Development Agreement
6. The amendments to the Development Agreement, which reflect updates to the Station East Project and other miscellaneous provisions, are consistent with the General Plan designation of Station East Mixed Use Residential, and applicable General Plan policies. Specifically, the project is consistent with the goal to establish a high density, transit-oriented, walkable residential and commercial district which allows for multifamily residential uses and mixed-use residential uses, with ground floor commercial uses along the site’s major thoroughfares. The amendments to the Development Agreement are also consistent with the applicable policies of the Station District Specific Plan.
7. The amendments to the Development Agreement, which reflect updates to the Station East Project and other miscellaneous provisions, will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing in the immediate area and will not be detrimental or injurious to property or persons in the general neighborhood or to the general welfare of residents of the City as a whole because mitigation measures have been included to mitigate all potential significant impacts to less than significant levels, none of which would be changed by the amendment to the Development Agreement.
8. The amendments to the Development Agreement, which reflect updates to the Station East Project and other miscellaneous provisions, will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values because the Development Agreement facilitates the orderly development of the project over several years, including the provision and phasing of improvements, and provision of public benefits including but not limited to parks, affordable housing, and infrastructure improvements.
9. The amendments to the Development Agreement, which reflect updates to the Station East Project and other miscellaneous provisions, will facilitate implementation of the Station District Specific Plan, including the development of the Station East Mixed Use Residential area as envisioned in the Station District Specific Plan.
10. The amendments to the Development Agreement, which reflect updates to the Station East Project and other miscellaneous provisions, are consistent with Government Code Section 65864 through 65869.5 because it provides some assurances to the applicant to proceed with the multi-year project in accordance with existing policies, rules and regulations in return for the provision of public benefits. A noticed public hearing on the proposed Amendment to the Development Agreement was provided.
SECTION 4. Approval. The City Council hereby approves the Development Agreement Amendment between the Station East Owner, LLC, and the City of Union City, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made hereof, and available for review in the City Clerk's office Surplus (+) 184 805 -122 867

If it is shown that the project would result in exceedances of thresholds during any year of the project’s life, the project applicant shall pay a mitigation offset fee pursuant to BAAQMD’s emission reduction credit or interchangeable emission credit program, in an amount to be determined prior to the first year of exceedance over the life of the project (30 years). All fees for such credits shall be paid by the project applicant prior to the receipt of any certificate of final occupancy. If, at the time of the certificate of occupancy for the final building is issued, the project applicant demonstrates there are no exceedances, no further action shall be required.
105. Mitigation Measure CUL-2a: Preconstruction Archaeological Sensitivity Training.
Prior to the start of any construction activities, a qualified archaeologist shall conduct a preconstruction archaeological sensitivity training to the excavation crew. This training shall include an overview of what cultural resource are and why they are important, archaeological terms (such as site, feature, deposit), project site history, types of cultural resources likely to be uncovered during excavation, laws that protect cultural resources, and the unanticipated discovery protocol.
106. Mitigation Measure CUL-2b: Unanticipated Discovery Protocol. Should an archaeological resource be encountered during project construction activities, the construction contractor shall halt construction within 50 feet of the find and immediately notify the City. Construction activities shall be redirected and a qualified archaeologist, in consultation with the City, shall 1) evaluate the archaeological resource to determine if it meets the CEQA definition of a historical or unique archaeological resource and 2) make recommendations about the treatment of the resource, as warranted. If the resource does meet the CEQA definition of a historical or unique archaeological resource, then it shall be avoided to the extent feasible by project construction activities. If avoidance is not feasible, then adverse effects to the deposit shall be mitigated as specified by CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(b) (for historic resources) or Section 21083.2 (for unique archaeological resources). This mitigation may include, but is not limited to, a thorough recording of the resource on Department of Parks and Recreation Form 523 records, or archaeological data recovery excavation. If data recovery excavation is warranted, CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4 (b)(3)(C), which requires a data recovery plan prior to data recovery excavation, shall be followed. If the significant identified resources are unique archaeological resources, mitigation of these resources shall be subject to the limitations on mitigation measures for archaeological resources identified in CEQA Guidelines Sections 21083.2 (c) through 21083.2 (f).
107. Mitigation Measure CUL-3: Handling of Human Remains. In the event that any human remains are encountered during construction activities, work within 50 feet of the discovery shall be redirected and the Alameda County Coroner shall be notified immediately.
Concurrently, an archaeologist shall be contacted to assess the situation and consult with the appropriate agencies. If the human remains are of Native American origin, the coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24 hours of this identification in accordance with section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code, City Council/RSA Agenda 255 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Resolution No. XXXX-24
Approving Site Development Review for PA 2 in Station East (SD-23-006)
and section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, as applicable. The NAHC shall identify a most likely descendant to inspect the site and provide recommendations for the proper treatment of the remains and associated grave goods. 108. Mitigation Measure GEO-7: Paleontological Monitoring and Mitigation Plan. Prior to initial ground disturbance in previously undisturbed strata of geologic units, the applicant shall retain a Qualified Paleontologist, as defined by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, to direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources and design a Paleontological Mitigation and Monitoring Program (PMMP) for the proposed project. The PMMP shall include measures for a preconstruction survey, a training program for construction personnel, paleontological monitoring, fossil salvage, curation, and final reporting, as applicable.
109. Mitigation Measure GHG-1a: Require Implementation of BAAQMD-recommended Construction BMPs. The project sponsor shall require their contractors, as a condition of contracts (e.g., standard specifications), to reduce construction-related GHG emissions by implementing BAAQMD's recommended BMPs, including (but not limited to) the following measures (based on BAAQMD's CEQA Guidelines ). The project applicant shall submit evidence of compliance to the City prior to permit issuance. Ensure alternative fueled (e.g. biodiesel, electric) construction vehicles/equipment make up at least 15 percent of the fleet
Use local building materials of at least 10 percent (sourced from within 100 miles of the Planning Area)
Recycle and reuse at least 65 percent of construction waste or demolition materials 110. Mitigation Measure HAZ-2a: Site Management Plan. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the project sponsor shall retain the services of a qualified environmental engineering firm to prepare and implement, during site preparation and grading activities, a Site Management Plan (SMP). The SMP shall be designed to protect human health and the environment and include protocols, measures, and techniques for the proper handling, management, and disposition of affected soils and groundwater associated with construction dewatering (if any) found on the site and any areas of off-site work during site preparation and grading activities. The SMP shall also be designed to protect workers and off-site receptors during site activities and ensure the proper characterization, management, and/or disposal of contaminated environmental media that exceed applicable environmental screening levels established by the RWQCB, regional screening levels established by EPA, or other screening thresholds approved for the project. The environmental engineering firm shall determine the applicability of Bay Area Air Quality Management District (or other agency) rules for fugitive dust control and/or VOC emissions during earthwork, and the SMP shall provide compliance protocols to be adhered to, including air monitoring protocols, if required. The SMP shall be prepared by a commercial environmental engineering firm with demonstrated expertise and experience in the preparation of SMPs and be stamped by an appropriately licensed professional. The SMP shall be submitted for City and outside agency review in conformance with Decoto Industrial Park Study Area (DIPSA) Specific Plan, Toxic and Hazardous Substances Policy 5, and implemented throughout all ground-disturbing work.
The SMP shall establish protocols and measures for addressing the discovery of presently unknown environmental conditions or subsurface structures such as USTs or sumps. At a minimum, there shall be protocols for the sampling and testing of soil unearthed during the City Council/RSA Agenda 256 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Resolution No. XXXX-24
Approving Site Development Review for PA 2 in Station East (SD-23-006)
construction of new or replacement of existing water mains off-site. If the environmental engineering firm subsequently identifies the need for further sampling, the project sponsor shall implement this and any other requirements identified in the SMP. The project sponsor shall enter into a voluntary agreement with the RWQCB for review and approval of the SMP. As lead agency for the site cleanup, the RWQCB will also have oversight authority pertaining to implementation of the SMP. If directed by the RWQCB, additional site investigation and characterization may be required prior to construction to ensure that hazardous materials in the soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater do not exceed applicable regulatory thresholds. If additional site investigation and characterization is required prior to construction, the project sponsor shall implement said studies (and their respective recommendations,1 if necessary) prior to construction. The RWQCB will also consult and coordinate with the Alameda County Water District (ACWD) on the scope of the SMP.
The project sponsor shall provide a copy of the SMP to the ACWD at the same time the SMP is submitted to the RWQCB for review and comment. As part of its review of the SMP, the ACWD shall also review the design of long-term drainage and stormwater treatment plans. The project sponsor shall incorporate all recommendations and requirements from the ACWD into the SMP and drainage/stormwater treatment plans as appropriate. As the oversight agency, the RWQCB shall provide the project sponsor with comments on the SMP. Prior to issuance of the grading permit, the project sponsor shall provide the City with a copy of the approved SMP and implement the SMP during site preparation and grading under the approving agency’s oversight at the project sponsor’s cost.
111. Mitigation Measure HAZ-2b: Engineering Controls on the Project Site. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the project sponsor shall demonstrate compliance with the recommendations in the Step-out Soil Gas Assessment (ENGEO 2013) to address vapor intrusion concerns. Implementation of engineering controls shall be implemented on the project site in accordance with the Step-out Soil Gas Assessment (ENGEO 2013) to address the presence of elevated VOCs (in areas where TCE and PCE concentrations exceeded residential screening levels). Engineering controls shall be installed to redirect and or minimize VOC concentrations. Said engineering controls shall consist of controls that allow for appropriate ventilation and discharge of the vapors into the atmosphere.
Specific engineering controls may include, but will not be limited to:
Installation of subsurface migration barriers; and/or Inclusion of ventilated foundations for any proposed structures; and/or The use and implementation of an alternative method or structural design that would address soil gas releases and reduce the potential for hazardous conditions to occur.
Appropriate engineering control system(s) shall be determined with concurrence, approval, and oversight of the DTSC and RWQCB (as applicable) and shall be dependent on future building placement and construction. Any DTSC requirements for long-term operation, monitoring, and maintenance (OMM) of the vapor mitigation systems shall be complied with, including any requirements to secure the cost of such OMM with a financial security instrument such as a performance bond. Any land use covenant required by DTSC to ensure the long-term efficacy of the vapor mitigation systems shall be recorded in property title records by the project sponsor or successor owner. If monitoring or extraction wells remain in place at the time that engineering controls are submitted to DTSC and RWQCB, the placement of such engineering controls shall either not interfere with City Council/RSA Agenda 257 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Resolution No. XXXX-24
Approving Site Development Review for PA 2 in Station East (SD-23-006)
operation of the well facilities, or DTSC and/or RWQCB shall have approved any required modifications to the well facilities.
Prior to project grading, the project sponsor shall enter into a voluntary oversight agreement (or California Land Reuse and Revitalization Act [CLRRA] agreement) with DTSC and submit for DTSC’s approval a remedial plan for the evaluation and removal of known hazardous substances present in soil. The remedial plan shall specify risk-based screening levels appropriate for future residential use (in the residential areas) and for commercial use (in the commercial areas). The project sponsor shall implement the approved remedial plan under DTSC’s oversight. Confirmation sampling shall document that all soil exceeding the screening levels has been successfully removed. Prior to commencement of project grading, DTSC shall have issued written concurrence that known soil contamination has been satisfactorily addressed. The project sponsor shall provide a copy of DTSC’s written concurrence to the City. 112. Mitigation Measure NOI-1a: Construction Noise Control Plan. Prior to demolition or grading permit issuance, the project applicant shall submit a noise control plan to reduce construction noise levels such that project construction noise would be in compliance with the City’s Community Noise Ordinance, as determined by a qualified acoustical consultant, for approval by the Economic and Community Development Department. The plan shall require one of the following measures in order to achieve this result:
Noise producing construction activities shall be restricted to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. during weekdays; 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays; and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. In addition, permitted construction activities shall meet at least one of the following noise limitations:
o No individual piece of equipment shall be permitted to produce a noise level exceeding 83 decibels (dBA) as measured at a distance of 25 feet. This could be achieved in a variety of ways, including but not limited to selecting quieter equipment that generates noise levels of less than 83 dBA Lmax at a distance of 25 feet, or incorporating sound muffling devices on construction equipment; OR
o The noise levels at any point outside the property plane (for the purposes of this analysis, the “property plane” is assumed to be the boundaries of the project site) of the project shall not exceed 86 dBA. This could be achieved in a variety of ways, including but not limited to ensuring equipment is operating at sufficient distances from the edge of the project site property line, incorporating sound muffling devices on construction equipment, or utilizing temporary noise barriers to reduce construction noise when construction equipment must be in proximity to the edge of the property line (particularly near noise-sensitive land uses). All construction equipment shall have appropriate sound muffling devices, which shall be properly maintained and used at all times such equipment is in operation. The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the closest off-site sensitive receptors. The construction contractor shall locate on-site equipment staging areas so as to maximize the distance between construction-related noise sources and the noisesensitive receptors closest to the project construction areas.
City Council/RSA Agenda 258 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Resolution No. XXXX-24
Approving Site Development Review for PA 2 in Station East (SD-23-006)
A publicly visible sign shall be posted with the telephone number and contact information for the designated on-site construction manager available to receive and respond to noise complaints. This person shall report all complaints to the City of Union City Public Works Department.
113. Mitigation Measure NOI-1b: Operational Equipment Noise Control Plan. An Operational Equipment Noise Control Plan shall be prepared prior to issuance of the first City-issued building permit for the proposed development for approval by the Building Division. The plan shall include a noise analysis for the project that evaluates HVAC and other stationary mechanical equipment with the potential to generate noise levels in excess of ambient noise levels by 10 dB on new residential properties and by 12 dB on new commercial properties.
The analysis shall be prepared by persons qualified in acoustical analysis and/or engineering and demonstrate with reasonable certainty that the operational noise sources associated with the project would not result in a noise level that would be in excess of the Community Noise Ordinance. All recommendations from the acoustical analysis necessary for ensuring that noise sources would meet applicable requirements of the noise ordinance and would not result in 10 dB (for sources on residential properties) or 12 dB (for sources on commercial properties) increases in ambient noise levels shall be incorporated into plans submitted for building permit issuance and building operation.
Alameda County Water District (ACWD) Conditions
114. Existing Hazardous Material Contamination: The ability to install a public water system within the Project area would be conditioned upon confirmation that the soil, groundwater, and/or soil gas vapors do not pose a risk to the health and safety of workers either during installation of the public water system or during its long-term routine operation and maintenance. The public water system extension and all appurtenances must be constructed in "clean corridors," which would be assured by either further testing of native soil, groundwater, and/or soil vapors along the proposed public water system alignments or by use of clean imported fill as backfill for all trenches excavated for any part of the public water system. The use of upgraded materials, including but not limited to all steel pipelines with upgraded gaskets, may be required.
115. The Project shall be designed to implement water efficient plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems, including but not limited to, those listed in the Water Efficiency Measures for New Development, located on the District’s website
(http://acwd.org/DocumentCenter/View/421).
116. ACWD requires that new proposed water mains be in service and conditionally accepted by the District prior to installing any proposed water meters or fire line detector check valves (i.e., fire services) for this project. Special coordination will be required with the proposed public water system extension (PWSE) developer and installer of the proposed water mains in 8th Street and 9th Street so that there are not delays in providing water service for this proposed project.
117. The District requires that minimum clearance requirements are maintained between water meters, service lines, fire hydrants or mains and the nearest utilities, buildings, and trees.
Reference District Standard Drawings CL-1-08 through CL-5-08. 118. The most likely service configurations would appear to involve a domestic redundant master meters for the residential units, separate service and meter(s) for fire service, City Council/RSA Agenda 259 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Resolution No. XXXX-24
Approving Site Development Review for PA 2 in Station East (SD-23-006)
separate meter(s) serving the landscape irrigation demands, and separate meter(s) for the non-residential components, including the retail spaces, amenity, and other non-residential spaces (leasing office, gym, clubhouse, etc.).
119. Each residential domestic, non-residential, and irrigation services will, and the fire service may, require an above-ground reduced pressure backflow prevention device. Backflow prevention devices must be located in accordance with District Standard Drawings BP-1- 08 through BP-3-08. The location and screening of these above-ground devices should be considered in the site design to address both District installation standards as well as aesthetic concerns of the development. Backflows located within buildings shall not be acceptable. Backflow devices shall be accessible to District forces. 120. Residential domestic water service to each building containing at least 50 residential units shall be served from two (2) or more redundant master metered service connections. Each redundant service connection shall be served from separate water mains per Section 4.2.4- e of the District's Development Specifications for Public Water System Extensions, located on the District's website (www.acwd.org).
121. Master meters sized greater than 2-inches serving this property shall be contained within below-ground vaults, whose sizes shall be determined by the meter size and associated appurtenances. Generally, such vaults may measure 5-feet wide by 7-feet long or could be as large as 6-feet wide by 10-feet long. Vaults, or any part thereof, on private property must be located within public right-of-way or easements dedicated to the District and these easements must extend a minimum of 5-feet around the perimeter of the vault (reference Condition 125, below). The vaults must be flush with the existing grade and be set at no less than 6-inches below the top of the adjacent curb. The vault and service laterals should be located to provide a minimum horizontal clearance of five feet from other utilities and from trees. Reference District Standard Drawings CL-4-08 and CL-5-08. Similarly, the proposed water services must meet District installation and clearance requirements, such as minimum horizontal clearances between service laterals. Space must also be provided for the required private backflow prevention devices.
122. ACWD requires private sub-metering of all master metered units in compliance with Water Code Division 1, Chapter 8, Article 5 for newly constructed multi-unit residential structures served by master meters. Water service will not be provided until the City has inspected and certified that individual submeters to each dwelling unit have been installed and tested. It is the District's understanding that onsite sub-meters are under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Measurement Standards (CDFA DMS). The District recommends that the applicant and/or property owner contact CDFA DMS regarding any requirements they may have. Prior to the release of jobs for master meter installation and in accordance with the Water Code, applicant and/or property owner shall submit written verification by the City of Union City or applicant and/or property owner that private submeters have been installed to each individual unit served off the master meter.
123. Easements dedicated to the District shall be provided for all District-owned appurtenances located in private property and outside the public right-of-way. Easements dedicated to the District will require a plat and legal description, prepared by a licensed surveyor, to District standards, along with a current title report for any property or properties affected by the easement. The applicant and/or property owner should refer to the Development Specifications or contact the District Engineering Department for more information.
City Council/RSA Agenda 260 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Resolution No. XXXX-24
Approving Site Development Review for PA 2 in Station East (SD-23-006)
124. Copies of the District’s Standard Specifications for Water Main Installation and Development Specifications for Public Water System Extensions are available on the District's website at http://www.acwd.org or may be purchased from the District’s engineering division.
125. For modifications of existing water facilities or to initiate new water service to the property, the applicant and/or property owner should contact the District Engineering Department.
Any existing water services which will not be used in the new development must be removed by the District at the applicant’s and/or property owner’s expense. 126. Applicant and/or property owner shall contact ACWD’s Groundwater Resources Division regarding requirements related to any drilling, deep excavations, existing wells or elevator shaft construction.
127. Elevator Shafts: The installation of elevator shafts that intersect an aquifer or may impact the integrity of any aquitard located directly above an aquifer are regulated as other excavations under ACWD’s Ordinance No. 2010-01. Elevator shafts are frequently installed similar to wells and exploratory holes. If the annular space between the excavation or borehole wall and the shaft is not properly sealed, it can act as a vertical conduit and may create preferential pathways that allow pollutants to rapidly infiltrate the subsurface and impact groundwater. For this reason, ACWD requests the applicant and/or property owners coordinate the design of the elevator shaft with ACWD. 128. Existing Hazardous Material Contamination: The ability to install a public water system within the Project area would be conditioned upon confirmation that the soil, groundwater, and/or soil gas vapors do not pose a risk to the health and safety of workers either during installation of the public water system or during its long-term routine operation and maintenance. The public water system extension and all appurtenances must be constructed in "clean corridors," which would be assured by either further testing of native soil, groundwater, and/or soil vapors along the proposed public water system alignments or by use of clean imported fill as backfill for all trenches excavated for any part of the public water system. The use of upgraded materials, including but not limited to all steel pipelines with upgraded gaskets, may be required.
Union Sanitary District (USD) Conditions
129. Trash Chutes/Rooms/Enclosures – When required to have sanitary sewer drains, wastewater from a trash enclosure shall pass through a minimum 320 gal. interceptor, per USD Detail 23. No drain to sanitary sewer shall be installed if Health Dept. or City does not require it.
130. Parking Structure Drains & Elevator/Escalator/Equipment Sumps – Not allowed to discharge to sanitary sewer, even if equipped with a sand/oil/water separator or similar device.
131. Sewer Capacity Fee: The capacity fees (connection) will be calculated from the applicable rates in USD’s Capacity Fee Ordinance (see

