developer should pay for gates to block their tenants from using my parking.
10. There is no staging area for the construction. The proposed development has 81% coverage of the property, is on a corner, and is surrounded by active businesses. My employees will not allow me to permit a construction crane to swing over my property. The main alleyway between our properties is the only way vehicles can enter or exit my property and this alleyway contains above-ground power lines. If the developer demolishes the building east of me (2354 Calle Del Mundo) that they own and uses that area to stage the construction, they will risk damaging my building (due to the shared footing) and still will have extremely constrained access to their development.
11. Page INT2 of the development plans show that power lines on the Lafayette side of the building will be moved underground. However, the majority of the power lines near the building run above-ground behind the proposed development in the alleyway (see Figure 4). This is not shown in the drawing.
These lines must be moved underground to free up more space in the alleyway for traffic. If improperly performed, this work will cause a major interruption of power and web service to my building.
12. This proposed project does not take into consideration the effects of the Newark-Northern Receiving Station HVDC Project. https://www.lspgridcalifornia.com/newark/ . This project is a major upgrade of
the power distribution in Santa Clara and runs along Lafayette both above and below ground. The power distribution structure in Tasman East is primarily an above ground system of 50+ year old wooden power poles with a major line for Tasman East running along the alley between the proposed development and my building. The documentation for the development does not mention, consider, or integrate the HVDC project with the development although it is sure to be affected by it.
13. During construction, I will have a continuous problem with workmen trespassing on my property, parking on my property, garbage blowing onto my property, noise, and dust. The Summerhill and Related projects are a block away and I have problems with their workers. No amount of signage, towing cars, or warning construction management reduces the problems. My morning often begins with towing worker’s vehicles off my property to make parking available for my employees. When these illegally-parked vehicles are towed, I often have to deal with angry men knocking on our door demanding to know what happened to their vehicles. During lunch, the workers throw their garbage on the ground and it blows onto my property where we have to clean it up every day. Starting Sunday night through Thursday night, construction workers sleep in their vehicles on the roads near the development. They use my lawn as a toilet. I would like for the developer to provide security at my facility to prevent the parking of their workers on my property, to prevent trespassing on my property, and to clean my property of garbage each day during construction.
14. Break-ins and Property Crime: The property crime in Tasman East has increased greatly during the construction. When a building is vacant, it attracts people who want to live in the building. When a building is torn down, it attracts people who scavenge from the site. During construction, tools and construction supplies attract thieves to the site. Since my property is adjacent to the proposed development, my property will be subjected to the whims of these same people. I would like the developer to provide 24hr, 7 day/week manned on-site security to protect my adjacent site from the people they will attracting. This security must begin as soon as the existing building is vacant.
15. Dangerous ingress and egress off of Lafayette (see Figure 7): The project’s indoor parking is to be entered and exited via alleys on the backside of the property and two entrance/exit points. These alleys are narrow, and were designed for one-direction truck travel. As currently designed, most traffic will enter the proposed property via Lafayette. It is well-documented that northbound Lafayette has some of the fastest traffic in Santa Clara. This entrance is a narrow pinch-point and the development has not put any radius on the entrance (as you can see on the corner on Lafayette and Calle de Luna). Vehicles travelling southbound on Lafayette, after making the u-turn at Calle de Luna will have 100’ to cross over two lanes of traffic to make the entrance. All vehicles entering and exiting Lafayette will have to go very slowly to avoid bottoming out their vehicle on the road since Lafayette has a severe longitudinal drain (ie. gutter) to drain the high volume of water on Lafayette during rainstorms. The combination of fast traffic on Lafayette, cars crossing two lanes quickly after making a u-turn on Calle de Luna, no radiuses on the corner, and slow ingress and egress traffic to/from the alley will create several dangerous traffic conditions. I would like the developer to consider means to reduce or eliminate traffic on the East-West alleyway behind this development that leads onto Lafayette.
16. We live in an earthquake zone, Tasman East is built on landfill, and the 21-story building is very close to my one-story building. I see no stabilizing mechanism or deep pillars in the proposed design. What assures me that the building will not collapse onto my building during an earthquake?

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Addendum was prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). See Attachment 4 for the Addendum. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states that when an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been certified or a Negative Declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the Lead Agency determines on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record that substantial changes or new information of substantial importance has been identified.
The City of Santa Clara certified the Tasman East Specific Plan (TESP) EIR (SCH#2016122027, File Nos. CEQ2016-01026, PLN2016-12400). Based on the proposed project description and knowledge of the project site (based on the environmental review prepared for the TESP FEIR), the City concludes that the proposed project would not result in any new impacts not previously disclosed in the TESP FEIR and would not result in a substantial increase in the magnitude of any significant environmental impacts previously identified in the FEIR. For these reasons, an addendum to the TESP FEIR was prepared for the proposed project. An addendum is not required to circulate for public review, but will be attached to the TESP FEIR, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c).

