BACKGROUND

For several years the City, School District, and Emeryville community, through the Education
and Youth Services Advisory Committee and its successor, Partners for Community Life, have
been planning for a new multi-purpose multi-generational facility called the Center of
Community Life. A number of alternative sites and programs have been considered, finally
settling on a new complex to be built on the Secondary School site on San Pablo Avenue
between 47
th
and 53
rd
Streets.

The Emeryville Center of Community Life (ECCL) project is included in the current City of
Emeryville Capital Improvement Program and will address the lack of indoor and outdoor
recreational facilities within the community. The project will allow the City to develop a
permanent facility for Community Services programs, which are currently housed in temporary
July 25, 2013
Page 3

modular buildings, and will allow the Emery Unified School District (EUSD) to build a new pre-
kindergarten through 12
th
grade school campus.

A program plan for the project was developed in 2003. In 2007 the School Board authorized the
issuance of a Request for Proposals for architectural design services for program refinement of
the 2003 program plan, conceptual design schemes and cost estimates for the project. An
architect selection committee was formed to review the proposals and select a finalist. The
committee through consensus chose Field Paoli Architects who were authorized to commence
work in April 2008.

Field Paoli generated four alternative plans which were presented to the City/Schools Committee
and the Partners for Community Life. Upon further review including finance and budget review,
a decision was made regarding a particular scheme that included 180,000 square feet of building
space and retention of the existing gymnasium and swimming pool. This proposal was reviewed
by the Planning Commission at a study session in October 2009. That proposal for a Master Plan
for ECCL was then approved by the City Council, and the School Board hired Nexus Partners to
design and build the project. Nexus Partners orchestrated a series of community meetings that
resulted in conceptual designs that were reviewed by the Planning Commission at study sessions
on April 26, 2012 and November 19, 2012.

PROJECT SITE AND SURROUNDINGS

The 7.7 acre project site located at 4727 San Pablo Avenue and bounded by 53
rd
Street on the
north and 47
th
Street to the south is owned by the Emery Unified School District. As of October
2012, the existing uses on-site were relocated to allow for project construction. In addition to the
Emery Secondary School, other existing uses that were relocated included District
Administration offices, YMCA Headstart Emeryville Marina and the Emery Unified Wellness
Program.

A variety of uses surround the project site. Fifty-Third Street, a two-lane road, lies north of the
site and serves as the Oakland/Emeryville boundary. North of 53rd Street is a residential
neighborhood with single- and multi-family homes. Emery Bay Village, a two-story residential,
112-unit single family and duplex condominium development, is located immediately west of the
project site. Industrial and commercial uses, Interstate 80 (I-80), and the San Francisco Bay are
located farther west. Forty-seventh Street, a two-lane street, is located immediately south of the
project site. The majority of the southern 47th Street frontage is occupied by the AC Transit
Emeryville Division Transportation Building and bus parking lot. Institutional, commercial and
industrial uses are located further south. San Pablo Avenue, a four-lane State highway (State
Highway 123), bounds the eastern property line. Commercial and institutional uses including
Escuela Bilinge Internacional school are located along San Pablo Avenue, and residential uses
in Emeryville and Oakland are located to the east.

PROJECT PROPOSAL

The proposed project includes demolition of the majority of buildings located on the existing site
(Emery Secondary School) and construction of the new Emeryville Center of Community Life
(ECCL), a joint use project by the District and the City. The proposal will co-locate the
elementary and secondary schools and accommodate the Citys adult and youth services
programs. The ECCL would house K-12 students and include several community uses.
Structures would include four new buildings and the existing gymnasium and swimming pool
will be renovated. Building A, a one-story structure at the corner of San Pablo Avenue and 53
rd

Street, would accommodate community multi-purpose space; Building B, a two story structure
located along the San Pablo Avenue frontage, would house the District and the Citys
Community Services offices on the first level and a school-based health clinic on the second
floor; Building C, a three story structure located in the interior of the site to the west of Building
B, would accommodate K-8 classrooms and school multi-use space; Building D, a two story
structure at the corner of San Pablo Avenue and 47
th
Street, will have a library, a caf, and school
science and art laboratory space with classrooms for 9-12 grades on the second level. Building E
would be the renovated gymnasium in the southwest portion of the campus along 47
th
Street.
(Please see Pages A0.03 and A1.01 of attached plans for Rendered Perspective and Site
Plan). The proposal also includes renovation and modification to the existing sport fields,
running track, playgrounds and basketball courts.

The existing outdoor recreation facilities, including swimming pool, would be renovated and
modified. A new Community Commons/K-5 play area would be located between Buildings B,
C, and D, and a new staff parking lot would be located along 47
th
Street between Building D and
E. The site facilities will be used during the day, evening, and weekends with the center expected
to operate daily from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. year around with the highest usage during the school
year (September to J une).

Phasing:

The construction of the ECCL project is proposed in two phases. This application is for Phase I
only and the scope of Phase I is described above. Phase II includes construction of 52,466 square
feet of additional space to accommodate a school gymnasium, a teaching theater and additional
classroom space as well as parking. A starting date for Phase II has not yet been identified.
Subsequent Planning Commission approval will be required before the District can begin work
on Phase II.

Operating Characteristics and Circulation:

The campus will be operated jointly by the Emery Unified School District and the City of
Emeryville. A separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines responsibilities and
precise uses of space will be negotiated between the two entities.

July 25, 2013
Page 5

While it is anticipated that there would be approximately 780 students at the ECCL facility once
it is completed, the Phase I school structures would be built to accommodate a maximum of 900
students and 90 teachers and staff. During school hours (approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
weekdays), public access to the portions of the project site used by the K-12 grade students
would be limited through the use of architectural features such as grade separations, walls,
fencing, gates, building placement and locked doors dependent on classroom loading conditions.

During school hours, the school functions will occur in dedicated areas of the facility where
public access will be restricted. In addition, within the dedicated school area, the design
delineates specific zones for separating elementary, middle and high school age students.
Different buildings will be operated in the following way. Please see the Site Plan on Sheet
A1.01 of the attached plans for building locations and Sheet A0.03 for a birds eye view of the
campus.
(1) Building A (Community Multi-Purpose Room). This one-story structure would be
approximately 5,900 square feet and would be available exclusively for community use at all
times.

(2) Building B (Administrative and Community Services Building). The approximately 13,200-
square-foot administrative building would be located along the San Pablo Avenue frontage, and
would contain District and community services space. This building will include District and
community services offices and conference rooms, as well as a storage room, break room,
health/dental clinic, senior lounge, game room and a family resource center. An overhead
walkway would connect this building to the high school classroom structure, which would also
front on San Pablo Avenue.

(3) Building C (School Multi-Purpose/K-8 Grade Building). The school multi-purpose and K-8
grade classroom space would be housed in an approximately 53,300-square-foot three-story
structure located on the interior of the project site, west of the Community Commons. It is
anticipated that this building would have approximately 22 classrooms, learning centers, a
science center, a music room, and additional support and administrative areas.

(4) Building D (Library/9-12 Grade Classrooms/Science and Art Lab Building). This is a two
story, approximately 26,600 square feet building that would accommodate a caf and school and
community library on the ground floor, fronting on San Pablo Avenue. The square footage of the
library is approximately 5,400 square feet. During non-school operating hours, the public would
have access to the entire library offerings. During school hours (approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m.), it is expected that the public would have access to limited spaces such as the cafe.
However, the public would have access to a variety of library services in a community living
room including public-access computers, mobile collections, casual seating, and small meeting
facilities adjoining the cafe with spill-out seating into the Library Plaza.

July 25, 2013
Page 6

This building would include nine classrooms for students in grades 9 to 12 grade. In addition,
there will be two science lab classrooms and administration space that would total approximately
8,700 square feet.

(5) Building E (Gymnasium). The existing gymnasium currently located on the project site,
which fronts on 47th Street, would remain but would be renovated. Renovations would include
construction of girls and boys locker rooms on the eastern side of the gymnasium, a
dance/aerobics area, and community locker rooms constructed on the western side. In total, this
two-story structure would be approximately 30,740 square feet in size.

Outdoor Sports and Recreation Features. As part of the project, the existing sports field would
be reconfigured and resurfaced with artificial turf. This improvement would allow for the field to
be used for football, soccer, baseball, and other uses. Existing and proposed uses of the sports
field are shown in Tables 4 and 5 of the attached Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration (pages 27-28). Additionally, a track, spectator bleachers, night lighting and public
address (PA) system would be installed. Netting would be installed on the north side of the field
to prevent stray balls from entering 53rd Street. One full basketball court would be located
immediately east of the gymnasium. Elementary school play areas would also be installed on the
project site. Active play areas would be located to the east and west of the K-8 school multi-
purpose room. A learning garden and pre-bell recreation area would be located north of the K-8
Building. A 9-12 grade social space would be located east of the basketball courts.

Attachment 1 shows Site Use diagrams and operational diagrams. It also includes a detailed
breakdown of sharing of facilities by the District, City and third parties under three conditions:
when the school is in session during weekdays, when the school is not in session, and during
weekends.

Circulation and Parking

Two student drop-off zones would be provided on the project site: K-8 grade drop-off and
passenger loading would be provided along the entire length of the school site on 53rd Street.
Parking would be allowed in this space during non-drop-off/pick-up hours. A raised-turnaround
island would be installed mid-block on 53rd Street to facilitate cars turning around to access the
school drop-off zone. A 9-12 grade drop-off area would be provided on 47th Street. Parking on
47th Street would be restriped to provide 90-degree pull-in parking. Approximately 65 on-street
parking spaces would be provided on 47th Street. A parking lot would be located on the south
side of the project site. This lot would include approximately 28 parking spaces. (See Sheets
A1.01 and C3.0)

In addition to two school entries, there will be three for public use: two along San Pablo Avenue
providing access to the Community Multi-Purpose Room (Building A) and to the library/caf
area (Building D) and one along 47
th
Street where residents would be able to access the
swimming pool and the gymnasium. (See Attachment 1, Site Use Diagram).

Design and Landscaping:

As Sheet A1.01 shows the building massing is concentrated along the 47
th
and San Pablo
frontages and an open space configuration is maintained along 53rd Street and the boundary with
Emery Bay Village similar to the currently existing conditions. With the exception of the
gymnasium and the swimming pool, all existing buildings will be demolished. Four new
buildings (Buildings A, B, C, D) encircle a Community Commons area that is envisioned to be
open to the community during non-school hours. This courtyard space, which will include both
turf and hardscape, will provide an outside gathering place and will serve as the focal point of the
project.

A student terrace is provided on the north side of the high school classrooms on the second floor
of the high school building. This space will be approximately 9,000 square feet and will provide
a student gathering place securely separated from the K-5 play area in the Community Commons
below. Elevated walkways will be incorporated into the project to facilitate movement between
buildings. Elevated walkways would be located between the administrative and Library
buildings. (See Sheets A0.08 and A0.09 for renderings of the Community Commons).

New landscaping would be installed along 47th and 53rd Streets and throughout the interior of
the project site. Landscaping would include trees, shrubs, as well as turf areas. (See Sheets L2.00
and L2.01). There are currently 14 trees on the project site; 6 redwood trees in the northwest and
northeast corners of the project site would be retained and all other trees would be removed. The
landscape of the project, both hardscape and softscape, will be connected to the academic and
recreational-sports program and specific age-user groups. The athletic field comprises the
majority of the sites open space and will be a multi-use sports field surfaced with artificial turf.

Tree Removal: Twenty existing street trees along 47
th
Street will be removed as part of the
project. (See Sheet L0.02). The project includes 35 new trees including 16 on 53
rd
Street, 7 on
San Pablo Avenue and 12 on 47
th
Street (See Sheet L2.01). Conditions Of Approval require the
applicant to pay the replacement value of trees to be removed in addition to planting of
replacement trees.

Sidewalk Widths: Sidewalks between 8 and 14 feet in width would be provided on 47th Street,
with wider sidewalks adjacent to the drop-off/pick-up area. Sidewalks on San Pablo Avenue
would be increased from approximately 10 feet to 15 feet. On 53rd Street, sidewalks would be
increased from 5 feet to 6 feet, with additional sidewalk width adjacent to the main entrance.

Architecture style: The applicant conducted eight community workshops to solicit design
comments. The community was shown images of architectural styles and patterns and was asked
to vote their preferences. This process is documented at the website: www.emeryvillecenter.org.
The buildings are modern in style using painted plaster as the main building material. Other
materials include wood for canopies and exterior soffits and anodized aluminum shades and
windows and doors. See Sheet A0.02 for color and material board. School entrances on the north
July 25, 2013
Page 8

and south are distinguished with large canopies and public entrances on San Pablo Avenue have
smaller canopy entries. See Sheets A0.03 to A0.08 for rendered perspectives and Sheets A3.01 to
A3.03 for rendered elevations. The prevailing building height along San Pablo Avenue is 30 feet
up to a maximum of 48 feet toward the interior of the site. See Sheet A3.11 for site sections.

CONFORMITY TO GENERAL PLAN

The Emeryville Center of Community Life is an integral part of the General Plan and is
referenced throughout the General Plan. For instance, Guiding Principle #7, entitled A diverse,
balanced, and inclusive community, states in part The General Plan embraces physical, social,
and economic diversity, and strengthens the community with facilities and programs such as the
Center of Community Life

Further, Policy PP-P-17 stipulates that The City will support the development of the Emeryville
Center of Community Life.

The Land Use Diagram classifies the ECCL site for Public use, which is described as: A
variety of public and quasi-public uses, including government offices; fire and police facilities;
schools; community services; transit stations and ancillary facilities. The ECCL Project is
consistent with this description.

The Parks, Open Space and Public Services diagram (Figure 4-1) designates the ECCL site for
School District J oint Use and Public Facility, and specifically labels it ECCL & Emery
Secondary School.

Other General Plan goals (G) and policies (P) that are particularly germane, and with which the
ECCL Project is consistent, include:

PP-G-8 A safe, nurturing and enriching environmentAn environment in which children
and youth can flourish and become contributing members of society. The
foundation of this vision is a strong and active partnership among the City,
School District, and all segments of the community, so that powerful learning
from the earliest years is a citywide experience and responsibility.

PP-G-10 Vibrancy and diversityExpanded arts, cultural and recreation programs that
celebrate a vibrant diverse community.

PP-P-15 A strong relationship and communication between City and Emery Unified School
District will be maintained.

PP-P-16 The City will continue to partner with Emery Unified School District to optimize
the joint-use of school facilities for community use.

July 25, 2013
Page 9

PP-P-18 Student engagement and learning will be facilitated through expanded programs
and activities.

PP-P-19 A diversity of lifestyles, ages, and income-levels will be accommodated through
zoning and community facilities and programming.

PP-P-20 The growing senior citizen community will be supported by providing appropriate
cultural, recreational and assistance programs and services.

In addition, the ECCL Project is consistent with numerous other goals (G) and policies (P) of the
General Plan, including:

LU-G-1 An overall balance of usesEmployment, residential, cultural, destination and
local retailas well as a full range of amenities and services necessary to
support a vibrant community.

T-P-11 Sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of all streets; pedestrian connections
between new and existing development is required.

T-P-15 Walking will be encouraged through building design and ensure that automobile
parking facilities are designed to facilitate convenient pedestrian access within
the parking area and between nearby buildings and adjacent sidewalks. Primary
pedestrian entries to nonresidential buildings should be from the sidewalk, not
from parking facilities.

T-P-24 Safe, secure, and convenient short- and long-term bicycle parking shall be
provided near destinations for all users, including commuters, residents,
shoppers, students, and other bicycle travelers.

T-P-52 Flexible parking standards are encouraged that reflect calculated parking
demand for proposed land uses and that allow for appropriate offsets to reduce
parking demand and encourage walking, bicycling, carpooling, and transit use.

PP-P-7 An east-west greenway located generally along the path of Temescal Creek will
be created. This will include water features to celebrate the creek and
improvements to the riparian corridor, where feasible, while maintaining existing
drainage capabilities.

PP-P-10 Efficient use of open space will be achieved through techniques such as rooftop
play courts and gardens, joint use of sports and recreation facilities at schools,
co-location of parks with child care facilities, and possible use of underground
parking below new plazas and parks.

July 25, 2013
Page 10

PP-P-14 Efforts by Emery Unified School District and childcare service providers to
establish, maintain, and improve educational facilities and services will be
supported. Encourage a range of child care facilities, including family day care
homes, public and private centers, preschool programs, and before and after
school programs.

UD-P-1 The City shall strive to accentuate activity and presence at the street level,
particularly along pedestrian-oriented corridors and in residential areas.

UD-P-2 Parks and open space is required with new development, consistent with Figure
4-1 in the Parks, Open Space, Public Facilities and Services chapter.

UD-P-18 The San Pablo Avenue Urban Design Plan will continue to be used to improve
landscaping, and streetscape design and guide development in the San Pablo
Corridor district.

UD-P-24 The City shall establish Pedestrian Priority Zones in Regional and neighborhood
centers, around schools, parks, and in other locations as indicated in Figure 5-3.
While wider sidewalks, street lighting, bulbed crosswalks, and other pedestrian
amenities should be employed throughout the city, they are prioritized in these
locations.

UD-P-46 Street trees shall be provided on City streets where feasible. Street trees shall be
planted in a row along the curb, between the vehicle roadway and sidewalk,
unless this is physically impossible due to constraints such as underground water
or sewer lines.

UD-P-47 Streetscape landscaping shall follow Bay-Friendly Landscaping guidelines and
serve the dual purpose of treating stormwater runoff and providing shade and
beauty to the urban realm.

UD-P-57 The Emeryville Center of Community Life building program shall be oriented
along 53rd Street to complement and provide access to the greenway and
Temescal Creek.

UD-P-65 Buildings should be designed with ground level windows and building entries
along the street.

UD-P-71 Developments adjacent to neighborhood centers, parks or plazas should create an
integrated and memorable relationship of architecture and open space. Orient
primary building facades and entries to these spaces and maximize visual interest.

July 25, 2013
Page 11

UD-P-72 Public space and plazas for gathering and expanded ground-floor retail activities
are encouraged. These elements enhance the pedestrian realm and provide
opportunities for social interaction.

CSN-P-10 New development is required to incorporate source control, site design, and
storm water treatment to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff.

CSN-P-11 Exterior uses of water for landscaping and other purposes shall be reduced to
minimize or eliminate runoff and water waste.

CSN-P-33 In order to reduce light pollution and use less energy, lighting (including on
streets, recreational facilities, and in parking areas) should be designed to
prevent artificial lighting from illuminating natural resources or adjacent
residential neighborhoods.

CSN-P-44 The City will continue to require development projects to implement on-site
stormwater management measures through the Citys development permit
process.

ST-P-5 The City shall encourage, promote, practice, and where feasible, require Bay-
Friendly landscaping practices as defined in the Bay-Friendly Landscape
Guidelines, Sustainable Practices for Landscape Professionals.

The Project has been designed to comply with these goals and policies.

The subject Proposal represents Phase I of the ECCL Project. Although the Phase I Project does
not include a mid-block pedestrian and bicycle path between 47
th
and 53
rd
Streets, as called for in
the General Plan, there is nothing about the Project that would preclude such a path from being
constructed in the future as part of Phase II. Therefore, the lack of this path, in and of itself, does
not make the Project inconsistent with the General Plan.

The General Plan designation of Neighborhood Centers, Green Streets, and Pedestrian Priority
Zones are implemented through the citywide Emeryville Design Guidelines. To the extent
feasible, the Project complies with these guidelines. Where strict compliance with the guidelines
has not been achieved, the intent of the guidelines has been met. Therefore, the Project is
consistent with the General Plan provisions for Neighborhood Centers, Green Streets, and
Pedestrian Priority Zones. (See further discussion below under Conformity to Design
Guidelines.)

The General Plan also references the San Pablo Avenue Urban Design Plan to improve
landscaping, and streetscape design and guide development in the San Pablo Corridor district.
The Project is consistent with this plan and its design guidelines.

July 25, 2013

CONFORMITY TO PLANNING REGULATIONS

Zoning Districts and Use:

The zoning of the site is the Public (P) base zone with the Neighborhood Retail (NR) overlay
zone along the San Pablo Avenue frontage and the Pedestrian Priority overlay zone along the
47
th
Street, San Pablo Avenue, and 53
rd
Street frontages.

The proposed educational use is classified as Schools, while the community use is classified as
Community Assembly (large). Both uses require a conditional use permit in the Public zone. All
other uses on the site, including the proposed library, health clinic and public recreational
facilities are considered accessory to the principal uses of School and Community Assembly
(large). In order to grant the conditional use permit for the principal uses of School and
Community Assembly (large), the Planning Commission must make the following findings as
required by Section 9-7.505 of the Planning Regulations. Staff believes that these findings can be
made as discussed below and in the attached Resolution:

(a) The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.

See above discussion of General Plan conformity.

(b) The location, size, coverage, density, design and operating characteristics of the proposed
use will be compatible with, and will not adversely affect, the surrounding area, including
neighborhood character, street design and capacity, safety, noise, and lighting.

The location, size, coverage, density, design and operating characteristics of the ECCL
Project are as envisioned in the General Plan, and are compatible with the surrounding
area. As detailed in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, the Project, as
mitigated, will not adversely affect neighborhood character, street design and capacity,
safety, noise, or lighting.

(c) The proposed use is consistent with the capability of the water supply, wastewater
disposal, fire, and police systems to operate adequately and cost effectively.

As detailed in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, the Project, as mitigated,
is consistent with the capability of the water supply, wastewater disposal, fire, and police
systems to operate adequately and cost effectively.

(d) The proposed use at its proposed location will provide a service or facility that will
contribute to the general well-being of the surrounding neighborhood or community.

The Emeryville Center of Community Life will implement a community vision for
collocated school and community facilities that has been planned for the past 10 years.
July 25, 2013
Page 13

As such, it will provide a safe, nurturing and enriching environment in which children
and youth can flourish and become contributing members of society, as well as
recreational, social, cultural and wellness facilities serving community members of all
ages.

(e) The proposed use complies with all applicable standards and requirements of these
Planning Regulations.

The proposed use complies with the Planning Regulations, as further discussed below.

The NR and PP overlay zones do not modify the regulations for the Schools and Community
Assembly (large) uses in the P base zone. Therefore, no additional findings are required by these
overlay zones. The effect of these overlay zones is to invoke the applicable provisions of the
Emeryville Design Guidelines for the Neighborhood Retail Overlay and Neighborhood Centers,
and Pedestrian Priority Zones. (See discussion below under Conformity to Design Guidelines.)

Floor Area Ratio (FAR):

The Floor Area Ratio for the site is 1.2, and can be increased to a bonus FAR of 1.6 with a
conditional use permit and the provision of specified public benefits. The proposed FAR for the
project in Phase I is 0.39 (129,805 square feet of building area/327,000 square feet of site area).
The project therefore meets the permitted FAR allowed by right.

Height:

The site falls within the 30 foot height district that can be increased to a bonus height of 55 feet
with a conditional use permit and the provision of specified public benefits. The proposed
heights of the buildings in the facility vary between 30 feet to a maximum height of 48 feet 6
inches with average building height of 32 feet. The project, therefore, requires a conditional use
permit for the proposed bonus height of 486. Per Section 9-4.204(b)(1), bonus points needed
for the proposed height is 74 points (Bonus Amount/Bonus Increment x 100 or 18.5/25 x 100).

Table 9-4.204(c) lists the public benefits that qualify for bonus points. While the project may
provide some of these public benefits to varying degrees, staff feels that the most applicable
provision is item (19) of the table, the Flexible Public Benefit. This provision allows the
Planning Commission to determine the number of points to grant for the proposed public
benefit for a currently undefined public benefit that is significant and substantially beyond
normal requirements. The project requires bonus points only for height. Staff recommends that
the Planning Commission grant 74 points based on the Flexible Public Benefit, as the project
provides a variety of public benefits including a new city library, a new community multi-
purpose building, Community Commons, a new community wellness center and renovated
gymnasium and swimming facilities. Staff believes that these benefits are unique and significant
enough for the Commission to grant 74 points.

Parking and Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements:

Automobile Parking - Section 9-4.404 outlines parking requirements to reflect the expected peak
parking demands for various uses, and projects are allowed the flexibility to provide 33 percent
less parking than the peak demand and are allowed to provide up to 10 percent more than the
peak demand. Section 9-4.404(a) stipulates that when two or more principal uses are located on
the same lot, the estimated parking demand shall be on the sum of the estimated demand of the
various individual uses computed separately. As noted above, the project includes two principal
uses: School and Community Assembly (large). The estimated parking requirements for these
two uses are set forth below:

a
Parking requirement for school includes all classroom area, teacher/school administrator areas (7,784 sq. ft.) school
assembly areas, including studios (5,400 sq. ft. ) and school district multi-purpose area (6,058 sq. ft), gym (10,500
sq. ft.)
b
Reflects 3,680 square foot community services multi-purpose room.
c
Section 9-4.404 requires excluding the first 1.500 sq. ft. of each use for parking calculation

Other uses such as the proposed library, health clinic and public recreational facilities are
considered accessory to the principal uses of School and Community Assembly, and are not
required to provide off-street parking. Therefore the projects estimated parking demand is 95
spaces; the project is required to provide a minimum of 63 or a maximum of 105 spaces.

The proposal includes 28 on-site parking spaces and therefore requires a Conditional Use Permit
for reduced parking pursuant to Section 9-4.404(g)(1). In order to approve a use permit for
reduced parking the Commission has to make the following findings: (a) that adequate measures
are put in place to reduce parking demand, and (b) that reduction of the required parking spaces
will not result in parking impacts on adjacent uses due to overflow parking.

Staff believes that these findings can be made. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(IS/MND) prepared for the project analyzes the projects actual parking demand by examining
opportunities for shared parking during different times of day and availability of street parking.
The IS/MND recommends a number of measures that have been included as Conditions of
July 25, 2013
Page 15

Approval. These include provision of a Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDM), a
parking management plan, and employee trip reduction program. (See Conditions of Approval
VI. A2-A6, VI.B2, and VI.C1-C.4).

Bicycle Parking The Planning Regulations require 1 short-term and 1 long-term bicycle
parking space for every 10 required automobile parking spaces. These calculate to 6 to 11 long
term bicycle parking spaces and 6 to 11 short term parking spaces. The project provides 98
bicycle parking spaces at five different locations. Short term locations are on 47
th
Street, and in
the Community Plaza. Long-term locations lie within the school campus, one near high school
classrooms and one near K-9 classrooms. Condition of Approval VI.A1 requires provision of an
equal number of short-term and long-term spaces, i.e. 49 spaces for each type.

Bicycle Boulevard Fifty-Third Street is a designated as a bicycle boulevard. The Citys
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan stipulates that bicycle boulevards should meet Level 2 treatments
at a minimum. These include identification and way finding signs, shared lane markings and
directional markings for bicyclists and crossing improvements at major streets that include cross-
walks and median islands. Conditions of Approval IV.A.1 (c and e) call for reconstruction of
curbs at the intersection of 53
rd
Street and San Pablo Avenue, installation of bike boulevard
stencils and signage on 53
rd
Street, and high level cross walks on 53
rd
Street.

Pedestrian Improvements The project Conditions of Approval VI.A.7 require the applicant to
install improvements consistent with the Citys Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. These include
pedestrian push buttons and audible detectors for all crosswalk at the 53
rd
Street and San Pablo
Avenue intersection; and pedestrian countdown heads and audible detectors for each pedestrian
crosswalk at the San Pablo Avenue and 47
th
Street intersection.

Open Space:

Planning Regulations require all new, non-residential projects over 100,000 square feet in floor
area to provide common open space and/or Privately Owned Public Open Space that totals at
least 5 per cent of the gross floor area. This calculates to 6,490 square feet for the project. The
project includes a Community Plaza, a library court and Community Commons that total
about 26,500 square feet. This does not include other outdoor activity areas such as the learning
garden, 9-12 grade social space, or sports fields. Thus, the project easily meets the Planning
Regulations requirements for open space.

Recycling and Trash:

Planning Regulations require an adequate, dedicated storage and collection area that is screened
and easily accessible. The project has designated service enclosure area with a rolling gate near
47
th
Street that provides waste, recycling and compost bins. (See Sheets A1.01 and A1.06).

CONFORMITY TO DESIGN GUIDELINES

General:

The project generally complies with the Citys Design Guidelines by providing the following:
undergrounding utility boxes (Guideline A-8); adequate, Bay-Friendly street landscaping
(Guidelines A-11 to A-15); screening loading areas (Guideline B-4), visually open pedestrian
entries (Guideline B-7), using permeable paving (B-9), locating bicycle parking near entrances
(B-10); siting buildings and plazas with seating that encourage interaction between occupants
and passerbys (Guideline C-2); concealing mechanical equipment (Guideline C-6); a variation in
height and massing (Guideline D-3); a variation in roof levels and use of awnings and canopies
(Guideline E-6); including operable windows and allow natural ventilation (Guideline E-7),
creating a well-defined corner by providing a small plaza on 53
rd
Street and San Pablo Avenue
(Guideline E-10); visible public entrances with overhangs and plazas and creating building
entries with entry plazas (Guidelines E-12 and E-13); using window design and proportions to
add architectural interest (Guideline F-3); devising color palette that reinforces building identity
(Guideline F-13); providing clear, non-reflective glazing (Guideline F-15); public open spaces in
form of a library court, Community Commons and Community Plaza that are located
along the eastern side, are accessible from the street, and provide seating within Bay-Friendly
landscaped area (Guidelines G-18, 20, 22 and 23); and signage that is architectural compatible
with the building design, legible and readily visible (Guidelines H-1, H-3 and H-4).