Problem: Design a waste and recycling system for this mixed use project comprised of 47 residential units and 9,693 SF of commercial space which will may include food and beverage use that that minimizes upfront and ongoing costs, staffing requirements and environmental impacts, while providing convenient trash disposal for residents and commercial tenants. Please note the word “trash” when used in this plan covers both waste, recyclable materials and organic materials.Waste and Recycling Removal: The City of Union City has contracts with Republic Services and TriCED Community Recycling for garbage, recycling and organics (food scraps, food-soiled paper and plant debris) collection service. Single stream recycling cart service is provided by Tri-CED. Bin, compactor or drop box service is provided by Republic Services. Given the size of this project Republic Services will provide recycling services. Single Stream (mixed recycling) Recycling rates are charged per dwelling unit.Situation: The State of California Mandatory Commercial Recycling Act (AB341) continued by AB1826 and SB1383 goes into effect in 2022. SB 1383 and the Alameda County Organics Reduction and Recycling Ordinance requires all businesses to keep compostable and recyclables out of landfills. Each type of refuse must be placed a separate container designated for collection of that type of refuse by the city’s franchised waste and recycling vendor. Requirements to collect food scraps and compostable materials separately from garbage is required for multi-family properties in Alameda County. All plant debris must be separated from garbage and recyclable materials. Multi-family property owners or managers can arrange for the removal of plant debris by their landscaper. The landscaper must haul to an approved facility and must deposit plant debris in the facility’s designated “clean green” area.

