RECOMMENDED FINDINGS

CEQA FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15183
T
he Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings based on the Environmental Checklist for the 333-385 Moffett Park Drive project (the “Project”) prepared by David J. Powers and Associates, dated September 2025 (“Environmental Checklist”):

A. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183

1. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed the programmatic Draft and Final Environmental Impact Reports for the Moffett Park Specific Plan, State Clearinghouse #202108033 (the “MPSP EIR”).

2. The MPSP EIR identified measures to mitigate, to the extent feasible, the significant adverse project and cumulative impacts associated with the buildout anticipated by the MPSP. In addition, the MPSP EIR identified significant and unavoidable impacts with regard to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and utilities

3. On June 12, 2023, the City Council certified the MPSP EIR as prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, made Findings required by CEQA, adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and adopted the MPSP.

4. In addition to serving as the environmental document for the adoption of the MPSP, the MPSP EIR was intended by the City to serve as the basis for compliance with CEQA for projects that are consistent with the development density established by the MPSP in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 provides that where a project is consistent with the use and density established for a property under existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which a city has previously certified an EIR, additional environmental review is not required “except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 further provides that if an environmental effect of a project is not peculiar to the parcel or the project, has been addressed as a significant impact in the EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development standards or policies, then an additional EIR need not be prepared on the basis of that effect.

5. The City has analyzed the proposed Project to determine if the Project meets the criteria for streamlined environmental review under Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines.

6. The MPSP contains a number of goals, policies, and implementing actions that affirm the General Plan’s vision for sustainable development, including its vision statement (which refers to advancing sustainability), Guiding Principle 1 (Maintain Moffett Park as an integral part of Sunnyvale),Guiding Principle 4 (Maintain and strengthen Moffett Park as a diverse economic engine that supports economic prosperity for all) Policy LT-12.4 (Attract and retain a diversity of commercial enterprises and industrial uses to sustain and bolster the local economy and provide a range of job opportunities) Policy LT-14.8 (Ensure that development projects provide appropriate improvements or resources to meet the city’s future infrastructure and facility needs, and provide development incentives that result in community benefits and enhance the quality of life for residents and workers) and P-2 (TDM program compliance).

7. The Project would meet the California Building Standards Code (CALGreen) Mandatory Measures and GreenPoint Rated Checklist and achieve at least 90 points and a Build It Green Certification. The Project applicant would incorporate green building measures including, but not limited to, the following:

• Renewable Energy: The Project would install approximately 34,500 square feet of solar access roof area on the roofs of Buildings A and B. • Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging: The Project would include 565 EV and EV- ready parking spaces.
• Resource Efficient Landscaping: The Project would plant drought tolerant and native species for landscaping.
• Green Roof: The Project would provide approximately 18,600 square feet of vegetation on the roof of the podium.

The Project would also implement a transportation demand management program consistent with the MPSP. Additionally, the project would comply with the State’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards, which set standards for heating, cooling, solar, battery storage, water savings, lighting, and building envelopes that would ensure that the building energy consumption would not be wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary.

8. The Environmental Checklist prepared for the Project concludes that the Project would not result in significant impacts peculiar to the Project or Project site, any significant impacts that were not analyzed or discussed in the MPSP EIR, and/or are any significant impacts that would not be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards. Additionally, the Project would not result in any potentially significant off-site or cumulative impacts that were not discussed in the MPSP EIR. Also, there are no significant effects that substantial new information shows would be more severe than discussed in the MPSP EIR. Thus, the City may rely upon the analysis in the certified MPSP EIR, and no further CEQA review is required.

9. Based on the Environmental Checklist prepared for the Project and other information in the record, and after a duly noticed public hearing, the City finds as follows:

a. The Project is consistent with the Moffett Park Specific Plan (MPSP).

b. The conditions of approval for the Project require the Project to undertake feasible mitigation measures required by the MPSP EIR and applicable to the Project.

c. With application of mitigation measures and/or uniformly applied development standards and policies, the Project will have no environmental effects that:
i. are peculiar to the Project or the parcel on which the Project is located;
ii. were not analyzed as significant effects in the MPSP EIR; iii. are potentially significant off-site impacts or cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the MPSP EIR; or
iv. are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantially new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the MPSP EIR.

d. Accordingly, the City finds that no additional EIR or other CEQA document needs to be prepared for the Project. The Project is determined to be consistent with the MPSP EIR.

10. The Department of Community Development, Planning Division, is the custodian of the records of the proceedings on which this decision is based. The records are located at Sunnyvale City Hall, 456 West Olive Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94086.

FINDINGS

The Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings to approve a Site Master Plan and Special Development Permit.

1. The proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Sunnyvale General Plan and the Moffett Park Specific Plan (MPSP) by redeveloping an underutilized office site into a high-performing, all-electric, LEED Platinum- certified office/R&D campus that supports the City’s long-term vision for Moffett Park as a sustainable innovation district. [Finding Met] The project promotes economic vitality by providing approximately 293,996 square feet of modern office and research space in a location served by multiple modes of transportation, including proximity to Light rail, and VTA bus lines. This intensification of an existing employment site supports the General Plan’s Economic Prosperity and Sustainability policies by fostering a strong local employment base and reducing regional vehicle miles traveled.

The proposed project advances the City’s Climate Action Playbook goals through its commitment to all-electric design, renewable energy generation, and significant solar installation (approximately 34,500 square feet of panels).

Additionally, the project integrates on-site stormwater biotreatment areas, native landscaping, and pollinator habitat consistent with the MPSP’s ecological design framework.

The project supports community objectives by providing Privately Owned Publicly Accessible (POPA) open spaces, and creating new public amenities such as a bike repair station, pollinator mini park, and shared-use pedestrian/bike pathway along Moffett Park Drive.

Through these measures, the project contributes to the City’s goals of maintaining a balanced, innovative, and environmentally responsible employment district, while reinforcing Moffett Park’s identity as a connected, green, and people-focused place.

The environmental impacts of the project were analyzed under the Moffett Park Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and the project has been determined to be consistent with that EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. No new or more severe environmental effects are anticipated as a result of the project.

2. The proposed use ensures that the general appearance of the proposed structures, and the uses to be made of the property, will not impair either the orderly development of, or the existing uses being made of, adjacent properties. [Finding Met]
Attachment 4

Page 11 of 12 ends

The project has been designed to complement the surrounding development within Moffett Park and will enhance the district’s visual and functional quality.

The architectural design features two three-story office/R&D buildings above a three-level podium, incorporating sculpted glass façades, metal panel cladding, and recessed glazing to achieve a high-quality, contemporary appearance.

The podium-level terrace and outdoor amenity spaces—including a 24,270- square-foot fitness area and 18,400-square-foot landscaped terrace—create active, visually engaging spaces while breaking up the building massing and providing pedestrian connectivity across the site. The design incorporates geometric articulation and a distinctive “bow-tie” façade composition that introduces rhythm and lightness to the building’s form.

The high-quality architectural treatment, attention to pedestrian scale, and integration of ecological landscape design ensure that the project will not impair the orderly development of adjacent properties and will instead contribute positively to the evolving character of the Moffett Park innovation district.