Area Specific:

The project site falls within the Neighborhood Retail Overlay (San Pablo Avenue frontage),
contains Green Streets (47
th
and 53
rd
Street); and is within the Pedestrian Priority zone (San
Pablo Avenue, 47
th
and 53
rd
Street frontages). The Design Guidelines stipulate that, where more
than one of these designations applies, if there are inconsistencies between them they shall be
prioritized in the following order: (1) Neighborhood Centers, (2) Green Streets, and (3)
Pedestrian Priority. Thus San Pablo Avenue would be subject to the provisions for Neighborhood
Centers and 47
th
and 53
rd
Streets would be subject to the provisions for Green Streets. For
provisions without inconsistencies, all applicable provisions would apply.

Neighborhood Retail Overlay and Neighborhood Centers Design Guidelines The project
complies with Guidelines I-5 and I-7 by providing attractive and well landscaped entries and
settings to the buildings along San Pablo Avenue and designing the ground floor space with
active uses such as a caf, community multi-purpose space and offices that serve the local
community. Guideline I-8 sets a 15 feet minimum sidewalk width (curb to building face) with a
3 foot building entry/public space, an 8 foot pedestrian pathway, and 4-foot landscaping/Street
furniture along the curb. The proposed sidewalk width along San Pablo Avenue is 16 feet 1 inch
from curb to building wall with 3-foot landscaping strips (flow-through planters) along the
building wall, a 7-foot 8-inch pedestrian pathway and a line of existing street trees and street
lighting (5 feet 5 inches including tree grates). (See diagram 5 on Sheet L-3.01.) Between the
July 25, 2013
Page 17

street trees, the pedestrian pathway is 13 feet 1 inch wide from back-of-curb to the flow-through
planters next to the building. Thus, the San Pablo Avenue frontage generally complies with the
Design Guidelines for Neighborhood Centers.

Greenway and Green Street Streets Guidelines Forty-Seventh and Fifty-Third Streets are
green streets and the project complies with Guidelines I-19 and I-21 by providing well-
designed entries for the high school along 47
th
Street and for the K-9 school along 53
rd
Street,
and employing Bay-Friendly trees and landscaping.

Guideline I-23 sets a minimum 15-foot sidewalk corridor that includes a 2-foot building
entry/public space, an 8-foot Pedestrian pathway, and a 5-foot landscaping/street furniture space.
In addition, Guideline I-26 states that Temescal Creek (flowing in a culvert under 53
rd
Street)
should be represented with a creek feature at the surface. The project does not meet these two
guidelines. The Planning Regulations state that when strict compliance with the provisions of
such design guidelines or criteria is not achieved, the applicant must convincingly demonstrate
that the intent of the guidelines is met.

Along 53
rd
Street, the project provides a 9 foot sidewalk corridor (3 foot planting strip and a 6
foot pedestrian pathway) and does not include a creek feature because of site constraints. (See
drawings 1, 2, and 3 on Sheet L-3.01.) A number of options for how to accomplish a faux creek
along 53rd street were explored by the applicant. This included exposing the creek, diverting site
runoff, and diverting street runoff to create the spirit or character of a creek along the sidewalk.
However, early in the design process it was found that exposing the creek was not feasible due to
the extreme impact on usable project site area. Subsequent studies found that diverting site
and/or street runoff were also not feasible due to the limitations of the existing grades and curb
elevations along 53
rd
Street. The existing curb along 53rd Street slopes from east to west at an
approximate slope of 1.7 percent, which results in a 10foot grade differential along the northern
boundary of the site. This is directly adjacent to the sports field which must be held relatively flat
to facilitate its use for school athletics. Consequently, the field is approximately 6feet higher
than the backofsidewalk at the northwest corner of the site. Given this condition, the
landscaped area between the field and the backofsidewalk must be utilized for grade transition.
Adding water collection and pumping stations were also explored to provide an artificial water
flow and creeklike affect. This was also not feasible due to the cost of water collection in a
storage basin, the costs of installing and managing a pump and the concerns for maintaining the
pumping system. In lieu of a faux creek, the following is proposed: the planting of trees and
filtration plants that are native and drought tolerant; bioswales and bioretention that enhance
storm water capture and landscape berms that imply the flow of Temescal Creek along the
sidewalk; no toxic pesticides or inorganic fertilizer are to be used; the supporting soil structure
will be permeable to allow storm water infiltration into the soil and into Temescal Creek; and
shade trees will be planted along 53rd Street to reduce the urban heat island effect and cool the
open spaces for public use.

Along 47
th
Street, for the first 150 feet west of San Pablo Avenue, adjacent to Building D (grades
9-12 classrooms), the sidewalk area is 25.5 feet wide, with a 5-foot planning strip, a 14.5-foot
pedestrian pathway, and a 6-foot building/entry space (flow-through planter), which exceeds the
guidelines for a Green Street. (See drawing 4 on Sheet L-3.01.) Further west along 47
th
Street,
the cross section varies due to the configuration of the on-street parking. The pedestrian pathway
varies from 8 to 15 feet; in no place is it less than the 8 foot width called for by the design
guidelines, but in most locations there is not enough room for the 2-foot building/entry space
and/or planting strip called for in the guidelines. It should be noted that the project architects
have redesigned the 47
th
Street layout by eliminating the four parallel parking spaces at the west
end next to the swimming pool/gym in order to widen the sidewalk to 15 feet. The parking on the
south side of 47
th
Street has been reconfigured to replace this parking, which actually results in
an increase of 11 parking spaces.

Pedestrian Priority Zone Guidelines: The project meets Guidelines I-15 and I-16 by providing
consistent street tree species, employing Bay-Friendly landscaping, curb bulb out intersections,
active ground floor uses such as a caf, library and community multi-purpose space.

Guideline I-15 sets a 12-foot minimum sidewalk width for Pedestrian Priority Zones with an 8-
foot pedestrian pathway and a 4-foot planting strip. However, as noted above, these sidewalk
guidelines are superseded by the guidelines for Green Streets along 47
th
and 53
rd
Street, and by
the guidelines for the Neighborhood Retail Overlay and Neighborhood Centers along San Pablo
Avenue.

Given the site constraints for the ECCL program, staff feels that the project designers have made
a good faith effort to comply with the design guidelines to the greatest extent feasible, and that,
where strict compliance with the provisions of the guidelines have not been achieved, they have
convincingly demonstrated that the intent of the guidelines is met.

STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS

The project is subject to the C.3 requirements of the Citys National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit. The Stormwater plans showing compliance
with C.3 requirements are included as Sheets C1.0-C1.5; C2.0; and C3.0. Condition of Approval
VIII details the stormwater compliance requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for the project by the
Emery Unified School District as lead agency under the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was circulated for public review on J une 11, 2013. The deadline for comments was
J uly 11, 2013.

July 25, 2013
Page 19

Two comment letters were received, one from the City of Emeryville requesting a modification
to Mitigation Measure AES-1 concerning sports field lighting, and one from 27 community
commenters with a total of 28 comments on 18 different topical areas. The comment letters, and
response to comments memoranda prepared by LSA, the environmental consultant, for
consideration by the School Board and Planning Commission, are attached.

The Emery Unified School District Board of Trustees, as the lead agency, certified the IS/MND
on J uly 15, with certain modifications to the mitigation measures as requested by the City and
the Community Commenters. These modifications are summarized in the attached memo from
LSA, and are incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP),
which is attached and incorporated by reference into the Conditions of Approval.

As a responsible agency under CEQA, the City of Emeryville Planning Commission must consider
the environmental documents prepared by the lead agency and reach its own conclusions regarding
the projects compliance with CEQA based on the Planning Commissions independent judgment
and analysis. After considering the entire record, including all of the CEQA documentation and all
public comments and other information received, the Planning Commission finds that the Project
as mitigated by the mitigation measures contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration will not
have a significant effect on the environment, the Commission must adopt the IS/MND prepared by
the School District prior to approving the project.

The IS/MND identified impacts in the following areas that are potentially significant unless
mitigated:

Aesthetics
Air Quality
Biological Resources
Cultural Resources
Geology and Soils
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Hydrology and Water Quality
Noise
Utilities and Service Systems

Mitigation measures to reduce these impacts to less than significant levels are also identified in
the IS/MND. The applicant has reviewed these mitigation measures and agreed to incorporate
them into the project. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, listing all the
mitigation measures as revised by the School Board when they certified the IS/MND, is attached
and incorporated by reference into the Conditions of Approval. The IS/MND has also identified
a number of recommendations under its Transportation section. These recommendations have
been included as Conditions of Approval as well. A resolution certifying the Mitigated Negative
Declaration is attached.

PLANNING COMMISSION STUDY SESSION COMMENTS AND APPLICANT
RESPONSE

The Planning Commission considered this project at a study session on April 26, 2012, followed
by a second study session on November 19, 2012. The staff report for the November 2012 study
session outlined the Commissions comments made at the April 2012 study session followed by
the applicants response.

Outlined below are the comments made by the Commission at the November 2012 study session
followed by a discussion as to whether these have been addressed in the current plans.

(1) The Commission felt the need to improve building treatment at the 53
rd
Street and San
Pablo Avenue corner.

The applicant has revised the building treatment for Building A (Community Multi-Use
Room) by adding glazing on the northern and eastern elevation, using different color painted
plaster and adding metal wall-mounted signage. (See Sheets A0.04, A3.02, and A3.04).

(2) The Commission felt a need for a distinguishing architectural feature that identified the
use of the buildings; a need for wider overhangs; and the need for the San Pablo Avenue
elevation to read as the front of house.

The applicant has refined design details for all the buildings and has differentiated
building use by adding storefront glazing on buildings that will be used by the community,
i.e. library and community multi-use room as well as through wall mounted metal signage.
In addition, the design includes large canopies to mark the school entrances at 47
th
and
53
rd
Streets. The San Pablo Avenue elevation has been improved through the use of color
schemes and more dominant public entrances to the Community Plaza and library
courtyard. (See Sheets A0.05, A3.01, A3.02, and A3.05)

(3) The Commission expressed concern about the adequacy of usable and functional open
space for students.

The open spaces for students have remained unchanged.

(4) The Commission expressed a concern regarding potential conflicts between pedestrians
and vehicular traffic.

The IS/MND prepared for the project analyzed this issue and outlined recommendations
that would address these concerns through measures for managing traffic flow,
pedestrian improvements and a parking management plan . These have been included as
Conditions of Approval VI.A.5 to VI.A.8.

July 25, 2013
Page 21

(5) The Commission felt the need to include a bicycle-pedestrian path along the western
property line identified in the General Plan.

The application is only for Phase I of the project and the bicycle-pedestrian path is not
included as part of the project at this time. However, the design does not preclude the
path from being constructed in the future as part of Phase II of the project.

BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE (BPAC) COMMENTS

The BPAC considered this project first at their J une 3, 2013 meeting. The Subcommittee
postponed the item to their J uly 1 meeting to allow time to conduct a site visit. The site visit
occurred on J une 25. At the J uly 1 meeting, the BPAC considered the issues of bicycle parking,
the pedestrian and bicycle path between 47
th
and 53
rd
Streets, auto parking on 53
rd
Street, and
Green Streets/Pedestrian Priority Zones.

Bicycle Parking: BPAC stated that they wanted to retain their J une 3 vote of requesting 100 long
term bike parking spaces and 22 short term bike parking spaces. If the project were to have only
98 spaces, as was proposed on the plans of J uly 1, BPAC suggested dividing the spaces into 76
long term and 22 short term. BPAC members also commented that bike parking should be
located in highly visible areas, that secured bike parking should be available to students, that
horizontal racks are more user-friendly than vertical racks, and that charging for electric bicycles
should be provided. (The most recent plans now show 124 bike parking spaces, including 24
secure bike parking spaces for the grade K-8 age group, 30 secure bike parking spaces for the
grade 9-12 age group, 10 secure bike lockers for faculty and staff, and 60 short-term spaces in
bike racks at both the community entry areas off of San Pablo, in front of the 9-12 school entry
and at the gym.)

Pedestrian and Bicycle Path: BPAC voted that the track and pool deck should be built in Phase I
to accommodate the path, preferably at 12 feet wide, with a minimum of 8 feet wide. They also
stated that they would like input from the California Athletic Association as to whether a
changed track size and configuration would be regulation and/or would allow times recorded
there to count.

Auto Parking on 53
rd
Street: BPAC members commented that parking along 53
rd
should be
removed to allow for a wider sidewalk so children can more easily walk to school.

Green Streets/Pedestrian Priority Zones: BPAC members commented that 53
rd
Street should be
a proper Green Street and Pedestrian Priority Zone.

It was also noted that the ECCL team had provided late notice on the absence of the path, and
that it should have come to BPAC earlier to work with the committee. Further, it was noted that
July 25, 2013
Page 22

funding for the path in Phase II would be uncertain since the City has no financial obligations for
Phase II, and the School District will need additional access to Measure J funds.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The applicant has conducted 13 public workshops to solicit community input regarding
programming and design. In addition, they have created a website (www.emeryvillecenter.org)
that provides all the workshop presentations and other information materials.

STAFF COMMENTS

The project was reviewed at the March 14, 2012 and October 31, 2012 Development
Coordinating Committee (DCC) meetings. Comments made were included in the November
2012 study session staff report. DCC reviewed the project again at the J une 12, 2013 meeting to
identify Conditions of Approval for the project. These are attached to the staff report.

RECOMMENDATION

After hearing a presentation from the applicant and receiving public testimony, Staff
recommends that the Planning Commission certify the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration, and then approve the project subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.

Emery Unified School District
Attn: Roy Miller, District Architect
4727 San Pablo Ave.

Mr. Miller,

Per your request, we have prepared the following Tree Inventory Report and Tree
Inventory Plan for the proposed site improvements at the Emeryville Center for
Community Life property located at 1100 47
th
Avenue in Emeryville, California.
Per the current Site Plan, Sheet 1.11, dated October 16, 2012, a number of existing
trees, namely street trees along the northern edge of 47
th
Street, and a few interior trees
will require removal. We have prepared the following report evaluating the health of each
tree on the property and along the streets, potential impacts that may be placed on each
tree, and recommended tree protection measures. Our work included the following:
1. Identification and documentation of all existing trees located on the
existing Emery High School Site (14); and all existing street trees (17
along San Pablo Avenue; 13 along 47
th
Street). Documented trees
measured a minimum of 4 in diameter 4 feet above grade.
2. Numerical identification, tagged on-site and on the Tree Inventory Plan, for
each tree. Trees were tagged on the north side of the trunk between 4
feet to 6 feet above grade where feasible.
3. Approximate dripline locations for each tree.
4. Evaluation of the health and structure of each tree.
5. Preparation of a Tree Inventory Plan.

SITE SUMMARY
The Proposed Site Improvements involves a substantial renovation of the school
grounds. Most of trees located on the campus (14), will require removal. The six existing
redwoods (all rated as good or excellent) are deemed to be preserved. The existing
street trees along San Pablo Avenue may all be preserved. Proposed site
improvements along 47
th
show a realigned curb and gutter, and revised vehicular access
and parking near the center of the street. This would require the removal of three (3)
existing street trees. Additional street trees along 47
th
Street are recommended for
removal due to poor health/structure see tree table below. If removed, these trees
would be replaced with a healthier species (to be reviewed and approved by the City of
Emeryville).
Recommended tree protection guidelines are listed for all trees to remain.
The purpose of this report is to document the existing trees and assess potential impacts
that may be placed on each tree. Per the City of Emeryvilles Urban Forestry Ordinance,
it is unlawful to remove any existing street trees without a valid encroachment permit. As
part of the City submittal, this report and Tree Inventory Plan should be accompanied
with the proposed building plans and site improvements.

Replacement Trees
The removal of existing street trees may require mitigation measures.
Removal of an existing street tree requires a valid encroachment permit. Per the Citys
Ordinance, if a removal permit is granted: (i) the Director shall require the planting of
replacement trees of equal or cumulative diameter of the trees approved for removal; (ii)
if replacement of equal diameter is not feasible, then replacement at the largest
practicable diameter shall be required; and (iii) when the replacement tree cannot match
the diameter to the tree being removed, then the Director shall require replacement
planting of several trees of equal cumulative diameter of the tree(s) being removed, or
payment value fee of any combination thereof, which would equal the value of the tree to
be removed as determined by a certified arborist.
Replacement values shall be addressed on a tree by tree basis. If required, a separate
tree appraisal document may be prepared assessing each trees value per the Guide for
Plant Appraisal, published by the International Society of Arboriculture, 9
th
Edition.

TREE INVENTORY & ASSESSMENT
Our site visit was conducted on October 17, 2012.
All trees located on-site that retain a 4 diameter, or greater, have been numerically
tagged and located on the Tree Inventory Plan. All street trees, regardless of size, have
been tagged and included on the inventory plan. Each tree has been evaluated for
structural integrity and general health. Assessments were based on visual observations.
Diameters (DIA) were measured at 54 above grade.
Documented driplines as shown on the Tree Inventory Plan are approximate.

General Tree Protection and Preservation Guidelines
The objective of the tree protection and preservation guidelines is to provide the
necessary information to ensure the continued health of existing trees within the
proximity of construction and grading activities. Trees selected for preservation
should be structurally sound and healthy so that they may survive any adverse
impacts due to construction activity.

As the project progresses, the following Tree Protection procedures must be
exercised:
1.0 Tree Documentation
1.1 Indicate removal or preservation of all existing trees on an appropriately
sized plan. Trees shall be identified and numbered as tagged on site.
Accurate dripline locations for trees in proximity to proposed site
improvements should be shown on all relevant plans (as shown on the
Tree Inventory Plan). See attached.
2.0 Tree Protection
2.1 The majority of the sensitive root structure of a tree is located within the
top 6 to 12 inches of soil. This leaves them vulnerable to soil compaction,
often due to construction activity, which limits available oxygen leading to
stress and potential demise. This upper region of a tree is known as the
critical root zone.
2.2 In an effort to protect the critical root zone, Tree Protective Fencing shall
be erected. This temporary fencing will designate the Tree Protection
Zone (TPZ). The fencing is a critical component to the preservation of
existing trees.
2.3 Tree Protective Fencing should ideally be placed at the dripline of the
tree to be protected, or beyond. The project retains two different tree
protection scenarios: 1) interior (on-site) trees to be protected; 2) Existing
street trees to remain.
The following Interior Tree Protective Fencing criteria shall be
employed:
2.3.1 All protective fencing shall be located under the direction of the
project arborist. The fencing is to remain in place until the end of
construction activity.
2.3.2 Protective fencing shall be continuous and be comprised of
chainlink fabric mounted to steel posts driven firmly into ground
(not mounted into concrete bases and set at grade). The perimeter
Attachment 2
2 November 2012
INSDEOUT DESIGN
Arborist Services
9
of the fencing should be ideally set at the edge of the dripline. This
area around the tree is considered the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ).
The spacing of the posts shall not exceed 10 feet in distance.
2.3.3 Protective fencing shall be clearly indicated with a laminated sign
reading DO NOT ENTER. The sign shall also indicate that the
project arborist is the only designated individual who may open,
move or modify the location of the protective fencing.
2.3.4 No excavated fill, chemicals, debris or equipment or any other
materials shall be dumped or stored within the TPZ.
2.3.5 Fencing should be a 6-foot high chain link type, secured by metal
posts driven a minimum of 24 into the ground.
2.3.6 A minimum 6 layer of mulch shall be applied to all areas within the
TPZ. The mulch will help alleviate soil compaction and moderate
temperatures. Keep a 6 mulch-free zone around the base of the
tree (do not place mulch against root crown).
2.3.7 The use of hydrated lime or quick lime shall not be permitted within
the vicinity of any existing trees.

Attachment 2
2 November 2012
INSDEOUT DESIGN
Arborist Services
10
The following Street Tree Protective Fencing criteria shall be employed:
2.3.8 Given the proposed construction along both San Pablo Avenue
and 47
th
Street, each street tree deemed to remain shall receive
tree protection measures. Due to the relatively small size of the
majority of these trees with limited canopy development, we
recommend Type III Tree Protective Fencing (per City of Palo Alto
Tree Technical Manual) be erected at each tree. Prior to the
placement of the 2x4s, trunks shall be wrapped in 9 inch
diameter straw wattles to a height of 8 feet to help protect bark.
Secure wattle to root crown wrapping wattle in a spiral motion up
trunk to form a continuous barrier of protection. See photo & detail
located on Tree Inventory Plan.

3.0 Project Coordination
3.1 Prior to the commencement of construction activities, the general
contractor (and/or team) shall meet with the project arborist to review Tree
Protection Measures and the procedures mentioned within this report.
3.2 Beyond on-site supervision of recommended pruning, the project arborist
shall make periodic inspections of the site during the length of construction
to monitor trees and ensure Tree Protection Measures are in place.

Conclusion and Continuing Maintenance
We believe that if the proper Tree Protection Measures and guidelines are
addressed, the existing street trees along San Pablo Avenue and 47
th
Street shall
continue to thrive or remain stable. As the project progresses, the City of Emeryville
may mandate mitigation measures for trees that require removal or those that may be
adversely impacted. Vigilant monitoring is the most effective course of action to
ensure continued health and failure prevention. Once site improvements are
complete, we recommend annual inspections be performed by a qualified arborist.

Proposed Project: The proposed project includes demolition of the majority of buildings
located on the existing site (Emery Secondary School) and construction of the new
Emeryville Center of Community Life (ECCL), a joint use project by the District and the
City of Emeryville. The ECCL would house K-12 students within the District and include
several community uses. Structures would include: community and school multi-purpose
rooms; an administrative and community services building; a library; classroom spaces for
K-12 students; a school gymnasium and a community gymnasium; teaching theater; and
improvements to existing athletic facilities, landscaping, and circulation.

Findings: The Initial Study prepared by the District was undertaken for the purpose of
deciding whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis
of the Initial Study, District staff has concluded that the project will not have a significant
effect on the environment and, therefore, has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
The project site is included on a list of hazardous waste sites compiled pursuant to

A. INTRODUCTION
This Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) has been prepared in accordance with
relevant provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended and
the CEQA Guidelines, as revised. This IS/MND evaluates the environmental effects of the proposed
Emeryville Center of Community Life Project (project) located on District property, to be built as a
collaborative project by a partnership between the City of Emeryville (City) and the Emery Unified
School District (District), and resulting in re-use of the property for both education and community
activities. The project would consolidate classroom facilities for Emeryvilles K-12 student popula-
tion and include: community and school multi-purpose rooms; an administrative and community
services building; a library; classroom spaces for K-12 students; school and community gymnasiums;
a teaching theater; as well as improvements to athletic facilities, landscaping, and circulation.

Maximum enrollment at the school for Phase 1 is 900 students, with approximately 60 students per
grade. Phase 2 would increase enrollment up to 1,120 students (approximately 80-90 students per
grade). The site is bound by San Pablo Avenue to the east, 53
rd
Street to the north, a residential
neighborhood to the west, and 47
th
Street to the south. All significant environmental impacts of the
project would be reduced to a less-than-significant level with implementation of the mitigation
measures outlined in this document.

1. Components of the IS/MND
The IS/MND includes the following components:
A Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and the formal finding made by the District that
the recommended mitigation measures for the project would avoid or mitigate the poten-
tially significant effects identified in the Initial Study to the point where no significant
effect on the environment would occur.
A detailed Project Description.
The CEQA Checklist, which provides standards to evaluate the potential for significant
environmental impacts from the proposed project. This checklist is adapted from the form
provided in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines as last amended on December 30,
2009 (California Natural Resources Agency 2009). The checklist is modified as appropriate
for this project. The project is evaluated in 17 subject categories on the checklist to deter-
mine whether the projects environmental impacts would be significant in any category.
Brief discussions are provided outlining the projects anticipated environmental impacts in
each category and mitigation measures are established to reduce any identified significant
impact to a less-than-significant level.
Appendix materials that provide more detailed information on air quality, cultural resources,
greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and traffic issues as they relate to the proposed project.

2. CEQA Process
Because the proposed project fits into the definition of a project under Public Resources Code
section 21065 requiring discretionary approvals by the District, and because the project could result in
a significant effect on the environment, the project is subject to CEQA review. An Initial Study (IS),
which comprises a portion of this document, was prepared to determine the appropriate environmen-
tal document to satisfy CEQA requirements: an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), a negative
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Declaration (ND), or a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The analysis in this IS supports the
conclusion that, with recommended mitigation measures agreed to by the District and listed in the
MND, the project would not result in significant environmental impacts; therefore, an MND has been
prepared.

This IS/MND will be circulated for 30 days for public and agency review, during which time,
individuals and agencies may submit comments on the adequacy of the environmental review.
Following the public review period, the District Board of Trustees will consider any comments
received on the IS/MND when deciding whether to adopt the MND.

construction. These uses are further described below.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

a. Emery Secondary School. In the 2010-2011 school year, the Emery Secondary School
provided education for children in grades 8 through 12 within the City of Emeryville at the project
site. During the 2010-2011 school year, there were approximately 352 students and approximately 45
teachers and administrative staff. Within the District, regular school hours for grades K-8 are 8:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and for grades 9-12 are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The Emery Secondary School includes 7 buildings, generally constructed in the 1950s and 1960s. A
photo location map is shown in Figure 2, and representative photos of the project site are shown in
Figures 3a, 3b, and 3c.With the exception of the gymnasium, these buildings are single-story structures
of varying construction materials, and are concentrated along the southern and eastern border of the
project site. The Emery Secondary School buildings have 22 classrooms which include a music room,
art room, computer lab, library, cafeteria, and gym. Additionally, the Secondary School includes an
outdoor pool (which is also used as a community pool), athletic fields and a track. A summary of the
existing buildings on the project site is included in Table 1.

b. Emery Unified School District Administrative Buildings. The Districts Administrative
offices were located within three buildings on the project site. These single-story buildings are
adjacent to the Emery Secondary School, and provided office, warehouse, and meeting space for
approximately 15 District Staff.

c. YMCA Headstart Emeryville Marina. Two portable classrooms on the parking lot of the
project site housed the YMCA Head Start Emeryville Marina program which provides 3 to 5 year
olds with comprehensive services designed to foster healthy development. Serving low-income
children and their families in Berkeley, Albany and Emeryville, this comprehensive child develop-
ment program provides health, nutrition, educational, social and emotional services. For the 2012-
2013 school year, there are approximately 48 students and 7 teachers/staff within the program.

d. Emery Unified Wellness Program. A portable classroom on the project site housed the Emery
Unified Wellness Program. This program provides health services for the high school students, and
includes three staff members.

3. Surrounding Land Uses
As shown in Figure 2, a variety of uses surround the project site. Immediately north of the project site
is 53
rd
Street, a two-lane roadway that also serves as the Oakland/Emeryville boundary. North of 53
rd

Street is a residential neighborhood with single- and multi-family homes. Emery Bay Village, a two-
story residential development, is located immediately west of the project site. Industrial and commer-
cial uses, Interstate 80 (I-80), and the San Francisco Bay are located further west. Forty-seventh
Street, a two-lane street, is located immediately south of the project site. The majority of the southern
47
th
Street frontage is occupied by the AC Transit Emeryville Division Transportation Building and
bus parking lot. Institutional, commercial and industrial uses are located further south. San Pablo
Avenue, a four-lane State highway (State Highway 123), provides the eastern boundary of the project
site. Commercial and residential uses are located along San Pablo Avenue, and residential uses and
the City of Oakland are located further to the east.

BACKGROUND
In November 2010, Emeryville residents passed Measure J, a ballot initiative to fund school improve-
ments within the Emery Unified School District. Priorities associated with use of Measure J funds
include:
Building seismically safe schools;
Improving energy-efficiency and lowering utility costs, putting more money into the
classroom;
Bringing classroom technology up to date;
Providing facilities for youth after-school recreational and learning programs;
Updating school science labs; and
Establishing a job-training center for students and the community.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

Funds associated with Measure J will replace aging schools, and will provide facilities that include a
range of services such as adult education, job training, after-school activities, childcare, and health
services. While located on District property, the ECCL project is a collaborative partnership between
the City of Emeryville and the Emery Unified School District.

PROPOSED PROJECT
The following outlines the components of the ECCL project. Figure 1 shows all the existing facilities
on the project site from which students and staff have been relocated to accommodate future
construction associated with this project.

1. Relocation of Existing Students and Staff
To accommodate future construction on the project site, grade 8 students housed at Emery Secondary
School were relocated to Anna Yates Elementary School at 1070 41
st
Street. Relocation of the eighth
grade students resulted in two more teachers and approximately 60 more students at Anna Yates
Elementary School.

Grades 9-12 and the Emery Unified Wellness Program were moved to the vacant Santa Fe Elementary
School, located at 54
th
and Adeline in Oakland, which is part of the Oakland Unified School District
(OUSD). As part of the proposed project, the District rents this facility from OUSD until the planned
occupancy of the new ECCL facilities in the summer of 2015. Approximately 220 students and 30
staff have been relocated to this site.

The District Offices, including the current warehouse facility on the Emery Secondary School site,
moved to the Ralph Hawley School site at 61st and Doyle in Emeryville, which is owned by the
District; approximately 15 District staff members are located at this site as of March 2013.

The Headstart program located at the Emery Secondary School was also relocated to the Ralph
Hawley School site. Approximately 48 students and 7 staff associated with the program have been
relocated, and will remain at the new location after the ECCL is opened.

With the exception of the Headstart Program, all other uses would relocate back to the project site
after completion of construction, anticipated in 2015.

Additionally, as part of the project, K-8
th
grade Emery Unified School District students who are
currently housed at Anna Yates Elementary School would be incorporated into the ECCL. As of
March 2013, the District has not finalized reuse plans for Anna Yates Elementary School after the
ECCL is opened, but the school would be available for community and recreational/educational use
and the property would not be sold.

According to Roy Miller, District Architect, a community task force has been established that will develop
recommendations for the Anna Yates and City Recreation Center sites, and those recommendations will be heard by the City
Council and School Board late in 2013.