Project Specific Design Issues and Recommendations:
First, to meet the State requirements of AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383, trash must be collected in three streams (waste, mixed recycling, and compost). Second, for the residential portion of the project, we recommend installing one chute core, as designed. A single chute core can handle up to 500 units the current unit count is well below the maximum unit count. Third, the residential waste and recycling chutes should be 30” in diameter with automatic opening 15”x18” hopper type intake doors. NFPA 82 minimum required 24” chutes have a higher probability of chute jams due to large objects (super-size pizza boxes, Costco boxes, ironing boards, etc.) being thrown down to the chute.Fourth, due to the site’s projected trash volumes, we recommend all waste and recycling be collected in loose containers. The projected residential waste and recycling volumes can be handled in 2CY loose bins and the retails in 3CY loose bins. Fifth, there are a few handling options to compost. Residential compost can be handled via a 24” 304 stainless steel chute or in a 23G container on the upper floors. We have recommended a 23G container in the upper floors for compost collection in our drawings. Sixth, on the upper floors the chutes share walls with residential units. We recommend installing double walls, sound-dampening coating, or sound isolation padding to reduce sounds, vibration and odorsSeventh, due to the number of units, the project is estimated to generate 165 cardboard boxes per week. We recommend providing a designated area (in the mailroom, if space allows) for residents to leave their flattened cardboard that is too large to fit down the chute. This will reduce the potential for chute jams. Building staff will then move this cardboard to the recycling bin using a material handling cart.Eighth, a trash disposal system for retail trash must be provided. The retail tenants may either: 1) handle all trash within their leasable space, or 2) share the residential trash room. The projected retail and residential trash volumes allow for sharing one trash room. If electing for a shared trash room, we recommend the residential and commercial portions be separated with a chain link fence and have separate trash bins for each.Ninth, add one CFM/SF mechanical ventilation per CBC, floor drain, hose bib, and odor control to the trash collection rooms. Specify automatic opening chute intake doors to meet accessibility requirements. Additionally, NFPA 82 requires gravity chutes vent through the roof at least 36” and at full diameter..Tenth, Union Sanitary District requires grease traps in any sanitary drain in the trash collection room(s). They must be incorporated in the building’s trash room design.Eleventh, a safe and effective location for trash bin staging must be designated. Front-load service requires 25’ clear height. . © American Trash Management, Inc. 2024 Page of 3 19 Friday, February 2, 2024 1900 Powell Street, Suite 220

Projected Residential Waste, Recycling, and Compost Levels-: The following metrics were used to project residential waste, recycling and compost levels.
Residential Waste: 0.16 Cubic Yard (32 gallon) per week/unit. NOTE: This is the equivalent of almost 3 large kitchen garbage cans per unit per week (2.4 - 13 gallon bags).Residential Recycling: 0.16 Cubic Yard (32 gallon) per week/unit. NOTE: This is the equivalent of almost 3 large kitchen garbage cans per unit per week (2.4 - 13 gallon bags).Residential Compost: 0.02 Cubic Yard (4 gallon) per week/unit. NOTE: This is the equivalent of one small compost pail per unit per week.
Residential Trash Volumes: Below is a summary of projected LOOSE waste, recycling and compost volumes.Commercial Trash Volumes: Food and beverage tenants generate much higher trash volumes than standard retail tenants. We have assumed two cafes and five standard retail spaces for this report.*This report assumes the retail tenants will share communal loose bins.

Proposed Residential Handling System: To comply with City ordinances, the project’s residential trash will be collected in 3 different streams: Waste, Mixed Recyclables (paper, cardboard & containers) and Compost (food & organic materials).Residents will place the waste or recycling stream in the appropriate chutes in the upper floor vestibules and discharge into loose 2CY bins in the trash termination room. .Compost will be collected in separate 23G containers on the upper floors, staff will be responsible for moving to the trash termination room daily for service by the hauler. Increasing the chute size for waste and recycling to 30” above the 24” minimum required by CBC will slightly increase the chute system cost but it will reduce the possibility of chute jams due to large objects (e.g., super size pizza, Amazon and Costco boxes) being thrown down the chute. This will reduce ongoing maintenance cost while increasing tenant convenience.The waste and recycling chutes should be 16 gauge galvaneal or aluminized steel and be isolated from the building structure using Mason BRA-Read mounts or equivalent. The chute should be coated with a sound dampening compound (Soundcoat GP-1 or equivalent) equal to the thickness of the metal.NOTE: We recommend limiting the chute intake doors to 15”x18” to minimize residents putting large, bulky items down the chutes. Based on input from property managers, tenants have been known to dispose of ironing boards, ficus trees, chairs and crutches down chutes. The recommended 15”x18” intake door will easily handle large kitchen trash bags, while discouraging potentially problematic bulky items. Cardboard. Due to the number of units, the residential segment of this project is estimated to generate 165 cardboard boxes per week. While diverting cardboard will not result in any direct disposal savings at this time, it can help reduce the number of large boxes creating chute jams. We recommend providing a space adjacent to the trash rooms for residents to place their large, flattened cardboard boxes. These boxes will be moved by building staff daily into a spare recycling bin.Odor Control. To mitigate malodors in the trash room(s), a four-pronged approach is recommended including cleaning, proper ventilation, and installing a deodorizer system.1. Mechanical Exhaust of Trash Collection Room. The mechanical ventilation required rate is 1 CFM/ SF, however, ATM recommends increasing this rate as needed, especially in areas with warmer climate. Exhaust should vent through the roof. ATM does not recommend a chilled/refrigerated trash room. A cooled space will not delay decomposition, and will have minimal impacts on odorous trash.
2. Cleaning the Trash Room. Trash rooms should be swept clean of debris on a weekly basis. Trash room wash-downs should be scheduled quarterly. These should include cleaning any trash equipment such as compactors, as well as floors and the walls. If possible, bins or compactor receiver containers should be cleaned at the same time, assuming the containers are empty. (Bins should be cleaned by onsite staff. If hauler-provided dumpsters become especially dirty, the should be replaced by the hauler.)
3. Cleaning the Chute. Almost all chutes are equipped with deodorizing and sanitizing (D&S) units, located on the top floor behind an access door. These should be operated on a WEEKLY basis, for ~5 minutes. Chutes that are designed for a high level of food wastes often also have a “Chute Janitor” built-in wash down system. These should be operated less often, such as 1x per month. © American Trash Management, Inc. 2024 Page of 5 19 Friday, February 2, 2024 1900 Powell Street, Suite 220

www.trashmanage.com
When turned on, they should be allowed to run through their normal Rinse-Wash-Rinse cycle. Even with the presence of the D&S and Chute Janitor systems, all chutes should be pressured washed at least once a year to clean materials that adhere to the sides of the chutes. In areas with warmer climate we recommend quarterly wash downs. The chute wash down service should include cleaning the trash discharge room, specifically the floors, walls and the waste and recycling compactor.
4. Odor Control Systems. Odor control systems can be helpful in controlling odors, but most have limited effectiveness or create other problems. Popular low-cost systems that spray a masking agent into the air, only serve to hide odors in the trash room and not eliminate them. Ozone generators are more effective, but the odor-destroying product they create — ozone — can have deleterious effect on human health and can also destroy compactor hoses and seals. One odor control system that avoids these problems is the Piian Mini Vaporizer. It creates a very fine 50-micron mist that bonds with — and ultimately destroys — odor causing molecules. And unlike ozone, the entirely natural blend of plant extracts, essential oils and emulsifiers which is safe and does not damage equipment. © American Trash Management, Inc. 2024 Page of 6 19 Friday, February 2, 2024 1900 Powell Street, Suite 220

Trash Chute Intake Doors ATM standard is to specify pneumatic (automatic) opening in order to meet all accessibility requirements per 2018 IBC 1010.1.3, which states that: “Controls and operating mechanisms shall be operable with one hand and shall not require tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist. The force required to activate controls and operating mechanisms shall be no greater than 5 pounds.”Chute Intake Doors and the Americans' with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) This is a summary of the current state as we understand it. This is not intended to be legal advice and should not be relied upon with out seeking advice of an ADA expert and your legal counsel.Per most building codes and FHA requirements, “common use” building areas and building elements, such as a trash rooms and trash chutes are required to be accessible. Specifically, the trash chute door is required to comply with accessibility requirements:
• Clear floor space for a wheel chair at the chute door • Chute door hardware within reach range • Chute door hardware complying with operability requirements.
The operability requirements mandate that the chute door hardware must not involve any of the following:
• Two handed operation (such as depressing a button while turning a door handle) • Tight grasping or pinching • Twisting of the wrist • Force to activate the hardware that exceeds 5.0 pounds.
The majority of manual chute intake chute door installations do not comply with the accessibility requirements. Lower quality chute doors require grasping, twisting of the wrist and more than 5 pounds of force to open the chute door. Regardless of what has been installed for the chute door, the chute door is still required by both Code and FHA requirements to comply with accessibility requirements. In the cases where non-compliant chutes have been installed, the building Owner has made management decision to handle the accessibility requirement using other means.Residential and other buildings are subject to the progressively revised provisions of Federal and Local ADA laws and regulations. To meet the current ADA Standards as they apply to Gravity Trash Chute Intake Doors, the person using the door must not have to grasp, twist, or pinch the control mechanism in order to operate the intake door. ADA Standards also limits the maximum operating force required to open an interior door (without specificity to size) to 5 pounds of force. The maximum allowable mounting height of the operating mechanisms (i.e. door handle, etc) of an ADA compliant device is 44" (for side reach revised as of 2016 from 48") or 44" (for front reach when hopper door is open). The maximum allowable projection of an ADA compliant device is 4" off the projection surface of the wall.The Wilkinson Signature Series and IDC-2000 Recycling Manually operated doors requires the person operating the door to push a membrane selector switch (waste, recycling or compost) and grasp the uManual Chute Intake Door Air Assist Chute Intake Door© American Trash Management, Inc. 2024 Page of 8 19 Friday, February 2, 2024 SEE SITE PLAN, SHEET TMP1

shaped handle, push down on the thumb latch with a finger and pull open the door. This type of intake doors meets the mounting height, the projection, the twist and the pinch requirements but it does not meet the pulling force or the grasp requirement.Lower quality manual chute intake doors from other manufacturers all use a T-handle or L-handle operating mechanism. These doors fail on 3 counts. They do not meet the pulling force, the grasp and twist requirements. These door are especially hard to operate for persons with arthritis due to the required simultaneously grasping, twisting and pulling motion.The Wilkinson Signature Series and IDC 2000 Pneumatic Assist door meet all the above requirements since it is operated by pushing a palm button which opens the door automatically. The door closes after a set time and latches so it meets all the current fire code requirements. The air assist mechanism is designed to preclude the need to grasp, twist, or pinch the control mechanism in order to operate the intake door. The push button meet the height, projection and force requirements too. It is conceivable, however that certain disabled persons will still not be able to operate this type of door. ADA law requires one to accommodate all persons with disabilities.The supra-majority of all new construction within the US still uses manually operated chute intake doors due to the extra upfront (~ $900 per floor) and higher maintenance costs of the Pneumatic Assist Chute Intake type of doors. Many building owners have chosen to only install the pneumatic assist doors in facilities with a high senior or disabled population and in order to meet the above ADA requirements make it their policy to provide a staff person to assist any individual with disabilities who need assistance in operating the manual operated door.Trash chute systems have been designed to meet the fire and life safety found within Building Codes, All trash chute intake doors are required to be behind a rated fire-barrier and any door in these walls is required to be a fire-rated door.This fire-rated-door is required to be self-closing (or automatic-closing upon the detection of smoke), so it has a closer mechanism and positive latch. Because this door is designated as a “fire-door”, per most codes and accessibility standards (including ANSI A117.1 used for FHA compliance), the door opening force for this door is exempt from typical accessibility requirements (maximum 5 pounds) and allowed to have a minimum opening force allowed by the authority having jurisdiction (typically a maximum of 15 pounds). The opening force for the required fire-rated doors in front of trash chute intake doors routinely exceeds 5 pounds and is more typically in the 14-18 pound range.Requiring the chute intake door to meet accessibility requirements while allowing the fire-rated door in front of the trash chute intake door to not meet the pull force and grasp requirements is illogical. If an individual with accessibility needs cannot open the fire door in front of the trash chute intake then they will not be able to access the non compliant chute. Owners should always have a policy in place to provide assistance to any person who can not access the trash chute (with or without automatic opening doors).© American Trash Management, Inc. 2024 Page of 9 19 Friday, February 2, 2024 1900 Powell Street, Suite 220

Commercial Trash Handling SystemTo comply with City ordinances, the project’s commercial trash will be collected in 3 different streams: Waste, Mixed Recyclables (paper, cardboard & containers) and Compost (food & organic materials).To achieve maximum efficiency and minimize space utilization, we recommend all seven retail spaces share the trash room with the residential segment, as currently designed. As long as the majority of spaces are not food and beverage, there is enough space to handle the projected trash volumes. If more than two retail spaces are leased to food and beverage tenants, the trash room may need to grow to accommodate the much higher projected trash volumes.All retail tenants will bring all three streams from their spaces to the residential trash room using material or Toter style handling carts. Once there, they will place waste and recycling into the dedicated loose bins. Compost will be placed loosely into 64 gallon carts for hauler service.Communal Commercial Trash System Equipment: Below is a summary of the recommended trash system equipment for the residential segment.