5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 1 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
ADDENDUM TO THE TASMAN EAST SPECIFIC PLAN
FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
5185 LAFAYETTE STREET (PARCEL 11) PROJECT
October 2023
1.1 PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) recognizes that between the date an environmental document is certified and the date the project is fully implemented, one or more of the following changes may occur: 1) the project may change; 2) the environmental setting in which the project is located may change; 3) laws, regulations, or policies may change in ways that impact the environment; and/or 4) previously unknown information can arise. Before proceeding with a project, CEQA requires the Lead Agency to evaluate these changes to determine whether or not they affect the conclusions in the environmental document.
On September 13, 2018, the City of Santa Clara certified the Tasman East Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (TESP FEIR) and approved the Tasman East Specific Plan (TESP) project. The TESP was envisioned by the City to create a Transit-Oriented Development Mixed-Use Neighborhood. The TESP supports existing and planned land uses in the project area. The FEIR analyzed the development of up to 4,500 dwelling units, approximately 106,000 square feet of retail space (including a 25,000 square foot grocery store) and a 600-student school in the City of Santa Clara.
The intent and purpose of the TESP FEIR was to provide program-level environmental review for the TESP. This addendum tiers from the TESP FEIR and provides site-specific analysis for the proposed project and assesses consistency of the project with the TESP.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states that when an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been certified or a Negative Declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the Lead Agency determined, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 2 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or Negative Declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that the Lead Agency (City of Santa Clara) or a Responsible Agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 (see above) calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
This addendum analyzes the 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project under Section 15162. The proposed project would redevelop approximately 0.90 acres located within the western portion of the TESP area which is currently developed with one light industrial building (approximately 13,720 square feet) and associated surface parking lot. The project would construct a 21-story, residential building with up to 198 residential units and approximately 3,008 square feet of retail.1
Based on the proposed project description and knowledge of the project site (based on the environmental review prepared for the TESP FEIR), the City has concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new impacts not previously disclosed in the TESP FEIR and would not result in a substantial increase in the magnitude of any significant environmental impacts previously identified in the FEIR. For these reasons, an addendum to the TESP FEIR has been prepared for the proposed project.
This addendum will not circulate for public review, but will be attached to the TESP FEIR, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c).
A copy of the TESP FEIR is available in the City of Santa Clara at 1500 Warburton Avenue, during normal business hours, or on the City’s website at www.santaclaraca.gov.
1 Retail is shown on the ground floor of the plan set. Per the project applicant, the space would be either retail or a private club for residents. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that retail is proposed. 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 3 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
SECTION 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The project would redevelop approximately 0.9 acres [Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 097-46- 011)] along the central western portion of the TESP area. The TESP area is approximately 46.0 acres of land within the City of Santa Clara that was originally comprised of approximately 708,000 square feet of light industrial/commercial/office space in an existing industrial area. The TESP area is bounded by the former Santa Clara Golf & Tennis Club to the north, the Guadalupe River to the east, Tasman Drive to the south, and Lafayette Street to the west. Please refer to Figure 2.1-1 for an aerial photograph of the project site and surrounding land uses.
2.2 PROPOSED PROJECT
2.2.1 Proposed Development
The project site is developed with an approximately 13,720-square foot light industrial building and associated surface parking lot on the western side of the TESP area. As proposed, the project would demolish the existing building and construct a 21-story, residential building as described below.
Please refer to Figures 2.2-1 to 2.2-3 for the site plan and elevations.
The proposed building would consist of 198 residential units with approximately 3,008 square feet of ground floor retail2 and would have a residential density of 220 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).3 The proposed building would be a maximum height of 219 feet to the roofline. Parking would be provided within two levels of below-grade parking and within the building on floors two to five. A small number of residential units would also be located on floors two to five. Floors six to 21 would consist of residential units ranging from nine units to 13 units.
The project would provide up to 8,264 square feet of usable open space. A gateway plaza and covered patio and dining area are proposed on the ground floor and an outdoor fitness area and yoga patio are proposed on the sixth floor. Amenities proposed on the 21st floor would include a pool and spa, cabanas, BBQ area, entertainment room, and dining terrace. In addition, each residential unit would include a balcony/patio.
Currently, the project site can be accessed via two driveways (one along Lafayette Street and one along Calle De Luna) which would be retained. A total of 310 vehicular parking spaces and 110 bicycle parking spaces are proposed.
2.2.2 Green Building Measures
The proposed project would be required to be built in accordance to the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), which includes design provisions intended to minimize wasteful energy consumption, and the City’s Reach Code. The project is required to achieve the minimum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification or equivalent, such as Build It Green.
2 Retail is shown on the ground floor of the plan set. Per the project applicant, the space would be either retail or a private club for residents. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that retail is proposed. 3 198 proposed residential units in total / 0.9-acres = 220 du/ac.

5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 8 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
As proposed, the project would include the following green building design features:
• Stormwater treatment on-site
• Provide 110 bicycle parking spaces on-site
• Provide unbundled parking and a rideshare area on-site • Utilize materials on the roof and all hardscape areas that would reduce the heat island effect • Provide thermal comfort controls for all residential units • Sixty-five percent construction and demolition waste management, consistent with the City of Santa Clara Construction & Demolition Debris Recycling Program • Energy Star appliances
2.2.3 Transportation Demand Management Plan
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs are intended to reduce vehicle trips and parking demand by promoting the use of multimodal transportation options. As discussed in the TESP FEIR, the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) requires that all residential development within the TESP develop and implement a plan for a minimum 20 percent reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) with a minimum of 10 percent being achieved through a TDM Plan. Consistent with this mandate, the project would include the following TDM Measures.
Table 2.2-1: Required/Proposed TDM Measures
Required TESP Measures
Limited parking supply; dedicated electric-vehicle (EV) parking Unbundled residential parking
Participation in the Tasman East Transportation Coordination Group (TETCG); includes transit passes, bikeshare programs, bicycle repair facilities, and commute information/marketing Transportation coordinator; trip monitoring and reporting Bicycle parking and amenities; electric scooter corrals Project-Specific Measures
On-site amenities
Secure bicycle parking