2. Demolition of Emery Secondary School
With the exception of the gymnasium, swimming pool, and adjacent locker and support spaces, all
existing permanent buildings on the project site would be demolished and landscaping on the project
site would be selectively removed as part of the project. A tree survey has been undertaken to assess
the condition of the existing trees on the street edges and the site interior, and existing trees will be
preserved if deemed to be in good health and do not conflict with areas of new construction. The three
portable classrooms located in the parking lot and used for the Headstart and Wellness programs are
currently leased and would be returned. Demolition is expected to begin in Summer 2013 and last
approximately 4 months.

3. Construction of ECCL
The construction of the ECCL project is proposed in two phases. Phase 1 is anticipated to begin in
2013, and a starting date for Phase 2 has not yet been identified. A description of the work anticipated
in each phase is described below. A summary of space by building is shown in Table 2 and a
summary of space by use is shown in Table 3. Figure 4 shows development associated with Phase 1
and Figure 5 shows development associated with Phase 2.

a. Phase 1. Construction of Phase 1 of the project is anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2013, and
would include the construction of most of the structures on the project site. As shown in Figure 4, the
majority of the structures would be located on the eastern portion of the project site centered around a
community commons open space area. The components of Phase 1 construction are described below.

Support and circulation area at Phase 2 includes a 21,546-square-foot parking area at Level 1.
Source: Based on project information from MKThink as of June 2013.

Uses located on the project site would include both school and public uses. While it is anticipated that
there would be approximately 780 students at the ECCL facility once it is completed, the Phase 1
school structures would be built to accommodate a maximum of 900 students and 90 teachers/staff.
Phase 2 would increase enrollment capacity to 1,120 (approximately 90 students per grade). During
school hours (approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), public access to the portions of the project site
used by the K-12 grade students would be limited through the use of architectural features such as
grade separations, walls, fencing, gates, building placement and locked doors dependent on classroom
loading conditions and School Board decisions.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

The ECCL will be jointly operated by the City of Emeryville and the District. A Joint Occupancy
Agreement is being prepared to detail the relationship of the two organizations. During school hours,
the school functions will occur in dedicated areas of the facility and are secure from public access.
Also, within the dedicated school area, specific zones are provided for separating elementary, middle
and high school age students. The entire facility has been designed so that it can be managed and
operated in flexible ways for different uses during different times of the day while still maintaining
safety and security for the various user groups. During non-school hours, the site has a number of
security systems in place that will provide controlled access for different public and school uses.

(1) Buildings. The buildings that would be constructed as part of Phase 1 of the project are
described below. Please see Figure 4 for a conceptual site plan. While architectural details of the
buildings have not been finalized, it is anticipated that the buildings will have a modern appearance
using a variety of materials. All buildings will be designed to have common elements and unifying
architectural themes. Conceptual elevations are provided in Figures 6, 7, and 8.

Community Multi-Purpose Room. A community multi-purpose room would be constructed at
the southwest corner of San Pablo Avenue and 53
rd
Street. This one-story structure would be approxi-
mately 5,900 square feet and would be available for community use.

Administrative and Community Services Building. The approximately 13,200-square-foot
administrative building would be located along the San Pablo Avenue frontage, and would contain
District and community services space. This building will include District and community services
offices and conference rooms, as well as a storage room, break room, health/dental clinic, senior
lounge, game room and a family resource center. An overhead walkway would connect this building
to the high school classroom structure, which would also front on San Pablo Avenue.

Community and Student Library/9-12 Grade Classrooms/Science Lab Building. While
these areas would be distinctly separated by restricted access points and by being on separate floors,
the community library, and 9-12 grade classroom space and science lab spaces would all be contained
within one building totaling approximately 26,600 square feet. These components are further
described below.

Community and Student Library. The library would front on San Pablo Avenue, would be
located on the ground floor of the structure, and would be open to the public during non-school hours
(after 4:00 p.m.). The square footage of the library is approximately 5,400 square feet. During non-
school operating hours, the public would have access to the entire library offerings. During school
hours (approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), it is expected that the public would have access to
limited spaces such as the cafe. However, the public would have access to a variety of library services
in a community living room including public-access computers, mobile collections, casual seating,
small meeting facilities adjoining a cafe with spill-out seating into the Library Plaza.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

9-12 Grade Classrooms. The 9-12 grade classroom space would be located within this building.
This component would include 9
2
classrooms, and would be approximately 6,300 square feet.

Science Labs and Administration Space. This building would also include 2 science lab
classrooms and administration space that would total approximately 8,700 square feet.

School Multi-Purpose/K-8 Grade Building. The school multi-purpose and K-8 grade
classroom space would be housed in an approximately 53,300-square-foot three-story structure
located on the interior of the project site, west of the community commons. It is anticipated this
building would have approximately 22 classrooms, learning centers, a science center, a music room,
and additional support and administrative areas.

Gymnasium. The existing gymnasium currently located on the project site, which fronts on
47
th
Street, would remain but would be renovated. Renovations would include construction of girls
and boys locker rooms on the eastern side of the gymnasium, a dance/aerobics area, and community
locker rooms constructed on the western side. In total, this two-story structure would be approxi-
mately 30,740 square feet in size.

(2) Outdoor Sports and Recreation Features. As part of the project, the existing sports
field would be reconfigured and resurfaced with artificial turf, as shown in Figure 4. This improve-
ment would allow for the field to be used for football, soccer, baseball, and other uses. Existing and
proposed uses of the sports field are shown in Tables 4 and 5. Additionally, a track, spectator
bleachers, night lighting and public address (PA) system would be installed. Netting would be
installed on the north side of the field to prevent stray balls from entering 53
rd
Street. One full
basketball court would be located immediately east of the gymnasium. Elementary school play areas
would also be installed on the project site. Active play areas would be located to the east and west of
the K-8 school multi-purpose room. A learning garden and pre-bell recreation area would be located
north of the K-8 Building. A 9-12 grade social space would be located east of the basketball courts.

The 9 classrooms include art and learning center classrooms.

Lighting. Field lighting is included as part of the proposed projects. The main sports lighting
system would include six 80-foot-tall light poles, each equipped with six 1,500-watt lamp fixtures.
The proposed lamp fixtures are specifically designed to direct light onto the sports field with minimal
glare. Design elements for light beam control on the lamp fixture include factory aiming, back visors
and shielding, reflective die-cast housing around the lamp, shift beam control, a multi-watt system to
allow for various light modes, and appropriate light levels recommended by the Illuminating Engi-
neering Society of North America (IESNA) RP-6 Current Recommended Practice for Sports and
Recreational Area Lighting and compliant with the International Dark Sky Association.
3
The
proposed light fixtures would incorporate all these design elements to better direct the light beam
inwards and towards the ground and reduce spill light and glare. The proposed mounting height of 80
feet would allow for steep downward positioning of the light fixture for better light beam control.
Each light fixture would be shielded by a light hood and 14-inch visor and would be equipped with
1,500-watt Green Generation
lamps. All light fixtures and visors would be colored powder-coated

gray to blend into surroundings and avoid reflective properties during daylight hours. The approxi-
mate location of these poles is shown in Figure 4.

Public Address (PA) System. The PA system will be comprised of two small directional
speakers aimed to the east and mounted on lighting poles. The PA system is anticipated to be used
primarily on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for school sporting events
and Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Soundwall. A 12-foot-high soundwall will be installed along the western boundary of the
property, from 53
rd
Street to the existing wall bordering the outdoor pool facility. The wall will be
constructed of 1.5-inch-thick wood boards attached to wood posts with no gaps. It is expected that the
soundwall will provide a minimum 8 dBA reduction in noise.

(3) Landscaping and Other Exterior Features. New landscaping would be installed along
47
th
and 53
rd
Streets and throughout the interior of the project site. Landscaping would include trees,
shrubs, as well as turf areas. There are currently 14 trees on the project site; 6 redwood trees in the
northwest and northeast corners of the project site would be retained and all other trees would be
removed. The landscape of the project, both hardscape and softscape, will be connected to the
academic and recreational-sports program and specific age-user groups. The athletic field comprises
the majority of the sites open space and will be a multi-use sports field surfaced with artificial turf.

Other open space or landscape areas within the campus will provide an integrated system of
stormwater management: containment, bioretention, filtration and release. Some water-adapted plant
material will be chosen for its biofiltration abilities and will also require supplemental irrigation
during the dry periods.

The overall intent of the campus landscape plan is to provide a durable and easily managed landscape
given the limitation of public school maintenance budgets and funding sources.

The International Dark Sky Association is an educational/environmental 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose
mission is to preserve and protect the nighttime environment through environmentally responsible outdoor lighting.

The new streetscape plantings surrounding the site will meet existing City standards and utilize
existing streetscape plantings where appropriate, and will insert new streetscape trees as required.

All irrigation applications will utilize the proper water application type and be programmed to
maximize efficiency in water application and delivery. Re-use of grey water will be explored as the
project develops.

Several terrace and outdoor spaces are incorporated into the project site. A community commons area
courtyard will be a central feature of the project. This courtyard space, which will include both turf
and hardscape, will provide an outside gathering place and will serve as the focal point of the project.

A student terrace will also be provided on the north side of the high school classrooms on the second
floor of the high school building. This space will be approximately 9,000 square feet and will provide
a student gathering place securely separated from the K-5 play area in the Community Commons
below. Elevated walkways will be incorporated into the project to facilitate movement between
buildings. Elevated walkways would be located between the administrative and Library buildings.

(4) Circulation and Parking. Two student drop-off zones would be provided on the project
site: K-8 grade drop-off and passenger loading would be provided along the entire length of the
school site on 53
rd
Street. Parking would be allowed in this space during non-drop-off/pick-up hours.
A 9-12 grade drop-off area would be provided on 47
th
Street. Parking on 47
th
Street would be re-
striped to provide 90-degree pull-in parking. Approximately 65 on-street parking spaces would be
provided on 47
th
Street.

A parking lot would be located on the south side of the project site. This lot would include approxi-
mately 28 parking spaces.

A raised-turnaround island would be installed mid-block on 53
rd
Street to facilitate cars turning
around to access the school drop-off zone.

(5) Utilities. The project will utilize existing utility connections where feasible. Existing
water, sewer, electrical, gas, and cable television services are available from San Pablo Avenue, 53
rd

Street, and 47
th
Street.

Stormwater runoff from roofs, pavement, concrete and other impervious surfaces will be directed to
bioretention areas, flow through planter boxes and other treatment facilities sized to comply with
stormwater quality requirements of Provision c.3 of the California Regional Water Quality Control
Boards Municipal Regional Permit. After treatment, drainage will be routed through a network of
underground pipes prior to discharge to the existing 15-foot by 11-foot reinforced concrete box
culvert which traverses the northern portion of the site flowing from east to west. Some landscape
areas, considered self-treating will be graded to area drains connecting directly to the underground
system.

b. Phase 2. The timing of Phase 2 of the project will be dependent on the existing student
population as well as availability of the remaining bond funds; as such, no construction start time has
been identified for this phase. As shown in Figure 5, Phase 2 would include construction of a new
school gymnasium, teaching theater, industrial arts studio, teacher and parent collaboration spaces,
and additional classrooms and support spaces. Reallocation of uses within ECCL would occur with
J U N E 2 0 1 3

construction of Phase 2 (as shown in Figure 5). The new structure would be two stories of educational
spaces located above the on-site parking area, as shown in the Phase 1 Conceptual Site Plan (Figure
4). Phase 2 would result in a maximum capacity of 1,120 students, with approximately 90 students
per grade. A conceptual elevation of Phase 2 is provided in Figure 6b.

I. AESTHETICS. Would the project:

a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?

b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a State scenic highway?

c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings?

d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?

a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? (Less-than-Significant Impact )

No scenic views in the vicinity of the project site are explicitly identified in the City of Emeryville
General Plan.
4
Views of the East Bay Hills, natural areas along the shoreline of the San Francisco
Bay, and the San Francisco city skyline and other landmarks adjacent to the Bay are generally
considered scenic views. The General Plan identifies the northeast corner of the project site, located at
53
rd
Street and San Pablo Avenue as a gateway or point of entry into the City.

The project site is located in an urbanized neighborhood within the flat coastal plain that extends
along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay. Because the project site does not contain significant
topographical variation, views from the project site are limited by urban development in the vicinity
of the site. In particular, one- to two-story building along San Pablo Avenue, 53
rd
and 47
th
Streets
constrain views to the east and west.

No views of the San Francisco Bay are available from the site or streets immediately adjacent to the
site. Partial views of the East Bay hills are intermittently available throughout the project site, but
may be obscured by vegetation or buildings depending on the viewpoint location. North/South views
down San Pablo Avenue, adjacent to the project site, extend south towards Oakland and north into
central Emeryville, but do not include scenic vistas.

With the exception of the gymnasium, swimming pool, and adjacent locker and support spaces,
implementation of the proposed project would result in the demolition of all existing one-story
buildings on the project site and replacement of these structures with new buildings ranging from 30
to 48 feet (approximately two to three stories) in height. The proposed buildings would be from one
to two stories taller than other buildings in the vicinity of the project site, but would still allow the
potential for intermittent views of the hills depending on the viewpoint location. The proposed project
would have a less-than-significant impact on a scenic vista.

b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings,
and historic buildings within a State scenic highway? (No Impact)

In Alameda County, segments of I-580 are designated by the State Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) as California Scenic Highways, which requires the protection of the scenic resources
visible from the roadway. There are no State scenic highways within the vicinity of the project site.

The project site is located approximately 2 miles from Interstate 580, and is not visible from this
highway. The City of Emeryvilles General Plan does not designate any scenic roadways. The
proposed project would have no impact on scenic resources associated with a State scenic highway.

c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings?
(Less-than-Significant Impact )

Visual Setting
Existing Visual Character of the Site. The generally level project site gently slopes to the
southwest. The southern and eastern peripheries of the project site are visually characterized by one-
story buildings of varying architectural detail. Three portable classroom structures and a surface
parking lot are located at the northeast corner of the project site. The northwest portion of the project
site is visually characterized by a grass-turf athletics fields and a track, with fencing that runs along
the northern border of the site. The buildings that make up the Emery Secondary school buildings
were generally constructed in the 1950s and 1960s. These rectangular buildings comprise a combined
square footage of approximately 86,227 square feet and include minimal architectural detail and a flat
roofline. Vegetation on the site is comprised of ornamental trees and shrubs. A row of mature
redwood trees is located along the western border of the project site.

Existing Visual Character of Adjacent Area. The visual character within the vicinity of the
site consists of one- to two-story single-family residential buildings along 53
rd
Street, two- to three-
story multi-family residential buildings and one- to two-story commercial buildings along San Pablo
Avenue. Along the southern side of 47
th
Street, opposite the project site, is a brick wall preventing
views into the AC Transit property. Tall mature trees are located along the western border of the
project site. Views in the vicinity of the site are urban in nature, and views of the Berkeley/Oakland
Hills in the distance to the east are intermittently blocked by existing buildings, trees, and other
vegetation on 53
rd
and 47
th
Streets and San Pablo Avenue. Buildings in the area may range in age
from the early 20
th
century to new construction completed within the past ten years. The visual
character of the San Pablo Avenue corridor is one of an urban developed area with structures ranging

in height and differing architectural styles. Roadways in the area are organized on a grid system and
are paralleled by sidewalks and street trees.

Proposed Project
Implementation of the proposed project would change the visual character of the project site through
the demolition of all existing one-story (except the gymnasium, swimming pool, and adjacent locker
and support space) structures and the replacement of these structures with new buildings ranging from
30 to 48 feet (approximately two to three stories) in height. The proposed buildings would be visually
different from the existing structures as they would be taller and include different design elements and
building materials. All new buildings would have a modern appearance using a variety of materials,
including painted plaster (stucco), colored concrete, fiber cement board, aluminum sunshades, and
painted metal canopies. Existing and proposed landscaping features throughout the project site and its
perimeters would assist in providing some screening from surrounding roadways. The change in
visual character at the project site would not be considered a significant environmental impact as it
would not substantially degrade the visual character of the neighborhood.

To further assess the potential visual impact of the proposed project, visual simulations of the
proposed project have been prepared. The District, in consultation with LSA Associates, Inc., selected
five locations from which to prepare visual simulations. Using a digital SLR camera with a wide-
angle 35mm equivalent lens (37-degree view angle), Andrew McNichol photographed the project site
from several representative public viewpoints surrounding the project site. Using computer modeling
and rendering techniques, and design data provided by the architect team, visual simulations were
prepared. The simulations are intended to show building massing, height and bulk as architectural
details have not been finalized. Project landscaping is shown at 7 to 8 years maturity. A description of
the photo simulations are described below, and Figure 9 shows the view point locations for the visual
simulations.

Viewpoint 1 View from San Pablo Avenue/53
rd
Street Intersection Looking Southwest.
The existing view in Figure 10 shows the project site frontage along San Pablo Avenue looking south.
This majority of the San Pablo Avenue project site frontage shows one-story structures along San
Pablo Avenue, which prevent views to the interior of the site. Street trees are shown along the project
frontage. During non-winter months, these trees would provide some screening of the buildings.

The visual simulation from this viewpoint offers a similar visual context to the proposed project. The
majority of project frontage along San Pablo Avenue would include buildings up to the sidewalk. The
proposed project would be two stories in height along San Pablo Avenue, which is higher than
currently exists, but would not be considered unusual given the developed urban nature of this portion
of San Pablo Avenue. This visual simulation also includes a more prominent and open entrance into
the interior of the project site. As shown in the simulation, street trees would be planted as part of the
project.

Viewpoint 2 View from San Pablo Avenue Looking North. The existing view in Figure 11
shows the project site and its context within this section of the San Pablo Avenue corridor. The one-
story school structures are minimally visible from this viewpoint location and are shielded by existing
landscaping and trees on the sidewalk and within the San Pablo Avenue median.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

The visual simulation from this viewpoint shows the new two-story structures along San Pablo
Avenue that would be built as part of the proposed project. As is the case with the existing structures,
the project would be minimally visible from this viewpoint, and intervening landscaping would block
part of the view of the project site. The two-story structures included in the proposed project would
blend with the existing urban nature of the neighborhood.

Viewpoint 3 View from 53
rd
Street Looking West. The existing view in Figure 12 shows
the northeast corner of the project site looking west on 53
rd
Street. This view shows one of the
portable classrooms, as well as views of existing mature trees in the background. Views to the Bay
are not available from this vantage point.

The visual simulation from this viewpoint shows the corner of the Community Multi-Purpose Room.
This structure would be approximately 29 feet high at this location, and would change the existing
view from this vantage point. However, while this new structure would somewhat block existing
views of mature trees in the distance, these views would still be available.

th
Street Looking West. The existing view in Figure 13 shows
the formal main entrance to the Emery Secondary School, as well as the one-story buildings located
on both sides of the entrance. Ornamental landscaping can be seen from this viewpoint, as well as
mature trees in the distance.

The visual simulation from this viewpoint shows the Administrative and Community Services
building that would front on San Pablo Avenue. This building would be a two-story structure, and
would block views of mature landscaping in the background. It should be noted that these visual
simulations are intended to show massing. The final design of the structure will include windows and
other architectural details, instead of the long solid wall shown in the visual simulation. Installation of
street trees would be included as part of the project, as shown in the simulation.

rd
Street Looking East. The existing view in Figure 14 shows
the northern boundary of the project site looking east on 53
rd
Street. From this vantage point, the
chain link fence is the most prominent feature of the project site. Views of mature landscaping, as
well as the Berkeley/Oakland Hills in the distance, are available from this vantage point.

The visual simulation from this viewpoint shows the new development associated with the project.
Multi-story structures, including the Community Multi-Purpose Building, and the K-8 Classroom
Building, are seen in this simulation. An 8 foot 6 inch fence with netting up to 20 feet in height would
also be installed along the edge of the playing field; however views of the Berkeley/Oakland Hills in
the distance would be unchanged from existing views.

The sites existing appearance would be altered by demolition of the existing buildings and construc-
tion of the proposed project. However, the visual changes to the project site that would result from the
proposed project would not be considered adverse, as the coordinated design of the proposed build-
ings and associated features are consistent with this urban area of San Pablo Avenue. Impacts
associated with changes to the visual quality and character of the site and surroundings would be less
than significant.

d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

Currently, the existing sources of nighttime lighting within the vicinity of the project site are typical
of urbanized areas, and include lighting sources such as pole street lights, building lights, vehicle
headlamps, and interior lighting visible through windows. Existing nighttime sources from the project
site include security lighting around buildings.

The proposed project would introduce new sources of light and glare to the project site. New interior
and exterior lighting would be installed throughout the project. New anticipated light sources would
include exterior lighting on campus buildings, along the campus promenade and in courtyards,
modifications to the existing pool deck exterior lighting, and lighting for the campus sports field.

The project includes the reconfiguration of a multi-use sports field and the installation of a field
lighting system located at the northwest portion of the project site. The proposed project would allow
for high school and community sports events to extend beyond dusk and into nighttime hours, for
practices and games in football, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and track, as well as community uses of the
field. All proposed lighting is intended to adequately illuminate the sports field to assure safety for
sports field users. Implementation of the proposed lighting system would change daytime and
nighttime views of the project site. The proposed lamp fixtures and poles would be visible during the
daytime and during their use at nighttime. As shown in Figure 15 under the proposed project, the
main sports lighting system would include six 80-foot tall lighting poles, bordering the multi-use
sports field each equipped with six 1,500-watt lamp fixtures.

The residential neighborhood located along the north side of 53
rd
Street, and the adjacent Emery Bay
Drive residential neighborhood (located immediately west of the project site), would have intermittent
obstructed views of the lamp fixtures and poles as a result of existing and new landscaping along the
northern and western perimeters of the project site.

The proposed light pole locations and the orientation of the light fixtures are designed to minimize
potential spill light beyond the perimeter of the sports field.
6
See Figure 4 which shows the locations of
the light poles. The proposed lamp fixtures are specifically designed to reduce light spill and glare to
the greatest extent with the following key features:
All fixtures are designed with 14" external visors for optimal cut off and glare reduction.
The visors to conform to Dark Sky (IDA) Lighting recommendations;
There would be single rows of fixtures on all poles to avoid lighting from one row
reflecting off another;
All fixtures are aimed at 25 degrees or greater and all fixtures have 14-inch external visors;
A multi-watt system will be used to allow light levels to be run at 1/3 power and to allow a
system with a high/low lighting mode; and
Musco back visors can be installed to further reduce off-site light trespass where specific
neighboring site conditions warrant.

Each light fixture would be shielded by a light hood and 14-inch Musco back visor and would be
equipped with 1,500-watt Green Generation
lamps.
7
Upon installation, the proposed light fixtures and
visors would be adjusted to shield the lamps from view from off-site locations. The ability to precisely
position and focus the fixtures in addition to their shielding design elements would minimize potential
glare impacts to a less-than-significant level.

The proposed lighting fixtures would allow various lighting modes to be programmed depending on
an event. For example, a lower watt power setting could be used to allow for lower light levels during
sports practices, the last hour or half hour of community use, and/or housekeeping/field maintenance.

For a high school facility with a spectator capacity under 5,000, the IESNA recommends an average
light level of 50 horizontal footcandles for football and soccer fields, and 100 and 70 horizontal
footcandles for safe play on a baseballs infield and outfield, respectively. The maximum anticipated
number of spectators at a school varsity-level (regular season, non-playoff) game during night events
is anticipated to remain at 75 spectators and the maximum anticipated number of spectators at a
community sport event is anticipated to be 30 spectators. According to the projects illumination
summary provided in Appendix A and in Table 7, when in use, the proposed lamp fixtures would
generate averages of 30.6 footcandles for the football field, 31.0 footcandles for the soccer field, 20.19
for the track, and 50.2 and 30.5 footcandles for the baseballs infield and outfield, respectively. The
highest light levels (average of 50.2 footcandles) are anticipated during baseball games (infield). While
no District baseball games are anticipated, community youth and adult baseball and softball use of the
field is anticipated. Approximately 52 adult softball events, over the course of a year, are anticipated to
occur between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. While community youth baseball also would occur at the
field, the youth events would not extend beyond 6:00 p.m. The most frequent light use would be
during practices, which could operate under lower lighting conditions.

For school-related lighted events, all football, soccer, lacrosse, track and field, and baseball practices
and/or games are not expected to extend beyond 6:00 p.m. during the fall and spring seasons, as is
currently the case. As previously described, community youth-related lighted events also would not
extend beyond 6:00 p.m. during the fall, spring, and summer seasons, and community adult-related
lighted uses would not extend beyond 10:00 p.m. during the weekdays and weekends, year-round. As

The 14-inch Musco back visors would reduce spillover light levels by approximately 1-2 footcandles over regular
light hoods. A footcandle is a common unit of measurement used to calculate adequate lighting levels of workspaces in
buildings or outdoor space. It is used to describe the light level that a lamp is expected to provide over the long-term. A
horizontal footcandle is the amount of light striking horizontal plane and a vertical footcandle is the amount of light striking
vertical plane.

noted in Table 5, in months with longer daylight, typically during the spring and summer months, the
proposed field lights would be turned on later (at dusk), and the lighted hours of the sports field would
be shorter than the listed time frame.
8

As previously described, the project site is located adjacent to residential neighborhoods north and
west of the project site. The nearest faades of the 53
rd
Street residences are located approximately 70
feet from the sports field; Emery Bay Drive residences are located approximately 30 to 55 feet from
the sports field. The 53
rd
Street residences, north of the project site, would be partially separated from
the sports field by 53
rd
Street and new street landscaping, and the Emery Bay Drive residences, west of
the project site, would be separated from the sports field by existing tall mature trees.

The existing sources of nighttime lighting within the vicinity of the project site are typical of
urbanized areas with residential and commercial uses in the vicinity.

Examples of commonly experienced light levels in other settings are shown below:
Typical neighborhood streetlight: 1 to 5 footcandles
Main road intersection street lighting: 2.5 to 3 footcandles
School non-dedicated or private roadways with high activity: 2 footcandles
School parking areas with high activity: 3.6 footcandles
School building exteriors, near active entrances (pedestrians and vehicles): 5 footcandles
Residential lighting at night: 7 to 10 footcandles
Dusk: approximately 10 footcandles
Gas station canopies: 25 to 30 footcandles

The City of Emeryville recently updated their Planning Regulations and require that all new and
replacement exterior lighting be designed to confine direct lighting to the premises. Spillover light
beyond the property line is not permitted, except onto public thoroughfares; provided that no such
light would cause a hazard to motorists. In addition, the Planning Regulation also requires all exterior
lighting on a nonresidential property be on a time clock or photo-sensor system so as to be turned off
during daylight hours and during any hours when the facility is not in use and the lighting is not
required for security.
9
While the District is a State institution and therefore exempt from local land
use regulations when land use development is used to further its educational mission, the District is
complying with City regulations to the maximum extent feasible in regards to reducing spillover light
as discussed below.

In Emeryville, sunsets generally occur during the following time frames for each season: Fall (September to
November): 7:40 p.m to 4:50 p.m; Winter (December to February): 4:40 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Spring (March to May): 6:00
p.m. to 8:20 p.m.; and Summer (June to August) 8:25 p.m. to 7:40 p.m.

For the purposes of this analysis, the District has selected a very conservative significance threshold
of a maximum spill light of over 2.0 footcandles on adjacent properties. Because most of the existing
nighttime lighting in the vicinity of the site consists of street lighting on an active urban corridor, the
maximum 2.0 footcandle threshold would represent spillover light below main road intersection street
lighting.

To analyze the proposed field lighting, three different lighting scenarios were identified, as described
below:
Scenario A: Competitive Athletic Use (six poles in use)
Scenario B: Recreation and Community Use (four poles in use)
Scenario C: Clean-up Use (minimal lights on)

The goal of having different lighting scenarios is to provide appropriate lighting for activities
currently on the field (for example, competitive lighting does not need to light the field when there is
after game clean up occurring). The project will include a lighting system with a multi-watt 1/3rd
power capability to allow the District to adjust light levels for specific uses. This allows the District
to restrict the amount of light spill to the maximum feasible amount while still allowing safe play on
the sports fields.

As shown in Tables 8 and 9, and Figures 16a, 16b, 17a, and 17b, the illumination summary (see
Appendix A for entire summary) analyzes both maximum vertical and horizontal footcandle values
for spill light lighting conditions onto adjacent properties, both on the properties on the north side of
53
rd
Street, and the adjacent residential development west of the project site. To determine the
average spill light, the spill light footcandle measurement points along each perimeter (both the north
and the west) were averaged. Tables 8 and 9 below indicate that the light levels across the west
property line and along the north curb of 53
rd
Street are below the 2.0 footcandle threshold. Lighting
values for Scenarios B and C are included in Appendix A.

The spill light generated by the proposed light fixtures would be partially shielded by tall mature
trees, located along the western perimeter of the site, and by proposed landscaping to be located in the
northern portion of the project site. As previously described, each light fixture would have a mirror
polished interior and light hood. Additionally, a 14-inch Musco back visor to direct light onto the
sports field to reduce the amount of spill light can be provided at specific locations.

The operation of the proposed light fixtures would be limited to school- and community-related
events throughout the year, typically from dusk until 6:00 p.m. for school-related and community
youth sports events on weekdays only, and from dusk until 10:00 p.m. for community adult sports
events on weekdays and weekends. The proposed field lighting system also includes a multi-watt
system that allows for a power setting and remote lighting control, which will be used to presched-
ule on and off times to ensure that the field lights are turned off at scheduled times. For school-related
and community youth-related lighted events, the proposed field lights would likely be turned on
during months with shorter daylight (typically between November and early March) and would light
the field for no more than 1.5 hours during days with a shorter daylight period. For community adult-
related lighted events, proposed field lights would likely be turned on 1.5 to 2.5 hours after the 6:00
p.m. start time for months with a longer daylight period (typically between April and August), and
would result in less lighted hours of the sports field.