SAMPLE COMMERCIAL TENANT TRASH RULES Due to the nature of shared trash spaces we recommend implementing the following rules: 1. Moving Trash: Require commercial tenants who have any wet trash to move all solid waste and recycling with wheeled carts. These carts can have plastic liners which will make it easy for tenants to put their waste and recycling into the communal trash bins. No items can be moved in bags if there are only wet items in the bag. This is to avoid leaks. Virtually all tenants fall into this category.
2. Cleanup: Tenants will be responsible for keeping these carts clean and common areas clean. They cannot clean the carts in the common areas. Any sewer blockage will be the responsibility of the tenant. All spills if they do happen must be immediately cleaned up or the property management will fine the tenant and arrange for the clean up at the tenants expense. No vent hood filters or floor mats can be cleaned on site.
3. Cooking Oil & Fat Disposal: Tenant producing used cooking oil must store, arrange and pay for a service who will collect this used oil. No oil can be moved in open containers on the property. All spills must be immediately cleaned up or the property management will fine the tenant and arrange for the clean up at the tenants expense. Used cooking oil must be removed frequently as dictated by management (used cooking oil stinks).
4. Bulky Items: Disposal of any large bulky items that do not easily fit within the tenants trash containers must be removed from the property by the tenant at the tenants expense. Anything that is not typically disposed of on a regular basis must be handled directly by the tenant.
5. Hazardous Materials: Tenants are responsible for arranging and paying for the disposal of all Hazardous Material as defined by law.

Bin Staging: A safe and efficient location for bin staging must be identified we recommend staging in a loading zone or in an area that the hauler can access easily. Front load service front load bins requires 25’. Clear height (no lights, trees, sprinklers or other items within the service area) so it is unlikely service can take place within the building. We recommend all containers be moved by staff using an Electric Pallet Jack to the staging location. Noise Levels *Noise levels from compactor operation were measured by JV Manufacturing, makers of Cram-a- lot compactors.

I. BACKGROUND & PROPOSAL
The project site, PA 2 (shown in red in Figure 1), is part of a master planned community referred to as the Station East Mixed Use Residential Project (“Station East Project”) approved by the City Council in June 2021. The Station East Project as approved in 2021 included up to 974 multi-family units and 30,800 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial uses along Decoto Road, new parks, and a new circulation network spread throughout 11 Planning Areas. The project applicant is The Station East Owner LLC, who is a subsidiary of Integral Communities. The Station East Project was conditioned to require that development of individual Planning Areas be subject to Site Development Review (SDR).
The original approvals were amended in May 2023 to allow up to 874 units. As part of this SDR application, the applicant is proposing an update to the unit mix and type on PA 2. The 2021 approval for the Station East Project included 136 condominium units on PA 2 in two five-story mixed use buildings including a partially subterranean parking garage. The 2023 amendment to the Station East Project included 159 rental units on PA 2 in a mixed use building. The currently proposed project on PA 2 includes 75 units comprised of 28 condominium units in three 4-story buildings and 47 rental units and 9,466 square feet of retail in a 5-story mixed use building. See Exhibit A for the project plans.
The following summarizes the prior approvals associated with the 2021 entitlement process, the amendment approved in 2023, and the subsequent Station District Specific Plan, followed by a description of the current proposal.
General Plan Designation
The site has a General Plan designation of Station East Mixed Use Residential. The General Plan amendments adopted with the Station District Specific Plan in October 2022, created this new designation and applied it to the Station East Project site shown in Figure 1 as well as the sites noted as “Not Part of the Integral Project” along 7th Street. The purpose of the designation is to establish a high density, transit-oriented, walkable residential and commercial district which allows for multi-family residential uses and mixed-use residential uses, with ground floor commercial uses along the site’s major thoroughfares. The district allows residential uses with a minimum density of 25 units City Council/RSA Agenda 335 Tuesday, July 23, 2024

per acre, a maximum density of 100 units per acre and an average density of no less 50 units per acre.
Specific Plan
An amendment to the Decoto Industrial Park Study Area (DIPSA) Specific Plan (SP-20- 001) was approved (by Resolution No. 5776-21) on June 8, 2021 that included goals, policies, and design standards for the Station East Project site. The Station District Specific Plan adopted on October 25, 2022 (by Resolution No. 6077-22) includes the previously approved amendment as Appendix B.
Zoning Designation
The zoning designation of Station East Mixed Use Residential (SEMU-R) was created by Ordinance No. 884-21 (AT-20-001) and applied to the subject property by Ordinance No. 885-21 (A-20-001), both adopted on June 22, 2021. The SEMU-R regulations were amended as part of the adoption of the Station District Specific Plan by Ordinance 903-22 (AT-22-005) and amended again by Ordinance 917-23 as part of the City’s adoption of objective design standards. The SEMU-R regulations are contained in Chapter 18.37 of Title 18, Zoning. It is noted, however, that the Development Agreement includes the SEMU-R regulations adopted by Ordinance No. 886-21 as part of the “Existing Approvals” that govern the project.
Development Agreement
A Development Agreement with The Station East Owner, LLC for the Station East Project (DA-20-001) was approved by Ordinance No. 886-21 on June 22, 2021. The Development Agreement provides a vested right to develop the property according to the project approvals including obligations for the Developer to provide specified benefits to the City. The initial term is ten years, with a potential for extension(s) of up to two years. The Development Agreement was amended by Ordinance No. 913-23 in 2023 to: 1) adjust the number of housing units from a maximum of 974 to 894 units and corresponding adjustments to affordable housing requirements and Planning Area unit counts, 2) clarify obligations related to the Master Homeowners Association and Community Facilities District, 3) add a provision to make efforts to capture additional sales/use tax, 4) adjust the provisions under which an Operating Memorandum can permit minor changes, and City Council/RSA Agenda 336 Tuesday, July 23, 2024

5) make updates to exhibits for consistency with the Tentative Map Amendment (ATM23-001).
Station East Tentative Tract Map 8251
Tentative Tract Map 8251 (TTM-20-001) was approved by Resolution No. 5777-21 on June 8, 2021. The Tentative Tract Map will divide the property into parcels that can be developed in phases with different product types. The Planning Areas with for-sale units will also be further subdivided into condominiums. The Tentative Tract Map also includes proposed dedications of land to the City for public purposes such as streets and parks, as well as easements for various purposes.
An amendment to the Tentative Map (ATM-23-001) was approved by Resolution No. 6114-23 on April 25, 2023 to reflect some project updates related to street and park improvements primarily adjacent to PA 9/10 and adjusted lot configuration in PA 2 and PA 4.
The Final Map and improvement plans for the public improvements including streets, utilities, and parks have begun the plan check process. The Development Agreement precludes issuance of any building permits until the subdivision improvements are completed or secured. The applicant for the subdivision, The Station East Owner, LLC, has indicated they intend to process the SDR applications for the various Planning Areas so that building permits can be secured for the Planning Areas when the subdivision improvements are constructed, and the building sites are ready for development.
Prior Approvals
The Tentative Map and Development Agreement include the conceptual development proposals that preceded the site development review applications. The previously proposed development on PA 2 as shown on the approved Tentative Map and referenced in the original Development Agreement included 136 condominium units in two fivestory buildings with partially subterranean parking. A ground level landscaped area separated the two buildings and connected with a similar landscaped area in PA 4 to the south. The amendments to the Development Agreement and Tentative Map in 2023 included a mixed use building with 159 units on PA 2.

Project Proposal
The proposed project as shown in Figure 2 includes development of 28 townhouse style condominiums in three four-story buildings and a five-story mixed use building containing 9,466 square feet of retail area and 47 rental residential units for a total of 75 units. The development of 75 units on 1.89 net acres results in a density of 39.68 units per acre. This results in an average density for the Station East Mixed Use Residential Project of 51.30 units per acre.
Figure 2- Site Plan
The applicant has explained that since the original entitlement was approved in June of 2021, construction costs have increased dramatically and market conditions have changed significantly. The approved product type was particularly impacted by cost increases given the size of the building and subterranean parking required.
The proposed development on PA 2 includes four buildings: a five-story mixed use building containing 9,466 square feet of retail area and 47 rental units fronting on Decoto Road and three four-story residential buildings. The four-story residential buildings are the same design as the buildings approved in PA 4. One residential building fronts on 8th City Council/RSA Agenda 338 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Staff Report, June 27, 2024
ATM-24-001, ADA-24-001, and SD-23-006, PA 2, Page 8
Street and two have frontage on an internal private street with their side elevations facing 9th Street. The buildings are four stories with each unit having a two-car garage that is either a side-by-side or a tandem configuration. Building heights are 61’11” for the mixed use building and 48’ for the condominium buildings. The project would have a total gross floor area of 133,905 square feet, plus 18,282 square feet for the garages. The 28 for-sale units include 14 three-bedroom units and 14 four-bedroom units, ranging in size from 1,544 to 2,460 square feet. The 47 rental units include a mix a studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units as shown in Table 2.
Tentative Map Amendment Proposal
The proposed amendment to the Tentative Map (ATM-24-001) would reconfigure PA 2 to contain four lots (for the four buildings) and common areas instead of the currently approved one lot, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. The tentative map amendment also includes an updated Site Summary Table with the revised unit count in PA 2 and one additional unit in PA 3 for a change in the total units in Station East from 874 to 811. (The one additional unit in PA 3 is within the flexibility allowed by Section 4.2 of the Development Agreement and is included in the Site Summary Table for consistency with the latest plans.)

Development Agreement Amendment Proposal
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement updates the table of permitted uses to reflect the changes in PA 2 related to unit ownership type, building square footage, unit mix, and unit count. The total number of units would change from up to 874 to up to 811 units.
Although an amendment would not be required due to an ownership change, Lennar Homes of California and DRP Solaris Multistate are listed as parties to the Development Agreement pursuant to a sale of a portion of the property to them. Integral sold a portion of the property to Lennar and Lennar sold a portion of the property to DRP Solaris Multistate. Lennar anticipates purchasing the Lennar property back from DRP at a future City Council/RSA Agenda 341 Tuesday, July 23, 2024

date. The amendment to the Development Agreement states that the Development Agreement remains a covenant upon the entire Property pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Development Agreement.
An amendment is proposed to Section 2.4.3 related to offsite improvements to provide some flexibility to the City Engineer determine the timing for completion of some off-site improvements instead of requiring all off-site improvements to be substantially completed prior to the first certificate of occupancy.
An amendment to Section 3.3.2 adjusts the affordable housing requirement to 123 affordable units to correspond with the 811 units proposed.
An amendment to Section 3.3.4.ii clarifies the requirement for affordable units on PA 1 if the development of PA 3 is delayed. With the reduction to 811 units in Station East, the 15% affordable housing requirement can be met on PA 3, which is proposed for 123 affordable units. For context, both sub-sections i and ii of Section 3.3.4 are shown below with the proposed amendment in redline. Pursuant to sub-section i, if PA 3 is not issued a building permit first, sub-section i requires the applicant to deposit into escrow of a fee of $27 per square foot for each market rate condominium at the time of building permit issuance that would be retained by the City if the affordable units on PA 3 are not built.
4. Affordable Housing Compliance in the Event Plan Area 3 Does Not Receive Tax Credits:
i. Plan Area 1. If a building permit for Plan Area 3
has not been issued prior to the issuance of the first building permit for market-rate, forsale housing (each a “MR Condominium”), Developer shall deposit into escrow an amount equal to $27.00 per square foot for each MR Condominium building permit at the time of building permit issuance. Deposits will be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account to be released to Developer with all accrued interest upon receipt by City of a completion guarantee from the Affordable Housing Developer, posting of improvement bonds as required, and issuance of a building permit, and commencement of vertical construction (i.e., pouring cement foundation) of the affordable units in Plan Area 3. In the event either (i) tax credits for Plan Area 3 have not been awarded by December 31, 2025; (ii) after 5 rounds/applications for 4% tax credits and no tax credits having been awarded, whichever period is completed first; or (iii) such later date approved by the City Manager in their sole and absolute discretion, then (a) escrow shall release all Deposits and accrued interest to City, (b) development of Plan Area 3 will be required to comply with City’s affordable housing requirements pursuant to Union City Municipal Code Chapter 18.33 without regard to the provisions of this Agreement, and (c) Developer shall pay to City $27.00 per square foot for each MR Condominium building permit at the time of building permit issuance.

ii. Plan Area 3. If a building permit for Plan Area 3
has not been issued prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for Plan Area 1, Developer shall provide the following affordable 15% of the units in Plan Area 1 as affordable units in accordance with Chapter 18.33, i.e., 30% of Plan Area 1 affordable units shall be provided to households with 30% AMI (Very Low) and 70% of Plan Area 1 affordable units shall be provided to households with 60% AMI (Low), and Developer shall pay an in-lieu fee for any fractional unit. The number of affordable units in Plan Area 1 may be reduced to 12 units to households with 80% AMI upon completion of the affordable units in PA 3.
II. PROJECT ANALYSIS
A. Permit Requirements
Site Development Review is required for development of each of the Planning Areas within the Station East Project.
B. Compliance with Applicable Standards
General Plan
The project as proposed complies with, or exceeds, the relevant development standards of the Station East Mixed Use Residential General Plan designation, as described in Table
3. 1 Multi-family residential density is calculated as provided on p. 91 of General Plan 2040 by dividing the number of dwelling units by the net acreage. Station East Project average includes proposed total 811 units/15.81 net acres =
51.30 units/acre.