2.2.4 General Plan and Zoning Designations
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Transit Neighborhood (100-350 du/ac), which allows multi-family residential uses and supportive commercial and public/quasi-public uses.
This density range is intended to take advantage of proximity to transit, offering an urban feel, including a positive public realm within a right-of-way accommodating all modes of transportation.
Building forms are typically mid- to high-rise buildings featuring structured or below-grade parking, as well as shared outdoor space. Under the TESP, all sites of one acre or more in size are required to accommodate a minimum density of 100 du/ac. Each parcel of less than one acre in size is required to accommodate a minimum of 60 du/ac.
The site is zoned Transit Neighborhood (TN), which allows for development of a high-density residential neighborhood with a mix of uses at the ground floor. Consistent with the General Plan
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 9 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
designation described above, residential densities within the TN zoning district would range from a minimum of 60 du/ac on sites less than one acre in size to a minimum of 100 du/ac for sites of one acre or larger in size with no maximum density for individual parcels, all the while maintaining an overall unit cap of 4,500 units for the entire TESP area.
The proposed residential development would have a density of 220 du/ac, consistent with the Transit Neighborhood General Plan and zoning designations. The addition of 198 residential units would not exceed the TESP unit cap of 4,500 units.

SECTION 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED
PROJECT
The discussion below describes the environmental impacts of the proposed project compared to the impacts of the approved TESP FEIR. Also noted are any changes that have occurred in the environmental setting that would result in new impacts or impacts of greater severity than those identified in the previously certified FEIR. This Addendum only addresses those resource areas which could potentially have new impacts or impacts of greater severity (specific to the project site) than were addressed in the TESP FEIR. Based on the project’s consistency with the development assumptions and General Plan and zoning designations, the proposed project would have the same impacts with regard to the following environmental issues:
• Aesthetics • Mineral Resources
• Agricultural Resources • Population and Housing
• Cultural Resources/Tribal Cultural Resources • Public Services • Energy • Recreation
• Geology and Soils • Transportation/Traffic
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Utilities and Service Systems • Land Use and Planning
All relevant best management practices, conditions of approval, and mitigation measures identified in the TESP FEIR for these resource areas are incorporated by reference and would be required by the project.
The proposed project includes the construction of a 21-story, residential building with up to 198 residential units and approximately 3,008 square feet of ground floor retail. This Addendum analyzes the impacts of the proposed project and consistency with the TESP FEIR regarding the following environmental issues:
• Air Quality • Hydrology and Water Quality
• Biological Resources • Noise and Vibration
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 11 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
3.1 EXISTING SETTING
The project site and area consist of light industrial, commercial, and new residential buildings in the City of Santa Clara. The project site is bounded by Lafayette Street to the west, light industrial buildings to the north and east, and Calle De Luna and a site, located at 2300 Calle De Luna, that is currently under construction to the south. Since approval of the TESP project in 2018, there are currently three residential projects (e.g., 2343 Calle Del Mundo, 2300 Calle De Luna, and 5123 Calle Del Sol) within the TESP area that are currently under construction. In addition, the 2233 Calle Del Mundo Residential Project, File No. PLN2018-13446, is currently built and units are being leased.
3.2 AIR QUALITY
The following analysis addresses the potential air quality impacts that would result from construction and operation of the proposed project.
3.2.1 Findings of the Previously Certified FEIR
Construction Emissions
Construction activities from full build out of the TESP may generate dust and other particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) that could temporarily impact nearby land uses, particularly sensitive receptors. In addition, construction equipment and associated heavy-duty truck traffic would generate diesel exhaust, a known toxic air contaminant (TAC) which would pose a community risk to nearby sensitive receptors. The primary community risk impact issues associated with construction emissions are cancer risk and exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5).
Construction exhaust emissions include those from equipment (i.e., off-road) and traffic (on-road vehicles and trucks). Off-road construction equipment is often diesel-powered and can be a substantial source of nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions, in addition to PM10 and PM2.5 emissions.
Architectural coatings and application of asphalt pavement are dominant sources of reactive organic gas (ROG) emissions. The combination of temporary dust from activities and diesel exhaust from construction equipment and related traffic may exceed Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD’s) project-level thresholds on a project-by-project basis. Additionally, NOX emissions during grading and soil import/export may exceed the BAAQMD NOX emission thresholds. The TESP FEIR identified the following air quality impact.
Impact AQ-1: The project would result in significant construction air pollutant emissions due to dust generation and emissions of TACs and criteria pollutants during construction.
The following mitigation measures were included in the approved project to control dust and reduce construction TAC and criteria pollutant emissions during construction:
MM AQ-1.1: During any construction period ground disturbance, the applicant shall ensure that the project contractor implements the following BAAQMD BMPs:
3.2.1.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 12 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• All exposed unpaved surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
• All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered.
• All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day.
The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
• All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 miles per hour (mph).
• All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
• Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to five minutes (as required by the California Airborne Toxics Control Measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points. • All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation.
• Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the construction firm regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District’s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
• The contractor shall install temporary electrical service whenever possible to avoid the need for independently powered equipment (e.g. generators).
MM AQ-1.2: Construction criteria pollutant and TAC quantification will be required on a project-level basis for individual development projects once those details are available through modeling to identify impacts and, if necessary, include measures to reduce emissions. The analysis must be submitted for City review and approval, once complete. Health risks from construction TACs shall be reduced below 10 in one million excess cancer cases, a hazard index of 1.0, and PM2.5 emissions of 0.3 µg/m3. Criteria pollutant emissions shall not exceed BAAQMD construction criteria pollutant emissions thresholds.
Reduction in emissions can be accomplished through, though is not limited to, the following measures:
• Construction equipment selection for low emissions;
• Use of alternative fuels, engine retrofits, and added exhaust devices; • Low-volatile organic compound paints;
• Modify construction schedule; and
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 13 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• Implementation of BAAQMD Basic and/or Additional Construction mitigation measures for control of fugitive dust.
Implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1.1 and AQ-1.2 would ensure that construction emissions impacts from individual development projects under the TESP would be reduced to a less than significant level.
Operational Emissions
The TESP FEIR concluded that full build out of the TESP would result in long-term area and mobile source emissions from operation of subsequent development. Build out of the TESP would exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for ROGs and NOx. The TESP FEIR identified the following air quality impact.
Impact AQ-2: The operation of the project would result in significant operational ROG and NOx emissions thereby contributing to regional ozone impacts.
The following mitigation measures were included in the approved project to reduce operational ROG and NOx emissions impacts:
MM AQ-2.1: Proposed residential development within the TESP shall implement TDM programs to reduce residential vehicle miles traveled as required by the City’s Climate Action Plan. The TDM programs would be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of building permits. An annual TDM monitoring report shall be submitted to the Community Development Director to document each development is meeting the required TDM program reductions.
MM AQ-2.2: Proposed development within the TESP shall incorporate additional green building measures such as rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, rough-ins for electric vehicle charging, use of efficient lighting and irrigation, and recycled water, as feasible, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
MM AQ-2.3: Developed parcels shall require within their covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) and/or ground leases requirements for all future interior spaces to be repainted only with architectural coatings that meet the “Low- VOC” or “Super-Compliant” requirements. “Low-VOC” refers to paints that meet the more stringent regulatory limits in South Coast AQMD Rule 1113; however, many manufacturers have reformulated to levels well below these limits. These are referred to as “Super-Compliant” Architectural Coatings.
Even with implementation of the identified mitigation measures, operational ROG and NOx emissions from operation of the project would remain significant and unavoidable.