Area-Wide Illumination Summary for Spill Light Under
Scenario A Light Conditions, Horizontal Footcandles
FIGURE 18
J U N E 2 0 1 3

While the proposed project lighting would fall below the maximum 2.0 footcandle threshold
identified by the District at the north curb of 53
rd
Street and across the west property line, the
following mitigation measures would be implemented to further reduce the potential impact to a less-
than-significant level.

Mitigation Measures AES-1: The District shall implement the following measures:
The District will identify three distinct lighting scenarios Scenario A: Competitive
Athletic Use (six poles in use); Scenario B: Recreation and Community Use (four poles in
use); and Scenario C: Clean-up Use (minimal lights on) to allow for field light levels at
the lowest acceptable setting for safety depending on the type of field use. This includes
flexibility of light level settings for practices where the full competitive safety light levels
may not be needed.
The light poles will have an additional 1/3 power reduction switch to further adjust and
reduce lighting to provide the lowest safe lighting levels needed for any event.
Unless a District game is occurring, all lighted use of the field shall conclude at 8:30 p.m.,
with lighting turned off at 9:00 p.m. This 9:00 p.m. ending time coincides with the required
time for end use of the PA system.
Except for District games, no lighting of the field will occur on Saturdays and Sundays
exceeding the Scenario B lighting scheme.

As discussed, the project would include a field lighting system with design elements that would
control the timing of lighting use to prescheduled cut off times and would minimize average light
spill levels during lighted events to nighttime lighting levels similar to the existing nighttime light
conditions in the area. Therefore, the project would be in substantial compliance to the intent of
Ordinance No. 13-001, Section 9-4.705(c) and would not pose a safety hazard or create substantial
spill over or obtrusive light.

II. AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY RESOURCES. In
determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to
the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept.
of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing
impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether
impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to
information compiled by the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the states inventory
of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment
Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment Project; and forest
carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest
Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.
Would the project:

a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,
to a non-agricultural use?

b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract?

c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of,
forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section
12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources
Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland
Production (as defined by Government Code section
51104(g))?

d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest
land to non-forest use?

e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which,
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion
of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of
forest land to non-forest use?

a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland),
as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to a non-agricultural use? (No Impact)

No agricultural resources are located on or near the project site. The project site is classified as
Urban and Built-Up Land by the State Department of Conservation.
11

b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? (No Impact)

The project site is not zoned for agricultural use and is not operated under a Williamson Act contract.

c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section
4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section
51104(g))? (No Impact)

The project site is located in an urban area within the City of Emeryville. The project site would not
meet the definition of forest land (as defined by Public Resources Codes Section 12220 (g)),
timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zone Timberland
Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104(g).

d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? (No Impact)

The project site is located in an urban area within the City of Emeryville, and includes significant
amounts of urban development, impervious surface, and turf. Implementation of the proposed project
would not result in a loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use.

e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could
result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-
forest use? (No Impact)

The project area is located in an urban area that does not include farming or forest use.

III. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria
established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district may be relied upon to make the
following determinations. Would the project:

a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?

b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?

c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient
air quality standard (including releasing emissions which
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?

d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?

e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number
of people?

a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? (Less-Than-
Significant Impact)

An air quality plan describes air pollution control strategies to be implemented by a city, county, or
region classified as a non-attainment area. The main purpose of an air quality plan is to bring an area
into compliance with the requirements of federal and State air quality standards.

The project site is located within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin and is within the jurisdiction
of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The BAAQMD is responsible for
developing a Clean Air Plan
12
which guides the regions air quality planning efforts to attain the
California Ambient Air Quality Standard (CAAQS). The BAAQMD 2010 Clean Air Plan (CAP) is
the latest Clean Air Plan which contains district-wide control measures to reduce ozone precursor
emissions (i.e., ROG and NO
x
), particulate matter, and greenhouse gas emissions.

12
Bay Area Air Quality Management District, 2010. Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan. September.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

The current CAP, which was adopted on September 15, 2010, by the BAAQMD Board of Directors:
Updates the Bay Area 2005 Ozone Strategy in accordance with the requirements of the
California Clean Air Act to implement all feasible measures to reduce ozone;
Provides a control strategy to reduce ozone, particulate matter (PM), toxic air contaminants
(TACs), and greenhouse gases in a single, integrated plan;
Reviews progress in improving air quality in recent years; and
Establishes emission control measures to be adopted or implemented in the 2010 to 2012
timeframe.

The project supports the goals of the CAP and would not conflict with any of the control measures
identified in the plan or designed to bring the region into attainment. Additionally, the proposed
project would not increase population or substantially increase vehicle miles traveled. Therefore, the
proposed project would not conflict with, or obstruct implementation of, the BAAQMD CAP.

b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin is under State non-attainment status for ozone and particulate
matter (PM
10
and PM
2.5
) standards. The Air Basin is also classified as non-attainment for both the
federal ozone 8-hour standard and the federal PM
2.5
24-hour standard. Air pollutant emissions
associated with the proposed project would primarily occur over the short-term in association with
construction activities, including demolition, excavation and vehicle/equipment use. Long-term
operational emissions would result from vehicle trips to and from the project site. The following is a
description of potential air quality violations that could occur as a result of short-term construction
emissions, including fugitive dust, and long-term operational emissions.

Localized CO Impacts.The BAAQMD has established a screening methodology that provides
a conservative indication of whether the implementation of a proposed project would result in
significant CO emissions. According to the BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, the proposed
project would result in a less-than-significant impact to localized CO concentrations if the following
screening criteria are met:
The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program established
by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways, regional
transportation plan, and local congestion management agency plans;
The project would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 44,000
vehicles per hour; and
vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited (e.g.,
tunnel, parking garage, bridge underpass, natural or urban street canyon, below-grade
roadway).

The proposed project would not conflict with an applicable congestion management program for
designated roads or highways, the regional transportation plan or other agency plans. Additionally,
traffic volumes on roadways in the project vicinity are less than 5,000 vehicles per hour, and the
project is expected to generate a maximum of 450 peak hour trips. Therefore, the proposed project
J U N E 2 0 1 3

would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 24,000 vehicles per hour and
would not result in localized CO concentrations that would exceed State or federal standards.

Construction Period Impacts. Air pollutant emissions associated with the proposed project
would occur over the short-term in association with construction activities. Construction vehicle
traffic, the use of construction equipment, and wind blowing over exposed earth would emit exhaust
and dust that affect local and regional air quality. Construction emissions were quantified using the
California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) v.1.1. and are presented in Table 10 (see
Appendix B for calculation details).

Average Daily Exhaust Emissions 18.1 46.2 2.9 2.9
BAAQMD Thresholds 54.0 54.0 54.0 82.0
Exceed Threshold? No No No No

As shown in Table 10, exhaust emissions would be below the BAAQMD thresholds, however, the
BAAQMD requires that all projects implement best management practices to reduce construction
fugitive dust impacts to a less-than-significant level. With implementation of Mitigation Measure
AIR-1, construction of the proposed project would not substantially contribute to an air quality
violation.

Mitigation Measure AIR-1: The following construction practices shall be implemented at the
project site during construction of the project:
All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and
unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered.
All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet
power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is
prohibited.
All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.
All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as
possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil
binders are used.
Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or
reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California airborne
toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]).
Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points.
All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with
manufacturers specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and
determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation.

Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at EUSD
regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48
hours.

Operational Emissions Regional Emissions Analysis.Long-term air emission impacts are
those emissions associated with stationary sources and mobile sources.

Stationary source emissions
result from the consumption of natural gas and electricity. Mobile source emissions result from
vehicle trips generated by the project and result in air pollutant emissions affecting the entire air
basin. Regional emissions associated with the projects area source and operational source emissions
were calculated using CalEEMod.

The incremental daily emission increase in
reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrogen
oxides (NO
x
) (two precursors of ozone) and
particulate matter (PM
10
and PM
2.5
)
associated with buildout of the proposed
project are identified in Table 11. The BAA-
QMD has established thresholds of signif-
icance for ozone precursors and PM
2.5
of 54
pounds per day, and a threshold of 82
pounds per day for PM
10
. As shown in Table
11, emissions from the project would not
exceed these thresholds of significance; the
impacts to air quality from criteria air
pollutant and precursor emissions related to
project operations would be less than
significant. The proposed project would not
violate any air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation.

c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project
region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
(Less-Than-Significant Impact)

CEQA defines a cumulative impact as two or more individual effects, which when considered
together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts. According to
the BAAQMD, air pollution is largely a cumulative impact. No single project is sufficient in size, by
itself, to result in non-attainment of ambient air quality standards. Instead, a projects individual
emissions contribute to existing cumulatively significant adverse air quality impacts. Therefore, if
daily average or annual emissions of operational-related criteria air pollutants exceed any applicable
threshold established by the BAAQMD, the proposed project would result in a cumulatively
significant impact.

As shown in Table 11, implementation of the proposed project would generate less-than-significant
regional emissions. As described in the project-specific air quality impacts discussion above, the

proposed project would not result in individually significant impacts and therefore would not make a
cumulatively considerable contribution to regional air quality impacts.

d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? (Less-Than-Significant
Impact)

The project could expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations during project
construction or during operation of the project.

Construction Impacts. Residents and other sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project site
would be temporarily exposed to diesel engine exhaust during the construction period due to the
operation of construction equipment. Health risks from TACs are a function of both concentration and
duration of exposure. Construction diesel emissions are temporary, affecting an area for a period of
days or perhaps weeks. Additionally, construction-related sources are mobile and transient in nature,
and the emissions occur within the project site. Because of its short duration, health risks from
construction emissions of diesel particulate would be a less-than-significant impact.

Operational Impacts. Future students of the project site could be exposed to increased levels
of TACs from vehicle emissions on high volume roadways or from stationary sources in the project
vicinity.

High Volume Roadways. High volume roadways in the project vicinity could expose students
on the project site to toxic air contaminants. Classrooms would be located as close as 10 feet from
San Pablo Avenue, which is considered a high volume roadway. According to the BAAQMD
roadway screening tools, given the project sites proximity to San Pablo Avenue, the increased PM
2.5

concentration on the project site would be 0.10 g/m
3
, which is below the BAAQMDs threshold of
0.30 g/m
3
.

When adjusted to account for a childs breathing rate and school exposure duration, the
estimated cancer risk associated with exposure to this roadway is 5.77 in 1 million, which is below
the BAAQMDs threshold of 10 in 1 million. The project site is located more than 3,000 feet from
Interstate 80 (I-80), also considered a high volume roadway; however, at this distance I-80 would not
be expected to be a significant source of emissions. Potential toxic air contaminant impacts from high
volume roadways would not be significant.

Stationary Sources. The BAAQMD issues permits to businesses whose operation includes the
release of TACs. These operations are known as stationary air pollution sources and should be
considered for their exposure when locating sensitive receptors in a new location. In order to identify
stationary sources for a particular location, the BAAQMD provides KML (Google Earth) files for
each county within the BAAQMD jurisdiction. Using the KML file for the Alameda County and a
1,000-foot buffer zone, the five stationary sources shown in Table 12 were identified.

Results of the stationary source analysis indicate that all sources in the project vicinity would be
below the established significance criteria established by the BAAQMD, for both adult staff members
and students, at the single source level.

According to the BAAQMD, a significant cumulative toxic air contaminants (TAC) impact would
occur if the project, in combination with other projects located within a 1,000-foot radius of the
project site, would expose sensitive receptors to TACs resulting in an increased cancer risk greater
than 100.0 in one million, an increased cancer risk of greater than 10.0 on the hazard index (chronic),
J U N E 2 0 1 3

or an ambient PM
2.5
increase greater than 0.8 g/m
3
on an annual average basis. As shown in Table
12, the cumulative contribution of all TAC sources, which includes stationary and roadway sources,
would not exceed the thresholds established by the BAAQMD.

As shown in Table 5, implementation of the project would increase adult community sports usage of
the site by up to 30 additional people on weekdays between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
The project site is in an area of increased pollutant concentration potential during periods of stagnant
air due to the presence of high volume roadways and existing stationary sources in the project
vicinity. However, as shown in Table 12, cancer risk levels and PM
2.5
concentrations from all sources
would not exceed the established BAAQMD thresholds; therefore, air quality at the outdoor activity
areas would not present a significant risk to users.

Alameda County (AC) Transit operates a bus parking and maintenance facility directly south of the
project site across 47
th
Street. At this location, approximately 150 buses start their routes throughout
the morning beginning at 4:21 a.m. each day. In high concentrations, diesel exhaust from buses has
the potential to exceed the BAAQMDs risk threshold. However, high concentrations of exhaust
would not be expected from this facility as the movement of buses on and off the site are staggered
throughout the day, thereby limiting the concentration of diesel exhaust being generated by the
engines at one time. Additionally, these buses (as with all diesel engines) are prohibited from idling

in the engine when it is left idling more than 5 minutes.

e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? (Less-Than-Significant
Impact)

The proposed project would not involve permanent land uses or activities that would generate
objectionable odors. Construction-related activities, such as exhaust from construction vehicles and
equipment and building materials, may result in objectionable odors; however, these odors would be
temporary and short in duration. Once operational, the proposed project would not create objectiona-
ble odors affecting a substantial number of people.

The project site is located within an urban area and includes buildings, impervious surfaces, athletic
facilities, and landscaping; given the existing development, the site is considered to have very little
wildlife habitat value. Wildlife species that would be expected to use or pass through the site would
be common species that are adapted to urban and suburban conditions. No protected species are
known to occur within the project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not have a
significant direct or indirect effect on protected species.

b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish
and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation
Incorporated)

The project site is located within an urban area of Emeryville, and does not contain any riparian
habitats or other sensitive natural communities. The Temescal Creek culvert is located on the project
site, but is completely underground. The proposed project would result in a new outfall connection to
the culvert.

Given that the project site is currently developed, implementation of the proposed project would not
measurably affect the water quality of this creek. However, the project site eventually drains to the
San Francisco Bay, which hosts a variety of sensitive natural communities. Runoff from the project
site could adversely affect water quality in the Bay and associated natural communities. Implementa-
tion of the following mitigation measure, which addresses runoff during construction and operation of
the proposed project, would reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level:

J U N E 2 0 1 3

Mitigation Measure BIO-1: Implement Mitigation Measures HYD-1 and HYD-2 which require
preparation and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and
full compliance with the Water Board stormwater permit requirements.

c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct
removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? (Potentially Significant Unless
Mitigation Incorporated)

Temescal Creek runs under the north edge of the Secondary School site in a box culvert that is
approximately 15 feet by 11 feet in size. The proposed project would include a new outfall into the
culvert. As the project site is largely developed, a significant increase in stormwater flow into
Temescal Creek is not anticipated. Implementation of HYD-1 and HYD-2 would ensure that any
impact to Temescal Creek would be considered less than significant.

d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nursery sites? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The project area is developed, but includes landscaping that can support wildlife species typically
associated with urban uses. Because the project site is located in an urban environment, there are no
major wildlife movement corridors that pass through the site. However, existing trees and other
landscape vegetation on the project site generally have the potential to support nests of common
native bird species.

Project construction would result in the removal of trees and shrubs that could provide habitat for
nesting birds. Project activities conducted during the nesting season could directly impact nesting
birds by destruction of nests. Construction-related disturbance (e.g., noise, vehicle traffic, personnel
working adjacent to suitable nesting habitat) could also indirectly impact nesting birds by causing
adults to abandon nests in nearby trees or other vegetation, resulting in nest failure and reduced
reproductive potential. All native birds and their nests, regardless of their regulatory status, are
protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code. Imple-
mentation of the following mitigation measure would ensure that potential impacts to nesting birds
are reduced to a less-than-significant level.

Mitigation Measure BIO-2: If feasible, all vegetation removal shall be conducted during the
non-breeding season (i.e., August 1 to February 28) to avoid direct impacts to nesting birds. If
such work is scheduled during the breeding season, a qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-
construction survey to determine if any birds are nesting in the vegetation to be removed. The
pre-construction survey shall be conducted within 15 days prior to the start of work from March
through May (since there is higher potential for birds to initiate nesting during this period) and
within 30 days prior to the start of work from June through July. If active nests are found
during the survey, the biologist shall determine an appropriately sized buffer around the nest in
which no work will be allowed until the young have successfully fledged. The size of the nest
buffer shall be determined by the biologist in consultation with the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife (CDFG), and would be based on the nesting species, its sensitivity to
disturbance, and the expected types of disturbances.

e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or ordinance? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The project site contains 14 trees; additionally, 30 street trees are adjacent to the project site along
San Pablo Avenue (17 street trees) and 47
th
Street (13 street trees).
14
Trees in the project site include
Australian brush cherry (Syzygium paniculatum), Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), Carolina laurel
cherry (Prunus caroliniana), Purple leaf plum (Prunus cerasifera Pissardi), Pittosporum undula-
tum, Griselinia littorali, and Eucalyptus sp.trees. All street trees along San Pablo Avenue are Trident
maple trees (Acer buergerianum), and street trees along 47
th
Street include Trident maple (Acer
buergerianum ), Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia), Sweetshade (Hymendsporum fluvium), Chinese
pistache (Pistachia chinensis), Evergreen pear (Pyrus kawakamii), and ornamental pear (Pyrus sp.)
trees.
15
Most of the trees in the project site will be removed; however six existing redwood trees,
located in the northwest and northeast corners of the project site, would be preserved. Street trees
along San Pablo Avenue would likely be preserved and street trees along 47
th
Street would likely be
removed and replaced with new trees. The City of Emeryville Urban Forestry Ordinance,
16
provides
mechanisms by which street trees may be removed or replaced, and imposes penalties on unauthor-
ized tree removal. In general, the Urban Forestry Ordinance requires an encroachment permit for the
planting or removal of street trees.

Under the proposed project, new streetscape plantings surrounding the site would meet existing City
standards and utilize existing streetscape plantings where appropriate. In addition, new streetscape
trees would also be planted as required. The District would procure all appropriate encroachment
permits prior to the removal and/or planting of street trees, consistent with the Citys Urban Forestry
Ordinance. The proposed project would comply with this ordinance, and would not conflict with any
local policies or ordinances adopted for the protection of biological resources.

Implementation of the following mitigation measure would ensure that existing trees to be preserved
on and adjacent to the project site would be protected during construction and grading activities.

Mitigation Measure BIO-3: Prior to the commencement of construction activities, the general
contractor (and/or team) shall meet with the project arborist to review Tree Protection Measures
and the procedures outlined in the Tree Inventory Report.
17
Beyond on-site supervision of
recommended pruning, the project arborist shall make periodic inspections of the site during
the length of construction to monitor trees and ensure Tree Protection Measures are in place.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:

a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource as defined in 15064.5?

b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of an archaeological resource pursuant to 15064.5?

c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological
resource or site or unique geologic feature?

d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred
outside of formal cemeteries?

The following section is based on a cultural resources study prepared by LSA Associates, Inc, January
2013, which is included in Appendix C. This memorandum documents the background research and
the field review conducted for this project.

Cultural Setting

The prehistory and ethnographic background of the project site are described below. The historical
and architectural context of the project site is also presented below.

Prehistory. The Paleo-Archaic-Emergent cultural sequence developed by Fredrickson
18
is
commonly used to interpret the prehistoric occupation of Central California. The sequence consists of
three broad periods: the Paleoindian Period (10,000-6000 B.C.); the three-staged Archaic Period,
consisting of the Lower Archaic (6000-3000 B.C.), Middle Archaic (3000-500 B.C.), and Upper
Archaic (500 B.C.-A.D. 1000); and the Emergent Period (A.D. 1000-1800).

The Paleo Period began with the first entry of people into California. These people probably subsisted
mainly on big game, minimally processed plant foods, and had few or no trade networks. Current
research, however, is indicating more sedentism, plant processing, and trading than previously
believed. During the Lower Archaic, milling stones appear in abundance and hunting is less important
than plant foods. Artifacts are made predominantly from local materials, suggesting that few if any
extensive trade networks were established at this time. During the Middle Archaic, the subsistence
base begins to expand and diversify with a developing acorn economy, as evidenced by the mortar
and pestle, and the growing importance of hunting. Status and wealth distinctions are evidenced in the
Upper Archaic archaeological record; regional exchange networks are well established at this time
with exchange of goods and ideas, such as obsidian and Kuksu ceremonial practices involving spirit
impersonations. Increasing social complexity continued during the Lower Emergent. Territorial
boundaries were well established by this time with regularized inter-group exchanges involving more
and varied goods, people, and ideas. Bow and arrow technology was also introduced. By the Upper
Emergent, a monetary system based on the exchange of clamshell disk beads was established. Native
population reached its zenith during this time, as evidenced by high site densities and large village
sites in the archaeological record.

Historically, archaeological excavations in the East Bay have focused on shellmounds. These sites
often contain a rich, diverse assemblage of dietary remains, artifacts, and human remains. Excavations
at two major shellmounds near the project sitethe Emeryville Shellmound, CA-ALA-309, and the
West Berkeley Shellmound, CA-ALA-307have helped refine our understanding of the Bay Areas
earliest inhabitants. Excavations at the Emeryville Shellmound
19,20,21
have identified hundreds of
human burials, groundstone (e.g., mortars, pestles, and charmstones), flaked stone (e.g., obsidian
and chert projectile points and flaking debris), bone tools, and dietary debris, including clams, mussels,
oysters, and land and sea mammal bones. Excavations at the West Berkeley Shellmound have
identified an assemblage as diverse as the Emeryville Shellmounds, with two cultural components;
the oldest component is believed to predate 2000 B.C. and the earliest known occupation of the
Emeryville Shellmound.
22

Ethnography. The project site is situated within territory once occupied by Costanoan also
commonly referred to as Ohlone language groups. Eight mutually unintelligible Ohlone languages
were spoken in an area extending from the southern edge of the Carquinez Strait to portions of the
Sur and Salinas rivers south of Monterey.

groups was Chochenyo, which was spoken by about 2,000 people from Richmond to Mission San
Jose and possibly as far east as the Livermore Valley.
24

Ohlone territories were comprised of one or more land holding groups that anthropologists refer to as
tribelets. The tribelet, a nearly universal characteristic throughout native California, consists of a
principle village occupied year round, and a series of smaller hamlets and resource gathering and
processing locations occupied intermittently or seasonally.
25
Populations of tribelets ranged between
50 and 500 persons and were largely determined by the carrying capacity of a tribelets territory.
According to Milliken,
26
the Huchiun tribelet occupied the Emeryville area at the time of Spanish
contact.

Tribelet political organization included the position of chief, who inherited his or her office patrilin-
eally and required the communitys approval to assume the role.
27
Although the chief had little
coercive power over the population, administrative responsibilities and influence did accompany the
position. The chiefs responsibilities involved directing ceremonial activities and dances; caring for
captive animals, including grizzly bears and coyotes; feeding visiting members from other villages;
and overseeing subsistence-related hunting and gathering activities.

Ohlone groups employed a sexual division of labor to hunt and gather food. Women gathered and
processed a variety of nuts, seeds, and berries.
28
Important food staples included acorns gathered from
different oak species; nuts from the buckeye tree; hazelnuts; grassland and plant seeds from buttercup,
chia, redmaids, tarweed, and grey pine; wild strawberries, elderberries, madrone berries; and wild
grapes. The diet was supplemented with hunting and gathering numerous creek, shore, and terrestrial
species.
29,30
Small creeks in the hills were fished for trout, while groups with access to bay and
estuarine resources acquired shellfish, waterfowl, salmon, sturgeon, and lamprey eels. Larger
terrestrial mammals (e.g., grizzly bear, Roosevelt elk, and black tailed deer) were hunted with the
bow and arrow while communal drives and nets were used to capture smaller game (e.g., rabbits,
mice, and rats).

Resources were distributed via trade networks between the Ohlone and neighboring groups.
31
Ohlone
traded abalone, mussels, salt, Olivella shells, and bows to the Sierra Miwok and Yokuts groups to the
east. Pinon nuts obtained from the Yokuts are the only ethnographically documented import of

Ohlone groups, although undoubtedly other significant economic items, including obsidian used for
tools, were imported as well.

By the late eighteenth century, Spanish exploration and settlement of the Bay Area transformed
Ohlone culture. Spanish settlers moved into northern California and established the mission system
that exposed the Ohlone to diseases to which they had no immunity. Mission records indicate that the
first Huchiun was baptized in 1787 with the first large group from that tribelet arriving at Mission San
Francisco in the fall of 1794.
32
Following the secularization of the missions in 1834, many Ohlone
worked as manual laborers on ranchos.
33

Emeryville. The project site is within the Rancho San Antonio land grant, which was originally
granted to Luis Maria Peralta on August 3, 1820, for his service to the Spanish government. His
44,800-acre rancho included what are now the cities of Emeryville, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda,
Piedmont, and a part of San Leandro. Peraltas land grant was confirmed after Mexicos independ-
ence from Spain in 1822. In 1842, Peraltas son Vicente received the southwestern portion of the
rancho lands, which included todays Emeryville, central and north Oakland, and Piedmont. Alta
California was annexed by the United States in 1848, and Peraltas land title was confirmed by the
United States government in 1856.

In 1859, Joseph Emery purchased 185 acres of an unincorporated tract north of Oakland that would
become the City of Emeryville. At that time, Emeryville contained two major thoroughfares, Park and
San Pablo Avenues, and a section of the Southern Pacific railroad that paralleled the bayshore. Emery
built a Victorian mansion on the corners of San Pablo and Park Avenues, and then subdivided and
sold the remainder of his land. In 1871, Emery built the San Pablo Avenue Horse Car Railroad which
connected Oakland with Emeryville, attracting new residents and development to Emeryville.
34

Business investors and concerned citizens, including Joseph Emery, proposed incorporating
Emeryville in 1896. The group was interested in maintaining control of profits and taxes related to
their investment. Local voters agreed and the City of Emeryville was established.
35
In the 1920s, the
Citys Board of Trustees promoted Emeryvilles prime location on San Francisco Bay as an excellent
location for business enterprises, and its proximity to major cities, ports, and transportation. Coupled
with the offer of reduced taxes, Emeryville became the home of industrial businesses. By 1935, 100
manufacturing plants operated within the city.
36
The construction of the Bay Bridge connected
Emeryville with San Francisco in 1939 and led to further industrial growth. Paint factories, steel
mills, and other heavy industries continued to thrive during and after World War II.

Today, Emeryville is less reliant on industry and is restoring former factories and converting them via
adaptive reuse into work/live spaces. Service, shopping facilities, educational, entertainment, and
biological and other high tech industries are the new industries of this urban residential city.

Project Site and Vicinity. In 1902, the project site was occupied by a large, single-family
house facing San Pablo Avenue on a large, open, estate-like parcel with several detached buildings to
the rear of the property. To the west of the house, and adjacent to the project site, was the Oakland
Trotting Park. By 1911, the Trotting Park became the New California Jockey Club Race Track, and
the residential building at 47
th
Street and San Pablo Avenue was removed and the property cleared of
buildings, structures, and objects. In the 1930s, the site of the Oakland Trotting Park became the
Emeryville Motorcycle Speedway.
37,38,39

After Emeryville incorporated in 1896, a push to construct civic buildings began. For most of
Emeryvilles history the project site was associated with civic uses and not dense residential, as in the
neighborhoods to the north and east. This condition could be related to foreseeable land use conflicts
associated with the noise from the nearby motorcycle race track and baseball fields, which discour-
aged residential development and created a de facto area for libraries, schools, and repair shops and
storage yards for the Key Streetcar System and later the AC Transit system across 47
th
Street.
40,41

In 1920, a two-story, classical revival-styled school was built at the northwest corner of San Pablo
Avenue and 47
th
Street, which later became Emery High School.
42
In 1949, a public library was
constructed in the project site, which is now the District Administrative Offices at 4727 San Pablo
Avenue. The school was demolished and replaced in 1966 by Buildings 1 and 2, the one-story, L-
shaped, Brutalist-styled Art Lab/Computer Lab and the Library/Offices/Classrooms designed by
notable schools architect, Corwin Booth. The school was later renamed Emery Secondary School.

Architectural Context
International. Architecture on the project site closely followed trends elsewhere in California
during the twentieth century. The buildings on the project site that are over 50 years old (District
Administrative Offices, the Music Building, and the Central Plant Building) are associated with the
International Style, a design trend that began in Europe during the mid-1920s by Walter Gropius,
Mies van der Rohe, and the Bauhaus School. The essence of this style was to create an entirely new

design without historical or nationalist roots; a design for the Machine Age, easily replicated
worldwide. Fleeing Hitlers Germany, Gropius and others brought the Internationalist Style to the
United States where it became popular. The International Style is most famous in the design of
skyscrapers using a skeleton of structural steel with various wall claddings, usually glass. In a general
sense, an International-styled building had a flat roof with shallow or no eave or overhang across the
top, no decorative detailing on the faade, smooth, unadorned wall surfaces, an asymmetrical faade,
cantilevered sections jutting out from the wall and fenestration consisting of metal casements usually
set flush with the wall.
43,44

Brutalism. The buildings in the project site that are less than 50 years old (Art Lab/Computer
Lab, the Library/Offices/Classrooms, the Cafeteria/Kitchen/Offices/Classrooms, the Gymnasium, and
the Girls and Boys Locker Rooms) are expressions of Brutalist architecture, a style prominent in the
United States between 1950 and 1970 and used in many California public schools and civic buildings.
The International Style was popular following World War II, but gave way to other architectural
designs. Of these, Brutalism became popular among younger architects as a more aggressive design
for public buildings than the Bauhaus-derived International School. The design features of the
Brutalist architectural style (known as bton brut in French) was popularized by French Integration-
ist/Modernist architects Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and others. Brutalist architecture was an
attempt to redesign how people interacted with their environment. The style proved popular among
young architects of the time, who were keen to work with raw concrete, favored economy in materials
and honesty in design, Brutalist architects favored working with fixed-paned windows, full-height
walls of poured concrete with wall surfaces often textured with ribbed wall finishes or faced with
exposed aggregate. Brutalisms blockish arrangement, stressing linear patterns and arranged in large
chunks, evokes a cold, fortress-like feeling.

