1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project provides an opportunity,
consistent with the Freedom Circle Focus
Area Plan, to redevelop the existing Office
complex and create a high-density apartment
community, creating a sense of place through
connecting housing opportunities to project-
based amenities, on-site recreation, and public
and private park spaces in a multi-modal
environment. The project consists of 1,792
(inclusive of 298 Density Bonus Units) apartment
units with approximately 1,766,170 gross square
feet (GSF) of residential buildings and 1,017,750
GSF of garage square feet. The overall site density
is 69.7 dwelling units per acre. Of the 1,792 units
proposed, 1,239 of these units will average 667
SF per unit. These units make up 70% of the total
units in the project. The remaining 553 units will
average 839 SF per unit. All product types will
contain a range of studios, studios plus dens,
one and two bedrooms, and have been designed
with the surrounding workforce in mind. The
project will feature 15% affordable units with 5%
very low AMI and 10% moderate at 100% AMI.

The proposed project includes approximately
3,500 GSF of resident and public-serving retail
space and 13,100 GSF of amenity space.

Additional retail uses serving this site are located
nearby at Santa Clara Square, accessed through
the walkable San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail,
and other nearby retail properties in the Patrick
Henry and Mission College area. These facilities
are within a 2-mile radius of this site. This project
implements the vision of the Freedom Circle
Focus Area and will be approved through a
Planned Development Rezoning specifically for
this property.

The proposal will develop new residential
neighborhoods in conjunction with appropriate
affordable housing, amenities, parks, and open
space in a transit supportive region. Other
infrastructure improvements (i.e., sewer, water,
and storm drainage) would also be constructed
or expanded to serve the proposed project.

2.1 Community Context
The subject site is a 25.74-acre parcel of land
currently developed for Office and R&D uses
within the central portion of the Freedom Circle
Focus Area in the City of Santa Clara. The
Focus Area Plan designated the site to allow
high-density residential development. The site
is located directly south of Mission College
Boulevard and encircled by Freedom Circle
Drive on the property’s west, east, and south
boundaries. Primary access to the site would be
from Great America Parkway to Mission College
Boulevard, conveniently located off the Bowers/
Great America exit via the 101 freeway.

Irvine Company is proposing to redevelop the
site and provide an apartment community
in compliance with the recently approved
residential plan for the future of this portion of
the Freedom Circle Focus Area. The proposed
project includes street improvements and
upgrades for pedestrians and bicycles that
will improve connectivity and intersection
operations. The apartment community is also
within walking distance of the San Tomas Aquino
Creek Trail, which provides a direct pedestrian
link to Santa Clara Square, Levi Stadium, the
Santa Clara Convention Center, Light Rail, and
the extensive Bay Trail network. The project will
also include both public and private open space
and recreation and will include project-serving
retail for residents and the general public utilizing
the project’s park.

In addition, the Santa Clara Park Apartment
Community is within a short walk, bike ride, or
drive to Irvine Company’s Master planned Santa
Clara Square. This nearby community provides

1.7 million square feet of high-tech employment
space, a 125,000-square-foot neighborhood
retail center anchored by Whole Foods Grocery,
Fleming’s Steakhouse, Il Fornaio, Eureka, and
Puesto, and another 40,000 square feet of
ground floor retail along an activated mixed-use
frontage to a similar sized residential community.

This community is built within the backdrop of
11 acres of public parks and private recreation
areas.

The Freedom Circle Focus Area covers
approximately 108 acres and currently contains
predominantly commercial uses such as biotech
and electronics, business offices, a hotel
(Marriott), and various support services (such
as car rental, UPS store, medical/dental, and
restaurants). Great America Parkway generally
bounds the Plan Area to the west, California’s
Great America amusement park to the north,
San Tomas Aquino Creek to the east, and U.S. 101
to the south. The Plan Area is relatively flat and
developed, with buildings ranging in height from
two and three stories to up to 13 stories (Marriott
Hotel) in the west; buildings in the rest of the Plan
Area range from one to three stories. Directly to
the east of the proposed Irvine Company project
is the entitled Greystar project, proposed to be
a 1,075-unit multi-family residential project (with
some project-serving retail and a two-acre public
park) proposed for two currently vacant parcels
formerly owned by Intel Corporation in the
southeastern portion of the Future Focus Plan
Area. The Plan Area is generally underutilized,
and some buildings are vacant. (Plan area-wide
description, excerpt from Freedom Circle Focus
Area DEIR section 2.1.1)
Currently, no residential land uses, public parks,
or historic structures exist in the Plan Area. The
proposal will facilitate changing the current
underutilized office use, consistent with the
Focus Area Plan, into a walkable, connected
urban high-density community with various
amenities for its residents and the general public
visiting the project’s parks and using pedestrian
and bicycle features.