Toxic Air Contaminants
CEQA does not address the effects of existing environmental conditions on a project. Nevertheless, the City of Santa Clara addressed the effect of existing local emission sources on future residents in the TESP area as a planning consideration.
The TESP FEIR identified three sources of TACs and PM2.5 emissions. The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), Lafayette Street, and Tasman Drive would affect the western portion of the site, within 270 feet of the rail line, and the southern portion of the site, within 110 feet of the Tasman Drive edge of travel lane. Any development proposed within the identified affected areas would expose future sensitive receptors on-site to significant cancer risk and/or PM2.5 concentrations. Therefore, the following conditions of approval were included in the approved project.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• Design the site to limit exposure from sources of TACs and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. The final site layout shall locate operable windows and air intakes as far as possible from the Union Pacific Railroad line/Lafayette Street and Tasman Drive. • To the greatest degree possible, plant vegetation along the project site boundaries with Union Pacific Railroad line/Lafayette Street and Tasman Drive and around outdoor use areas. This barrier would include trees and shrubs that provide a dense vegetative barrier. • Install air filtration at units that have predicted PM2.5 concentrations above 0.3 μg/m3. Air filtration devices shall be rated MERV13 or higher. Alternately, at the approval of the City, equivalent control technology may be used if it is shown by a qualified air quality consultant or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer that it would reduce risk below significance thresholds.
• As part of implementing this measure, an ongoing maintenance plan for the building’s HVAC air filtration system shall be required.
• Ensure that any lease agreements and other property documents (1) require cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring of the affected units for air flow leaks; (2) include assurance that new owners and tenants are provided information on the ventilation system; and (3) include provisions that fees associated with owning or leasing a unit(s) in the building include funds for cleaning, maintenance, monitoring, and replacements of the filters, as needed.
• Require that, prior to building occupancy, an authorized air pollutant consultant or HVAC engineer verify the installation of all necessary measures to reduce cancer risk below 10 chances per million from any source and PM2.5 concentrations above 0.3 μg/m3 for any source and 0.8 μg/m3 for all sources.

3.2.2 Air Quality Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Project A Construction Air Quality Analysis and Health Risk Assessment was prepared by Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc. in August 2023. A copy of this report is provided in Appendix A of this document.
CEQA Thresholds of Significance
Impacts from the Project
As discussed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(b), the determination of whether a project may have a significant effect on the environment calls for careful judgment on the part of the Lead Agency and must be based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data. The City of Santa Clara has carefully considered the thresholds updated by BAAQMD in April 2023 and regards these thresholds to be based on the best information available for the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin and conservative in terms of the assessment of health effects associated with TACs and PM2.5. The City has also applied these thresholds consistently across its environmental documents. The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality thresholds for criteria air pollutants and fugitive dust used in this analysis are identified in Table 3.2-1. Table 3.2-2 below lists the BAAQMD health risk and hazards thresholds for single-source and cumulative-sources.