Style buildings constructed between 1949-1958: the Administration Building (1949); the Music
Building (1957); and the Central Plan Building (1958). Due to a lack of significance, the District does
not appear eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR), nor does it
otherwise constitute a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. No additional study or protection
of the District is warranted. Please see Appendix C for the cultural resources study and historical
evaluation.

b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to
15064.5? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

Background research and a field survey did not identify any archaeological deposits in the project
site. The project site, however, is currently developed with built-environment features and the native
ground surface is overlain by fill. Due to the project sites proximity to several recorded prehistoric
archaeological sites along Temescal Creek, historical archaeological site CA-ALA-634H, and
development of the project site by at least 1902, there is a high possibility of identifying subsurface
archaeological deposits and human remains during project ground-disturbing activities. Implementa-
tion of the following mitigation measures would reduce this potential impact to a less-than-significant
level.

Mitigation Measures CULT-1: Archaeological monitoring should be conducted for construc-
tion-related ground disturbance below soil that is demonstrated to be fill in the project site. The
monitoring should be done in accordance with, and as guided by, an Archaeological Monitoring
and Evaluation Plan (AMEP) prepared and implemented for the project. The purpose of the
AMEP is to ensure that significant archaeological deposits discovered during construction are
identified, evaluated, and appropriately treated through the use of a pre-established research
design and field evaluation strategy, consistent with the requirements of CEQA Guidelines
15126.4 (b)(3)(C). The AMEP should be approved by the District well in advance of construc-
tion, and its implementation should be made a condition of the issuance of a grading or building
permit for the project. The AMEP should be prepared by professionals who meet the Secretary
of the Interiors Professional Qualifications Standards in historical archaeology and prehistoric
archaeology.

The AMEP should include a construction monitoring component and an evaluation component.
The monitoring component of the AMEP should refine the archaeological sensitivity of the
project site to: (1) identify areas that will be subject to monitoring; (2) define the frequency of
monitoring; and (3) identify those areas with little to no possibility of containing intact deposits.
This assessment should focus on the project sites land use history based on historical maps and
photographs, past site improvement/utilities construction plans, historical documents, and
soils/geotechnical information. The possibility for encountering human remains during construc-
tion should also be addressed by consultation with the appropriate descendant groups.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

The evaluation component of the AMEP would guide fieldwork if archaeological resources or
human remains are identified during monitoring. The purpose of this component is to establish
an evaluation process to shorten the time necessary to respond to and evaluate the significance
of discoveries made during archaeological monitoring. The evaluation component should
contain a field study and technical analysis work plan to guide the methods and procedures to
be used during the significance evaluation. The treatment of human remains during the
evaluation process should be addressed, and procedures for the respectful treatment of such
remains should be developed through consultation with descendant communities prior to the
final draft of the AMEP.

c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

There is the possibility of encountering significant paleontological resources (fossils) in the
Pleistocene alluvium underlying the project site. Should fossils be identified during project ground-
disturbing activities, implementation of Mitigation Measures CULT-2 would reduce this potential

Mitigation Measure CULT-2: Should paleontological resources be encountered during project
subsurface construction activities, all ground-disturbing activities within 25 feet should be
redirected and a qualified paleontologist contacted to assess the situation, consult with agencies
as appropriate, and make recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. If found to be
significant, and project activities cannot avoid the paleontological resources, adverse effects to
paleontological resources should be mitigated. Mitigation may include monitoring, recording
the fossil locality, data recovery and analysis, a final report, and accessioning the fossil material
and technical report to a paleontological repository. Public educational outreach may also be
appropriate. Upon completion of the assessment, a report documenting methods, findings, and
recommendations should be prepared and submitted to the District for review, and (if paleonto-
logical materials are recovered) a paleontological repository, such as the University of
California Museum of Paleontology.

d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? (Potentially
Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

While not anticipated, the potential to discover human remains during construction of the proposed
project could occur. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CULT-1 would reduce this potential

a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss,
injury, or death involving:

(i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake
Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial
evidence of a known fault?(Less-Than-Significant Impact)

No portion of the proposed project site is within the established Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone
(A-PEFZ),
51,52
and no active faults have been mapped on the project site by the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) or the California Geological Survey (CGS).
53
Fault rupture of the surface
typically occurs along existing faults that have ruptured the surface in the past. Since faults with
known surface rupture have been mapped in California, and none are known to occur at the project
site, the potential for impacts to the proposed project due to fault rupture are less than significant.

(ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?(Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

Ground shaking is likely to occur within the life of the project as a result of future earthquakes.
54
The
closest known active fault to the project site is the Hayward Fault, which has been mapped in an A-
PEFZ approximately 2.8 miles east of the site. Other active faults within 20 miles of the project site
include the San Andreas, Calaveras, Rodgers Creek, and Concord-Green Valley Faults. The Working
Group on California Earthquake Probabilities report, and the USGS, predicted there is a 31 percent
probability of a 6.7 magnitude or greater earthquake on the Hayward/Rodgers Creek fault system
between 2007 and 2037.
55
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) has classified the
Modified Mercalli Intensity Shaking Severity Level of ground shaking in the proposed project
vicinity due to an earthquake on the North Hayward segment of the Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault
System as X-Very Violent.
56
Very violent shaking could result in destruction of most masonry and
frame buildings and underground pipe breakage.

Implementation of the following three-part mitigation measure would reduce impacts to occupants as
a result of seismic shaking to a less-than-significant level:

Mitigation Measure GEO-1a: Prior to the issuance of any grading or construction permits for
the project, a design-level geotechnical investigation shall be prepared by a licensed profes-
sional and submitted to the City Building Division and the California Division of the State

Architect (DSA) for review and approval. The geotechnical investigation shall determine the
proposed projects geotechnical conditions and geohazards, including seismic shaking, subsid-
ence, collapse, soil expansion, and differential settlement. The investigation shall identify
engineering techniques appropriate to minimize potential geohazard damage.

The analysis presented in the geotechnical investigation shall conform to the California
Division of Mines and Geology recommendations presented in the Guidelines for Evaluating
Seismic Hazards in California. Briefly, the guidelines recommend that the investigation
include: a site screening evaluation; an evaluation of on- and off-site geologic hazards; a
quantitative evaluation of hazard potential; a detailed field investigation; an estimation of
ground-motion parameters; an evaluation of landslide, liquefaction, lateral-spreading and
ground-displacement hazards; and recommendations to reduce identified hazards.

The geotechnical investigation report shall include a finding that the proposed development
fully complies with the California Building Code, applicable City ordinances, and DSA
requirements. The CBC and applicable City ordinances were developed to ensure that
compliant structures would be earthquake-resistant, not earthquake-proof. The CBC is
intended to protect people inside buildings by preventing collapse and allowing for safe
evacuation. Structures built according to code should resist minor earthquakes undamaged,
resist moderate earthquakes without significant structural damage, and resist severe earthquakes
without collapse.

Mitigation Measure GEO-1b: Plan check review for the project shall include evaluation of
fixtures, furnishings, and fasteners with the intent of minimizing collateral injuries to building
occupants from falling fixtures or furnishings during the course of a violent seismic event.

Mitigation Measure GEO-1c: All design measures, recommendations, design criteria, and
specifications set forth in the design-level geotechnical investigation shall be implemented as a
condition of project approval.

(iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? (Potentially Significant Unless

Liquefaction of soils can occur when ground shaking causes saturated soils to lose strength due to an
increase in pore pressure. ABAG has identified the liquefaction hazard at the project site and vicinity
as generally moderate.
57
Liquefaction susceptibility depends on the engineering properties of the
sediments below individual structures. Review of the official seismic hazard map for this area
prepared by the CGS indicates that the site is within a mapped zone for which an evaluation of soil
liquefaction is required by the State of California.
58
The geotechnical investigation prepared for the
project evaluated liquefaction potential at the project site using the methodology suggested in the

Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California.
59
Subsurface data from six
borings were evaluated, and the geotechnical report concluded that liquefaction-related settlement
could be on the order of approximately two inches in the northeast corner of the site, and 0.1 to 0.5
inches in the remainder of the site during a design-level seismic event.
60
Therefore, the liquefaction
hazard is potentially significant unless mitigation is incorporated. Implementation of Mitigation
Measure GEO-1a would reduce the liquefaction hazard impact to a less-than-significant level.

(iv) Landslides? (No Impact)

Slope stability issues can result in either slow slumping earth movements or rapid landslide events.
The project site is nearly level, and there are no adjacent hills.
61,62
The project site is not located
within a mapped landslide or landslide hazard area or within an official zone of Required Investiga-
tion for seismically-induced landsliding.
63
Improvements proposed as part of the project do not
include substantial mounding of earth or other substantive changes to grade that would create slope
instability hazards. Therefore, there is no potential for impacts related to landslides.

b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? (Potentially Significant Unless

The proposed project would demolish existing structures, remove existing landscaping and pavement,
and require site grading. The potential for the project to cause erosion impacts during construction
and operations is potentially significant. This potential impact would be mitigated to a less-than-
significant level by implementation of Mitigation Measure HYD-1.

c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of
the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence,
liquefaction or collapse? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The project site has an elevation of approximately 40 feet above mean sea level with a gentle slope to
the west
64
and is underlain by Holocene age alluvial fan and fluvial deposits.
65
The area around the
project site does not include hills or cut slopes likely to be subject to landslide.

According to the geotechnical report prepared for the project, most of the borings drilled on the site
encountered very stiff to hard lean to fat clays with lenses of medium-dense to dense granular soils.
Softer compressible soils were encountered below the northern portions of the K-8 classroom and

District Administrative buildings in the northeast corner of the project site. Imported fill material was
encountered to a depth of 22 feet in boring B-1, located in the northeast corner of the site apparently
in the backfill of the underground culvert channelizing Temescal Creek.

Considerations affecting the selection of appropriate foundations at the proposed site include: 1) the
presence of loose, compressible fill in the northeast corner of the site; 2) the presence of the concrete
culvert in the northeast corner of the site; 3) the presence of groundwater at shallow depths (12 to 24
feet below ground surface); and 4) the lack of subsurface data from the southern portion of the site, in
the area underlain by a possible southern channel of Temescal Creek. Therefore, the potential for
impacts related to unstable soils is potentially significant unless mitigated.

Mitigation Measure GEO-1a, which requires the project applicant to include analysis of the potential
for unstable soils impacts as part of the design-level geotechnical investigation to be prepared for the
proposed project, would reduce the potential impacts related to unstable soils impacts to a less-than-
significant level.

d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation
Incorporated)

Expansive soils expand and contract in response to changes in soil moisture, most notably when near
surface soils change from saturated to a low moisture content condition, and back again. Based on the
geotechnical report, the on-site soils are generally suitable for use as structural fill but need further
evaluation to confirm if they are suitable for use as non-expansive fill. The onsite soils include clay
materials that are potentially expansive. Mitigation measures may include: 1) deepened footings/mats;
2) placement of footings/mats on non-expansive fill; 3) placement of footings/mats on soil treated
with lime to reduce its expansion potential; and 4) construction on structurally supported grade beams
or slabs above the expansive soil.

Mitigation Measure GEO-1a, which requires the project applicant to include analysis of the potential
for soil expansion impacts as part of the design-level geotechnical investigation to be prepared for the
proposed project, would reduce the potential expansive soils impacts to a less-than-significant level.

e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water
disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? (No Impact)

The proposed project does not include the installation or use of septic or on-site wastewater disposal
systems, and would be connected to the City of Emeryville sanitary sewer system. Therefore, no
geologic or soils impact would occur.

VII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the
project:

a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or
indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the
environment?

b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation
adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of
greenhouse gases?

a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Construction Emissions. Construction activities, such as site preparation, site grading, utility
engines, on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles, equipment hauling materials to and from the site,
and motor vehicles transporting the construction crew would produce combustion emissions from
various sources. During construction of the project, greenhouse gasses (GHGs) would be emitted
through the operation of construction equipment and from worker and builder supply vendor vehicles,
each of which typically use fossil-based fuels to operate. The combustion of fossil-based fuels creates
GHGs such as carbon dioxide (CO
2
), methane (CH
4
), and nitrous oxide (N
2
O). Furthermore, CH
4
is
emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Exhaust emissions from on-site construction activities
would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The only GHG with well-studied emissions
characteristics and published emissions factors for construction equipment is CO
2
.

Using the CalEEMod emissions estimator model to estimate construction equipment use, total project
construction activities would emit approximately 759 metric tons of CO
2
e. Model output sheets are
included in Appendix B.

BAAQMD does not have a quantitative threshold of significance for construction-related GHG
emissions. Therefore, the threshold is based on a qualitative evaluation of whether the project imple-
ments applicable BAAQMD Best Management Practices. Implementation of Mitigation Measure
AIR-1 would reduce GHG emissions by reducing the amount of construction vehicle idling and by
requiring the use of properly maintained equipment. Therefore, project construction impacts
associated with global climate change would be considered less than significant.

Operational GHG Emissions. Long-term operation of the proposed project would generate
GHG emissions from mobile sources and indirect emissions from sources associated with energy
consumption. Mobile-source emissions of GHGs would include project-generated vehicle trips
associated with teachers, students, visitors and other employee trips to the project site. Emissions
would also be generated at off-site utility providers as a result of demand for electricity by the
proposed project.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

Greenhouse gas emissions associated with the project were estimated using CalEEMod v. 2011.1.1.
Table 13 shows the calculated GHG emissions for the proposed project. Motor vehicle emissions are
the largest source of GHG emissions (62 percent of total emissions). Energy use associated with the
project is the next largest source of the total project greenhouse gas emissions at 30 percent, with
water and waste representing approximately 8 percent of the total. Additional calculation details are
provided in Appendix B.

Electricity 287.87 0.01 0.00 287.65 30
Total Annual Emissions 949.03 100

As shown in Table 13, the proposed project would generate approximately 949 metric tons of CO
2
e
per year of emissions. Annual emissions of operational-related GHGs for the proposed project do not
exceed the BAAQMDs significance threshold of 1,100 metric tons of CO
2
e per year. Therefore,
operation of the proposed project would not generate significant GHG emissions and would have a
less-than-significant impact on operational GHG emissions.

b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gases? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

The City of Emeryville adopted a Climate Action Plan in November of 2008. The purpose of the Plan
was to set a goal to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent below 2004
levels by 2020. To meet this goal, the City proposed community-wide and government actions to
reduce emissions. Actions applicable to the proposed project include enhanced Transportation
Demand Management Conditions, Conserve Potable Water and develop Rainwater Usage. Reduce
2004 Landfilled Water Tonnage by 50 percent by 2020.

The proposed project would replace buildings that were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s with
energy-efficient buildings using Californias Built it Green standards. Current energy efficiency
standards would greatly reduce energy use and subsequent greenhouse gas emissions associated with
the project. An analysis of current and projected energy usage was conducted by the Integral Group.
The analysis compared the energy use of the existing secondary school and the comparable spaces of
the new project. The comparison indicates the proposed school-related uses would reduce energy
demand by over 50 percent (See Appendix B).

The project would also contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by reducing transporta-
tion demand by providing a school and community use facility that is located with pedestrian, bicycle,
and transit facilities within close proximity. According to the Transportation Impact Analysis
prepared by Fehr & Peers for the project, the projects library and multi-purpose space would reduce
trips a minimum of 20 percent over standard building construction due to carpool, walking, cycling
and transit options. The project would also reduce trips by providing facilities for after-school
activities, thereby reducing the need for additional trips by students already on campus. The project
would incorporate water conservation measures into site design. The project would also comply with
the Citys Construction and Demolition Ordinance and will prepare a Construction Demolition Waste
Management Plan prior to building or demolition of the proposed project.

To be consistent with the specific Community-wide Solid Waste Reduction Measures and Transporta-
tion Measures outlined in the Climate Action Plan, and further reduce vehicle trips and GHG
emissions, the following measure shall be implemented:

Mitigation Measure GHG-1: The proposed project shall participate in recycling/reuse programs
for paper, cardboard, metal, glass and plastics. The proposed project shall also participate in a
commercial food waste collection program for composting. The project shall recycle and
compost 75 percent of operational waste to comply with City GHG reduction goals. The
District shall provide bus passes to high school students to meet the Citys GHG transportation
emission reduction goals.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure GHG-1 would implement the specific measures applicable to
the project from the Citys Climate Action Plan and, therefore, the project would not conflict with the
City of Emeryvilles Climate Action Plan.

The California Environmental Protection Agency Climate Action Team (CAT) and the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) have developed several reports to achieve the Governors GHG targets,
which rely on voluntary actions by California businesses, local government and community groups,
and State incentive and regulatory programs. These include the CAT 2006 Report to Governor
Schwarzenegger and the Legislature, the ARB 2007 Expanded List of Early Action Measures to
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in California, and the ARB Climate Change Scoping Plan: a
Framework for Change. The reports identify strategies to reduce Californias emissions to the levels
proposed in Executive Order S-3-05 and AB 32. The adopted Scoping Plan includes proposed GHG
reductions from direct regulations, alternative compliance mechanisms, monetary and non-monetary
incentives, voluntary actions, and market-based mechanisms such as cap-and-trade systems.

In addition to reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, AB 32 directed ARB to identify a list
of discrete early action GHG reduction measures that can be adopted and made enforceable by
January 1, 2010.
67
In June 2007 ARB approved a list of 37 early action measures, including three
discrete early action measures (Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Restrictions on High Global Warming
Potential Refrigerants, and Landfill Methane Capture). The ARB adopted additional early action
measures in October 2007 that tripled the number of discrete early action measures.

67
Discrete early action measures are measures that are required to be adopted as regulations and made effective no
later than January 1, 2010, the date established by Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 38560.5.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

ARBs focus in identifying the 44 early action items was to recommend measures that ARB staff
concluded were expected to yield significant GHG emission reductions, and likely to be cost-
effective and technologically feasible.
68
The combination of early action measures is estimated to
reduce Statewide GHG emissions by nearly 16 million metric tons (MMT). Accordingly, the 44 early
action items focus on industrial production processes, agriculture, and transportation sectors.

Early action items associated with industrial production and agriculture do not apply to the proposed
project. The transportation sector early action items, which include truck efficiency, low carbon fuel
standard, proper tire inflation, truck stop electrification and strengthening light duty vehicle standards,
are either not specifically applicable to the proposed project or, if implemented, would result in a
reduction of GHG emissions associated with the project (i.e., emissions from vehicles traveling to the
project site would be reduced due to implementation of light duty vehicle standards). Measures
implemented as part of the Scoping Plan at the Statewide level that would reduce project-specific
emissions include emission reductions, such as light-duty vehicle GHG standards (Pavley standards),
low carbon fuel standard, and energy efficiency measures (i.e., electricity use associated with the
project lighting).

As previously discussed, the proposed project does not exceed the BAAQMD threshold of signifi-
cance for GHG emissions. The BAAQMD approach to developing a threshold of significance for
GHG emissions is to identify the emissions level for which a project would not be expected to
substantially conflict with existing California legislation adopted to reduce Statewide GHG emissions.
The projects GHG emissions are below this threshold, and, therefore, would not conflict with any
applicable plan, policy or regulation for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with
an adopted emergency response plan or emergency

h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of
loss, injury or death involving wildland fires,
including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized
areas or where residences are intermixed with
wildlands?

a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use,
or disposal of hazardous materials? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Development of the proposed project would not involve the routine transport, use, or disposal of
significant quantities of hazardous materials. The project would routinely handle and use small
quantities of commercially-available hazardous materials, such as cleaning, and landscaping and pool
supplies. However, these materials would not be expected to be used in sufficient quantities or,
contrary to normal use, to pose a threat to human health or the environment. Development of the
proposed project would have a less-than-significant impact on the public and the environment related
to the routine transport, use, and handling of hazardous materials.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
(Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The project site is located in an area of Emeryville that has been developed since the late 1800s.
While the more recent type of land use of the site has included a school as described in the Phase 1
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA),
69
historic land uses on the northeast portion of the site have
included a gas and oil station, auto repair shop, rubber mat manufacturing, spray painting facility, and
plastic molding workshop. These types of uses are associated with the presence of hazardous
materials.

The Phase I ESA identified six Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC),
70
as defined by ASTM
E1527-05,
71
on the project site due to former site and adjacent property uses. These REC are briefly
described below:
1. Use and refueling of the emergency generator with an attached fuel tank located southwest
of Building 5 constitute a material threat of a release of fuel to soil near the generator.
2. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) may be present in the transformer southwest of Building
1. If PCB are present and not properly abated prior to demolition, it could potentially
expose construction workers, the public, future users of the project site, and the environ-
ment to hazardous materials.
3. Herbicides may have been used on the athletic field, and may be present in soil at concen-
trations that could pose a health risk to the public or the environment.
4. The use of lead-based paint on school buildings in the past could have resulted in the
presence of lead in the soil near buildings. If present, this lead could pose a health risk to
construction workers and future users of the project site, and/or require special soils
management procedures.
5. Groundwater below the northeast portion of the project site may be affected by diesel from
the release at R&H Auto Repair (identified in the Phase I ESA as Site 11); if present, these
concentrations would likely be below applicable environmental screening levels.
6. Groundwater below the southeast portion of the Site could be affected by low concentra-
tions of diesel from the former Berkeley Farms Truck Shop Yard (identified in the Phase I
ESA as Site 10).

REC are defined in ASTM E1527-05 as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum
products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of
any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, ground water, or surface
water of the property. According to ASTM E1527-05, the term REC is not intended to include de minimis conditions that
generally do not present a material risk of harm to public health or the environment and that generally would not be the
subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental authorities.

Four Vapor Encroachment Concerns (VEC)
72
as defined by ASTM E2600-10
73
were identified in the
Phase I ESA due to reported releases of petroleum to groundwater adjacent to the project site. These
REC and VEC have the potential to have affected the quality of subsurface conditions on the project
site. Specific chemicals of concern would include petroleum hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides,
herbicides, lead, and polychlorinated biphenyls. If chemicals of concern from past or adjacent land
uses were present at the project site, they could pose a hazard to human health and the environment
during construction or following site development.

Hazardous building materials may be present in structures proposed for demolition at the project site
and could pose a threat of a hazardous materials release or affect construction workers if not handled
properly. Destruction or remodeling of buildings constructed prior to about 1980 has the potential to
release lead particles, asbestos fibers, and/or other hazardous materials to the air, where they may be
inhaled by construction workers and the general public. Hazardous concentrations of lead, which is a
State-recognized carcinogen,
74
may be present on the surface of painted structures on the project site,
as well as in shallow soils surrounding the painted structures. Prior to 1978, lead compounds were
commonly used in interior and exterior paints. Prior to the 1980s, building materials often contained
asbestos fibers, which were used to provide strength and fire resistance. The project proposes to
demolish buildings that were constructed from the 1930s through the mid-1960s.

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is the lead reviewing agency for
potential contamination at new, existing, or expanding school sites,
75
and requires evaluation of
asbestos-containing material (ACM) for all schools constructed prior to 1976
76
and evaluation of lead
in paint on the structures and soil near the painted structures for all schools constructed prior to
January 1, 1993.
77,78
An assessment with limited sampling for lead in paint chips and ACM was
conducted in 2003, and results are discussed below.
79

72
VEC are defined in ASTM 2600-10 as the presence or likely presence of COC [chemicals of concern] vapors in
the sub-surface of the target property (TP) caused by the release of vapors from contaminated soil or groundwater either on
or near the TP as identified by Tier 1 or Tier 2 procedures.

Asbestos. Asbestos was reported in some drywall, joint compound, building exterior surface
material, vinyl floor tiles, and boiler tank insulation, and was assumed to be present in some roofing,
vents, and insulation. The removal of hazardous building materials prior to demolition and renova-
tion is governed by federal and State regulations. Section 19827.5 of the California Health and Safety
Code requires that local agencies not issue demolition or alteration permits until an applicant has
demonstrated compliance with notification requirements under applicable federal regulations
regarding hazardous air pollutants. The Code of Federal Regulations National Emissions Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) classifies and regulates material containing more than 1
percent asbestos.
80
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is vested by the
California legislature with authority to regulate airborne pollutants, including asbestos, through both
inspection and law enforcement, and is to be notified 10 days in advance of any proposed demolition
or abatement work. Consistent with requirements of State PRC 21151.8, the District sent letters to
BAAQMD and Alameda County Environmental Health requesting a list of facilities within mile of
the project site that emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous waste.

Lead. Paint with regulated concentrations of lead (>0.06 percent) was reported in multiple
areas including the administration offices, kitchen, and art/computer lab building, and was assumed to
be present in additional areas where no paint chips were collected. The site is currently paved;
however, paint particles and/or chips from lead-based paint may have historically been deposited in
shallow soils around the structures due to weathering. Loose and peeling lead-based paint must be
disposed of as a State and/or federal hazardous waste if the concentration of lead equals or exceeds
applicable waste thresholds. State and federal construction worker health and safety regulations
require a supervisor who is certified to identify existing and predictable lead hazards to oversee air
monitoring and other protective measures during demolition activities where lead-based paint may be
present. Special protective measures and notification to the California Department of Industrial
Relations, Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) are required for highly hazardous
construction tasks related to lead, such as manual demolition, abrasive blasting, welding, cutting, or
torch burning of structures where lead-based paint is present.
81

Hazardous building materials on the project site may also include fluorescent lighting tubes and
ballasts, mercury thermometers, and several other common items that are regulated as universal
wastes by the State of California. Universal waste must be recycled and managed under the simple,
streamlined universal waste handler standards for the State of California.
82

Following construction, the project is not expected to generate or use significant quantities of
hazardous materials. In addition, on-site handling and storage of hazardous materials would be
undertaken according to all applicable local, State, and federal regulations. No upset or accident
conditions resulting in the release of hazardous material into the environment can be reasonably

significant.

Summary
Hazardous materials, including metal and organic compounds, may be present in shallow soils, soil
vapor, groundwater, at the project site from current and past land uses onsite and adjacent to the site.
Hazardous building materials including lead and asbestos have been reported onsite. Direct contact,
inhalation, or ingestion of hazardous materials could potentially cause adverse health effects to
construction workers and future site users. Implementation of the following mitigation measures
would reduce potentially significant impacts associated with potential hazardous materials in soil, soil
vapor, groundwater, and building materials at the project site to a less-than-significant level:

Mitigation Measure HAZ-1: A Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) shall be
completed by a licensed professional in accordance with DTSC requirements to determine if a
release of hazardous materials has occurred on the site. The scope of the PEA shall be deter-
mined in accordance with a DTSC-approved workplan and the Phase I ESA recommendations.
If contaminants are identified in subsurface soil, soil vapor, or groundwater, the PEA shall
screen the identified contaminant concentrations relative to applicable environmental screening
levels as directed by the DTSC to ensure the protection of construction workers, future site
users, and the environment, and also be screened against hazardous waste thresholds to
determine soil management options.

If contaminant concentrations are above the applicable environmental screening levels, the
PEA shall make recommendations for remedial actions for the protection of public health and
the environment. If the PEA recommends remedial action (which may include but not be
limited to soil and/or groundwater removal or treatment, a site-specific soil and groundwater
management plan, a site-specific health and safety plan, and a risk management plan), the
District shall consult with the appropriate local, State, or federal environmental regulatory
agencies, including the DTSC, to ensure sufficient minimization of risk to human health and
the environmental, both during and after construction, posed by soil, soil vapor, or groundwater
contamination. The District shall obtain and submit written approval documentation for any
remedial action, if required by a local, state, or federal environmental regulatory agency prior to
project occupancy.

Mitigation Measure HAZ-2: An updated hazardous building materials survey shall be con-
ducted by a qualified professional for structures proposed for demolition at the project site. All
loose and peeling lead-based paint and asbestos shall be abated by a certified contractor(s) in
accordance with local, state, and federal requirements. All other hazardous materials, such as
universal wastes, shall be removed from structures prior to demolition in accordance with
DTSC regulations. The findings of the abatement activities shall be documented by a qualified
environmental professional(s) and submitted to the DTSC, the Division of State Architect and
the City of Emeryville prior to the issuance of construction and demolition permits.

c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, sub-stances, or
waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? (Potentially Significant Impact
Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

Emeryville Child Development Center preschool is located approximately 200 feet northwest of the
project site, the Escuela Bilinge International is located approximately 125 feet southeast of the
project site, and the Grace Childrens Center is located just under one-quarter mile east of the project
site. However, implementation of Mitigation Measures HAZ-1 and HAZ-2 would prevent any
potential contamination from the project site from migrating off-site during construction and reduce
the potential impact to a less-than-significant level.

d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the
public or the environment? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

The provisions of Government Code 65962.5 require the DTSC, the State Water Resources Control
Board, the California Department of Health Services, and the California Integrated Waste Manage-
ment Board to submit information pertaining to sites associated with solid waste disposal, hazardous
waste disposal, and/or hazardous materials releases to the Secretary of Cal/EPA. The Phase I ESA
scope included completion of a review of regulatory databases, including listed hazardous materials
release sites compiled pursuant to Government Code 65962.5, and concluded that the project site is
listed as a hazardous materials site.
83
The project site was listed due to permitted disposal under
hazardous waste manifests of laboratory waste chemicals in 2004 and 2011; asbestos-containing
waste in 2003 and 2006; and solids with PCB in 2003. These permitted disposal events were related
to upgrading school facilities. No unauthorized releases of hazardous substances were reported on the
project site. Therefore, the project would not result in an impact to the public or the environment
related to a reported release or disposal of hazardous materials related to a listed site.

e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (No Impact)

The project site is located approximately 7.5 miles north of the Oakland International Airport. The
project site is not located within any restrictive area in the Oakland International Airport Master
Plan.
84
The proposed project would not result a safety hazard to people working or residing in the area
due to the proximity of an airport.

f) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (No Impact)

The proposed project is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip. The proposed project would not
result in a safety hazard to people working or residing in the area due to the proximity of a private
airstrip.

g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

San Pablo Avenue, adjacent and east of the project site, is designated as an evacuation route in the
event of a disaster. The City of Emeryville has an informal agreement with AC Transit, located
adjacent to and south of the project site, to assist in evacuation in case of an emergency.
85
The
proposed project would not obstruct San Pablo Avenue or reduce the width of this emergency
corridor, or obstruct access to or from AC Transit. The proposed project would not impair imple-
mentation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan.

h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires,
including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed
with wildlands? (No Impact)

The project site is in an urban area and is not within or adjacent to a wildland fire hazard area. The
proposed project would not expose people or structures to a significant impact related to loss, injury
or death involving wildland fires.