Housing Element
Station East is included in the City’s current Housing Element (adopted in May 2023) in the list of approved residential developments with a total of 894 units in various income categories. California’s “No Net Loss” law contained in Government Code Section 65863 requires that a jurisdiction must maintain adequate housing sites to accommodate its remaining unmet Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) by each income category at all times throughout the entire planning period. A jurisdiction may not take any action to reduce a parcel’s residential density unless it makes findings that: 1) the remaining sites identified in its Housing Element sites inventory can accommodate the jurisdiction’s remaining unmet RHNA, or 2) it identifies additional sites so that there is no net loss of residential unit capacity. The purpose of including a buffer of “surplus” units in the sites inventory in the Housing Element is to provide some flexibility in case the unit count for a specific project is reduced. The tables below include the Sites Inventory Summary Table (Table 3-9) from the Housing Element in Table 4, the details of the Approved Projects in Table 5, and the Adjusted Sites Inventory Summary Table Including 811 Units in Station East in Table 6.
Table 3-2 in the Housing Element includes a note explaining the income category assumptions for Station East: “Includes 122 deed-restricted lower- and 24-deed restricted moderate-income units; 392 market rate rental units assumed at 50/50 moderate- and Table 4: Sites Inventory Summary Table from Housing Element (2023-2031) Lower Moderate

above-moderate-income; and 345 market -rate condos/townhomes assumed above moderate-income.”
The assignment of the 811 units to income categories uses the same assumptions of affordability for rental and ownership units but adjusts the number of rental and ownership units as follows: Includes 123 deed restricted lower-income units; 304 market rate rental units assumed at 50/50 moderate- and above-moderate; and 384 market-rate condos/townhomes assumed above moderate-income.

The Adjusted Sites Inventory Summary Table shows an overall surplus of 867 total units, including 184 unit surplus for lower-income, 805 unit surplus for moderate income, but a shortfall of 122 units for above-moderate income. The 805 unit surplus in the moderateincome category is more than sufficient to cover the 122 unit shortfall in the abovemoderate income category. Therefore, Table 6 shows that the sites in the sites inventory have adequate capacity to accommodate the RHNA for the 2023-2031 planning period.
The ”No Net Loss” findings are included in the recommended Project Findings. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council make the “No Net Loss” findings that:
• The reduction in the number of units in Station East is consistent with the City’s adopted general plan, including the Housing Element.
• The sites identified in the Housing Element, including the reduction in the number of units in Station East, are adequate to meet the requirements of Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the RHNA for the 2023-2031 planning period, as shown in Table 6.
Station East Residential / Mixed Use Specific Plan Amendment The Station East Residential / Mixed Use Specific Plan Amendment was adopted on June 8, 2021 by Resolution No. 5776-21 as an amendment to the DIPSA Specific Plan and has been adopted on October 25, 2022 as an Appendix to the Station District Specific Plan that has replaced the DIPSA Specific Plan. Many of the development standards contained in the Specific Plan Amendment are also contained in the SEMU-R zoning regulations.

Affordable Housing Requirements
The applicant is complying with Chapter 18.33, Affordable Housing, and the Station East Mixed Use / Residential Project Development Agreement by providing affordable units on PA 3 pursuant to the terms in the Development Agreement.
Circulation and Parking
Vehicular Access. The buildings include entries on the front facades and garages on the rear facades. The primary vehicular access to both the mixed use building and the three residential buildings is a driveway from 8th Street that then splits to provide access to the garages and parking area at the rear of the mixed use building and in the opposite direction, provides a private roadway behind the building fronting on 8th Street, connecting with a roadway in PA 4. An additional private roadway connects this street to 9th Street. The roadways in context with the roadways in PA 4 are shown on Sheet C2.
City Council/RSA Agenda 351 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Staff Report, June 27, 2024
ATM-24-001, ADA-24-001, and SD-23-006, PA 2, Page 21
Parking. Section 18.37.180 of the SEMU-R zoning regulations establishes standards for minimum and maximum off-street parking. This section also includes the following:
“Consistent with Government Code section 65863.2, automobile parking requirements may be waived for a residential, commercial, or other development project if the project is located within one-half mile of public transit, which includes a rail or bus rapid transit station, the intersection of two or more bus routes with service intervals of 15 minutes or less during morning and afternoon commute periods, and any major transit stops included in the applicable regional transportation plan.” Government Code Section 65863.2 states that a public agency shall not impose or enforce any minimum automobile parking requirement on a residential, commercial, or other development project if the project is located within one-half mile of public transit (defined as a major transit stop) unless it makes findings that not enforcing minimum parking requirements would have a substantially negative impact based on a preponderance of evidence. The PA 2 site is within one-half mile of the major transit stop at the Decoto Road / 7th Street intersection and is therefore subject to Government Code Section 65863.2.
The mixed use building provides 36 parking spaces, including 16 garage spaces for the rental units and 20 surface parking spaces. Sheet SP 3 includes a note that additional parking will be provided in the PA 1 parking structure. Section 3.5 of the Development Agreement requires the Developer to provide at least 40 publicly accessible parking spaces in the PA 1 garage.
The for sale units each have a private two-car garage. The 14 Plan 1 units have a tandem two-car garage and the 14 Plan 3 units have a side-by-side two-car garage. Section
18.37.150 of Chapter 18.37, Station East Mixed Use Residential District, includes a note to the off-street parking requirements that “Tandem parking spaces can be substituted for regular parking spaces for up to 10% of the required parking demand.” The percentage of tandem stalls in PA 2 exceeds 10% of the parking stalls in PA 2 but because PA 2 is located within one-half mile of the majortransit stop at Decoto Road/7th Street, it therefore qualifies for the waiver of parking requirements pursuant to Section 18.37.150 and Government Code Section 65863.2. The proposed tandem parking in all of the Station East Mixed Use Residential project would be 13% of all off-street parking.
Flex Zone. Flex Zones in the public rights-of-way are encouraged in the Specific Plan in City Council/RSA Agenda 352 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Staff Report, June 27, 2024
ATM-24-001, ADA-24-001, and SD-23-006, PA 2, Page 22
order to provide a loading area for paratransit vans, rideshare, deliveries and passenger loading. Condition No. 64 is recommended to require one Flex Zone on 8th Street adjacent to the mixed use building adjacent to the building lobby.
Bicycle Parking. Pursuant to Section 18.37.160, bicycle parking shall be provided in an amount equal to 20% of the required automobile parking. For multi-family units with individual private garages, bicycle parking is not required. For the mixed use building, the parking requirement is 96 spaces, although this is waived due to the proximity to a major transit stop (see Sheet SP 3 for parking requirement calculations). The bicycle parking requirement at 20% of 96 spaces would be 19 bicycle parking spaces. If the 16 units in the mixed use building that will have individual private garages are excluded, the bicycle parking requirement at 20% of 80 spaces would be 16 bicycle parking spaces.
For the condominium units, bicycle parking is provided in the individual garages and no additional bicycle parking is required.
In PA 2, the long-term bicycle parking is provided in a bike room with space for 12 bicycles plus two exterior lockers. For short-term bicycle parking, 3 bicycle racks with parking for 6 bicycles and a bike repair station are proposed at the western end of the mixed use building adjacent to 9th Street (see Sheet L1.12). Condition No. 17 requires that parking be provided for a minimum of seven bicycles and that least one bike rack shall be located adjacent to the play area. Condition No. 17 also requires that the bike storage room include facilities for charging electric bikes.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan. A Station East Mixed Use Residential TDM Plan is required prior to recordation of the Final Map. The existing bus stops on the Station East 7th Street frontage providing service to UC Transit Route 4 will be upgraded with a shelter and site furniture as part of the subdivision improvements. In addition, the bus stops at 7th Street and Decoto Road will also be upgraded, providing service to Routes 99, 232, 801, and 4. The PA 2 site includes a relocated bus stop east of 9th Street on Decoto Road. This will be installed as part of the subdivision improvements. Staff does not recommend implementation of any additional TDM measures for PA 2 beyond participation in the Station East TDM Plan (included in Condition No. 6, and installation of the Flex Zone and bicycle racks referenced above.

Planning Commission Staff Report, June 27, 2024
ATM-24-001, ADA-24-001, and SD-23-006, PA 2, Page 23
Pedestrian Access. Accessible pedestrian paths on the public street frontage are provided via the public sidewalks connecting to accessible private pedestrian paths leading to the entries for each of the buildings and the children’s play area. Condition No. 31 requires accessible pathways throughout the development, including where they cross the private streets. Sheet C2 shows how the pedestrian circulation connects with PA 4 to provide continuity and access through PA 4 to the Dog Park/Children’s Play Area that will be located on Parcel A. Pedestrian access from the parking area to the retail storefronts is provided by pedestrian walkways connecting to the sidewalks on 8th Street or 9th Street to access the public retail entrances facing Decoto Road.
C. Architecture
The buildings are designed with a contemporary or “Modern” vocabulary in keeping with the design policies contained in the Station East Residential / Mixed Use Project Specific Plan Amendment. These design policies are intended to build upon the successful designs of Union Flats Apartments and Station Center Apartments.
Mixed Use Building. The mixed use building has three residential floors above the retail storefronts facing Decoto Road and four residential floors above garages at the rear. On the front elevation and the front corners facing 8th and 9th Streets, the retail store fronts are framed with contrasting colored bands in either stucco or light tan colored stone tile to accent the storefronts. A concrete tile accent is provided at the base of the storefronts and columns. The storefronts are also offset slightly from each other to provide a variation in the setback. The end spaces have black metal canopies above the storefronts that wrap around the sides of the building. On the residential floors above, the building wall is recessed with projecting balconies, wing walls, and canopy elements to provide articulation to the building. These are best seen in the perspectives on the Cover Sheet and Sheets A1.31 and A1.32 (see Figures 5 and 6 below). The main wall is stucco in a light grey color with the projections utilizing a mix of fiber cement siding and stucco in white, dark blue, and light grey. Balcony railings are glass in a dark frame. Two vertical bands in a bright mustard color provide accents through the three residential floors.

Figure 6- Decoto Road Perspective Looking West
The rear elevation treatment is similar for the four residential floors above the garages with projecting balcony and canopy elements and two vertical color accent bands. The ground floor contains individual garage doors to the 16 garages and trash room.
The side elevations facing 8th Street and 9th Street include art walls composed of horizontally ribbed metal siding facing 8th Street (see Figure 7, also Sheet A1.22 and City Council/RSA Agenda 355 Tuesday, July 23, 2024

vertically corrugated metal siding facing 9th Street (see Figure 8 below, also Sheet A1.21; examples are provided on Sheet A1.41). The art walls are 61’11” tall, extending approximately 4’ above the top of the 58’ parapet. The art wall facing 8th Street is 33’11” wide and the art wall facing 9th Street is 22’7” wide and wraps 8’ around the side facing Decoto Road. The painted design on the art walls is abstract using colors complementary to the building palette.
The balconies at the southwest corner of the building facing 9th Street extend at an angle, anchored by an approximately 6’ wide vertical element faced in fiber cement siding that extends from the roof to the ground.