Construction Period Emissions – Criteria Pollutants
Construction period criteria pollutants were estimated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2022. The proposed land uses were input into CalEEMod, which included 198 dwelling units and 192,702 square feet4 entered as “Apartments High-Rise,” and 310 parking spaces entered as Enclosed Parking with Elevator.” In addition, it was assumed that construction of the project would begin in August 2024 for 34 months, or 741 construction workdays.
Table 3.2-4 below shows the average daily emissions from criteria pollutants during the construction period. The model, assumptions, and results are described further in Appendix A of this document.

Exceed Threshold? No No No No
As shown in the table above, construction period criteria pollutant emissions associated with the proposed project would not exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds. Therefore, the project would not result in a significant impact from construction emissions. All projects proposed under the TESP would be required to comply with mitigation measure AQ-1.1 which includes Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce fugitive dust from construction activities. In addition to those BMPs, the project would be required to comply with the following measures, which are consistent with the latest BAAQMD BMPs, as a conditions of project approval.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• All excavation, grading, and/or demolition activities shall be suspended when average wind speeds exceed 20 mph.
• All trucks and equipment, including their tires, shall be washed off prior to leaving the site. • Unpaved roads providing access to sites located 100 feet or further from a paved road shall be treated with a six- to 12-inch layer of compacted layer of wood chips, mulch, or gravel.
4 Retail is shown on the ground floor of the plan set. Per the project applicant, the space would be either retail or a private club for residents. Because the 3,008-square feet of retail or private club was accounted for in the total residential square footage, the construction emission estimates would not change regardless of the use.
3.2.2.2 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 17 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
With implementation of AQ-1.1 and the additional BMPs, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified construction criteria pollutant air quality impacts.
Construction – Community Risk Impacts
Construction equipment and associated heavy-duty truck traffic generates diesel exhaust, a known TAC. A community health risk assessment was prepared to evaluate the potential health effects of sensitive receptors at the nearby residences from diesel particulate matter (DPM) and PM2.5.
Construction emissions from the off-road construction equipment and exhaust emissions from on- road vehicles were modeled using CalEEMod. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) was used to predict DPM and PM2.5 concentrations at existing sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project site. The model, assumptions, and results are described further in Appendix A.
The maximum-exposed individual (MEI) would be located on the third floor of a multi-family development that is currently under construction at 2300 Calle Del Luna, circled in red as shown in Figure 3.2-1 below. Since the development is still under construction, it is estimated that the MEI would be exposed to maximum cancer risk in 2025.

Project Construction - Unmitigated 30.23 (infant) 0.13 0.02 BAAQMD Single-Source Threshold >10.0 >0.3 >1.0
Exceed Threshold? Unmitigated Yes No No
As shown above, the cancer risk would exceed BAAQMD’s significance threshold of 10 cases per million for cancer risk without mitigation. The PM2.5 concentration and hazard index (HI) would not exceed BAAQMD’s significance threshold. Per mitigation measure AQ-1.2 of the TESP FEIR, project-level construction TAC assessments are required for individual projects proposed under the TESP and, if necessary, measures to reduce emissions shall also be included to reduce emissions below BAAQMD thresholds.
In order to address the significant impact caused by the risk of excess cancer cases and to further reduce emissions using “construction equipment selection for low emissions,” the proposed project shall be subject to the following condition of project approval.
Conditions of Project Approval:
• Prior to the issuance of any demolition, grading, or building permits (whichever occurs earliest), the project applicant shall submit a construction operations plan to the Director of Community Development demonstrating that the off-road equipment used for construction of the project would achieve a fleet-wide average of at least 70 percent reduction in DPM exhaust emissions. To achieve this reduction the construction plan would include the following:
o All construction equipment larger than 25 horsepower, operating on-site for more than two days continuously or 20 hours total shall meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) particulate matter emissions standards for Tier 3 engines with the inclusion of particulate matter emissions control equivalent to California Air Resources Board (CARB)-certified Level 3 diesel emission control devices that achieve a 70 percent reduction in particulate matter exhaust in comparison to uncontrolled equipment or equivalent.
o Electrical power lines shall be installed during early construction phases to avoid use of diesel generators, or
o As an alternative to the measures above, the project applicant could request a plan from a qualified air quality specialist demonstrating that the construction equipment used on-site would achieve a reduction in construction diesel particulate matter emissions by 70 percent or greater. Such a plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Community Development prior to construction. Elements of the plan could include a combination of the following measures.
▪ Implementation of the first bullet (use of Tier 4 or alternatively fueled equipment),
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 19 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
▪ Implementation of the second bullet (installation of electrical power lines), ▪ Use of electrically-powered equipment,
▪ Forklifts and aerial lifts for exterior and interior building construction shall be electric or propane/natural gas powered,
▪ Change in construction build out plans to lengthen phases, and ▪ Implementation of different building techniques that result in less diesel equipment usage.
With implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1.1 and AQ-1.2 from the TESP FEIR and the conditions of project approval listed above, the cancer risk would be reduced to 5.05 cases per million for infant exposure, which is below the BAAQMD significance threshold of 10 cases per million. As a result, the proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified impact.
Operational Emissions – Criteria Pollutants
Based on the conclusions of the TESP FEIR, all residential development proposed would be required to implement a TDM program and incorporate green building measures into the project. Consistent with mitigation measure AQ-2.1 identified in the TESP FEIR, the proposed project includes project- specific TDM measures to reduce residential VMT as required by the City’s CAP. The CAP requires a minimum 20 percent reduction in VMT with a minimum 10 percent being achieved through a TDM plan. The TDM program shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of building permits.
The project applicant proposes the following TDM measures as shown in Table 3.2-5 below.
Table 3.2-5: Required/Proposed TDM Measures