IX. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the
project:

a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge
requirements?

b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge such that there
would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering
of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the produc-
tion rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a
level which would not support existing land uses or
planned uses for which permits have been granted)?

c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the
site or area, including through the alteration of the
course of a stream or river, in a manner which would
result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site?

d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the
site or area, including through the alteration of the
course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the
rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which
would result in flooding on- or off-site?

e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed
the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage
systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff?

f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?

g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as
mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood
Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation
map?

h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures
which would impede or redirect flood flows?

i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss,
injury or death involving flooding, including flooding
of as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?

j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?

J U N E 2 0 1 3

a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? (Potentially Significant
Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The State Board and nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards regulate water quality of surface
water and groundwater bodies throughout California. In the Bay Area, including the project site, the
San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) is responsible for imple-
mentation the Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan).
86
The Basin Plan establishes beneficial water
uses for waterways and water bodies within the region.

Development of the project may result in an indirect impact to surface water bodies as a result of
stormwater runoff contamination. Stormwater runoff from the project site would be captured in storm
drains connected to Temescal Creek, which has been channelized in an underground concrete culvert
near 53
rd
Street, in the northern portion of the project site. Stormwater would be conveyed directly
from Temescal Creek to San Francisco Bay, which has been designated as an impaired waterway
under Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act due to pollutants including pesticides, furan
compounds, mercury, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and selenium. Develop-
ment projects that discharge to an impaired water body must be consistent with Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) action plans designed to identify and eliminate pollutant sources. To date, TMDL
plans for San Francisco Bay have been developed for mercury and PCBs.
87

Construction activities associated with the proposed project would cause disturbance of soil during
excavation work, which could adversely impact water quality. Contaminants from construction
vehicles and equipment and sediment from soil erosion could increase the pollutant load in runoff
being transported to receiving waters during development.

The project would include a parking lot and landscaping, which may potentially be sources of
stormwater runoff contaminants. Operation and parking of vehicles has the potential to introduce
motor oil, metals, and sediment to runoff. New landscaping and gardens at the project site would
generally be expected to improve runoff quality (relative to the existing condition), as long as that
landscaping is maintained properly and eroded soils and horticultural chemicals are not allowed to
become entrained in the stormwater.

In Emeryville, stormwater permitting is the responsibility of the Citys Department of Public Works,
which administers the Citys stormwater treatment design, management, and discharge control
program (Emeryville Municipal Code Title 6, Chapter 13). The City stormwater program includes
provisions exceeding federal, state, and Water Board requirements, including mandating site owners
to implement all practicable measures to reduce stormwater pollutants (Emeryville Municipal Code
6-13.204).

The Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (ACCWP), a consortium of local municipalities and
County agencies, facilitates local compliance with federal, state, and Water Board requirements.

Runoff water quality is regulated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Program (established through the federal Clean Water Act). The NPDES program objective is to
control and reduce pollutant discharges to surface water bodies. Compliance with NPDES permits is
mandated by state and federal statutes and regulations. In the Bay Area, the NPDES Program is
administered by the Water Board. Any construction activities, including grading, that would result in
the disturbance of one acre or more would require compliance with the General Permit for Storm
Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activity (Construction
General Permit). The project site is 7.7 acres in area, and would be subject to the Construction
General Permit.

The project would also be subject to the Water Boards Municipal Regional Permit (MRP), imple-
mented in October 2009 by Order R2-2009-0074. Provision C.3 of the MRP addresses new develop-
ment and redevelopment projects. As project construction would replace more than 10,000 square feet
and more than 50 percent of the existing impervious surface at the site, the entire project site, consist-
ing of all existing, new, and/or replaced impervious surfaces, must be included in the treatment
system design (i.e., stormwater treatment systems must be designed and sized to treat stormwater
runoff from the entire project site). Effective December 1, 2012, all projects creating or replacing
more than 2,500 square feet of impervious surfaces must implement additional stormwater control
measures, which may include recycling roof runoff, directing roof and pavement runoff to vegetated
areas, and/or constructing sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots with permeable surfaces. The
proposed project will be subject to these requirements.

Plans for the project site show bioremediation areas and flow-through planters designed to meet these
requirements for site buildings and surrounding paved areas.
88
The bioremediation areas and planters
would consist of a minimum of 18 inches of a biotreatment soil mix over 12 inches of permeable
rock. These areas have been designed with a sizing factor of 4 percent for each of the buildings and
paved areas at the site. While these plans exclude the proposed artificial turf playing field and do not
constitute a complete Stormwater Control Plan (SCP), required under the MRP, the proposed site
plans appear to be in general compliance with MRP requirements.

A complete SCP must be prepared and submitted for the project site detailing applicable design
elements and implementation measures, and providing calculations demonstrating that site design will
to meet MRP requirements. The project will be required to include Low Impact Development (LID)
design measures and a Stormwater Facility Operation and Maintenance Plan must be prepared to
ensure that stormwater control measures are inspected, maintained, and funded for the life of the
project.

Long-term degradation of runoff water quality from project construction and operation could adversely
affect water quality in Temescal Creek and San Francisco Bay. Implementation of the following two
mitigation measures would reduce potential construction- and operation-period impacts to water
quality to a less-than-significant level.

Mitigation Measure HYD-1: Consistent with the requirements of the statewide Construction
General Permit, the project applicant shall prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) designed to reduce potential adverse impacts to surface water quality
through the project construction period. The SWPPP shall be designed to address the following
objectives:
1. All pollutants and their sources, including sources of sediment associated with construc-
tion, construction site erosion and all other activities associated with construction activity
are controlled;
2. Where not otherwise required to be under a Water Board permit, all non-storm water
discharges are identified and either eliminated, controlled, or treated; and
3. Site Best Management Practices (BMPs) are effective and result in the reduction or elim-
ination of pollutants in stormwater discharges and authorized non-stormwater discharges
from construction activity to the Best Available/Best Conventional Technology (BAT/
BCT) standard.

The SWPPP shall be prepared by a Qualified SWPPP Developer. The SWPPP shall include the
minimum BMPs required for this type of project (based on final determination of the projects
Risk Level status, to be determined as part of the Notice of Intent for coverage under the
Construction General Permit). These include: BMPs for erosion and sediment control, site
management/housekeeping/waste management, management of non-stormwater discharges,
runon and runoff controls, and BMP inspection/maintenance/repair activities. BMP implemen-
tation shall be consistent with the BMP requirements in the most recent version of the
California Stormwater Quality Association Stormwater Best Management Handbook-
Construction.

The SWPPP shall include a construction site monitoring program that identifies requirements
for dry weather visual observations of pollutants at all discharge locations, and as appropriate
(depending on the Risk Level), sampling of the site effluent and receiving waters. A Qualified
SWPPP Practitioner shall be responsible for implementing the BMPs at the site and performing
all required monitoring and inspection/maintenance/repair activities.

Mitigation Measure HYD-2: The project applicant shall fully comply with the Water Board
stormwater permit requirements, including Provision C.3 of the MRP. This will require
preparation and implementation of a Stormwater Control Plan (SCP) for the project. The SCP
would act as the overall program document designed to provide measures to mitigate potential
water quality impacts associated with the operation of the proposed project. At a minimum, the
SCP for the project shall include:
1. An inventory and accounting of existing and proposed impervious areas.
2. Low Impact Development (LID) design details incorporated into the project. Specific LID
design may include, but is not limited to: using pervious pavements and green roofs,
dispersing runoff to landscaped areas, and/or routing runoff to rain gardens, cisterns,
swales, and other small-scale facilities distributed throughout the site.
3. Measures to address potential stormwater contaminants. These may include measures to
cover or control potential sources of stormwater pollutants at the project site.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

4. A Draft Stormwater Facility Operation and Maintenance Plan for the project site, which
will include periodic inspection and maintenance of the storm drainage system. Persons
responsible for performing and funding the requirements of this plan shall be identified.
This plan must be finalized prior to issuance of building permits for the project.
5. All stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces shall be treated with Bay-Friendly
Landscaping.
89

6. All stormwater treatment landscaping shall be maintained using a Bay-Friendly
Landscaping company or staff.

b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater
table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which
would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
(Less-Than-Significant Impact)

The proposed project would connect to the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) water
system and would not use groundwater during construction or operation. Although no use of ground-
water is proposed, some dewatering could potentially be required during construction activities.
Groundwater in the project vicinity has historically been encountered at depths as shallow as five feet
below the ground surface (bgs),
90
and therefore could be encountered during installation of utilities or
other below-grade features. Should significant excavation occur below this depth at the project site,
groundwater encountered in the excavation could require dewatering and disposal. Should ground-
water dewatering be required, groundwater management procedures would be included in the SWPPP
for the project (Mitigation Measure HYD-1) and permits would be required prior to discharge of the
dewatered groundwater to the storm or sanitary sewer.

Any dewatering activity would be expected to be temporary and affect only the uppermost water-
bearing zone, not the deeper regional aquifer. Therefore, the proposed project would not deplete
groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge. Once dewatering is
completed, groundwater would be expected to recharge completely. Groundwater recharge may also
be supplemented by increased stormwater infiltration resulting from an increase of pervious surfaces
created in accordance with Mitigation Measure HYD-2, implementing Provision C.3 of the MRP.
Therefore, the proposed project would have a less-than-significant impact on groundwater supplies
and groundwater recharge.

The Bay-Friendly Landscaping and Gardening Coalition is a Bay Area non-profit organization that encourages
practices designed to minimize the impact of landscaping on natural resources. The organization provides credentials in
Bay-Friendly Landscaping to landscape professionals and has developed scorecards to evaluate landscape design. In order
for a new civic, commercial, or multifamily project to be rated as Bay-Friendly, the landscaping must incorporate nine
required practices and score at least 60 points on the Bay-Friendly Scorecard for Civic and Commercial Landscapes. [Bay-

c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial
erosion or siltation on- or off-site? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

The project may potentially result in an alteration in drainage patterns due to changes in the amount
and locations of impervious surfaces at the project site. Although buildings and other paved areas
under the proposed project would be generally similar in area and location to existing conditions,
replacement of the existing natural turf athletic field with an artificial surface would result in changes
in the area and location of impervious surfaces. However, compliance with construction- and
operation-phase stormwater requirements (Mitigation Measures HYD-1 and HYD-2) would ensure
that development of the project would not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. No
additional mitigation is required.

d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? (Potentially

Implementation of operational phase stormwater requirements (Mitigation Measure HYD-2) would
ensure that runoff from the project site is not substantially increased, and therefore would not result in
flooding due to an increase in the rate and amount of surface drainage.

Development of the project has the potential to affect Temescal Creek, which is the primary drainage
outfall within the City of Emeryville. Temescal Creek is located in an underground concrete culvert
in the project vicinity, crossing the northeast corner of the project site and running along the south
side of 53
rd
Street. The culvert was constructed in 1963 in order to eliminate flooding and erosion
within the Creek drainage area. Any damage to the Creek culvert may therefore result in potential
flooding hazards.

The project geotechnical investigation noted that the Temescal Creek culvert, located approximately
11 feet below ground surface (bgs), was most likely not designed to support loads from overlying
buildings, and recommended that no building be located within the easement area of the culvert.
91
An
earlier, preliminary geotechnical investigation recommended that the culvert either be relocated off
the project site or that buildings within the creek easement area be designed to prevent any additional
loads on the culvert.
92

Implementation of the following mitigation measure would ensure that development does not result in
flooding due to damage of the Temescal Creek culvert from additional loads:

Mitigation Measure HYD-3: Prior to issuance of construction permits for the project site, any
building foundations located within the easement area of the Temescal Creek underground
culvert must be designed in accordance with written recommendations from a Certified
Engineering Geologist or Professional Engineer in order to eliminate any significant additional
horizontal or vertical loads on the existing concrete culvert.

e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? (Less-
Than-Significant Impact)

An evaluation of existing site drainage conditions at the project site concluded that the site drainage
system functions adequately with routine maintenance and cleaning, and that the City storm drainage
system had adequate capacity.
93
Implementation of a required SWPPP (Mitigation Measure HYD-1)
and a SCP (Mitigation Measure HYD-2) would be expected to reduce potential pollutants and result
in lower flows to the storm water drainage system than under current conditions. No additional
mitigation measures are required.

f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Construction and operation of the proposed project would not result in any substantial changes to on-
site water quality, with the exception of potential impacts associated with stormwater runoff.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures HYD-1 and HYD-2 would reduce potential impacts to water
quality to a less-than-significant level. No additional mitigation measures are required.

g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? (No Impact)

The proposed project does not include a housing component.

h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood
flows? (No Impact)

According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) prepared by the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency (FEMA), the project site is designated as Zone X, areas outside the 100-year and 500-
year flood hazard zones.
94
Therefore, development of the proposed project would not place any
structures within a 100-year flood hazard area.

i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding of as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

As noted in Section IX.h, above, the project site is not located in a mapped 100-year or 500-year
flood hazard zone.

The nearest dam to the project site is Temescal Dam, located approximately 3 miles east of the
project site. The project site is located within the mapped inundation hazard zone for the dam, and
could be flooded in the event of a dam failure.
95

In California, the Department of Water Resources, Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) has the
responsibility of protecting people from loss of life and property caused by dam failure.
96
The DSOD
accomplishes this goal by conducting annual inspections to ensure proper operation and maintenance
of dams. Temescal Dam is regularly inspected, and was described in the 2009 City General Plan as
having no concerns for stability, due to its wide cross section and buttressing from State Highway
24.
97
Regular inspections performed by DSOD would ensure that any safety concerns associated with
Temescal Dam would be identified early and corrected promptly and reduce the potential flooding
impact from dam failure to a less-than-significant level.

According to the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), a 16-inch
sea level rise is projected the San Francisco Bay by mid-century, during the operational lifetime of the
proposed project.
98
The sea level rise could affect coastal areas including shores, marshes, and
wetlands, and increase the salinity in rivers. However, according to mapping performed by BCDC,
the project site would not be vulnerable to flooding associated with sea level rise due to its elevation
of approximately 40 feet above mean sea level and location approximately 3,500 feet east of San
Francisco Bay.

As no significant risk of flooding due to mapped flood hazards, dam inundation, or sea level rise have
been identified for the project site, this impact is less than significant.

j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? (No Impact)

Seiches are standing waves in rivers, reservoirs, ponds, and lakes caused by an earthquake.
100
Areas
immediately adjacent to a water body are most vulnerable to flooding by a seiche because of their
proximity. The project site is located approximately 3,500 feet east of San Francisco Bay, which is
the nearest surface water body. Based on distance from potential sources of seiches, there is no
potential flooding impact associated with a seiche at the project site.

Tsunamis are waves created by sudden uplift of the sea floor during an earthquake.
101
According to
tsunami inundation maps developed by the California Geological Society (CGS), a potential tsunami
could inundate areas adjacent to San Francisco Bay, including coastal areas of Emeryville.
102

However since the project site is located more than 1,000 feet east of the mapped tsunami inundation
areas,
103
the project site would not be affected by flooding caused by a tsunami.

Mudflows are geologic hazards associated with mudslides, debris avalanches, or debris flows from
hillside or wildfire areas.
104
As discussed in Section VI.a, Geology and Soils, and Section VIII.h,
Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the project site is not located in or adjacent to an area prone to
landslide or wildland fire. Therefore, there is no potential impact associated with mudflow at the
project site.

X. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project:

a) Physically divide an established community?

b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or
regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project
(including, but not limited to the general plan, specific
plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted
for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?

c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or
natural community conservation plan?

a) Physically divide an established community? (No Impact)

The physical division of an established community typically refers to the construction of a physical
feature (such as an interstate highway or railroad tracks) or removal of a means of access (such as a
local road or bridge) that would impair mobility within an existing community, or between a commu-
nity and outlying areas. For instance, the construction of an interstate highway through an existing

community may constrain travel from one side of the community to another; similarly, such
construction may also impair travel to areas outside of the community.

The proposed project would not change access patterns around the project site or otherwise restrict
traffic flow on 47
th
and 53
rd
Street, San Pablo Avenue, or other streets in the vicinity of the project
site. The proposed turnaround island on 53
rd
Street would facilitate cars turning around to access the
school drop-off zone. Emergency vehicle access would be provided through 53
rd
and 47
th
Streets.
Additionally, pedestrian access via sidewalks along 47
th
rd
Street,
would remain unchanged. The proposed project would serve to better connect existing uses on the
project site and would not divide an established community. Therefore, no impact would occur.

b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction
over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal
program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmen-
tal effect? (Less-than-Significant Impact)

The project site is designated Public in the Citys General Plan Land Use Diagram, and the eastern
portion of the project site is within the San Pablo Avenue Urban Design Plan and Neighborhood
Retail Overlay designation. The San Pablo Avenue Urban Design Plan is a phased strategy for the
development of San Pablo Avenue into an active, attractive, neighborhood retail center.
105
The project
site is within the Public Use (P-U) District of the Citys Zoning Ordinance. The proposed project
would be consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the Citys Zoning Ordinance,
as described in detail below.

General Plan. The proposed project would be consistent with the Public designation in the
Citys General Plan. The appropriate uses for this designation include public and quasi-public uses,
such as government offices; fire and police facilities; schools; community services; transit stations
and ancillary facilities. In addition, the General Plan identifies the project site as an area of potential
change and supports the development of the proposed project (Policy PP-P-17), describing it as a
major public facility investment and a place that would serve as the focal point for community
gathering and social services in the City. The public use characteristics of the project would be
consistent with the Public land use designation.

Zoning Ordinance. The project site is within the Public Use (P-U) District and is classified as
a Community Education use in the Citys Zoning Ordinance. The Community Education use type
refers to educational services provided by public, private, or parochial institutions.
106
The maximum
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for uses in the P-U District is 1.2, and buildings have a height limit of 30
feet. However, a bonus height of up to 55 feet can be constructed at the project site if applicants
demonstrate that the project meets community goals. The approximate FAR for the proposed project
would be 0.38 FAR for Phase 1 and 0.47 FAR for Phase 2 (covered parking not included in Phase 2
FAR). The projects maximum building height would be 48 feet, 18 feet higher than the base height
allowed at this site, but within the 55 feet that can be built under the bonus height scenario.

XI. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:

a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral
resource that would be of value to the region and the
residents of the State?

b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important
mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local
general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?

a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region
and the residents of the State? (No Impact)

The proposed project is located within an urban area on a developed site. No known mineral
resources are present at the project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in
the loss of availability of a known mineral resource of value to the region or residents of the State,
and no impact would occur.

b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated
on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? (No Impact)

Refer to Section XI.a. The proposed project would not result in the loss of availability of any known
locally-important mineral resource recovery site.

XII. NOISE. Would the project result in:

a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in
excess of standards established in the local general plan
or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other
agencies?

b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive
ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels?

c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise
levels in the project vicinity above levels existing
without the project?

d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient
noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing
without the project?

e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or,
where such a plan has not been adopted, within two
miles of a public airport or public use airport, would
the project expose people residing or working in the

The City of Emeryville sets noise standards in the Emeryville General Plan and Noise Ordinance of
the Municipal Code. The City identifies exterior noise thresholds up to 65 dBA L
dn
as normally
acceptable for school and library land uses, while exterior noise levels between 65 dBA and 70 dBA
L
dn
are considered conditionally acceptable for such land uses.

The City of Emeryville regulates construction noise in the Citys Municipal Code Section 5-13.05,
Construction Noise Limits ordinance. This ordinance limits construction and demolition activities to
7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays; pile driving and extremely loud activities are limited to weekdays
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Construction and demolition activities are not permitted on weekends.
Preconstruction noise, including but not limited to loading and unloading, deliveries, truck idling,
yelling and radios, is also limited to the general construction noise hours.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

The Noise Ordinance Section 5-13.04 prohibits any person from making or permitting noise so as to
disturb or cause discomfort to any reasonable person of normal sensitivity located at the property line
of the property from which such noise is emanating before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday, or before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday. Prohibited noises
include, but are not limited to: loud or raucous yelling or shouting, whistling, or singing; band or
orchestral concert, rehearsals, or practices; and electronically or acoustically amplified sound.

Long-Term Noise Impacts
Traffic Noise Impacts. Implementation of the proposed project would result in an increase in
vehicle trips in the vicinity of the project site and an increase in traffic noise along road segments in
the project vicinity. Table 14 shows traffic noise levels for roadway segments in the project site
vicinity under existing no project and plus project conditions, and under cumulative no project and
plus project conditions. These 24-hour average weighted noise levels (L
dn
) are based on Average
Daily Trips as measured at 50 feet from the centerline of the outermost travel lane of the indicated
roadway segments. As shown in the table, the project would not generate enough traffic to create a
perceptible change (at least 3 dBA) in traffic noise in the project vicinity; nor would it result in traffic
noise levels that would exceed the Citys normally acceptable noise levels for the projects indicated
land uses (school or library land uses). Therefore, project related traffic noise impacts would be less-
than-significant.

Railroad Noise Impacts. The western project property line is located approximately 0.5 miles
(2,700 feet) east of the centerline of the Union Pacific railroad line. The nearest at-grade railroad
crossing is located on Addison Street, approximately 1.1 miles (5,750 feet) northwest of the project
site. The nearest Amtrak train station is located approximately 0.6 miles (3,350 feet) northwest of the
project site. According to Figure 6-10 of the Citys General Plan Noise Element, the western portion
of the project site lies within the 60 dBA L
dn
future projected noise contour for these railroad noise
sources. These noise levels are considered normally acceptable for school land uses. Therefore,
impacts to the proposed project from railroad noise sources would be less than significant.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Stationary Noise Impacts. Implementation of the proposed project could result in a substantial
increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project site with the expected increased use of
the proposed outdoor recreation facilities, including the installation and use of a PA system.

As noted previously, the Noise Ordinance Section 5-13.04 prohibits any person from making or
permitting noise so as to disturb or cause discomfort to any reasonable person of normal sensitivity
located at the property line of the property from which such noise is emanating before 7:00 a.m. or
after 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday.
Prohibited noises include, but are not limited to: loud or raucous yelling or shouting, whistling, or
singing; band or orchestral concert, rehearsals, or practices; and electronically or acoustically
amplified sound.

As noted previously, future uses located on the project site would include both school and public
uses. While it is anticipated that there would be approximately 780 students at the ECCL facility once
it is completed, the school structures would be built to accommodate a maximum of 1,120 students
and 90 teachers/staff. During school hours, public access to the portions of the project site used by the
K-12 grade students would be limited. Evening use of the projects outdoor sports facilities by the
school would be similar to what it is now, whereas community use of the facilities would increase.
Use of the outdoor facilities would include school sports events from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and
community youth and adult sports events from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Weekend use would include school lacrosse and track and field events and community youth soccer,
track, and pee-wee baseball events from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Adult softball league
events would occur from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays, while adult outdoor volleyball sporting
events would occur on Sundays from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The existing and projected hours of use
of the outdoor sporting facilities are shown in Tables 4 and 5 of the project description discussion.

Noise sources associated with use of the outdoor sports facilities would include noise from partici-
pants, spectators, and use of the proposed PA system. It should be noted that the outdoor facilities
(the track, baseball field, and multi-purpose field) are in approximately the same location as they were
under existing conditions. As shown in Tables 4 and 5 of the project description, spectator use and
total number of sporting events will increase over existing conditions. However, the proposed uses
worst case scenario of attendance of 225 spectators during a single time period would occur during
spring sporting events between the hours of 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. on weekday afternoons. The
maximum anticipated attendance under project conditions during a use-period time slot would only
represent an increase of 25 spectators over the existing uses worst case scenario of 200 spectators at
community youth football events. A characteristic of sound is that a doubling of a noise source is
required in order to result in a perceptible increase (3 dBA or greater) in outdoor ambient noise levels.
Therefore, because the project would not double spectator attendance it would not result in a
perceptible increase in ambient noise levels during any single use event time slot compared to noise
levels existing without the project. Similarly it can be shown that daily average total use will not
result in a substantial increase with implementation of the proposed project compared to existing
average uses of the project site.

While spectator and participant noise would not result in a substantial increase in ambient noise
levels, single event operational noise associated with use of the outside sports facilities could still
potentially result in evening and night time disturbance of noise sensitive receptors in the project
vicinity. To alleviate the potential for this type of disturbance, the proposed project will include the
construction of a 12-foot-high sound wall along the western property line extending from the edge of
J U N E 2 0 1 3

the property bordering 53
rd
Street to abut the existing wall bordering the outdoor pool facility. This
sound wall would be expected to provide a minimum of 8 dBA in reduction of noise from activities at
the outdoor recreational facilities for the residential land uses west of the project site. Therefore, with
implementation of this sound wall, potential single event operational noise levels associated with use
of the outside sports facilities would be reduced to levels similar to or below existing operational
noise levels, and would result in a less-than-significant impact on adjacent noise sensitive receptors.

At the time of this analysis, the final details of the PA system design and speaker location have not
been determined; however, final details of the PA system will comply with Mitigation Measures
NOISE-1a through NOISE-1d, described below. The proposed PA system would primarily be used
for school team events on weekday evenings from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from
12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. With these proposed use hours, use of the PA system would not result in
violation of the Citys Noise Ordinance Section 5-13.04. As noted previously, a 12 foot high sound
wall is proposed to be constructed as part of the project along the western property line, and is
expected to provide a minimum of 8 dBA in reduction of noise from activities on the outdoor
recreational facilities for the residential land uses west of the project site. However, even with
implementation of this wall, use of the proposed PA system could potentially result in substantial
temporary increases in ambient noise levels at sensitive receptors in the project vicinity. In order to
reduce this potential impact to less-than-significant, the speakers must be mounted and directionally
shielded to direct sound away from the residential properties west of the project site (i.e., directed to
the east and downward). In addition, the sound system shall be required to include a processor to
control the maximum output that the speakers can reach; so that even if the announcer shouts into the
microphone, the levels will be controlled to the maximum allowable level programmed into the
processor. The maximum output noise level shall be set to not exceed 75 dBA L
max
as measured at
any point on the receiving property of an off-site noise sensitive land use. This noise level limit would
prevent the use of the PA system from resulting in a substantial increase in interior noise levels at
adjoining sensitive land uses. In addition, use of the system shall be strictly limited to the hours of
7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday, to
comply with the requirements of the Noise Ordinance Section 5-13.04. Such restrictions would ensure
that operational noise levels would not result in a substantial increase in noise levels in the project
vicinity nor result in disturbance of or causing discomfort to any reasonable person of normal
sensitivity residing adjacent to project site.

To reduce these operational noise impacts, the following multi-part mitigation measure shall be
implemented:

Mitigation Measure NOISE-1a: The speakers of the proposed PA system shall be located and
shielded to directionally focus the emitted sound away from the residential land uses located
west of the project site.

Mitigation Measure NOISE-1b: The PA system shall include a processor to control the maxi-
mum output that the speakers can reach; so that even if the announcer shouts into the micro-
phone, the levels will be controlled to the maximum allowable level programmed into the
processor. The maximum output noise level shall be set to not exceed 75 dBA L
max
as measured
at any point on the receiving property of an off-site noise sensitive land use.

Mitigation Measure NOISE-1c: The hours of operation of the PA system shall be restricted in
order to not cause additional impacts related to sleep disturbance of nearby residential property
J U N E 2 0 1 3

owners and to comply with the Citys Noise Ordinance Section 5-13.04. The hours from 7:00
a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday
shall be considered permissible hours of operation, outside of which use of the system would be
prohibited in all but the most extraordinary of circumstances.

Mitigation Measure NOISE-1d: The project applicant shall provide to the City the final design
requirements of the PA system demonstrating compliance with Mitigation Measures NOISE-1a,
1b, and 1c.

Implementation of multi-part Mitigation Measure NOISE-1 would reduce operational noise levels so
as to not result in a substantial increase in ambient noise levels and to not exceed the requirements of
the Citys Noise Ordinance Section 5-13.04; and therefore, this impact would be less-than-significant.

Short-Term Noise Impacts
Project implementation would include demolition of all existing structures on the project site, with the
exception of the gymnasium, swimming pool, and adjacent locker and support spaces. The construc-
tion of the ECCL project is proposed in two phases. Phase 1 is anticipated to begin in 2013, and a
starting date for Phase 2 has not yet been identified.

Phase 1 would include construction of the Community Multi-Purpose Room, the Administration and
Community Services Building, the Community Library/Student Library/9 12 Grade Classrooms/
Science Lab Building, and the School Multi-Purpose/K-8 Grade Building. Phase 1 would also include
renovations to the existing gymnasium building, including the construction of girls and boys locker
rooms on the eastern side of the gymnasium, a dance/aerobics area, and community locker rooms
constructed on the western side. The outdoor sports field would be reconfigured to include installation
of a new track, spectator bleachers, night lighting, and a public address (PA) system. A new full
outdoor basketball court would be constructed immediately east of the gymnasium. Elementary
school play areas would also be installed on the project site. A play area would be located west of the
school multi-purpose building. A learning garden would be located north of the K-8 Building. A 9-12
grade social space would be located east of the basketball courts.