Consistent with the Freedom Circle Focus plan,
a comprehensive rezoning plan will be filed with
this project. The City certified a Programmatic
EIR for the Freedom Circle Future Focus Area,
such that subsequent implementing projects,
including but not limited to a General Plan
Amendment, PD Rezone, Architectural Review,
on- and off-site utilities, and/or all project
amenities and features necessary to implement
the plan may tier off of the certified document
by utilizing a CEQA Checklist or an Addendum
(perhaps with focused project-specific studies).

2.3 Existing Land Use
The Santa Clara Park (SCP) project existing land
use is office/R&D consisting of 427,379 SF and
will be redeveloped to a residential community.

The SCP site is located within the approximately
108-acre Freedom Circle Future Focus Area
Plan Area, as designated by the General Plan, in
the northwestern part of the city and generally
bounded by Great America Parkway to the west,
California’s Great America amusement park to
the north, San Tomas Aquino Creek to the east,
and U.S. 101 to the south. Except for the currently
vacant Greystar project site located in the
southeast portion of the Future Focus Area Plan
Area, the Plan Area is essentially built out and is
in an area of the city primarily designated in the
General Plan as High Intensity Office/R&D with
some Regional Commercial, with uses such as
biotech and electronics, business offices, hotels,
and various support services (such as car rental,
UPS store, medical/dental, and restaurants).

According to the General Plan Land Use
Diagram, the site is designated as Very High
Density Residential (51-100 dwelling units per
acre). The Freedom Circle Future Focus Area
was added as a Phase III Future Focus Area
to the General Plan in 2022. Per the General
Plan and Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan, any
change in land use designation or rezoning of
land within the Freedom Circle area is subject to
the requirements of the Future Focus Area Goals
and Policies of the General Plan. The SCP project
will accomplish this via its proposed General
Plan Amendment and rezoning.

Buildings cover about 23 percent of the Future
Focus Area Plan Area. The Plan Area has a
“superblock street layout” with ample surface
parking that supports dependence on cars. The
buildings are spaced relatively far apart, with
surface parking lots in between. Pedestrian
linkages are limited.

2.6 Transportation Demand Mangement
TDM Program
This chapter provides details on the TDM
measures offered to onsite residents, employees
(leasing office and maintenance), and visitors.

The measures are designed to allow visitors and
residents to reduce single occupancy vehicle
trips to and from the development. To gauge the
effectiveness of the TDM program monitoring
and evaluation of the program will occur as
described in the Monitoring and Reporting
section. The goal of the TDM program is to
reduce vehicle miles travelled (VMT) by 20%,
with 10% from project design features, and 10%
from active TDM measures per the city’s Climate
Action Plan (2022).

TDM Strategies
The TDM strategies offered to Santa Clara
Park residents, employees, and visitors include
measures to encourage transit use, ridesharing,
walking, biking, and car sharing for commute
trips as well as trips off-site during the day. There
is a strong emphasis on providing tools and
information to residents to help them plan their
commute by bike, transit, or ride-sharing as well
as encouraging them to use these modes both to
and from the site as well as internally within the
site. Visitors are also provided with information
about alternative modes to the site. (Figure 2.6)
illustrates the strategies that are provided to
Santa Clara Park in terms of physical design
features and TDM programs and services.

Housing Density and Destination Accessibility
As mentioned in the project description, the
Santa Clara Park Redevelopment Project would
construct 1,792 residential dwelling units (15%
affordable units) of the 2,500 dwelling units
remaining in the Focus Area Plan, or 70% of
the remaining residential units allowed under
the Focus Area Plan. The 25.7-acre site with
427,380 square feet of existing office space will
be replaced by 1,792 residential units with over
nine acres of public and private recreation and
open space. Santa Clara Park is near major
destinations, including Levi’s Stadium, Great
America Theme Park, Santa Clara Convention
Center, employment clusters in Santa Clara and
North San Jose, and Mission College west of
the Project site on Mission College Boulevard.