Additionally, consistent with mitigation measures AQ-2.2 and AQ-2.3 of the TESP FEIR, the project would include the following green building measures.
• Stormwater treatment on-site
• Provide 110 bicycle parking spaces on-site
• Provide unbundled parking and a rideshare area on-site
3.2.2.4 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 20 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
• Utilize materials on the roof and all hardscape areas that would reduce the heat island effect • Provide thermal comfort controls for all residential units • Sixty-five percent construction and demolition waste management, consistent with the City of Santa Clara Construction & Demolition Debris Recycling Program • Energy Star appliances
With implementation of the TDM program and green building measures, the project would have a less than significant impact on operational ROG and NOx emissions. While full build out of the TESP would have a significant and unavoidable operational criteria pollutant emissions impact, the proposed project is consistent with the development projections in the TESP FEIR and would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified air quality impacts.
Operation – Community Risk Impacts
A 600-kilowatt (kW) emergency diesel generator powered by an 804-horsepower (HP) engine is proposed at the northeast corner on the ground floor and a 100-hp fire pump is proposed in the basement. The fire pump would be electrically powered and would not produce TAC emissions; therefore, the fire pump is not discussed further.
For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that the generator would be operated for testing and maintenance purposes only. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and BAAQMD requirements limit these engine operations to 50 hours each per year for testing and maintenance.
During testing periods, the engine would typically run for less than one hour. The emissions from operation of the generator were estimated using the CalEEMod model. The AERMOD dispersion model was used to estimate the potential increased cancer risk and PM2.5 impact from operation of the generator and the exposure duration was adjusted to account for the receptors being exposed to construction for the first three years of the 30-year period. Refer to Appendix A for the dispersion modeling adjustments and assumptions. Table 3.2-6 below provides a summary of the construction and operational risk impacts at the off-site MEI and Figure 3.2-1 above shows the location of the generator and off-site receptors.

one million. The annual PM2.5 and HI from construction and operation of the project would not exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds of 0.3 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) and 1.0, respectively. With implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1.1 and AQ-1.2 from the TESP FEIR and the conditions of project approval listed above, the total maximum cancer risk from construction and operation of the project would be reduced to 5.05 cases per one million. As a result, the proposed project would result in a less than significant operational TAC impact at the off-site MEI and would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified air quality impacts.
Combined Community Risk Impacts at Construction MEI
Community health risk assessments typically look at all sources of TACs (including highways, streets, and stationary sources identified by BAAQMD) within 1,000 feet of a project site. Tasman Drive and Lafayette Street are mobile sources of TACs. The UPRR, approximately 115 feet west of the project site, would generate TAC and PM2.5 emissions from diesel locomotives. Additionally, stationary sources identified in the TESP FEIR that could affect the plan area were also evaluated.
Stationary sources that were deemed to pose no risk or would no longer pose a risk due to removal were not evaluated in the cumulative community risk impact assessment.
Roadway and Rail Line
The cancer risk, PM2.5 concentration, and HI associated with traffic on Tasman Drive and Lafayette Street, as well as rail activity from the UPRR were estimated using BAAQMD raster files.5
Stationary Sources
Two stationary sources, a diesel generator and a metal finishing facility, were identified using BAAQMD’s Permitted Stationary Sources 2021 geographic information system map website.
TESP Cumulative Projects
At the time the Construction Air Quality and Health Risk Assessment was prepared, seven projects were approved and three projects were pending within the TESP area including:
Approved Projects
• 2343 Calle Del Mundo
• 5123 Calle Del Sol
• 2200 Calle De Luna
• 2225 Calle De Luna/2232 Calle Del Mundo
• 2300 Calle De Luna
• 2233 Calle Del Mundo6
• 2302/2310 Calle Del Mundo
5 The BAAQMD raster files provide screening-level cancer risk, PM2.5 concentrations, and HI for roadways and rail lines within the Bay Area.
6 Note that the approved project located at 2233 Calle Del Mundo is now fully constructed and operational. This would lessen the cumulative impact and would not change the conclusions of the analysis.
3.2.2.6 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 22 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
Pending Projects
• 2263 Calle Del Mundo
• 2101 Tasman Drive7
• 2354 Calle Del Mundo
While construction of these projects could be completed while project construction occurs, the cumulative impacts from these projects on the MEI were included to provide a conservative estimate of health risks (refer to Appendix A for more information). Figure 3.2-2 below shows the project site (outlined in blue), nearby sources of TACs, and the approved/pending TESP projects. Any project located outside the 1,000-foot influence area (outside the yellow circle) were not included in the cumulative analysis. Table 3.2-7 summarizes the TAC sources near the project site.

The proposed project would not result in any new impacts or substantially increase the severity of the previously identified air quality impacts.
Toxic Air Contaminants – Planning Considerations
Due to the location of the proposed project, future residences would be exposed to an elevated cancer risk and/or PM2.5 concentrations. Based on Figure 3.2-3 below or Figure 3.2-1 of the TESP FEIR8, MERV13 (or higher) filters would be required for all areas affected by air pollutant sources as a condition of project approval.