Phase 2 would include construction of a school gym, the teaching theater and additional classrooms.
Reallocation of uses within ECCL would occur with construction of Phase 2 (as shown in Figure 5).
The structures would be located on the area that includes basketball courts and over the parking lot, as
shown in the Phase 1 Conceptual Site Plan (Figure 4).

Project-related construction activities could expose nearby noise sensitive receptors to noise levels in
excess of established noise standards of the Noise Ordinance of the Municipal Code.

Two types of short-term noise impacts would occur during remediation and project construction. The
first type would result from the increase in traffic flow on local streets, associated with the transport
of workers, equipment, and materials to and from the project site. Heavy equipment for remediation
and construction is expected to be moved to the site and remain for the duration of the demolition and
construction phases. There would be short-term intermittent high noise levels associated with trucks
arriving at and departing from the project site, especially during the demolition and site preparation
phase of construction.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

The second type of short-term noise impact is related to the noise generated by heavy equipment
operating on the project site. Construction is performed in discrete steps, each of which has its own
mix of equipment and, consequently, its own noise characteristics. These various sequential phases
would change the character of the noise generated on the site and, therefore, the noise levels surround-
ing the site as construction progresses. Despite the variety in the type and size of construction equip-
ment, similarities in the dominant noise sources and patterns of operation allow construction-related
noise ranges to be categorized by work phase. Table 14 lists typical construction equipment noise
levels recommended for noise impact assessments, based on a distance of 50 feet between the
equipment and a noise receptor.

Demolition and construction activities at the
project site are expected to require the use of
earthmovers such as bulldozers and scrapers,
loaders and graders, water trucks, and haul
trucks. As shown in Table 14, the typical
maximum noise level generated by each
bulldozer on the project site is assumed to be
85 dBA L
max
at 50 feet from the operating
earthmover. The maximum noise level
generated by hydraulic backhoes is approxi-
mately 86 dBA L
max
at 50 feet. The maximum
noise level generated by haul trucks is
approximately 88 dBA L
max
at 50 feet from
these vehicles operating at full power. The use
of pile drivers is not expected during construc-
tion of this project.

Each doubling of the sound sources with equal
strength would increase the noise level by 3
dBA. Assuming each piece of construction
equipment operates at some distance apart
from the other equipment, the worst-case
combined noise level at the nearest uses to the
site during this phase of construction would be
91 dBA L
max
at 50 feet from the operating equipment. The nearest existing sensitive receivers in the
vicinity of the project site include the residences located west of the project site on Emery Bay Drive,
whose rear property boundaries border the project site. The closest onsite construction activity
requiring the use of heavy construction equipment would be the demolition of the project buildings on
the eastside of the gymnasium, approximately 300 feet from the western property boundary. At this
distance, construction-related noise levels from the use of heavy construction equipment would be
expected to attenuate to approximately 76 dBA L
max
.

Due to the short-term nature of this construction-related noise impact, it would be considered a less-
than-significant impact if each of the noise-reducing measures, described under Mitigation Measure
NOISE-2, is implemented.

Mitigation Measure NOISE-2a: The project contractor shall ensure that, unless the City Council
grants a waiver allowing different construction hours pursuant to Section 5-13.06 of the
Emeryville Municipal Code, construction hours shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. In an urgent situation, the City Manager, Planning and Building
Director, or Public Works Director may approve weekend or night work pursuant to Section 5-
13.05(e) of the Emeryville Municipal Code.

Mitigation Measure NOISE-2b: The construction contractor shall ensure that all heavy
construction equipment used on the project shall be maintained in good operating condition,
with all internal combustion, engine-driven equipment equipped with intake and exhaust
mufflers that are in good condition as deemed to be practically feasible. All non-impact tools
shall be operated so as to meet a maximum noise level of no more than 85 dB when measured
at a distance of 50 feet. Where feasible, the project contractor shall place all stationary con-
struction 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 noise-sensitive receptors
nearest the project site during construction.

Mitigation Measure NOISE-2c: The project applicant shall designate a Noise Disturbance
Coordinator who shall be responsible for responding to any complaints about construction
noise. The Noise Disturbance Coordinator shall determine the cause of the noise complaint and
shall require that reasonable measures warranted to correct the problem be implemented. The
applicant shall conspicuously post a telephone number for the Noise Disturbance Coordinator
at the construction site and include it in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction
schedule.

Implementation of multi-part Mitigation Measure NOISE-2 would reduce temporary construction
noise impacts to less-than-significant.

b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise
levels? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

Refer to Section XII.a. No permanent noise sources that would expose persons to excessive ground-
borne vibration or noise levels would be located within the project site. Construction activities associ-
ated with implementation of the proposed project are not expected to result in excessive groundborne
vibration or groundborne noise levels with implementation of all components of multi-part Mitigation
Measure NOISE-2. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not permanently expose
persons within or around the project site to excessive groundborne vibration or noise.

c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Refer to Section XII.a and XII.d. Implementation of the proposed project would result in increases in
traffic noise levels on local roadways in the project vicinity ranging up to 0.2 dBA L
dn
under existing
plus project conditions and up to 0.5 dBA L
dn
under cumulative plus project conditions. Audible
increases in noise levels generally refer to a change of 3 dB or more, as this level has been found to
be barely perceptible to the human ear in outdoor environments. Therefore, these project related
traffic noise increases would not be substantial and would be considered less-than-significant.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Implementation of the project would result in increased operational noise levels resulting from the
noise sources (such as the proposed PA system) and from increased attendance at sporting events.
However, as shown in the discussion in Section XII.a, conscientious implementation of Mitigation
Measure NOISE-1 would reduce operational noise impacts from stationary sources to less-than-
significant.

Therefore, the project would not result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in
the project vicinity above levels existing without the project, and this impact would be less-than-
significant with implementation of the specified mitigation.

d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above
levels existing without the project? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

Refer to Section XII.a. Project-related construction activities could result in high intermittent noise
levels of up to 76 dBA L
max
at nearby land uses. This noise would result from the temporary use of
construction equipment. Implementation of Mitigation Measure NOISE-2, including permissible
hours of construction, would reduce potential impacts associated with construction-related noise to a
less-than-significant level.

As previously described, use of the proposed PA system could potentially result in a substantial
temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels at sensitive receptors in the project vicinity.
However, as described in the impact discussion of Section XI.a, implementation of multi-part
Mitigation Measure NOISE-1 would reduce this potential noise impact to less-than-significant.

e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (No Impact)

The project site is located approximately 7.5 miles north of Oakland International Airport (the nearest
airport) and 15 miles northeast of San Francisco International Airport. Due to the distance from these
two airports and the orientation of the runways and flight patterns, the project site does not lie within
the 55 dBA CNEL noise contours of any airport. Therefore, the impact of noise levels from aviation
sources would be less than significant.

f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (No Impact)

The project site is not located in the vicinity of a private airstrip, and no impact would occur.

XIII. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:

a) Induce substantial population growth in an area,
either directly (for example, by proposing new
homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example,
through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?

b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing,
necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?

c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating
the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?

a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new
homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)? (No Impact)

The proposed project does not include housing, and therefore would not directly induce population
growth on the project site. In addition, the project would not result in the extension of infrastructure
or roadways within the sites vicinity. The proposed project would not directly or indirectly induce
substantial population growth on the project site or in the surrounding area.

b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere? (No Impact)

The project site does not include residential units, and no housing is located on the project site.
Construction of the proposed project would not displace any housing.

c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere? (No Impact)

The project site does not include residential units, and implementation of the proposed project would
not remove existing housing or displace residents.

XIV. PUBLIC SERVICES.

a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical
impacts associated with the provision of new or
physically altered governmental facilities, need for new
or physically altered governmental facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable
service ratios, response times or other performance
objectives for any of the public services:

Fire protection?

Police protection?

Schools?

Parks?

Other public facilities?

a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of
new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmen-
tal facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to
maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the
public services: Fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, other public facilities? (Less-
than-Significant Impact)

The following section addresses the projects potential effects on: fire services, police service,
schools, parks, and other public facilities. Creation of the need for new public services is not an
environmental impact in and of itself. However, impacts to public services would occur if the project
increased demand for services such that new or expanded facilities would be required, and these new
facilities would themselves cause environmental impacts.

Fire Protection. As of July 2012, the City of Emeryville has contracted with the Alameda
County Fire Department (ACFD) to provide fire protection and emergency medical services. The
ACFD also provides services to unincorporated areas of Alameda County in addition to the cities of
Dublin, Newark, San Leandro, Union City, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
107
The ACFD operates 30 fire stations including 27 engine

companies, seven ladder truck companies, and one heavy rescue vehicle.
108
Currently, the ACFD has
112 sworn firefighters assigned on a daily basis.
109
In the City of Emeryville, ACFD has six fire-
fighters assigned to two engine companies on a daily basis, and each engine company has at least one
paramedic assigned at all times.
110

Primary service to the project site would be provided by Alameda County Fire Station 35, located at
6303 Hollis Street, approximately 1 mile northwest of the project site. Station 35 is staffed by three
firefighters, including a paramedic. ACFD provides a Type I Hazardous Materials Team response to
the City of Emeryville. The closest ACFD hazardous materials response unit is located at the
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, with additional personnel and response units available from the City
of San Leandro, Castro Valley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Additionally, ACFD
has mutual aid agreements with the cities of Oakland and Berkeley for hazardous materials response.
ACFD has an automatic aid agreement with the City of Oakland to provide an engine, truck and
battalion chief response. The Oakland Fire Department truck has a 100-foot aerial ladder, use of
which depends on building height and setbacks to the street. ACFD also has a rescue company
capable of high angle rescue for taller buildings.
111

During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the ACFD responded to 31,887 calls for service 952 calls for fires
and 23,038 medical calls; the remainder included calls regarding hazardous materials, good intent,
and false alarms.
112
For single unit incidents, the response time for emergency medical service calls
is within seven minutes or less from the time the company is first dispatched 90 percent of the time.
113

Development of the proposed project would increase the daytime population on the site, incremen-
tally increasing the demand for emergency fire services. However, the project site is currently
developed and served by the ACFD. Project buildings would be up to 48 feet tall and would be one to
two stories higher than most surrounding structures; however, the ACFD has the appropriate equip-
ment to access taller buildings. The potential increase is not expected to be substantial and would not
adversely affect existing response times to the site or within the City.

The proposed project would be required to comply with all applicable codes for fire safety and
emergency access. Redevelopment of the site with new and upgraded facilities may actually reduce
the demands on firefighting services as new buildings would be built to comply with the most current
Fire Code provisions.

The ACFD would provide services to the project site. In addition, through the ACFD, Emeryville will
have increased emergency response through partnerships and contracts with neighboring jurisdictions,
the Alameda County mutual aid system, and the California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System.
114

The construction of new or expanded fire stations would not be required. The proposed project would
not result in a substantial adverse physical impact associated with the provision of additional fire
facilities or services.

Police Protection. The Emeryville Police Department provides police protection services to the
project site. Police headquarters are located at 2449 Powell Street, approximately 1.5 miles west of
the project site. The Police Department currently consists of 38 sworn officers and 17 civilian staff.
115

Primary law enforcement concerns in this area include traffic, homelessness, theft, and public
intoxication.
116
In 2012, the Police Department responded to 34,707 calls for service.
117
As noted in
the Citys General Plan, the Police Department does not have service ratios or formal response
standards.
118
While no formal response standards have been adopted, it aims to respond to emergency
calls in two minutes and to non-emergency calls in six minutes.
119
Currently, citywide response time
for Priority 1 calls (life-threatening situations) is four to five minutes from the time of dispatch, and
five to six minutes for non-emergency calls.
120

Development of the proposed project would increase the daytime population on the site, incremen-
tally increasing the demand for police services. However, this daytime population includes existing
students and residents, and the project would not increase the residential population within the City.
The Police Department indicated that crimes have increased by 31 percent from 2011 to 2012.

As of April 2013, the City of Emeryville and the District are jointly applying for federal grant funding
from the U.S. Department of Justices Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS). COPS
advances the practice of community policing in State, local and tribal law enforcement agencies.
121
If
awarded with the COPS grant, the City and District would use the funding to provide a School
Resource Officer for the project site.

Creation of the need for police services is not an environmental impact in and of itself. However, if
the project necessitates new police facilities, the construction of such facilities could lead to impacts.
Therefore, the project would have a significant impact on police services if it would result in
substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered police

facilities or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which
could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios,
response times or other performance objectives for police services. The construction of new or
expanded police facilities would not be required. Additionally, the Police Department has no formal
response standard. The proposed project would not result in a substantial adverse physical impact
associated with the provision of additional police facilities or services.

Schools. The Emery Unified School District operates two schools, Anna Yates Elementary
School (grades K-7), located at 1070 41
st
Street and Emery Secondary School (grades 8-12), located
on the project site. During the 2010-2011 school year, there were approximately 352 students
attending Emery Secondary School. The proposed school structures would accommodate a maximum
of 1,120 students and therefore would have adequate capacity to accommodate existing and future
students.

The proposed project would result in the redevelopment of an existing school; other than requiring
relocation during construction, the project would not affect the Districts existing school population
or increase school enrollment. All physical environmental impacts associated with this project are
identified and described within this IS/MND.

Parks. Parks located near the project site include the 0.7-acre Temescal Creek Park, located
approximately 0.3 mile east of the project site at Adeline and 47
th
Streets; the 1.74-acre Stanford
Avenue Park at Stanford Avenue and Doyle Street, located approximately 0.4 mile northwest of the
project site; and the 1.25 -acre Doyle Hollis Park, located 0.7 mile northwest of the project site at
1333 62
nd
Street. Recreational facilities located near the project site are within mile of the site and
include the following: Bridgecourt Room (3900 Harlan Street), Recreation Center (4300 San Pablo
Avenue), and Senior Center (4321 Salem Street).
122

The proposed project would accommodate future population growth identified in the Emeryville
General Plan, and would not directly or indirectly increase housing on the project site or in the
surrounding area, and therefore would not significantly increase the use of these parks within the
City. The proposed project would not adversely affect the physical conditions of existing local and
regional open space areas or recreational facilities, or require the provision of new parks or facilities.
In addition, the proposed project would provide recreational facilities, including a sports field, a track,
basketball courts, school play areas, and common outdoor spaces. The provision of common open and
recreational space on the site would further ensure that the projects impacts on local parks and
recreational facilities would be less than significant.

Other Public Facilities. The proposed project would provide community facilities for students,
staff, and the Emeryville community. The proposed project includes the development of other public
facilities, including a community multi-purpose room, community services building, and community
and student libraries. Because of the built-out nature of Emeryville, development of such community
facilities are not likely to have significant environmental effects. These proposed facilities would be
constructed on already-developed land currently occupied by existing buildings, portable classrooms,

and a surface parking lot. The increased daytime population on the project site during operation hours
that would result from the project is not expected to result in substantially increased usage of these
new facilities.

XV. RECREATION.

a) Would the project increase the use of existing
neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational
facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of
the facility would occur or be accelerated?

b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require
the construction or expansion of recreational facilities
which might have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?

a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or
be accelerated? (Less-than-Significant Impact)

As discussed in Section XIV, the proposed project would accommodate future population growth, and
would not directly or indirectly generate population growth on the project site or in the surrounding
area. Students, staff, and community users of the project site could use local parks and recreational
facilities in the vicinity of the project site; however, this incremental increase in use of area parks is
not expected to result in substantial deterioration of local parks.

The nearest regional parks and other recreational facilities include the San Francisco Bay Trail,
located approximately 1.5 mile west of the project site, the Eastshore State Park, located approxi-
mately 3 miles northwest of the project site, and regional parks in the Berkeley/Oakland Hills such as
Lake Temescal and Tilden Regional Park (both owned by the East Bay Regional Parks District),
located approximately 4 to 8 miles east of the project site. Although the project could incrementally
increase use of community and regional recreation facilities, this minor increase is not expected to
result in substantial physical deterioration of these facilities. Use of local and regional parks would be
distributed over several locations on any given day.

In addition, the proposed project would provide open space and recreational facilities such as a sports
field, a track, basketball courts, school play areas, and common outdoor spaces within the project site
for use by students, staff, and the public. The provision of common open and recreational space on
the site would further ensure that the projects impacts on local parks and recreational facilities would
be less than significant.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? (Less-
than-Significant Impact)

The proposed project would include the renovation and construction of recreational facilities. The
proposed project includes the renovation of the existing gymnasium, reconfiguration of the existing
sports field, the construction of a track, basketball courts, school play areas, common outdoor spaces
(including terraces and elevated walkways), and other public facilities, such as a community multi-
purpose room, community services building, and community and student libraries.

As described in Section XIV, because of the built-out nature of Emeryville, development of such
recreational facilities are not likely to have significant environmental effects. These proposed
facilities would be constructed on already-developed land currently occupied by existing buildings,
portable classrooms, and a surface parking lot, and would not result in substantial adverse physical
impacts.

XVI. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project:

a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy
establishing measures of effectiveness for the
performance of the circulation system, taking into
account all modes of transportation including mass
transit and non-motorized travel and relevant
components of the circulation system, including but not
limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways,
pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit?

b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management
program, including, but not limited to level of service
standards and travel demand measures, or other
standards established by the county congestion
management agency for designated roads or highways?

c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either
an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that
results in substantial safety risks?

d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?

The study evaluates the transportation impacts that would result
from the proposed project, including impacts associated with traffic congestion, transit ridership, and
pedestrian and bike circulation. Please see Appendix E for additional details.

Overview
Project impacts on the study area roadway facilities were determined by measuring the effect project
traffic would have on operations of key intersections during the morning (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.),
afternoon (2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.) and evening (4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) peak periods. The study
intersections, chosen in consultation with City of Emeryville staff, are listed below and shown on
Figure 19. These intersections were selected in consultation with the District and the City of
Emeryville as they provide primary access to the site and would be the intersections most likely to
experience increased congestion with the project.

Existing Conditions With Project Existing (2011/2012) conditions plus project-related
traffic.
Cumulative Conditions Without Project Future forecast conditions (2030) based on the
City of Emeryville General Plan build-out and planned roadway improvements.
Cumulative Conditions With Project Future forecast conditions (2030) based on the City

related traffic.

Analysis Methods
The operations of roadway facilities are described with the term level of service (LOS). LOS is a
qualitative description of traffic flow based on such factors as speed, travel time, delay, and freedom
to maneuver. Six levels are defined from LOS A, with the best operating conditions, to LOS F, with
the worst operating conditions. LOS E represents at-capacity operations. Operations are designated
as LOS F when volumes exceed capacity, resulting in stop-and-go conditions. The City of Emeryville
does not have a level of service policy for vehicles, but strives to achieve a Quality of Service.
Quality of Service recognizes that people travel by a variety of modes, not just in vehicles, and that
the use of an auto-focused level of service standard does not address the mobility needs for non-auto
roadway users.

Level of service can also be calculated for active modes and transit. A multi-modal level of service
(MMLOS) analysis is also presented. This method uses the same six levels of service categories as
auto LOS; however, MMLOS calculates discrete service levels for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, and
autos. The MMLOS analysis is presented later in this section.

Intersection Analysis. Traffic conditions at intersections were evaluated using the LOS
method developed by the Transportation Research Board (TRB), as documented in the 2000 Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM). Although the Transportation Research Board has recently published the
2010 HCM, the City of Emeryville has not yet adopted the analysis procedures prescribed in the 2010
HCM. Analysis methods and significance thresholds are presented below.

Signalized Intersections. At signalized intersections, the HCM method calculates control delay
at an intersection based on average control vehicular delay, using the method described in Chapter 16
of the 2000 HCM. Inputs to the analysis include traffic volumes, lane geometry, signal phasing and
timing, pedestrian crossing times, and peak hour factors. Control delay is defined as the delay directly
associated with the traffic control device (i.e., a stop sign or a traffic signal) and specifically includes
initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay. These
delay estimates are considered meaningful indicators of driver discomfort and frustration, fuel
consumption and lost travel time. The relationship between average control delay and LOS for
signalized intersections is summarized in Table 16.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

Table 16: Signalized Intersection Level of Service Criteria
Level of Service Description Delay in Seconds
A
Progression is extremely favorable and most vehicles arrive during
the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle
lengths may also contribute to low delay.
< 10.0
B
Progression is good, cycle lengths are short, or both. More
vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher levels of average
delay.
> 10.0 to 20.0
C
Higher congestion may result from fair progression, longer cycle
lengths, or both. Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at
this level, though many still pass through the intersection without
stopping.
> 20.0 to 35.0
D
The influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer
delays may result from some combination of unfavorable
progression, long cycle lengths, or high V/C ratios. Many vehicles
stop, and the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines.
Individual cycle failures are noticeable.
> 35.0 to 55.0
E
This level is considered by many agencies to be the limit of
acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate poor
progression, long cycle lengths, and high V/C ratios. Individual
cycle failures are frequent occurrences.
> 55.0 to 80.0
F
This level is considered unacceptable with oversaturation, which is
when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersection.
This level may also occur at high V/C ratios below 1.0 with many
individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths
may also be contributing factors to such delay levels.
> 80.0
Source: Transportation Research Board, 2000. Highway Capacity Manual.

Unsignalized Intersections. Operations of the unsignalized intersections were evaluated using
the method contained in Chapter 17 of the 2000 HCM. The LOS rating is based on the weighted
average control delay expressed in seconds per vehicle, as shown in Table 17. At two-way or side-
street stop-controlled intersections, LOS is calculated for each controlled movement, the left-turn
movement from the major street, as well as for the intersection as a whole. For approaches composed
of a single lane, the delay is computed as the average of all movements in that lane. For all-way stop
controlled locations, LOS is computed for the intersection as a whole.

Table 17: Unsignalized Intersection Level of Service Criteria
Level of
Service
Description
Average Control Per Vehicle
(Seconds)
a

A Little or no delays < 10.0
B Short traffic delays > 10.0 to 15.0
C Average traffic delays > 15.0 to 25.0
D Long traffic delays > 25.0 to 35.0
E Very long traffic delays > 35.0 to 50.0
F Extreme traffic delays with intersection capacity exceeded > 50.0

J U N E 2 0 1 3

Multi-Modal Level of Service. Multi-Modal Level of Service (MMLOS) calculations are
presented at the link and segment levels for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, and autos. Inputs for each
mode include criteria such as:
Pedestrian: peak hour vehicle volume, speed limit, number of vehicle lanes, lane width in
feet, parking occupancy, clear sidewalk space, presence of a continuous barrier, and length
of continuous facilities.
Bicycle: block length, bicycle lane width, pavement condition, peak hour vehicle volume,
number of vehicle lanes, speed limit, parking occupancy, and shoulder width.
Transit: number of bus lines and bus stops, near side stops, bus stop amenities, exclusive
transit lanes, average dwell time, on-time performance, and load factor.
Auto: percent green per cycle for through movement, number of vehicle lanes, number of
through lanes at intersection, lane width, peak hour vehicle volume, speed limit, inter-
section control type, signal coordination, signal cycle length, and median type.

Table 18 shows the 2010 HCM MMLOS criteria. Based on recently published sensitivity analysis
(Fehr & Peers, 2013), there are limitations to this approach and some built environment factors can
produce counterintuitive results when using the HCM MMLOS method. However, MMLOS can
provide a supplementary metric to better understand the trade-offs and impacts to walking, biking,
and transit associated with improving auto LOS.

3.50 < score < <=4.25 0.49 < score <=0.40 D
4.25 < score <= 5.00 0.39 < score <= 0.30 E
Score > 5.00 Score > 0.30 F

Significance Criteria
According to the City of Emeryville, a significant traffic-related impact would occur if:
The project would conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing
measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account
all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant
components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets,
highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit. A significant
impact could be identified:
If a signalized intersection is projected to operate within expected delay ranges (i.e.,
LOS D or better with an average control delay of equal to or less than 55 seconds per
vehicle) without the project and the project is expected to cause the facility to operate
at an unacceptable LOS (LOS E or F);
J U N E 2 0 1 3

If an intersection is projected to operate at or over capacity (i.e., LOS E or F) without
the project, and the project is expected to increase the average control delay by more
than 5 seconds; or
If the operations of an unsignalized study intersection is projected to decline with the
addition of project traffic, and if the installation of a traffic signal based on the Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Peak Hour Signal Warrant (Warrant 3)
would be warranted.
For intersections that meet the above criteria, capacity enhancing measures that do not degrade other
modes of travel should be considered, including upgrading signal equipment, extending left-turn
pocket storage, providing non-motorized facilities to reduce vehicular demand, or enhancing transit
access to a site.
The project would conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including
but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads and
highways:
Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, an LOS standard established by the
Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) for designated roads or
highways;
For a roadway segment of the ACTC Congestion Management Program (CMP)
Network, the project would cause (a) the LOS to degrade from LOS E or better to LOS
F or (b) the V/C ratio to increase 0.03 or more for a roadway segment that would
operate at LOS F without the project; or
Cause congestion of regional significance on a roadway segment on the Metropolitan
Transportation System (MTS) evaluated per the requirements of the Land Use Analysis
Program of the CMP.
The project results in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic
levels or a change in location that result in substantial safety risks;
The project substantially increases traffic hazards due to a design feature (e.g. sharp curves
or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment);
The project results in inadequate emergency access;
The project conflicts with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit,
bicycle or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such
facilities;
A pedestrian or bicycle impact is considered significant if it would:
Disrupt existing pedestrian facilities;
Interfere with planned pedestrian facilities; or
Create inconsistencies with adopted pedestrian system plans, guidelines, policies, or
standards.
A bicycle impact is considered significant if it would:
Disrupt existing bicycle facilities;
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Interfere with planned bicycle facilities;
Create inconsistencies with adopted bicycle system plans, guidelines, policies, or
standards; or
Not provide secure and safe bicycle parking in adequate proportion to anticipated
demand.
A transit impact is considered significant if it would result in development that is
inaccessible to transit riders.

Caltrans Facilities
Caltrans endeavors to maintain a target LOS at the transition between LOS C and LOS D on State
Highway facilities.
124
However, Caltrans recognizes that achieving LOS C/LOS D may not always be
feasible. A standard of LOS E or better on a peak hour basis was used as the planning objective for
the evaluation of potential impacts to Caltrans facilities of this development (San Pablo Avenue) as
that is the standard set for San Pablo Avenue in the study area by the ACTC. The following criteria
were used to evaluate potential impacts to Caltrans facilities:
If a Caltrans facility is projected to operate at LOS E or better without the project and the
project is expected to cause the facility to operate at LOS F, the impact may be considered
significant.
If a Caltrans facility is projected to operate at LOS F without the project and the project is
expected to increase delay, the impact may be considered significant.

Existing Conditions
The following describes transportation facilities in the project area, including the surrounding
roadway network, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities in the vicinity of the project site.

Roadway System. The project site is located in the City of Emeryville, adjacent to the City of
Oakland. In the study area, the City of Oakland boundary falls along 53
rd
Street/Temescal Creek to
the north and Boyer Street/Vallejo Street to the west. The project site is located within the block
bound by San Pablo Avenue to the east, 53
rd
Street to the north, 47
th
Street to the south, and single-
family houses abutting the site to the west. Emery Secondary School (grades 8-12) and its associated
athletics fields currently occupy the site. Other roadways in the study area include Doyle Street and
45
th
Street. The roadways in the study area are described below and their locations in relation to the
site are shown on Figure 19.
San Pablo Avenue (SR 123) is a major north-south arterial that forms the eastern border of
the site and provides an important inter-city link between Oakland and Richmond. As a
designated State route through Emeryville, Caltrans is responsible for roadway mainte-
nance and signal operations. Within the study area, San Pablo Avenue is median-separated
with two vehicular lanes in each direction. The street is a local commercial corridor, and
on-street parking is permitted on both sides of the street. San Pablo Avenue is also a local
truck route. Sidewalks are continuous along San Pablo Avenue and the posted speed limit

is 30 miles per hour (mph) within the study area. San Pablo Avenue is a designated transit
street in the Emeryville General Plan.
Hollis Street is a two-lane north-south arterial connecting Folger Avenue to the north in
Berkeley with Peralta Street in the City of Oakland. Hollis Street has sidewalks and on-
street parking on both sides of the street. Land uses along Hollis Street consist of
commercial and industrial uses, with some high density residential uses. Hollis Street is a
designated transit street in the Emeryville General Plan and has a posted speed limit of 30
mph.
53
rd

parking on both sides of the street. Adjacent uses in the study area consist of single-family
residential uses as well as commercial and industrial uses to the west.
47
th
Street is an east-west local roadway that forms the southern boundary of the project
site. 47
th
Street extends between Doyle Street and Adeline Street within the study area. A
full diverter at 47
th
Street/Salem Street prevents east-west through traffic between San
Pablo Avenue and Adeline Street. The two-lane roadway has sidewalks and on-street
parking on both sides of the street. East of San Pablo Avenue, 47
th
Street has bicycle lanes
in both directions. On-street parking is allowed on 47
th
Street.
45
th
Street is a two-lane east-west roadway to the south of the project site. The street is
designated as a bicycle boulevard from Horton Street to San Pablo Avenue. 45
th
Street
between Hollis Street and San Pablo Avenue is a designated bicycle boulevard.
Doyle Street, within the study area, is a one-block long, north-south roadway connecting
47
th
and 45
th
Streets. Adjacent uses consist of commercial uses and an AC Transit bus yard.
Boyer Street is a one-block long, north-south roadway connecting 54
th
and 53
rd
Streets.
Adjacent uses are single-family residential.