Destination accessibility is measured in terms of
the number of jobs or other attractions reachable
within a given travel time, which tends to be
the highest at central locations and lowest at
peripheral ones. Proximity to major destinations
reduces vehicle trip lengths, thereby reducing
VMT. It also increases the potential for people to
walk and bike to these destinations and therefore
reduces Project-generated VMT.

2.7 Affordable Housing
The proposed project will comply with the City’s
affordable housing ordinance for residential
rental projects. Irvine Company will memorialize
the details in an Affordable Housing Rental
Agreement, representing an equal value
satisfying the City’s 15% requirement while
maintaining a 100% AMI across the affordable
units. The proposal is 5% of non-density bonus
units at Very Low and 10% of non-density bonus
at Moderate, averaging 100% AMI. The affortable
units will be spread out evenly between all five
buildings and will have the same proportion of
studios, one bedroom, and two bedroom units
as the market rate units. As 5% of the affordable
units will be Very Low, one concession plus any
necessary waivers or reductions of development
standards under the State Density Bonus Law
are authorized.

2.8 Public Concept Inspiration
There is a robust park & open space program
for Santa Clara Park and it has been designed
around native redwoods found on-site.

The life cycle of a redwood is inspiration for the
public park system at Santa Clara Park.
“It first starts out as a seed from a cone which
sprouts, or ‘germinates. ’ The seed grows into a
seedling, then after many, many years, into a
mature tree. at which point it spreads new seeds
through “outplanting” and dropping of cones
which grow into new saplings. Often, after the
sequoia dies, life continues to develop as other
plants in the redwood forest start to grow on the
dead tree. The process creates a circular loop of
growth, maturity, death, and new life. ”
The stages of a Redwood Tree Growth:
• Seedling
• Sprout
• Young Tree / Sapling
• Outplanting
• Fully Grown / Mature Tree
• Fallen / Ancient Tree

2.9 Publicly Dedicated Parkland
The proposed Santa Clara Park development
emphasizes the design and implementation
of public open space. These public areas help
shape and define the neighborhood character
by creating a sense of community, focusing
on intentional placemaking. Santa Clara Park
Apartment Community creates a walkable,
active, diverse experience while promoting social
interaction, sustainability, and accessibility.

Integral to the site design is a park program
composed of two distinct elements:

Public Neighborhood Park:

The buildings at Santa Clara Park will be nestled
into a Public Park and open space system
that will span throughout the entire site and
feature a variety of passive and active amenities
throughout. Included within this public park
network will be a large open space at the
southern end of the site, which will feature a
flexible lawn for active recreation, picnic areas,
sports courts, kids’ playground (with separate
areas serving ages 2-5 and 6-12), and a dog park.

In addition, an interconnected set of mini-parks
throughout the perimeter and interior portion of
the site will provide a ¾ mile loop trail, passive
and active recreation opportunities, and will
serve as an important public linkage from the
neighboring Freedom Circle District to the
trailhead at the local San Tomas Aquino Creek.

Private/Community-Serving Park Areas:

Additionally, 4.222 acres of private park space will
provide residents with recreation opportunities,
including two large pool areas, outdoor dining,
picnic areas, game/lounge areas, and passive
garden spaces spread throughout the entire
community. These spaces will allow residents
to engage in passive and active recreation near
their homes. The project will also feature 0.085
acres of private building amenity spaces.

The plan respects the Freedom Circle Future
Focus Area’s desire to integrate publicly available
open spaces within the proposed project. To
that end, the project has been designed with
a north-south linear park starting at Mission
College Boulevard, opening up to a public park
fronting Freedom Circle Drive. An east-west
“Main Street” bisects the project and provides
access through the site, connecting both sides
of the Freedom Circle Drive loop, thereby
providing multi-modal connectivity. The two
adjacent projects offer parks and open space
to the public by complementing each other in
design and allowing for contiguous use of the
park amenities. Park amenities and open spaces
have been added and designed to serve all ages
in the community through active and passive
recreational opportunities.