Figure 8- Side Elevation Facing 9th Street
Condominium Buildings. The three (3) 4-story buildings include one building of twelve units and two buildings of 8 units. The design of the buildings is the same design approved for PA 4. The buildings contain equal numbers of “Plan 1” and “Plan 3” units.
All units are three bedrooms/three bathrooms. Plan 1 units include a ground level entry on the front façade with a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and the remainder of the living area on the second floor. Plan 3 units have a raised entry on the front façade with the living area on the third and fourth floors. Each unit has a two-car garage. Plan 1 garages have two stalls in a tandem configuration. Plan 3 garages have two stalls in a side-by-side configuration. (See additional discussion of tandem parking in the Parking section above.)
The front façade utilizes block forms of varying heights, setbacks, materials, and colors to provide interest. The building module containing the entries to both the Plan 1 and Plan 3 units is recessed about eight feet from the face of the building with a ground floor entry patio for Plan 1 and a raised stoop for Plan 3, with balconies above the entry patio on the second and third levels. These three-story modules containing the building entries are framed in dark grey stucco with brown fiber cement lap siding on the walls. The fourth level is white stucco with two vertical windows. Dark grey metal railings are used as balcony and stair railings. A tight mesh perforated metal screen is used to separate the Plan 1 entry patio from the Plan 3 stairs and stoop.
City Council/RSA Agenda 357 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Staff Report, June 27, 2024
ATM-24-001, ADA-24-001, and SD-23-006, PA 2, Page 27
Between the building entries, the building façade on the first two levels consists of tan stone veneer with two bays of windows. Below the windows, tan fiber cement panels are used. On the third and fourth levels two large window bays are framed in dark taupe stucco. Tan fiber cement lap siding is used as a horizontal separation between the third and fourth floor windows. This module is slightly forward of the remainder of the white fourth level façade and parapet.
The rear elevation includes single and double garage doors at the ground level framed in dark sage stucco, cantilevered window bays framed in dark grey stucco above the double garage doors on the second and third levels alternating with dark sage building walls at the second level and alternating with white and dark grey stucco facades at the third and fourth levels.
The end elevations facing 9th Street have incorporated the stucco veneer and lap siding from the front elevation to provide framed modules with more visual interest. The end elevations facing the interior of the site have more white stucco façade.
Table 8 includes the architectural development standards from the Specific Plan Amendment and Chapter 18.37, SEMU-R. The Development Agreement limits what new City laws may be applied. Table 8 uses the provisions of Chapter 18.37 as were adopted by Ordinance 884-21 and referenced as part of the “Existing Approvals” in the Development Agreement.

The Overall Site Plan (Sheet L0.0.00 and shown below in Figure 9) and Landscape Construction Plans (Sheets L.1.11-14) show the layout of the pedestrian treatment along Decoto Road, walkways, play area, and planting areas in context with the adjoining portion of PA 4.
Figure 9- Landscape Overall Site Plan
Decoto Road Frontage. Along Decoto Road, the subdivision improvement plans include replacing the curb and gutter in the same location and a new 9’ sidewalk to the edge of the existing right-of-way. This is consistent with the layout of Decoto Road included in the Station District Specific Plan (Figure 10).

Figure 10- Decoto Road Section from Station District Specific Plan Within the 20’ setback between the building and the edge of the right-of-way, a planter with seatwalls and trellises is proposed to create a more buffered pedestrian area adjacent to the building that includes outdoor seating. The planters and seatwalls jog in and out to create seating areas with a minimum walkway width adjacent to the building of 10’.
Two trellises cantilever over the two outdoor seating areas. The layout is most easily seen on the Fence & Wall Schedule, Sheet L0.04 (see Figure 11 below). The plans also include an approximately 3’ wide planting strip including a perforated metal screen approximately 2’ tall behind the curb, narrowing the sidewalk to approximately 5’, as shown in Figure 12 (Section 1 below from Sheet L0.03).

Figure 13- Proposed Decoto Road Treatment at Bus Stop
Staff is concerned that the narrow planting strip with perforated metal screens along most of the curb will be difficult to maintain over the long term. The applicant has advocated for using the planting strip as a buffer between pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
However, staff notes that the buffered bike lane as shown in the Decoto Road section (Figure 10) will put the edge of the travel lane 9’ from the curb. The planters between the right-of-way and the building need to be sufficiently wide to accommodate trees because trees cannot be planted above the joint trench near the curb. The perspectives on Sheets A1.31, A1.32, L0.01, and L0.02 and sections in Figures 12 and 13 also help visualize these treatments.
Staff recommends Condition No. 16 to have the final improvements plans subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer with coordination by the Economic and Community Development Department.
Children’s Play Area. A play area is proposed in the center of the site between the surface parking and the four-story condominium buildings. The applicant has indicated this would be open to the public and maintained by the homeowners’ association. The play area includes a multi-function climbing structure and rubber half spheres on a synthetic City Council/RSA Agenda 373 Tuesday, July 23, 2024

turf surface. A 42” playground enclosure fence would surround the play area. Staff recommends Condition No. 16 require that playground equipment installation and surface treatment conform to manufacturer’s specifications.
Planting Plans. Conceptual Planting Plans (Sheets L3.11-14) are included illustrating the various planting areas around the perimeter of the buildings as well as proposed trees and a Concept Plant Schedule. The trees include Acacia stenophylla (Shoestring Acacia), Koelreuteria panaiculata (Golden Rain Tree, Lagerstroemia indica x faurie ‘Natches’ (Natchez Crape Myrtle), and Platanus x acerifolia ‘Bloodgood’ (Bloodgood Plane Tree).
The plans illustrate the layering of trees along the street frontages with some trees between the curb and sidewalk included in the subdivision improvements and additional trees between the sidewalk and the buildings that are included with the site development plans. The proposed plant palette for shrubs and groundcover includes a variety of drought tolerant plants. The final planting and irrigation plans will be subject to review by the City’s Consulting Landscape Architect pursuant to Condition No. 13.
E. California Environmental Quality Act
Previously Certified EIR
The proposed project is within the scope of the Station East Residential / Mixed Use Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2020039032) certified on June 8, 2021. The project analyzed in the EIR included 270 units on a combination of PA 2 and PA 4 with 136 condominium units on PA 2. Building heights were a maximum of 66 feet. The buildings included a two-level, partially subterranean parking garage.
In order to conclude that the currently proposed project falls within the scope of the previously certified EIR, the following findings pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162 are required:
The proposed revisions to the project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts previously evaluated in the EIR.
City Council/RSA Agenda 374 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Staff Report, June 27, 2024
ATM-24-001, ADA-24-001, and SD-23-006, PA 2, Page 44
No new information of substantial importance that was not known at the time the EIR was certified has been identified that demonstrates that the project would have one or more significant impacts not discussed in the EIR, or that previously identified significant impacts would be substantially more severe. No new project-related mitigation measures have been identified that would substantially reduce one or more significant impacts of the project, but which the project sponsors decline to adopt. Similarly, no mitigation measure previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant impacts of the project, but which the project sponsors decline to adopt.
The current proposal, at 75 units with a building height of up to 61’11” for the mixed use building and 48 feet for the condominium buildings, is smaller and therefore would result in lesser impacts, as documented in the attached Addendum No. 2 to the EIR (Attachment 1).
F. Public Outreach
A public hearing notice was published on May 22, 2024 and mailed to property owners beyond the 300 feet required by State law. Due to the public interest associated with this project, the notice area was expanded beyond what is required by State law.
G. Conclusion
The project is consistent with applicable General Plan, Specific Plan, and Zoning requirements. The project would also assist the City with meeting its Housing Element needs. The project’s architectural character is consistent with the City’s policies and requirements contained in the Station District Specific Plan, including the Station East Residential/Mixed Use Project Specific Plan Amendment and Chapter 18.37, Station East Mixed Use Residential. The applicant is proposing Site Development Review for PA 2 (SD-23-006), an amendment to the Station East Project Development Agreement (ADA24-001) and Tentative Map (ATM-24-001), with which the project is also consistent.
The proposed project is within the scope of the Station East Residential / Mixed Use Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which determined that all potential impacts could be mitigated to a level of less-than-significant with incorporation of mitigation measures, as documented in the Addendum No. 2 to the EIR.

requirements for long-term operation, monitoring, and maintenance (OMM) of the vapor mitigation systems shall be complied with, including any requirements to secure the cost of such OMM with a financial security instrument such as a performance bond. Any land use covenant required by DTSC to ensure the longterm efficacy of the vapor mitigation systems shall be recorded in property title records by the project sponsor or successor owner. If monitoring or extraction wells remain in place at the time that engineering controls are submitted to DTSC and RWQCB, the placement of such engineering controls shall either not interfere with operation of the well facilities, or DTSC and/or RWQCB shall have approved any required modifications to the well facilities.
Prior to project grading, the project sponsor shall enter into a voluntary oversight agreement (or California Land Reuse and Revitalization Act [CLRRA] agreement) with DTSC and submit for DTSC’s approval a remedial plan for the evaluation and removal of known hazardous substances present in soil. The remedial plan shall specify risk-based screening levels appropriate for future residential use (in the residential areas) and for commercial use (in the commercial areas). The project sponsor shall implement the approved remedial plan under DTSC’s oversight.
Confirmation sampling shall document that all soil exceeding the screening levels has been successfully removed. Prior to commencement of project grading, DTSC shall have issued written concurrence that known soil contamination has been satisfactorily addressed. The project sponsor shall provide a copy of DTSC’s written concurrence to the City.
112. Mitigation Measure NOI-1a: Construction Noise Control Plan. Prior to demolition or grading permit issuance, the project applicant shall submit a noise control plan to reduce construction noise levels such that project construction noise would be in compliance with the City’s Community Noise Ordinance, as determined by a qualified acoustical consultant, for approval by the Economic and Community Development Department. The plan shall require one of the following measures in order to achieve this result:
• Noise producing construction activities shall be restricted to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. during weekdays; 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays; and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.

o No individual piece of equipment shall be permitted to produce a noise level exceeding 83 decibels (dBA) as measured at a distance of 25 feet. This could be achieved in a variety of ways, including but not limited to selecting quieter equipment that generates noise levels of less than 83 dBA Lmax at a distance of 25 feet, or incorporating sound muffling devices on construction equipment;
OR
o The noise levels at any point outside the property plane (for the purposes of this analysis, the “property plane” is assumed to be the boundaries of the project site) of the project shall not exceed 86 dBA. This could be achieved in a variety of ways, including but not limited to ensuring equipment is operating at sufficient distances from the edge of the project site property line, incorporating sound muffling devices on construction equipment, or utilizing temporary noise barriers to reduce construction noise when construction equipment must be in proximity to the edge of the property line (particularly near noise-sensitive land uses).
• All construction equipment shall have appropriate sound muffling devices, which shall be properly maintained and used at all times such equipment is in operation.
• The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the closest off-site sensitive receptors. • The construction contractor shall locate on-site equipment staging areas so as to maximize the distance between construction-related noise sources and the noise-sensitive receptors closest to the project construction areas. • A publicly visible sign shall be posted with the telephone number and contact information for the designated on-site construction manager available to receive and respond to noise complaints. This person shall report all complaints to the City of Union City Public Works Department. 113. Mitigation Measure NOI-1b: Operational Equipment Noise Control Plan. An Operational Equipment Noise Control Plan shall be prepared prior to issuance of the first City-issued building permit for the proposed development for approval by the Building Division. The plan shall include a noise analysis for the project that evaluates HVAC and other stationary mechanical equipment with the potential to City Council/RSA Agenda 408 Tuesday, July 23, 2024

generate noise levels in excess of ambient noise levels by 10 dB on new residential properties and by 12 dB on new commercial properties.
The analysis shall be prepared by persons qualified in acoustical analysis and/or engineering and demonstrate with reasonable certainty that the operational noise sources associated with the project would not result in a noise level that would be in excess of the Community Noise Ordinance. All recommendations from the acoustical analysis necessary for ensuring that noise sources would meet applicable requirements of the noise ordinance and would not result in 10 dB (for sources on residential properties) or 12 dB (for sources on commercial properties) increases in ambient noise levels shall be incorporated into plans submitted for building permit issuance and building operation.
Alameda County Water District (ACWD) Conditions
114. Existing Hazardous Material Contamination: The ability to install a public water system within the Project area would be conditioned upon confirmation that the soil, groundwater, and/or soil gas vapors do not pose a risk to the health and safety of workers either during installation of the public water system or during its longterm routine operation and maintenance. The public water system extension and all appurtenances must be constructed in "clean corridors," which would be assured by either further testing of native soil, groundwater, and/or soil vapors along the proposed public water system alignments or by use of clean imported fill as backfill for all trenches excavated for any part of the public water system.
The use of upgraded materials, including but not limited to all steel pipelines with upgraded gaskets, may be required.
115. The Project shall be designed to implement water efficient plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems, including but not limited to, those listed in the Water Efficiency Measures for New Development, located on the District’s website (http://acwd.org/DocumentCenter/View/421).