The TESP FEIR concluded that implementation of the condition of project approval would reduce the cancer risk and PM2.5 concentrations below BAAQMD’s significance thresholds for sensitive receptors.
3.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The following analysis addresses the potential biological resources impacts that would result from implementation of the proposed project. Specifically, the analysis addresses impacts to birds (bird strikes) and loss of trees.
The project site is classified as developed land with no sensitive habitats or special-status species present. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not contribute to any identified impacts to protected habitats and special-status species and no further analysis is required.

Construction impacts on nesting birds would be the same on all project sites within the TESP area.
The TESP FEIR identified mitigation measures required of all projects under the TESP to reduce impacts to nesting birds to less than significant levels. These mitigation measures are incorporated by reference and no further analysis is required.
3.3.1 Findings of the Previously Certified FEIR
Bird Strikes
Based on the approved project, numerous resident and migratory songbirds are known to occur at the Ulistac Natural Area, south of Tasman Drive, and a number of songbirds, waterbirds, and wetland- associated birds also occur along the Guadalupe River. Development proposed within the TESP area would be a maximum height of 220 feet. Some of the birds using habitats within the TESP, Guadalupe River, and Ulistac Natural Area are expected to strike the buildings, resulting in injury or death.
Impact BIO-3: The project proposes structures with lighting, glass windows, building facades, and vegetation which may result in impacts to migrant birds.
Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce impacts to the migratory birds to a less than significant level:
MM BIO-3.1: Due to the potential for buildings in the TESP area to result in high numbers of bird collisions, particularly if extensive glass facades are used, all new construction and building additions within the TESP area will implement the following bird-safe building design considerations:
• Reduce the extent of glass on the facades of new buildings and additions to the extent feasible.
• Prohibit visibility of interior landscaped areas behind glass. • No more than 10 percent of the surface area of a building’s total exterior façade shall have untreated glazing between the ground and 60 feet above ground, unless located within 300 feet of the top of bank of the Guadalupe River within such boundary this requirement would extend to the entirety of the structure. Bird-safe glazing treatments may include fritting, netting, permanent stencils, frosted glass, exterior screens, physical grids placed on the exterior of glazing or ultraviolet patterns visible to birds. Vertical elements of the window patterns should be at least 0.25 inches wide at a maximum spacing of four inches or have horizontal elements at least 0.125 inches wide at a maximum spacing of two inches. Any remaining untreated glazed areas will be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe glazing treatments.
• Avoid free-standing clear glass walls, skywalks, transparent building corners, glass enclosures (e.g., greenhouses) on rooftops, and balconies with unbroken glazed segments 24 square feet and larger where feasible.
3.3.1.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 26 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
If any such features are included in building designs, all glazing used in any such features will be 100 percent treated.
• Reduce glass at tops of buildings, especially when incorporating a green roof into the building design.
• If a green roof or green wall is incorporated into the building design, no more than 10 percent of the surface area of the building's combined facades within 12 vertical feet above and/or below the green roof or green wall shall have untreated glazing. Any remaining untreated glazed areas will be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe glazing treatments.
• Avoid the funneling of flight paths between buildings or trees towards a glazed building façade.
• Landscaping, including planted vegetation and water features, shall be designed to minimize the potential for collisions. For example, vegetation providing particularly valuable resources to birds (such as fruits) will be planted away from buildings with extensive glazing, and vegetation in general will be planted in such a way that it is not clearly reflected in windows. Water features would be located away from building exteriors to reduce the attraction of birds toward glazed facades. • Minimize exterior lighting to the extent feasible, except as needed for safety. All exterior lights shall be directed toward facilities in the Plan Area (e.g., rather than directed upward or outward) and shielded to ensure that light is not directed outward toward the Guadalupe River or Ulistac Natural Area.
• Occupancy sensors or other switch control devices shall be installed on interior lights, with the exception of emergency lights or lights needed for safety purposes. Exterior shades shall also be considered to reduce light pollution. On commercial buildings, these lights shall be programmed to shut off during non-work hours and between 10:00 p.m. and sunrise.
The City may waive or reduce any of the above-listed bird-safe design requirements based on analysis by a qualified biologist indicating that proposed construction will not pose a collision hazard to birds. Such a waiver will generally not be appropriate for façades adjacent to well-vegetated areas, but a waiver may be appropriate, for example, for façades that face developed areas lacking vegetation, water features, or other features that would be particularly attractive to birds.
Mitigation measure BIO-3.1 incorporates bird-safe design elements into future building designs and reduces impacts to birds to the extent feasible. The TESP FEIR determined that with implementation of the identified mitigation measure, future development under the TESP would continue to result in a significant unavoidable avian collision impact.
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 27 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
Increased Lighting
Build out of the TESP would increase lighting compared to existing conditions. Wildlife species using the Guadalupe River and/or Ulistac Natural Area would be subject to increased predation, decreased habitat availability, and alterations of physiological processes if development under the TESP were to produce greater illuminance than the existing conditions.
Impact BIO-4: Increased artificial lighting may adversely impact bird species by increasing predation, decreasing habitat availability, and altering physiological processes.
The following mitigation measure would minimize lighting impacts on birds to a less than significant level:
