BP-32. REACH CODES:
The residential building is subject to the City’s Reach Codes for new multifamily buildings – high rise. Prior to building permit issuance, the project green building professional shall confirm the construction plans are consistent with the Reach Codes. The following standards apply:
a) The new building shall be all-electric construction (no gas lines). All‐ electric appliances include heat pump water and space heaters, induction cooktops, electric clothes dryers, among others. b) A solar Photo Voltaic (PV) System of at least 5 megawatts shall be installed.
c) Electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure shall be installed. Due to the requested LSAP Development Incentive for EV parking, Level 2 EV charging stations (EVCS) must be installed for each of the required Level 2 EV-ready circuits (RC). Since the office and residential use will be sharing the parking structure, the most restrictive Reach Code EV parking requirements between the uses will apply. For offices, the Level 2 requirement is 35% EVCS, which is more restrictive than the 30% RC requirement for multifamily. The 70% Level 1 RC requirement for multifamily is more restrictive than the 35% C requirement for office. Therefore, the requirement for this project is 65% Level 1 RC and 35% EVCS for the 156 shared spaces in the parking structure. In order to obtain the density incentive, at least 35% EVCS (95 spaces) will need to be provided out of the 269 Attachment 4 Page 17 of 60

The qualified biologist shall survey the construction zone and a 250 ft. radius surrounding the construction zone to determine whether the activities taking place have the potential to disturb or otherwise harm nesting birds.
If an active nest is located within 100 feet (250 feet for raptors) of construction activities, the project applicant shall establish an exclusion zone (no ingress of personnel or equipment at a minimum radius of 100 feet or 250 feet, as appropriate around the next).
Alternative exclusion zones may be established through consultation with the CDFW and the USFWS, as necessary.

If authorized, noise and vibration reducing pile-driving techniques shall be employed during construction and will be monitored to ensure no damage to nearby structures occurs (i.e., vibrations above peak particle velocity (PPVs) of 0.25 inches per second at nearby structures). These techniques shall include:
- Installing intake and exhaust mufflers on pile-driving equipment; - Vibrating piles into place when feasible, and installing shrouds around the pile-driving hammer where feasible as determined by the Director of Community Development;
- Implementing “quiet” pile-driving technology (such as pre-drilling of piles and the use of more than one pile driver to shorten the total pile driving duration), where feasible, in consideration of geotechnical and structural requirements and conditions; - Using cushion blocks to dampen impact noise, if feasible based on soil conditions as determined by the Director of Community Development. Cushion blocks are blocks of material that are used with impact hammer pile drivers. They consist of blocks of material placed atop a piling during installation to minimize noise generated when driving the pile. Materials typically used for cushion blocks include wood, nylon and micarta (a composite material); and
− At least 48 hours prior to pile-driving activities, notifying building owners and occupants within 600 feet of the project area of the Attachment 4 Page 28 of 60

Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
1. Statutory Requirement
When a lead agency makes findings on significant environmental effects identified in an environmental impact report (EIR), the agency must also adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment” (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6(a) and California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15091(d) and Section 15097). The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is implemented to ensure that the mitigation measures and project revisions identified in the EIR are implemented. Therefore, the MMRP must include all changes in the proposed project either adopted by the project proponent or made conditions of approval by the lead agency or a responsible agency.
2. Administration of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program The City of Sunnyvale (City) is the lead agency responsible for the adoption of the MMRP. The City is responsible for implementing, verifying, and documenting compliance with the MMRP, in coordination with other identified agencies. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15097(a), a public agency may delegate reporting or monitoring responsibilities to another public agency or to a private entity that accepts the delegation. However, until mitigation measures have been completed, the lead agency remains responsible for ensuring that implementation of the measures occurs in accordance with the program.
3. Mitigation Measures and Reporting Program
Table A-1 is structured to enable quick reference to mitigation measures and the associated monitoring program based on the environmental resource. The numbering of mitigation measures correlates with numbering of measures found in the impact analysis sections of the Draft EIR.

Sunnyvale shall ensure that the
BAAQMD’s basic construction
mitigation measures from Table 8 -1
of the BAAQMD 2011 CEQA Air
Quality Guidelines (or subsequent
updates) are noted on the
construction documents. These basic
construction mitigation measures
include the following:
1. All exposed surfaces (e.g.,
parking areas, staging areas, soil
piles, graded areas, and unpaved
access roads) shall be watered
two times per day.
2. All haul trucks transporting soil,
sand, or other loose material off-
site shall be covered.
3. 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.
4. All vehicle speeds on unpaved
roads shall be limited to 15 miles
per hour (mph).
5. 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.
6. All construction equipment shall
be maintained and properly
tuned in accordance with
manufacturers’ specifications. All
equipment shall be checked by a
certified mechanic and
determined to be running in
proper condition prior to
operation.

Code Section 6254.10, information

Biological Resources
MM 3.9.2 Prior to the removal of trees or the
demolition of buildings, a bat survey
shall be performed by a qualified
biologist no more than 3 days prior to
the start of construction activities. If
bat roosts are identified, the City
shall require that the bats be safely
flushed from the sites where roosting
habitat is planned to be removed. If
maternity roosts are identified
during the maternity roosting season
(typically May to September), they
must remain undisturbed until a
qualified biologist has determined
the young bats are no longer
roosting. If roosting is found to occur
on-site, replacement roost habitat
(e.g., bat boxes) shall be provided to
offset roosting sites removed. If no
bat roosts are detected, no further
action is required if the trees and
buildings are removed prior to the
next breeding season.
• If a female or maternity colony of
bats is found on the project site,
and the project can be
constructed without the
elimination or disturbance of the
roosting colony (e.g., if the colony
roosts in a large oak tree not
planned for removal), a qualified

Nonbreeding bats shall be safely

MM 3.9.3 All construction and clearing
activities shall be conducted outside
of the avian nesting season (January
15–

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
3.8-1 The City shall require that a Phase I

any application for new
development or redevelopment
within the adopted LSAP boundary.
The Phase I ESA shall be prepared by
a qualified professional registered in
California and in accordance with
ASTM E1527-13 (or the most current
version at the time a development
application is submitted for the

conducted to determine the lateral
and vertical extent of soil,
groundwater, and/or soil vapor
contamination, as recommended by
the Phase I ESA.
The City shall not issue a building

for the use of the site have been
completed, consistent with
applicable regulations and to the
satisfaction of the City of Sunnyvale,