126. Applicant and/or property owner shall contact ACWD’s Groundwater Resources Division regarding requirements related to any drilling, deep excavations, existing wells or elevator shaft construction.
127. Elevator Shafts: The installation of elevator shafts that intersect an aquifer or may impact the integrity of any aquitard located directly above an aquifer are regulated as other excavations under ACWD’s Ordinance No. 2010-01. Elevator shafts are frequently installed similar to wells and exploratory holes. If the annular space between the excavation or borehole wall and the shaft is not properly sealed, it can act as a vertical conduit and may create preferential pathways that allow pollutants to rapidly infiltrate the subsurface and impact groundwater. For this reason, ACWD requests the applicant and/or property owners coordinate the design of the elevator shaft with ACWD.
128. Existing Hazardous Material Contamination: The ability to install a public water system within the Project area would be conditioned upon confirmation that the soil, groundwater, and/or soil gas vapors do not pose a risk to the health and safety of workers either during installation of the public water system or during its longterm routine operation and maintenance. The public water system extension and all appurtenances must be constructed in "clean corridors," which would be assured by either further testing of native soil, groundwater, and/or soil vapors along the proposed public water system alignments or by use of clean imported fill as backfill for all trenches excavated for any part of the public water system.
The use of upgraded materials, including but not limited to all steel pipelines with upgraded gaskets, may be required.

1. THE STATION EAST OWNER LLC, SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW (SD23-006), TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AMENDMENT (ATM-24-001), DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT (ADA-24-001):
The Station East Owner LLC, as property owner and applicant, is seeking 1) Site Development Review (SD-23-006) for the development of 75 units including 47 rental units and 9,466 square feet of retail area in a 5-story mixed use building and 28 condominium units in three 4- story buildings on 1.89 acres known as Planning Area 2 (PA 2) within the Station East Mixed Use Residential Development; 2) Tentative Tract Map Amendment (ATM-24-001) to the Station East Tentative Tract Map 8251 (TTM-20-001) approved by Resolution No. 5777-21 on June 8, 2021 and amended by Resolution No. 6114-23 on April 25, 2023 (ATM-23-001) to adjust the layout, number of lots, and number and type of residential units proposed for PA 2; and 3) Development Agreement Amendment (ADA 24-001) to the Station East
Development Agreement (approved by Ordinance No. 886-21 on June 22, 2021 and amended by Ordinance No. 913-23 on May 9, 2023) to reduce the number of residential units from 894 to 811 within the Station East Development and make other adjustments in unit mix, affordable housing, and timing of off-site improvements. The 82,328 square-foot (1.89 acres) project site (APN: 087-0021-005-02, portion) is located between the extensions of 8th Street and 9th Street bordering Decoto Road and east of the PG&E Substation, including a portion of the former Air Liquide site within the Station East Mixed Use Residential (SEMU-R) Zoning District. Staff recommends that the project is within the scope of the Station East Residential Mixed Use Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2020039032) Certified on June 8, 2021, as documented in Addendum #2.
Ms. Campbell introduced Leslie Carmichael, Contract Planner, to the Planning Commission who is contract staff employed by the City and who has been the Project Manager for The Station East project since its inception.
Leslie Carmichael, Contract Planner, provided an extensive PowerPoint presentation on The Station East Owner, LLC, Site Development Review (SD-23-006), Tentative Tract Map Amendment (ATM-24-001) and Development Agreement Amendment (ADA-24-001).
Ms. Carmichael asked the Planning Commission to recommend the City Council approve/adopt the following and adopt resolutions confirming this action:
- Addendum to the Station East Residential / Mixed Use Project; - Development Agreement Amendment, ADA-24-001;
- Tentative Map Amendment, ATM-24-001;
- Site Development Review SD-23-006 for development of PA 2; and - Approve the project subject to the conditions and findings in the June 27, 2024 staff report.
Commissioner Guio thanked staff for the informative presentation. He asked for clarification why the project was changed from the initial proposal to the current proposal as staff described.
City Council/RSA Agenda 421 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Minutes 3 June 27, 2024
Ms. Carmichael explained the project was changed to four lots since there are four buildings and with the condominium development one lot with a common area.
Commissioner Guio asked whether a Homeowners’ Association (HOA) was planned for each building or whether a single HOA was to be considered for the entire complex.
Ms. Carmichael clarified there are two levels of HOAs, a Master HOA and Planning Area HOA.
She expects the three, four-story condominium complexes to be combined with an HOA for Planning Area 4. The Master HOA is responsible for maintaining the areas common to all of projectwith the individual HOAs responsible for a smaller plate of items.
Commissioner Guio asked for more detail about the driver for the sale of a portion of the property and asked if it was due to economics or other issues. He also asked when the project would start and when it was expected to be complete.
Ms. Carmichael suggested the applicant provide clarification on the ownership of the property.
She reported demolition began but asked that the applicant clarify the start and completion periods for the project.
Commissioner Guio referenced the floral walls on the side elevations facing 8th and 9th Streets and asked whether it would be a hard wall, with the parking below or whether the wall was just intended as decoration.
Ms. Carmichael clarified one part of the wall will consist of vertical ribbed metal and the other horizontal ribbed metal.
Commissioner Guio asked whether the floral wall will be considered in-lieu of public art.
Ms. Campbell explained when the project was approved in 2021, the project was conditioned to work with the City on a Public Art Plan. She added whether or not the floral walls will count towards the public art requirement for the project has not been determined.
Commissioner Guio referenced the larger mixed-use building and his understanding was not all residents will have the luxury of a garage.
Ms. Carmichael identified 16 garages and 47 units. Additional parking will be available in the Planning Area 1 garage which will provide 40 public parking spaces as part of the 2021 approval.
Vice Chairperson Mclelland spoke to Sheet SP.1, and the seating area in front of the Mixed-Use building. She clarified her understanding is the seating areas will predominantly be used by people patronizing the retail establishments and restaurants. She asked whether seating will also be provided for the children’s play area.
Ms. Carmichael stated she will have to check whether seating is planned in the middle of Planning Areas 2 and 4 but seating may be possible by the children’s play area. She added there is a large public plaza across from Planning Area 1 and at the other end of the site the dog park and a bit beyond that a large neighborhood park. She further added there is plenty of park space in The Station East project.
Vice Chairperson Mclelland referenced Plan A1.13, and the trash area shown. She asked if residents will share the trash area with the retail establishments and asked if the trash area will be adequate for both residents and the retail establishments.
Ms. Carmichael referenced the powerpoint and identified the corner of the Mixed-Use Building and a trash room with shoots from the residential units that come down from there and stated the City Council/RSA Agenda 422 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Minutes 4 June 27, 2024
retail spaces will have bins in the trash room with a staging area near the parking spaces. Ms.
Carmichael added the condominium spaces will use trash carts to be placed outside of the garages for pickup. Ms. Carmicheal further added staff found the trash area to be adequate.
Vice Chairperson Mclelland referenced Plan A1.31 and the apartments with a balcony area and asked where doors are located since they did not appear on the plans.
Ms. Carmichael stated the plan referenced is a perspective taken from an angle, with the doors on the balconies/decks to be recessed into the building, to project out. She referenced Sheet A1.21 of the elevations which depicted the sliding doors behind the railings of the balconies.
Vice Chairperson Mclelland referenced the floral art wall and mural examples and asked if they will be maintained. She expressed concern that the color will fade over time.
Ms. Campbell explained that for prior projects that had murals proposed on buildings, after the mural was installed the City worked with the developer or owner to ensure maintenance. Ms.
Campbell added that as part of the Site Development Review process, the City collects an in-lieu fee with a certain percentage set aside for maintenance.
Commissioner Gupta Garg understood the intent to follow the layout that was approved for Planning Area 4 but asked about the connections on 8th Street with respect to the Mixed-Use Building. Pursuant to the overall site plan, specifically Plan A2.20, she asked how the linear plaza in front of Decoto Road will relate to Planning Area 1. She asked if that was under review in tandem with the subject review.
Ms. Carmichael stated the frontage treatment will be carried over to both planning areas and it was made clear to the applicant the City expects the same treatment along Planning Area 1 as Planning Area 2. Ms. Carmichael added that Planning Area 1 has a garage entrance a bit farther down 8th Street and beyond that is the large public plaza area.
Commissioner Gupta Garg wanted the developer to be mindful of the scale of public and green space and wanted to see a way to bring back green spaces into the development. As to the internal roads for the condominiums, she asked if they can be designed to be more pedestrian friendly and not only be asphalt. Commissioner Gupta Garg recommended green pavers and other techniques that could be used while still being vehicular friendly.
Ms. Carmichael clarified the Station East’s public streets will have significant landscaping treatment, particularly on 8
th and 9th Streets and other public streets, but not so much on the internal private streets.
Ms. Campbell added the interior streets are 26-feet wide, which are narrow, and are meant to provide access to the units only. Ms. Campbell added that pedestrians would use the paseos and sidewalks where the robust pedestrian facilities are located. Ms. Campbell further added that due to Fire Department concerns with minimum widths on the streets, it limits what can be placed in the area.
Commissioner Gupta Garg also commented the internal street is a dead-end street but the other streets are thoroughfares between Parcels 2 and 4. She asked if the developer could create more of a thoroughfare for the internal street since she could foresee issues with a potential bottleneck.
She provided an example that once the entry on 8th Street to the Parcel 1 garage is open, the intersection may experience more traffic.
Ms. Carmichael responded it was a balancing act with curb cuts interrupting the pedestrian walkway, and they need to be careful with the driveways and other street entrances to avoid being too close to the Decoto Road with vehicles coming and going. She added that the circulation is City Council/RSA Agenda 423 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Minutes 5 June 27, 2024
intended to serve the garages and the surface parking in the back and was found to be adequate in allowing traffic to go in and out the same way. She further added that the through streets are for fire and garbage truck access which is why one of the through streets goes all the way to 9th Street.
Commissioner Gupta Garg understood the project is close to transit and the City could not impose additional parking requirements, but asked if that applies only to the residential development and if parking for the commercial uses are accommodated in the Planning Area 1 parking lot.
Ms. Carmichael clarified the requirement applies to both residential and commercial development.
Commissioner Gupta Garg also spoke to the trash area and asked why the location is near the children’s play area. She asked if the trash bins will be rolled in and out daily and pointed out when commercial trash bins are at capacity, they are difficult to roll out due to the weight. She asked if that issue had been evaluated as part of the operations of the building.
Ms. Carmichael clarified the trash bins will only be rolled out and brought back in during trash day. She added that staff spent a lot of time on the Trash Management Plan for the project and spent time focusing on addressing many of the issues raised including some of the comments during this meeting. She added that the City has a Recycling and Solid Waste Manager who will work closely with Republic Services who provides the services for trash pickup and should the amount of trash and recycling be in excess of what was originally projected that there is opportunity to add additional days for pickup service.
Commissioner Gupta Garg understood the project will reduce the density of the original proposal but the City will still have a surplus in the Housing Element. As future parcels are developed, she asked if the developer would go back to a higher density project.
Ms. Carmichael suggested the applicant provide clarification but understood this change to the project is due to changes in market conditions.
Commissioner Gupta Garg stated she liked the siting and massing of the buildings from an architectural standpoint and found the condominiums and four-story buildings will have a good color palette but she hoped it will not have a blue tone, as it appears in the conceptual drawings, which are not in context with the neighborhood. Commissioner Gupta Garg stated the Mixed-Use residential building which fronts the Decoto Road elevation has cooler tones and appears different from the buildings behind it. She asked the developer to consider warmer tones rather than the colors being presented which may look like two different buildings on the same parcel.
Chairperson Lew understood the City will install a bicycle lane on Decoto Road all the way to Mission Boulevard which will meet a portion of Decoto Road the City of Fremont plans to upgrade.
She also understood there are two bus stops adjacent to the development and asked if the bus would stop in the bicycle lane or whether the bicycle lane would be engineered to go around a stopped bus.
Ms. Carmichael responded she understood there are no plans for a pull-out bay and the bus would stop in the bicycle lane. She further clarified that there is one bus stop located at Plan Area 2 and the other near Shorty Garcia Park across 7th Street.
Farooq Azim, City Engineer, provided feedback that he hoped the bicycle lane would not be occupied when the bus stops. He suggested a bicyclist will either wait for the bus to proceed or go into the travel lane, if safe. He added that the situation is not that different elsewhere throughout the Bay Area, and cities did not necessarily widen the streets to allow for buses to stop. He added bicyclists are used to that situation.
City Council/RSA Agenda 424 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Minutes 6 June 27, 2024
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
Kevin Fryer, Integral Communities, reported Integral Communities is the owner/developer of the property and is working with Lennar Homes and another entity, who is a financial partner of Lennar Homes. Mr. Fryer added that Integral Communities has purchased the property from a previous owner and they have been selling pieces of the project to Lennar Homes as they make their way through the entitlement process. Mr. Fryer further added that Lennar Homes will be the builder for all of the for-sale portions of the project and Lennar Homes is partnering with an outside financial partner, Solaris Group, who serves as a land-bank entity.
Mr. Fryer stated Integral Communities will continue to own the pieces of the property they are discussing as well as Planning Area 1 and portions that are not part of the development to the south of the subject site currently owned by Integral Communities. He explained that Planning Area 2 initially involved large, four-story, for-sale buildings, with subterranean parking and lots of condominium for-sale units with a green belt that ran through them, but the plan was subsequently changed since the buildings are too expensive to build. At the time, it made sense to convert the area to rental buildings since the rental market looked good; however, the market changed again, interest rates increased and the new apartment construction market essentially froze. Mr. Fryer added that who Integral Communities was working with for Planning Areas 1 and 2 dropped out and they were scrambling since that time to figure out what that means.
Mr. Fryer commented that given the market changes and recognizing the terms of the Development Agreement with the City, which ensures the developer will work on Planning Areas 1 and 2, improve and bring utilities to them and ready them. Mr. Fryer stated that there is a partner for the affordable housing component, which continues to be out in front with Planning Area 3 ready to go and is untouched by what they are doing elsewhere on the project site. Mr. Fryer added the standalone affordable units have now become 124 units, the parks are unchanged and the basic layout and concept of the project is unchanged. He further added that the intent is to figure out how to deliver something in Planning Area 2 that brings the retail initially promised onto Decoto Road, along with the massing, density and excitement of Planning Areas 1 and 2 next to each other and get something happening that will continue the momentum of the project.
Mr. Fryer noted that Planning Area 1 will be larger with more units and retail and he is confident he will return with more detail for the Site Development Review for that piece soon. With respect to the overall timing, Mr. Fryer stated that if they can get this piece done, the developer will be ready to start project grading this summer with the grading on the vacant parcel south of the former Air Liquide property to start in July/August, and with the completion of the grading and cleanup work of the former Air Liquide site grading to continue. Mr. Fryer added that horizontal construction will continue for a little over a year and vertical construction will occur shortly thereafter. Mr. Fryer further added that depending on the market conditions, the project will take a few years to complete, and he hoped in the interim the apartment market will improve a bit and interest rates and construction costs will relax. He also provided feedback that Planning Area 1 is a multi-year build and will be overseen by Integral Communities as part of the overall project.
Mr. Fryer responded to the questions from the Planning Commission and clarified while staff reviews everything through the Site Development Review Permit process, the applicant is required to submit a Trash Management Plan and uses an outside third-party consultant, American Trash Management. Mr. Fryer stated that the developer spent a great deal of time on Planning Area 2 to determine the trash area is sized properly, there is a management plan in place to ensure it will be least impactful to future residents and shoppers of the area, and the design addresses Fire Department concerns and access issues. Mr. Fryer added he is confident the Trash Management Plan is well thought out with details. Mr. Fryer stated that the seating in the children’s play area can be part of the improvements within Planning Area 2 and the developer is happy to address and modify the proposed colors with different colors to ensure consistency.
He added that an effort was made to balance creating separate identities between the retail, rental City Council/RSA Agenda 425 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Planning Commission Minutes 7 June 27, 2024
buildings and condominiums and to also integrate 28 of the condos into the immediately adjacent Planning Area 4 and have it feel continuous.
Commissioner Gupta Garg explained that she is an architect, which is why she wants to ensure the buildings appear more like siblings than cousins from two different countries. She asked the developer to consider another pass on the color palette.
Mr. Fryer stated he is willing to adjust the color palette and ensure the relationship between the retail and residential portions of Planning Area 2.
Commissioner Gupta Garg suggested the colors for the condominiums need no change, but the commercial appears too cool of a color tone and asked the developer to consider another pass on the color palette for that element.
Ms. Campbell suggested the issue could be addressed through an amendment to one of the conditions of approval.
Vice Chairperson Mclelland was pleased to learn the trash had been reviewed since initially that was a concern with the residential and commercial areas sharing the same trash area. Vice Chairperson Mclelland stated that as a former Parks and Recreation Commissioner, she is very keen about outdoor spaces, seating areas, and areas of reprieve and does not want a concrete jungle. She added that she wants to see benches here and there and that seating not just be in the children’s play area but also be dotted around the project site, particularly for those who may not have a balcony area.
Mr. Fryer acknowledged the concerns and again identified the location of proposed seating areas and stated he was willing to incorporate language for additional seating opportunities.
Chairperson Lew referenced the use of white stucco on the buildings and stated she was opposed to a lot of white color and suggested that a warmer color tone be considered.
Mr. Fryer stated he can consider a warmer white that felt appropriate and consistent with the other previously approved planning areas around the subject buildings.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Ms. Campbell referenced Page 74 of the staff report, V. Conditions of Approval, Architecture, Building Materials and Finishes, and recommended the following revision to Condition 9 by adding a new sentence at the end of the condition to read:
Minor changes to the color palette may be required to better integrate the rental building with the condominium units.
Ms. Campbell added that staff will take into consideration the comments provided by the Chair related to the white on the buildings that will be reflected in the minutes but it need not be part of the condition.
Ms. Carmichael recommended a revision to Landscaping and Fencing, Condition 16, to add subsection (c) as follows:
Provide outdoor seating throughout the site.
Ms. Campbell also asked when a motion is made that the last bullet shown under the staff recommendation be modified to read:

BACKGROUND
The City Council previously had occasion to consider and provide direction regarding a potential ballot measure amending the BLT on March 28, 2024, April 10, 2024 and June 25, 2024.
March 28, 2024:
At its March 28, 2024 meeting, the City Councilaccepted the Business Tax Analysis Report prepared by HdL Companies. After receiving the report, the City Council provided broad based direction to: shift most business categories to a gross receipts tax structure; simplify and consolidate business license categories; advance with a differential rate modelacross these categories; maintain minimum tax/flat rates; and provide additionalanalysis regarding the implementation or potential phase in of the new tax rates.
The City Councilalso provided staff with direction to proceed with a second phase of community surveying and formed an Ad Hoc Subcommittee to participate in the preparation of the community survey.
April 10, 2024:
At its April 10, 2024 meeting, the City Council provided direction regarding the proposed business license categories, specific tax rates for each of the proposed categories, and the minimum tax rates for each of the categories. Additionally, the City Council provided direction regarding the implementation timeline for the proposed BLT.
That direction is reflected below in the Discussion section.
June 25, 2024:
At its June 25, 2024 meeting, the City Council received the community survey results on the proposed BLT.
The community survey revealed support for a ballot measure amending the BLT. After receiving the report, the City Council provided unanimous direction to proceed with a proposed ballot measure amending the BLT.
DISCUSSION
As directed by the City Council, the City Attorney’s Office has prepared a proposed resolution for placement of a ballot measure amending the BLT (the “BLT Ballot Measure”). Any proposed general tax requires a 2/3 vote of the City Council (or 4 out of 5 Council Members) to vote in favor of placement. Below is a summary of the provisions of the BLT Ballot Measure.
Business License Tax
The BLT Ballot Measure would repealand replace in their entirety Union City Municipal Code Chapters 5.04,
5.08, 5.12, 5.16, 5.20, and 5.24 and include a new Union City Municipal Code Chapter 5.04.
The significant updates to the BLT in the BLT Ballot Measure would consist of:
Shifting business categories (with the exception of Mobile Home Parks) to a gross receipts tax structure; Simplifying and consolidating business license categories; Advancing with a differential rate model across these categories, with specific tax rates set to the City Council/RSA Agenda 499 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
following:
General/Retail – 0.00043;
Professional – 0.0025;
Contractors – 0.002;
Service – 0.002;
Rental – 0.00225;
Industrial - Manufacturing/Wholesaling – 0.00045;
Industrial - Warehousing – 0.001; and
Mobile Home Parks – $45 per pad;
Reducing the existing minimum tax/flat rates (subject to annual CPI adjustments) by 10%; and Providing an implementation date effective April 1, 2024, with no penalties imposed unless a business remains delinquent after October 1, 2024 (six-month grace period).
The business types that fall into each category are included in the BLT Ballot Measure.
In addition to the revisions identified above, the BLT Ballot Measure contains procedural updates to modernize the City’s processes and procedures that have become outdated since the BLT was last updated in 1990.
Ballot Question
The Elections Code requires the ballot measure to be printed in the ballot pamphlet in the form of a “yes or no” ballot question of no more than 75 words. The following is the ballot question included in the proposed resolution:
“Union City Essential Services Protection Measure. To protect essential city services such as 9-1-1 emergency response; street/ pothole repair; crime/ gun violence prevention; fire protection/ paramedics; neighborhood police patrols, and reducing blight/ keeping neighborhoods clean, shall the measure be adopted amending Union City’s business license ordinance, lowering many small businesses' taxes, with rates up to 0.25% of gross receipts (as described in the ordinance) until ended by voters, raising $3,500,000 annually, with public spending disclosure/ independent audits?” Procedural Provisions
The proposed resolution establishes the following election timeline:
1. July 23, 2024: City Council adopts the proposed resolution calling an election and placing the BLT Ballot Measure for voter consideration.
2. August 6, 2024: Direct arguments for or against the BLT Ballot Measure due by 5:00 p.m. (Elections Code Sections 9282, 9286.) City Attorney Impartial Analysis due by 5:00 p.m. (Elections Code Section 9280.)
3. August 15, 2024: Rebuttalarguments due by 5:00 p.m. (Elections Code Section 9285.)
4. November 5, 2024: Election.
If the City Council elects to adopt the proposed resolution calling an election and placing the BLT Ballot Measure, the City Council may designate up to two City Council Members to draft and submit the ballot argument in favor of the measure and to draft the rebuttal argument to any argument against the measure. The proposed resolution also authorizes the City Council to sign the argument and rebuttal.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the voters approve the BLT Ballot Measure, it would generate an additional $3,500,000 annually in general City Council/RSA Agenda 500 Tuesday, July 23, 2024
fund revenue.
The costs of conducting the November 5, 2024 election including placing the BLT Ballot Measure is anticipated to be approximately $245,000, which was included in the FY 2024-2025 Budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