MM BIO-4.1: To the extent consistent with the normal and expected operations of commercial and/or residential uses under the TESP, take appropriate measures to avoid use of unnecessary lighting at night, especially during the bird migration season (February through May and August through November). Such measures may include the installation of motion-sensor lighting, automatic light shut-off mechanisms, downward-facing exterior light fixtures, and others. Exterior lighting within the Specific Plan area will be shielded as needed to block illumination from shining upward, or outward into the Guadalupe River to the east or Ulistac Natural Area to the south.
Lighting plans for each development site shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director prior to the issuance of building permits.
Based on the TESP FEIR, implementation of the identified mitigation measure would minimize lighting and reduce lighting impacts to a less than significant level.
Trees
Implementation of the TESP would result in the removal of numerous trees within the TESP area.
Existing trees throughout the TESP area include a mixture of non-native or not naturally-occurring, planted, ornamental species including eucalyptus, acacias, and London planes. The General Plan requires replacement of trees removed as part of a proposed development project.
The TESP FEIR concluded that removal of trees within the TESP area would not have a significant impact on wildlife because the trees are mostly landscape and non-native species that are not regionally limited. Given the substantial number of trees that would be removed by development proposed under the TESP, impacts to mature trees from future development under the TESP would result in a significant impact.
Impact BIO-10: Tree removal from redevelopment of individual parcels under the Specific Plan would result in a significant impact to mature trees.
The following mitigation measures were included in the approved project to reduce impacts from tree removal.
3.3.1.2 3.3.1.3
5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 28 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
MM BIO-10.1: Projects proposing or required to retain trees on-site shall implement precautionary measures during site construction to limit adverse environmental effects on ordinance-protected trees that are to be retained. A tree protection plan shall be prepared by a qualified arborist that, at a minimum, requires installation of an open material (e.g., chain link) fence six feet in height around the drip line and maintenance of the existing grade level around a tree and out to its drip line.
MM BIO-10.2: Project proponents under the TESP will comply with the City Code and submit permit applications for removal of all trees covered by the City’s tree ordinance. Any street trees or heritage trees to be removed would require replacement on-site or off-site at a minimum 2:1 ratio per General Plan Policy
5.3.1-P10. To the extent feasible, the replacement trees will be planted on- site, and the project proponent will comply with all other tree removal requirements imposed by the City.
Implementation of mitigation measures BIO-10.1 and BIO-10.2 would reduce impacts to trees to a less than significant level.
3.3.2 Biological Resources Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Project Bird Strikes
The TESP FEIR concluded that all new buildings, including the proposed project, would have the potential for bird strikes and are required to incorporate bird safe design features. In September 2023, H.T. Harvey & Associates prepared an Avian Collision Risk Assessment for the proposed project. A copy of this report is provided in Appendix B.
The following analysis outlines the project’s design elements and its compliance with mitigation measure BIO-3.1.
Reduce the extent of glass on the façades of new buildings to the extent feasible.
The project would include extensive glazing on the building façades above the fifth floor (on the northern, eastern, and western façades), floors one and two (of the eastern façade), and on all levels of the southern façade. Per mitigation measure BIO-3.1, all new construction and building additions within the TESP area shall reduce the extent of glass on the façades to the extent feasible. The TESP FEIR recognized that “[m]ost often, bird collisions have been related to the extent of reflective and/or untreated glass on the building which provides the strongest opportunity for a collision,” and to that end, the construction shall include treated glazing in areas of the building with high collision risk, as discussed further below. In addition, the building façades would be composed of opaque panels on the northern and eastern façades surrounding the parking garage on floors one to five.
Glazing on the eastern and western façades consist of smaller windows broken up by opaque panels which helps reduce the total amount of glazing on the building. As a result, the project design would comply with this requirement.
3.3.2.1 5185 Lafayette Street (Parcel 11) Project 29 Addendum to Tasman East FEIR City of Santa Clara October 2023
Prohibit the visibility of interior landscaped areas behind glass
No interior landscaped areas are proposed behind glass and, as a result, the project design would comply with this requirement.
No more than 10 percent of the surface area of a building’s total exterior façade shall have untreated glazing between the ground and 60 feet above ground. Bird-safe glazing treatments may include fritting, netting, permanent stencils, frosted glass, exterior screens, physical grids placed on the exterior of glazing or ultraviolet patterns visible to birds. Vertical elements of the window patterns should be at least 0.25 inches wide at a maximum spacing of four inches or have horizontal elements at least 0.125 inches wide at a maximum spacing of two inches. Any remaining untreated glazed areas will be broken up into sections no greater than 24 square feet in size by mullions or bird-safe glazing treatments.
As originally proposed, no bird-safe glazing was proposed as part of the building design. Based on the Avian Collision Risk Assessment prepared for the project, the frequency of avian collisions to the proposed building on-site would be lower compared to other sites within the TESP area due to its distance to the Ulistac Natural Area (approximately 1,580 feet southeast) and to the Guadalupe River (approximately 1,790 feet east). The project proposes vegetation and trees in the exterior amenity spaces. Based on the extent and character of the vegetation planned for the site, the limited extent of the proposed open space areas, and the development that would be surrounding the site, any new landscape vegetation on-site would provide relatively limited resources for native birds regardless of the tree and plant species used. As stated in mitigation measure BIO-3.1, the City may waive or reduce any of the bird-safe design requirements based on analysis by a qualified biologist indicating that proposed buildings will not pose a collision hazard to birds. The assessment concluded that substantial impacts on birds colliding with the majority of the building façades would not occur because bird abundance in the vicinity would be relatively low, and therefore some of the bird-safe design requirements of mitigation measure BIO-3.1 are waivable.