The framework for this new community
includes a multi-layered landscape focus. The
development is committed to preserving many
mature specimen trees on site and integrating
them seamlessly into the new site plan. This effort
safeguards the heritage trees in their existing
locations and strategically relocates trees
deemed suitable for transplanting. The result
will be a harmonious coexistence of the new
buildings and park within the context of these
established trees, creating a mature verdant
landscape setting within the City. The landscape
plan envisions preserving approximately 130
existing trees, including Redwoods and other
species (pending review of City Arborist and
Landscape Contractor), which will either be
protected in place or transplanted to different
locations throughout the site. For those redwood
trees that are unsuitable for preservation, an
effort will be made (where feasible) to re-purpose
the salvaged wood into furniture or other site
elements. Existing trees requiring removal will
be replaced at a 2:1 ratio at a size of 24” Box or
larger per the City of Santa Clara guidelines. The
new trees will be carefully selected for shade,
utility screening, or other visual interest to
complement the overall landscape composition.

Overall, the Santa Clara Park Apartment
Community will feature over 4.225 acres of
continuous public park space and over 4.222
acres of private park and amenity spaces, all
nestled under the grandeur of the existing
redwood trees.

TOTAL PARKS AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE

2.10 Private Open Space
The Santa Clara Park Community is envisioned
as a dynamic neighborhood that embodies the
objectives of the Focus Area Plan. At the southern
end of the site is the community-scaled public
park, which connects to the City-spanning San
Tomas Aquino Creek Trail via a neighboring park.

The project consists of five residential “wrap”
buildings with an array of residential amenities.

Santa Clara Park features two distinctive
apartment communities to serve a broader base
of customers better while providing product
segmentation. These distinct communities are
separated by a new pedestrian-friendly internal
private street that will act as the residential
neighborhood’s focal point and social hub.

The community’s strong pedestrian character
is established by a series of defined open
spaces marked by architectural forms and
mature redwood trees. A tree-lined central
promenade from Mission College Blvd to
Freedom Circle is the primary pedestrian link
to the public park, passing through the heart of
the community and bisecting the new private
street. An interconnected network through
various courtyards provides outdoor recreation,
including pools, outdoor dining, seating, shade
structures, and play areas. The plan allows for
direct pedestrian and bicycle access to adjacent
neighborhoods.

2.11 Sustainability
The project would support sustainability through
incorporation of the following City Climate Action
Plan measures:
• Solar photovoltaic panels on the roofs of all
project buildings
• EV charging stations
• All-electric building construction (with
exceptions for gas hot water and pool
heaters, and BBQs/fire pits)
• Electric appliances and electric mechanical
systems and equipment
• Secure bike parking, including outlets for
charging electric bikes.

Additional sustainability design elements would
include reuse of salvageable building materials
and use of carbon-smart building materials;
integration of natural stormwater systems at
the site to reduce runoff and filter potential
stormwater pollutants; use of recycled water for
irrigation purposes; use of landscaping, green
infrastructure, and natural stormwater systems
to lower surface temperatures and reduce heat
gain; compliance with CalGreen Tier 1 energy
efficiency requirements; consistency with City
all-electric Reach codes, including the use of solar
photovoltaic panels on garage and residential
rooftops, electric vehicle charging stations (50
percent electric vehicle stall capacity), and all-
electric building construction (excepting hot
water systems and BBQ/fire pits); achievement
of LEED Gold equivalent sustainable design;
development of a TDM Program that reduces
VMT by 20 percent, including 10 percent from
TDM measures and 10 percent from physical
design features compliance with State solid
waste laws that reduce organic waste by 75
percent; and planting new trees possibly
exceeding city requirements.

Environmental
Features
Project sustainability features
include the following:
⤑ Photovoltaic (PV) Systems on roofs and garages
⤑ On-site tree relocation and preservation
⤑ LEED Gold Equivalent
⤑ High Efﬁciency Windows / HVAC Systems
⤑ All Electric / Energy Star Efﬁcient Appliances

3.1 Design Principles
Access to the project site is from Freedom Circle,
via Mission College Boulevard. Driveway access
to the project buildings would be provided as
follows:
• Building 1 – one driveway, via Freedom Circle
• Building 2 – one driveway via the new private
street (which connects to Freedom Circle)
• Building 3 – two driveways, both via the new
private street (which connects to Freedom
Circle)
• Building 4 – one driveway, via Freedom
Circle
• Building 5 – one driveway via the new private
street (which connects to Freedom Circle).

Additional circulation would be provided as
follows:
• A new 28-foot-wide two-way private street,
including Class ll bike lanes, roughly dividing
the project site into a northern half (Buildings
1, 2, and 3) and a southern half (Buildings
4 and 5); 6-foot pedestrian sidewalks are
located adjacent to both sides of the street,
with a landscape parkway in-between the
street and sidewalk. (Refer to Figure 3.1-1)
• A public pedestrian path between Buildings
1/2 and Building 3 from Mission College
Boulevard to the private street; between
Building 4 and Building 5 from the private
street to the park in the southeastern part of
the project site; and generally from west to
east and adjacent to Building 4 and Building
5 along the northern boundary of the park.
• A Class IV bike lane around the project site
perimeter (“Freedom Circle Bike Lane”).
(Refer to Figure 3.1-2, 3.1-3 and 3.1-4)
• A Class IV bike lane proposed for Mission
College Boulevard.

Loading zones would be provided for each
building. An on-site parking lot consisting of
15 stalls for the Neighborhood Park would be
provided in the park parcel. Final parking layout
for the proposed park is subject to Parks and
Traffic division review. The project proposes
three new crosswalks, two of which were already
proposed in the Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan.

4.1 Massing and Architecture
Santa Clara Park Apartment Community is
envisioned as a dynamic neighborhood that
embodies the objectives of the Focus Area
Plan. At the southern end of the site is the
community-scaled public park, which connects
to the City-spanning San Tomas Aquino Creek
Trail via a neighboring park. The project consists
of five residential “wrap” buildings of Type III
construction featuring 1,792 apartment homes
with an array of residential amenities. Santa
Clara Park features two distinctive apartment
communities to serve a broader base of
customers better while providing product
segmentation. These distinct communities are
separated by a new pedestrian-friendly internal
private street that will act as the residential
neighborhood’s focal point and social hub.

Each building is classically composed and
proportioned in Mediterranean architectural
styles. Large storefront details and modulated
eave lines highlight entry points. Colors and
materials highlight variations and textures. Open
landscaped courtyards and setbacks articulate
the buildings. Large redwoods along perimeter
building edges screen views, lessening the
perception of building scale. All five buildings are
configured to completely conceal the vertically
structured parking.

On the north side of the private street, “Building 1”
consists of 362 units in Type III construction and
500 parking spaces. “Building 2” has 341 units
in Type III construction and 474 parking spaces.
“Building 3” consists of 536 units in Type III
construction and 728 parking spaces. Buildings
1, 2, and 3 provide smaller, more affordable unit
sizes than Buildings 4 and 5.

On the south side of the private street, “Building
4” consists of 292 units in Type III construction
with 398 parking spaces, and “Building 5”
provides 261 units in Type III construction with
359 parking spaces.

Each building has a Type IIA construction
garage surrounded by a Type III construction
residential building. The proposed project has
approximately 2,459 parking spaces within
five Type IIA construction garages, totaling
approximately 1,017,750 GSF.

The following exhibits are conceptual and will be
finalized through the city’s Architectural Review
Process.

5.1 Infrastructure & Utilities
A review of the Freedom Circle Focus Area Plan
(FCFAP) and discussions with City/Agency staff
indicate that there will be connection points to
existing utility mains in the city right-of-way, as
described below.

Sanitary Sewer: City block maps indicate
that two separate 12” mains run the length of
Freedom Circle (E & W), both connecting to
the 12” main running westwards on Mission
College Boulevard, per the FCFAP EIR and the
future project-specific Development Impact
Analysis (DIA). It is our understanding that there
will be no upsizing of the 12” VCP main running
between Freedom Circle (W) and Great America,
and no upsizing required along the immediate
project frontage, which is not anticipated in the
full build-out condition in the Freedom Circle
Focus Area EIR.

Storm Drain: City block maps indicate there is
a 24” main that begins south of the Hichborn/
Freedom Circle (W) intersection. This 24” main
runs south, then east, and loops back north
along Freedom Circle (E) and increases to 54” .

It turns east into the Freedom Circle Storm
Drain Pump Station at the southeast corner of
the Freedom Circle (E)/Agnew/Mission College
intersection, just north of the Greystar project
site. There is a 15” main located in Mission
College that begins just west of Agnew and
travels west towards Great America. A 12” main
existing in the Hitchborn/Freedom Circle (W)
intersection heads north and increases to an 18”
main before connecting to the existing main in
Mission College.

The existing site consists mainly of impervious
surfaces, such as parking lots, on-site sidewalks,
and buildings. The proposed project will increase
the pervious area on-site and provide LID
stormwater treatment areas and source control
measures, decreasing the stormwater runoff
from the project site into the city mains.

Water: Per City block maps, there is a 12” main
(installed in 1975) that runs through the northern
side of Mission College. In addition, there is a 12”
main (installed in 1977) that loops Freedom Circle
(E & W) and connects to the Mission College
main at both intersections. An abandoned 12”
main (installed in 1970) exists within the project
boundary, running east-west approximately in
line with Hichborn Drive, which will either be
removed or remain in place if it doesn’t impact
the proposed project improvements. The project
will replace the existing water main with a
proposed ductile iron pipe main from Freedom
Circle (W) & Mission College to the new ductile
iron pipe main in Freedom Circle (E) constructed
as a part of the Greystar Development.

Should the Greystar Development water main
improvements not occur, the project will extend
this water main replacement back to Mission
College & Freedom Circle (E).

The FCFAP EIR included a Water Supply
Assessment (WSA) for the full build-out of the
FCFAP. Per the approved EIR and WSA, and as
city code requires, the project intends to utilize
recycled water as an alternative to potable water
for irrigation and dual plumbing (where feasible)
to alleviate the overall project demand for potable
water. As listed in the conclusion of the WSA
of the FCFAP EIR, the proposed development
anticipates the possibility of fair-share water
supply or capacity fees, additional water
efficiency standards, and the establishment of
annual project water budgets.

Recycled Water: Per City block maps, a 12”
main (installed in 1998) runs along the southern
side of Mission College. No recycled water main
facilities are currently available in Freedom
Circle. Where new recycled water laterals are
required, the project will construct and extend a
new 8” recycled water main from the connection
point to Mission College.

Electric: The project is bound by existing
Silicon Valley Power (SVP) facilities within
Freedom Circle (E & W) on the east, south, and
west within Mission College Blvd on the North.

SVP is anticipating tying the project services
into existing facilities located west, north, and
south of the project boundary. Relocation of
existing electric infrastructure along the project
frontage may be required. Some SVP equipment
(conduits, manholes, vaults, etc.) may remain to
serve properties on the opposite side of Freedom
Circle & Mission College. Approximate unit
counts have been provided to SVP for reference.

SVP system impact study was completed and it
is expected that the project will make a fair share
contribution to the Agnew substation expansion.

Gas: The current parcel is served by PG&E
low-pressure service lines connected to a high-
pressure distribution main on the opposite side
of Freedom Circle and Mission College Blvd.

Approximately ten (10) gas meter services will
be removed and capped at the high-pressure
distribution main within Freedom Circle (E &
W) and Mission College. The high-pressure
distribution lines can serve as future gas tie-in
locations. Although individual gas metering of
residential units is not allowed in the city code,
there are provisions for new gas services for
various types of housing facilities.

51 SANTA CLARA PARK | Irvine Company Apartment Development | City of Santa Clara PD Rezoning Application 6 | Public Services

6.1 Public Services
Fire Protection and Emergency Medical
Service:

The Santa Clara Fire Department (SCFD) has ten
fire stations (one of which temporarily closed in
March 2020 and is scheduled for replacement
and relocation), with eight fire engines, two
ladder trucks, one rescue unit, two ambulances,
one hazardous materials unit, and one command
vehicle. The Plan Area would be served by
Station 8, which is located at 2400 Agnew Road.

Secondary responding stations to the area would
be Station 6, located at 888 Agnew Road; Station
9, located at 3011 Corvin Drive; and Station 5,
located at 1912 Bowers Avenue. The Freedom
Circle Focus Area Plan does not propose new or
expanded fire protection/EMS facilities.

The Santa Clara Park (SCP) project site is located
in the southern portion of the Plan Area and also
would be served by Station 8, which is about 285
feet northeast of the project site, across Mission
College Boulevard on Agnew Road. Station 6
is less than one mile from the project site, and
Station 9 is slightly more than one mile from the
project site, depending on the route taken.

Police Protection:

The Santa Clara Police Department (SCPD) is
located at 601 El Camino Real. The Northside
Substation, at 3992 Rivermark Parkway, is
a satellite facility with limited hours. SCPD
operations are broken into six beats; Beats 1
through 5 are south of U.S. 101, and Beat 6 covers
the entire city area north of U.S. 101 plus the area
between the Central Expressway and U.S. 101.

The Plan Area is in Beat 6, and the project site
is also in Beat 6. The Focus Area Plan does not
propose new or expanded police facilities.

Public Schools:

The Plan Area, including the proposed SCP
project, is in the Santa Clara Unified School
District (SCUSD). The SCUSD is comprised of
27 schools, seven of which are located north of
U.S. 101, including five elementary schools, two
middle schools, and one high school. The Focus
Area Plan does not propose new or expanded
school facilities.

Parks:

City park and recreational facilities are comprised
of approximately 268 improved acres and 85
unimproved acres. There are no public parks
or recreational facilities currently in the Future
Focus Area Plan Area, including the project site
which contains 12 existing on-site buildings but
no parks or recreational facilities. The Focus
Area Plan calls for providing public parkland and
privately-owned public open space, consistent
with the general plan requirements and other
city regulations, and provision of open space or
payment of in‐lieu fees for parks and open space
for residential development, consistent with the
City’s Parkland Dedication Ordinance.

Other Public Facilities:

The City has three libraries: (1) Central Park
Library; (2) the Northside Branch Library; and
(3) the Mission Branch Library. The City also
operates four community centers. The Focus
Area Plan does not propose new or expanded
public facilities.

6.2 Impact to Public Services
Impact to Fire Protection and Emergency
Medical Service:

The SCP project would result in the construction
of 1,792 dwelling units. This total is less than the
2,500 remaining units evaluated in the 2022 EIR
and would require fewer additional fire service/
EMS staff than projected in the 2022 EIR. As
discussed above, the 2022 EIR concluded that
no significant impact was identified related to
fire protection/EMS, no new or expanded fire
protection/EMS facilities were needed, and no
mitigation would be required. Because the total
number of units proposed for the SCP project
is less than the number of units evaluated for
the Focus Area Plan, the environmental effects
related to fire protection/EMS resulting from the
SCP project would be reduced in scale. The
SCP project’s impact related to fire protection/
EMS would remain less than significant as
identified in the 2022 EIR.

Impact to Police Protection:

Because the total number of units proposed for
the SCP project is less than the number of units
evaluated for the Focus Area Plan, environmental
effects related to police services resulting from
the SCP project would be reduced in scale. The
SCP project’s impact related to police services
would remain less than significant as identified
in the 2022 EIR.

Impact to Parks:

The project would result in the construction of
1,792 dwelling units. This total is less than the
2,500 remaining units evaluated in the 2022 EIR
and would result in fewer new residents using
city parks than projected in the 2022 EIR. As
discussed above, the 2022 EIR concluded that
no significant impact was identified related
to parks, new parkland and/or payment of in-
lieu park dedication fees would be required of
all new development in the Future Focus Area
Plan Area, and the City’s park improvements
ordinance would provide adequate mitigation.

Because the total number of units proposed for
the SCP project is less than the number of units
evaluated for the Focus Area Plan, environmental
effects related to parks resulting from the SCP
project would be reduced in scale. The SCP
project proposes approximately 6.336 acres of
public park and open space, including a 3.165-
acre neighborhood park (to be dedicated to the
city), plus an additional 2.111 acres of credit for
private open space and building amenities space.

The project would pay additional in-lieu park
improvement fees as determined in consultation
with the City’s Parks and Recreation Department
(The Parkland Dedication Requirement) to help
mitigate future parks impacts. The SCP project’s
impact related to parks would remain less than
significant as identified in the 2022 EIR.

Impact to 0ther Public Facilities:

The project would result in the construction of
1,792 dwelling units. This total is less than the
2,500 remaining units evaluated in the 2022 EIR
and would generate fewer new residents than
projected in the 2022 EIR. As discussed above,
the 2022 EIR concluded that no significant impact
was identified related to other public facilities,
and no new or expanded public facilities were
being proposed by the City. Because the total
number of units proposed for the SCP project
is less than the number of units evaluated for
the Focus Area Plan, the environmental effects
related to other public facilities resulting from the
SCP project would be reduced in scale. The SCP
project’s impact related to other public facilities
would remain less than significant as identified
in the 2022 EIR.