Pedestrian Facilities. Pedestrian facilities include sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian
signals. Sidewalks are provided on the north (53
rd
Street), east (San Pablo Avenue), and south (47
th

Street) sides of the site. The west side of the site abuts private development. Sidewalk widths are
approximately 12 feet adjacent to the existing school on 47
th
Street and 5 feet along the 53
rd
Street
frontage. Along the San Pablo Ave frontage, sidewalks are approximately 10 feet wide, but a land-
scape buffer reduces the pedestrian clearing. Pedestrian volumes through the study intersections are
presented on Figure 20.

Yellow school crosswalks are marked at the signalized San Pablo Avenue/53
rd
Street intersection on
the east, south, and west approaches and San Pablo Avenue/47
th
Street at all approaches. Crosswalks
on San Pablo Avenue are not marked at 48
th
Street. The stop-controlled intersection at Boyer Street/
53
rd
Street has yellow school crosswalks on the north and east approaches.

South of the project site, a high-visibility mid-block crosswalk is provided at the north leg San Pablo
Avenue/45

Bicycle Facilities. Bicycle facilities include the following:
Bike paths (Class I) Paved trails that are separated from roadways.
Bike lanes (Class II) Lanes on roadways designated for use by bicycles through striping,
pavement legends, and signs.
Bike routes (Class III) Designated roadways for bicycle use by signs only; may or may
not include additional pavement width for cyclists.
Bicycle boulevards Designated low-volume roadways for use by bicycles through
signage, pavement markings, intersection crossing treatments, traffic calming, and traffic
diversion.

45
th
Street between Horton Street and Adeline Street is a designated bicycle boulevard. West of San
Pablo Avenue, the bicycle boulevard is marked with oversized BIKE BLVD pavement legends
centered on the travel lane. A mid-block Class I path paralleling and approximately 200 feet west of
San Pablo Avenue connects 45
th
Street and Park Avenue. The City of Emeryville Pedestrian and
Bicycle Plan
125
identifies future Class I connections between 45
th
Street and 47
th
Street, west of San
Pablo Boulevard and along the west side of the site connecting 53
rd
Street to 47
th
Street. Spur Alley
between 53
rd
Street and 45
th
Street is a Class III bike route. 53
rd
Street between Horton Street and San
Pablo Avenue is a designated bicycle boulevard and continues as a Class III bike route to the east of
San Pablo Avenue into Oakland. A connection between Spur Alley and Doyle Street is also identified
in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan, as well as a Class I path along the western boundary of the project
site connecting 53
rd
Street to 47
th
Street. East of the study area, bicycle lanes on Adeline Street
provide north-south access through Emeryville. Bicycle volumes through the study intersections are
presented on Figure 20.

Existing Transit Service. AC Transit and Emery-Go-Round provide transit service within the
study area, connecting to neighboring cities in the East Bay as well as the MacArthur BART Station
and Downtown Oakland. Emery-Go-Round provides service at 10 minute headways during peak hour
and 20 minute headways in the off-peak. AC Transit provides 12 to 20 minute headways during the
weekdays. Transit routes in the vicinity of the project site are shown on Figure 21 along with the stop
locations in the immediate vicinity of the site.

AC Transit. The following AC Transit bus routes operate in the vicinity of the site:

Existing Intersection Level of Service. Existing operations were evaluated for the weekday
AM, afternoon, and PM peak hours at the study intersections, as summarized in Table 19, based on
the lane configurations, traffic control, and volumes shown on Figure 22. Pedestrian and bicycle
activity through the intersections was also factored into the analysis and peak hour factors were used
to account for the variation in traffic volumes during the peak hour. The all-way stop-controlled
intersection of Hollis Street/45
th
Street operates at a LOS E during the PM peak hour. The remaining
study intersections operate at an overall LOS B or better during the AM, afternoon and PM peak
hours, indicating good operations with little delay. Detailed intersection LOS calculation worksheets
are presented in Appendix E.

Queing. A vehicle queue assessment was conducted for the study intersections. This evaluation
was performed to determine if vehicle queues extend beyond the available storage and potentially
block traffic, such as queues from a left-turn pocket blocking through traffic, or through movement
J U N E 2 0 1 3

queues extending to adjacent intersections. Queue spillback can result in worse service levels than
reported in this study if not accounted for.

The analysis tool Synchro 7.0 was used to calculate the 95
th
percentile left-turn queue for signalized
and unsignalized intersections. The analysis results show that vehicle storage provided at the turn-
pockets in the study area is generally sufficient to accommodate the existing 95
th
percentile vehicle
queues. This was confirmed during field observations during the analysis periods. Queue worksheets
for signalized and unsignalized intersections are located in Appendix E.

Signal Warrants. To assess the need for signalization of stop-controlled intersections, the peak
hour volume and peak hour delay warrants are used in this study as a supplemental analysis tool to
assess operations at unsignalized intersections. The signal warrant analysis is intended to examine the
general correlation between the existing and future traffic conditions and the need to install new
traffic signals. The results of the traffic signal warrant analysis indicate that neither the peak hour
volume or peak hour delay traffic signal warrant is satisfied at any of the unsignalized study intersec-
tions. Signal warrant worksheets are provided in Appendix E. Although not currently warranted, the
City of Emeryville does plan to signalize the Hollis Street/45

Multi-Modal Level of Service. Intersection operations were evaluated for vehicles as previ-
ously presented in in Table 19. Results of the multi-model level of service are presented in Table 20
for the San Pablo Avenue corridor along the project frontage. The Pedestrian LOS is LOS C, which
considers the clear sidewalk width on the corridor as well as the high peak hour vehicle volume. The
Bicycle LOS D reflects the lack of bicycle facilities on San Pablo Avenue and the high peak hour
traffic volumes. The Transit LOS C score indicates bus frequency as well as dwell time and on-time
performance factors. Auto LOS on the corridor responds to peak hour volume, number of auto lanes
at the downstream intersection, and the percent of green time at signal lights.

Neighborhood Traffic. A comprehensive set of traffic calming measures were recently
installed in the Triangle Neighborhood, generally located in the triangle bound on the west by San
Pablo Avenue, on the east by Adeline Street and south of Temescal Creek. Measures such as street
closures, traffic circles, and speed bumps were installed. Traffic volumes on 41
st
, 45
th
, Salem, Essex,
47
th
and 48
th
Streets are within the expected range of a residential street with less than 3,000 vehicles
per day. Adeline Street carries between 6,000 and 7,000 vehicles on a typical weekday. 43
rd
Street
carries over 3,000 vehicles on a typical day. Some of that traffic is likely associated with Anna Yates
Elementary school and with relocation of those students to the project site after construction of the
proposed project, traffic volumes would likely decrease on 43rd Street.

Since the installation of traffic calming devices to discourage through traffic from traveling through
the Triangle Neighborhood streets, traffic volumes have decreased on all streets except 48
th
Street and
a portion of Salem Street, with the total traffic traveling through the neighborhood decreasing by over
2,000 vehicles per day.

Trip Generation
Trip generation refers to the process of estimating the amount of vehicular traffic a project might add
to the local roadway network. In addition to estimates of daily traffic, estimates are also created for
the peak one-hour periods during the morning (AM) and evening (PM) commute hours, when traffic
volumes on adjacent streets are typically at their highest. When a development generates peak traffic
patterns that do not coincide with the AM or PM peak (e.g., a school), estimates specific to that
developments traffic patterns (site peak hour) are also created.

Trip generation estimates for the project were developed by using rates and equations contained in the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation (9
th
Edition). The base trip generation
rates were adjusted considering:
Existing Trips traffic counts at the study intersections were collected when the high
school was in normal session at the site with an enrollment of approximately 220 students.
The project trip generation was adjusted so as not to double count the existing high school-
related trips already included in the intersection turning movement counts.
Internally Captured Trips Students may stay on-site after school because of the
community center. The potential for afternoon/evening trip rate reductions due to the
mixture of activities proposed within the project site was considered.
Modal Split The project, because of its land uses and location, has a higher propensity of
walk, bike, carpool, and transit trips to/from the site than a typical suburban project.
Available data was reviewed to identify potential reductions in auto trips to account for the
transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities that serve the project site.

Fehr & Peers also conducted observations of morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up activity at Anna
Yates Elementary School in February 2012. Curent Anna Yates students would be relocated to the
project site as part of the project. Peak hour trip generation estimates were compared to the existing
level of drop-off/pick-up activity at the existing school site. Trip generation rates used to calculate the
projects trip generating potential are presented in Table 21.

The City of Emeryville and the surrounding area include a grid street-network pattern that better
facilitates walking and biking than typical suburban landscapes. Emeryville is also served by two bus
transit systems, AC Transit and Emery-Go-Round, with frequent service that directly links Emeryville
to East Bay communities such as neighboring Oakland and Berkeley, and the MacArthur BART
station.

To account for the use of alternative modes and carpooling a variety of resources were consulted,
including the most recent Bay Area Transportation Survey (BATS) (2000), 2010 Census Data and the
2007-2011 American Community Survey. The data for home-based work trips and home-based social
or recreational trips is shown in Table 22. Since the US Census only collects data for work trips, the
project trips were evaluated based on a combination of available data.

The published data compares how much each mode is used, such as driving alone, carpooling, and
alternative modes (i.e., transit, walking, and biking) by trip purpose (i.e., work and social/recreation).
The data shows that of people who work in Emeryville, 68 percent drive alone, 12 percent carpool
and 20 percent walk/bike or take transit. For recreation trips, a greater percentage occurs as part of a
carpool or are walk/bike/transit trips.

maps_and_data/datamart/survey; U.S. Census Bureau, 2010. 2007-2011 American Community Survey.

The ITE trip generation rates shown in Table 21 primarily reflect suburban locations where the use of
transit and non-auto travel modes is lower. The vehicle trip generation estimates were adjusted to
reflect that many potential site-users will not drive a vehicle to the site, or will carpool. Additionally,
given the mixture of uses on the site, it is expected that many potential afternoon trips to the library
and community center portions of the project will come from students already on the site. The trip
generation estimates are presented in Table 23 for the Phase 1 project and Table 24 for the Phase 2
project. The trip generation estimates include users of the lighted fields arriving to the site during the
evening peak hour in preparation for a community use of the fields, such as for ultimate Frisbee or
softball. As games would be scheduled throughout the evening, the majority of activity related to
community use of the fields would occur outside of the evening peak hour when traffic volumes on
the surrounding roadway system are less than the peak hours analyzed for this study.

At completion of the Phase 1 of the project, approximately 2,680 daily trips, including 530 trips
during the AM peak hour, 370 trips during the afternoon peak hour, and 230 trips during the PM peak
hour, would be added to the immediate area surrounding the project site. At completion of Phase 2 of
the project, expected generation is approximately 3,440 daily trips, including 690 trips during the AM
peak hour, 480 during the afternoon peak hour, and 290 trips during the PM peak hour.

As the project would shift existing students from the Anna Yates campus to the project site, trip generation estimates
shown above are not all new trips to the roadway system as some trips would be shifted from the current school.
However, these trips would be new trips to the immediate study area and represent new vehicle turning movements at
the intersections closest to the site evaluated as part of this study.

As the project would shift existing students from the Anna Yates campus to the project site, trip generation estimates
shown above are not all new trips to the roadway system as some trips would be shifted from the current school.
However, these trips would be new trips to the immediate study area and represent new vehicle turning movements at
the intersections closest to the site evaluated as part of this study.
b
Based on ITE rates shown in Table 20, with a 20 percent carpool/walk/bike/transit reduction. For the afternoon peak
hour, an additional 25 percent trip discount was applied to account for students attending after-school activities.
c
Based on ITE rates shown in Table 20, with a 12 percent carpool/walk/bike/transit reduction.

It should be noted that the elementary/middle school trips, while new to the immediate study area,
would not be new to the regional roadway system as the project would shift students from the Anna
Yates site (approximately mile away) to the project site. Although not adding new trips to the
regional transportation system, student relocation would alter the travel patterns of student arrivals/
departures and represent new turning movements at the intersections closest to the project site.

Trip Distribution. Estimates of project trip distribution were developed based on existing
travel patterns in the area and the School District enrollment boundary area. Traffic counts were also
conducted at the main access point to Anna Yates Elementary School (Adeline Street/41
st
Street) to
ascertain the travel patterns of existing K-8 students. The project trip distribution is shown on Figure
23. Separate distribution percentages were developed for the near-term and cumulative condition to
reflect changes to the school district boundary area to serve a greater proportion of students residing
in Emeryville versus inter-district transfer students residing in Oakland. New housing developments
are expected along the Hollis Street corridor within Emeryville, and as new families move to
Emeryville it is expected that a greater percentage of students would reside along the Hollis Street
Corridor than within the City of Oakland. The resulting project trip assignment is shown on Figure 24
for the existing condition and Figure 25 for future conditions. The project trip assignment reflects
future traffic volumes with completion of Phase 2.

Existing Plus Project Conditions
The project trips (Figure 24) were added to the existing peak hour traffic volumes (Figure 22) to
estimate the Existing Plus Project (Phase 1 and Phase 2) peak hour traffic volumes, as shown on
Figure 26. No roadway improvements were assumed for this scenario, except for the improvements
proposed as part of the project. Improvements that would be constructed as part of the project include
modifications to the 53
rd
Street/San Pablo Avenue intersection that would eliminate the wide east-
bound right-turn lane, decreasing the crossing distance for pedestrians on the west leg of the
intersection, and construction of a raised mountable turnaround island installed mid-block on 53
rd

Street.

Intersection Level of Service. Peak hour intersection operations were evaluated using the
methods discussed previously and the results are presented in Table 25. For the intersections that
provide primary access to the campus that would likely experience peak vehicular trip generation
around the school bell times, peak hour factors were reduced to reflect expected peak activity in the
15 to 20 minutes around bell times during the morning and afternoon peak hours. The reductions were
based on the observed peak hour factors at intersections around the existing Anna Yates campus.

The addition of project traffic would worsen LOS E conditions at the #5 Hollis Street/45
th
Street
intersection. However, as peak hour signal warrants would not be satisfied at this intersection prior to
or with the addition of project traffic, the increase is considered less-than-significant. Project traffic
would also increase average delay at the #3 San Pablo Avenue/53
rd
Street intersection, as that
intersection would provide primary access to the elementary school drop-off/pick-up area, degrading
intersection operations from LOS A to LOS C (AM) and from LOS A to LOS B (PM). Operations
would remain at LOS B during the afternoon peak hour. For through trips on San Pablo Avenue,
travel time through the corridor would not noticeably increase for most drivers with the addition of
project traffic. Vehicles turning to/from 53
rd
Street would experience most of the increased delay
around bell times.

Queuing. Table 26 presents the 95
th
percentile queues in the Existing and Existing With Project
scenarios for intersections where the 95
th
percentile vehicle queues are expected to extend beyond the
available storage space. The analysis results show that with the addition of project traffic, the
northbound left-turn vehicle queue at the #3 San Pablo Avenue/53
rd
Street and #4 San Pablo
Avenue/47
th
Street intersections would exceed the available storage capacity periodically throughout
the AM peak hour. Eastbound vehicle queues on 53
rd
Street for traffic exiting the drop-off/pick-up
area are expected to extend along the project frontage, although intersection queues are not expected
to impede drop-off/pick-up maneuvers.

Recommendation 1: Monitor the signal operations at the San Pablo Avenue/53
rd
Street and San
Pablo Avenue/47
th
Street intersections as school enrollment increases so that the frequency and
severity of queue spillback can be moderated through signal timing and phasing adjustments. As
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Caltrans maintains and operates this intersection, coordination with Caltrans and the City of
Emeryville would be required.

Vehicle queue shown in feet; numbers shown in bold indicate that capacity exceeds available storage length.
c
Average queue is expected to be approximately 100 feet over the entire morning peak hour, but maximum queue is
expected to be approximately 325 feet during the peak 10 minutes around the morning bell time.
d
Average queue is expected to be approximately 50 feet over the entire morning peak hour, but maximum queue is
expected to be approximately 175 feet during the peak 10 minutes around the morning bell time.

Signal Warrant. To assess the need for signalization of stop-controlled intersections, the peak
hour volume and peak hour delay warrants are used in this study as a supplemental analysis tool to
assess operations at unsignalized intersections. The results of the traffic signal warrant analysis
indicate that neither the peak hour volume nor peak hour delay traffic signal warrant is satisfied at any
of the unsignalized study intersections under the Existing With Project scenario. Signal warrant
worksheets are provided in Appendix E.

Multi-Modal Level of Service. With the project, MMLOS calculations are not expected to
change substantially. Pedestrian LOS may increase due to widening of the sidewalk on San Pablo
Avenue from 10 to 15 feet with the project. Pedestrian LOS may also improve on 53
rd
Street, where
the sidewalk is proposed to be widened from 5 feet to 6 feet with the project. Existing sidewalks on
47
th
Street are proposed to be widened from 10 to 13 feet on some portions and narrowed from 10 to 8
feet adjacent to the parallel on-street parking. However, MMLOS does not consider the benefits of
intersection crosswalk enhancements that are proposed with the project so the full benefit of the
project improvements is not captured by the MMLOS calculations.

Bicycle LOS would degrade as peak period auto volumes increase and with a likely increase in on-
street parking utilization along the project frontage. Increased parking utilization on a roadway with
no bicycle facilities causes bicycles to ride continuously in the travel lane, with many bicyclists riding
along the edge of the travel way in the door zone of parked automobiles.

126
Please note that some of the recommendation numbering within this IS/MND is different than the numbering
within the Transportation Impact Analysis included in Appendix E.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Transit LOS may also degrade with the addition of peak hour traffic on San Pablo Avenue. Transit
LOS would degrade if additional bus stops are added, as additional stops can increase transit travel
times. Consolidating potential future Emery-Go-Round service to the site or extending the existing
AC Transit bus stops could be considered.

Auto LOS would also degrade with the project traffic volumes, as shown in Table 25, but study
intersections are expected to continue operating at acceptable service levels.

Neighborhood Conditions. It is expected that some students and visitors of the project site
would reside within the Triangle Neighborhood and use those streets to travel to campus. Trips
associated with student activities and recreational activities are likely already occurring and would not
represent new trips through the neighborhood, but would represent changes in travel patterns and
were therefore analyzed as new trips for the purposes of the intersection assessment presented
previously. Approximately 40 to 50 vehicle trips are expected to come from within/travel through the
various streets within the Triangle Neighborhood during the morning and afternoon peak hours, with
approximately 150 to 170 vehicle trips through the neighborhood on a daily basis. These trips would
be spread-out over a number of streets, including 53
rd
Street, 45
th
Street, 43
rd
Street and 41
st
Street,
with no more than 15 to 20 vehicle trips in a peak hour or 40 to 50 trips on a daily basis on any
individual street. These added trips would be balanced against changes in travel patterns that would
result from the relocation of the Anna Yates Elementary School population to the project site.

The existing Anna Yates campus generates approximately 1,000 daily trips, including 350 morning
peak hour, 200 afternoon peak hour and 80 evening peak hour vehicle trips on a typical school day.
The majority of vehicular activity for the Anna Yates campus is currently focused on 41
st
, 43
rd
, and
Adeline Streets as well as San Pablo Avenue. With the project, elementary school vehicle traffic
originating from the south and west of the study area would no longer travel through the Triangle
Neighborhood to access the campus. Vehicles trips originating in the north and east have a variety of
travel routes to access the project site, many of which avoid the Triangle Neighborhood. With the
project, it is expected that the level of traffic associated with school uses would decrease on 41
st
, 43
rd
,
and Adeline Streets, and increase slightly on 53
rd
and 47
th
Streets, as discussed above.

Cumulative Traffic Conditions
The future traffic conditions analysis considers the completion of the project along with development
within the City of Emeryville and the greater region to the year 2030.

Cumulative Roadway Assumptions. Signalization of the #5 Hollis Street/45
th
Street
intersection is planned to occur by 2030 to accommodate expected growth in vehicle trips along the
Hollis Street corridor. Separate northbound and southbound left-turn pockets could be provided
within the existing Hollis Street cross section. As Hollis Street is a transit priority street, signalization
and left-turn pockets would facilitate transit travel along the corridor. The City also plans to upgrade
signal equipment throughout the City. For the analysis of cumulative conditions, signal timings were
assumed to be optimized from the current timings to better serve future traffic flows and cycle lengths
for signalized intersections along San Pablo Avenue were increased to 110 seconds to accommodate
increased pedestrian and bicycle clearance intervals. For the Cumulative Conditions With Project
Scenario, improvements planned to be constructed with the project were considered in the analysis,
including improvements at the 53
rd
Street/San Pablo Avenue intersection.

J U N E 2 0 1 3

Cumulative Traffic Forecasts. Cumulative intersection turning movement forecasts were
developed by taking the difference between the existing and cumulative traffic volumes from the
Emeryville General Plan EIR and adding the resulting growth in traffic to the existing turning movement
counts. Additionally, traffic expected to be generated by Escuela Bilinge International (EBI), located on
San Pablo Avenue at 47
th
Street, was added to the intersection turning movement counts based on the
expected level of the generation when the school reaches the maximum permitted enrollment level.
Traffic growth associated with development on the project site was not included in the resulting
Cumulative Conditions Without Project forecasts as presented on Figure 27. The peak hour project trips
from Figure 25 were added to the Cumulative Conditions Without Project traffic volumes to represent
cumulative traffic volumes with the project (Phase 1 and Phase 2), as presented on Figure 28.

Intersection Levels of Service. Peak hour intersection operations for the cumulative scenarios
are presented in Table 27. For the With Project scenario, peak hour factors were reduced for the
vehicle turning movements to the site from San Pablo Avenue to better account for peak vehicle
arrival/departure patterns around bell times. As shown, the addition of project traffic would increase
delay slightly at the study intersections but would not cause substantial delay. All study intersections
would operate at an overall LOS D or better during the peak hours evaluated in this study. Based on
the significance criteria, the cumulative impact to intersections is less-than-significant.

Queuing. Table 28 presents the 95
th
percentile vehicle queues under cumulative conditions for
movements where vehicle queues are expected to extend beyond the available storage. The analysis
results show that in the Cumulative Without Project scenario, the 95
th
percentile northbound left-turn
movement vehicle queue would exceed the storage capacity at the #3 San Pablo Avenue/53
rd
Street
intersection in the AM and PM peak periods. The addition of project traffic would increase the length
of the 95
th
percentile queue and also increase the frequency that the queue extends beyond the left-
turn pocket. Eastbound vehicle queues on 53
rd
Street would also increase and queue back along the
project frontage with the 95
th
percentile queues extending approximately 200 to 300 feet back from
the intersection during the morning and afternoon peak periods. Although these queues would clear
within a few cycles as vehicle drop-off and pick-up procedures are completed, there would be conges-
tion along the project frontage during drop-off and pick-up periods. At the #5 San Pablo Avenue/47
th

Street intersection, forecasted vehicle queues for the northbound left-turn movement are also expected
to extend beyond available storage for a few cycles during the morning and afternoon drop-off/pick-
up periods when enrollment levels approach capacity.

Signal Warrants. The results of the traffic signal warrant analysis indicate that neither the
peak hour volume nor peak hour delay traffic signal warrant is satisfied at any of the unsignalized
study intersections under the Cumulative With or Without Project scenarios. Signal warrant
worksheets are presented in Appendix E.

Multi-Modal Level of Service. MMLOS for all modes is expected to degrade with the
projected increase in auto volumes on the San Pablo Avenue corridor, as the calculations for all
modes are sensitive to increased peak period traffic volumes. The increase in traffic volumes would
likely increase transit vehicle dwell time, degrading transit speeds. Bicycle and pedestrian LOS would
degrade with increase in traffic volumes and no additional facility improvements on San Pablo
Avenue or parallel corridors. Auto LOS also degrades slightly with increased traffic volumes, but
planned signal timing changes along San Pablo Avenue would maintain traffic flow through the
corridor. Improvements that would be constructed with the project would off-set some decrease in the
pedestrian LOS along the project frontage.

b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including but not limited to level of
service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county
congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? (Less-Than-Significant
Impact)

The Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) requires the assessment of development-
driven impacts to regional roadways. Because the project would generate more than 100 net new
PM peak hour trips, the Congestion Management Program (CMP) requires the use of the Countywide
Travel Demand Forecasting Model to assess the impacts on regional roadways near the project site.
The CMP and Metropolitan Transportation System (MTS) roadways in the project vicinity include
the following:
San Pablo Avenue
Stanford Avenue
40
th
Street
Adeline Street

The ACTC Model used in this study is a regional travel demand model that uses socio-economic data
and roadway and transit network assumptions to forecast traffic volumes and transit ridership using a
four-step modeling process that includes trip generation, trip distribution, mode split, and trip assign-
ment. This process takes into account changes in travel patterns due to future growth and balances trip
productions and attractions. This version of the Countywide Model is based on Association of Bay
Area Governments (ABAG) Projections 2009 land uses for 2020 and 2035.

For the purposes of this CMP and MTS Analysis, the project is assumed to not be included in the
Countywide Model in order to present a more conservative analysis. The traffic forecasts for the 2020
and 2035 with project scenario were extracted for the CMP and MTS highway segments from that
model and used as the no project forecasts. Vehicle trips generated by the project were added to the
no project forecasts to estimate the plus project forecasts.

The CMP and MTS segments were assessed using a v/c ratio methodology. For surface streets, a per-
lane capacity of 800 vehicles per hour (vph) was used, consistent with the latest CMP documents.
127

Roadway segments with a v/c ratio greater than 1.00 signify LOS F.

The plus project results were compared to the baseline results for the 2020 and 2035 horizon years.
The 2020 and 2035 peak hour volumes, v/c ratios and the corresponding levels of service for without
and with project conditions are provided in Appendix E.

Due to differences in the land use assumptions and differences in analysis methodologies, the
forecasted traffic volumes on the roadway links can be different from the intersection volumes,
particularly at the local level. The first area of difference is the land use data sets employed for the
intersection forecasts and the MTS forecasts. The intersection forecasts, which are used to assess
project traffic impacts on City of Emeryville intersections, are based on existing intersection counts
and expected traffic that could be generated by approved, pending and reasonably foreseeable

projects in the City of Emeryville and projections of through traffic, which differs from the data in the
ACTC Model. The CMP analysis is also based on the outputs of the ACTC Model directly on a
roadway segment level. It is not unusual to have discrepancies given that the two analyses measure
impacts at a different scale. For local streets, intersection operations are typically a more accurate
measure of operating conditions because the capacity of an urban street, defined as the number of
vehicles that can pass through its intersections, is controlled by the capacity at its intersections.

The project would contribute to 2020 and 2035 increases in traffic congestion on MTS roadways.
However, the project would not cause a roadway segment on the MTS to degrade from LOS E or
better to LOS F. The project also would not increase the v/c ratio by more than 3 percent for roadway
segments that would operate at LOS F without the project. This is a less-than-significant impact, and
as a result no mitigation measures are required.

c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change
in location that results in substantial safety risks? (No Impact)

The project site is not located near an airport; the project would not change air traffic patterns.

d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Recommended design changes are described below and illustrated in Figure 29.

Drop-off and Pick-up Operations. Fehr & Peers conducted observations of drop-off/pick-up
activity at the existing Anna Yates school as well as the existing secondary school when classes were
in normal session. During the time of data collection at Anna Yates school, the enrollment for grades
K-8 was approximately 400 students. Based on observations and projected enrollment at the project
site at completion of Phase 1, it is expected that during the peak morning drop-off period, space for
approximately 25 vehicles to conduct concurrent drop-offs for K-8 students is needed. The duration
of maximum activity is approximately 10 minutes during the morning drop-off period. During the
afternoon pick-up period, significantly more vehicles would need to be accommodated as vehicles at
the front of the queue cannot depart the project area until school is released and their student enters
the vehicle. Approximately 50 to 60 vehicle spaces would be needed during the afternoon pick-up
period.

As proposed, drop-off/pick-up for grades K-8 would occur from 53
rd
Street. The project frontage
would be modified to provide a 480 foot loading zone that would also double as parking outside the
drop-off/pick-up periods, accommodating approximately 16 vehicle spaces when striped as parking.
This area can accommodate 20-25 vehicles when used for active loading/unloading. Approximately
13 parking spaces are provided on the north side of 53
rd
Street, serving the residential uses. Use of
these spaces for school drop-off/pick-up activities was not assumed in this analysis.

An additional 20 vehicle parking spaces would be provided on San Pablo Avenue along the project
frontage, although drop-off/pick-up activity would be discouraged in this area. A vehicle turnaround
is also proposed at the western edge of the campus on 53
rd
Street to facilitate vehicle turnaround and
discourage vehicular travel through the residential neighborhood to the west of the project site.
Separate parking and drop-off/pick-up loading areas would be located on 47
th
Street to serve the
upper grades.

The design of the proposed drop-off/pick-up area on 53
rd
Street is expected to generally accommodate
the expected level of activity during the morning drop-off period. However, deficiencies are expected
to occur during the afternoon pick-up period.

Observations of drop-off/pick-up activities at the project site were conducted prior to students being
moved to the temporary campus. No significant queuing or vehicle delay was observed during either
the drop-off or pick-up periods. With the proposed project, parallel curb loading spaces would be
converted to parallel parking stalls to increase the on-street parking supply in the vicinity of the
school, decreasing the curb space for drop-off/pick-up activities. For vehicles that enter the 47
th
Street
drop-off/pick-up area from San Pablo Avenue, it is expected that the majority of vehicles would
continue west on 47
th
Street, turn to Doyle Street, and then either return to San Pablo Avenue or
continue to Hollis Street, which is reflected in the off-site intersection analysis. It is expected that the
drop-off/pick-up area on 47
th
Street would operate similar to the No Project condition.

Recommendation 2: To further manage traffic flows during the afternoon pick-up period,
especially as enrollment increases, the following is recommended:
Develop and implement a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan for the school.
At the proposed 53
rd
Street turnaround, install a traffic circle with a raised, mountable
center island with painted perimeter striping located between existing driveway curb cuts as
shown in Figure 30. Install signage in the westbound direction to indicate that U-turns must
yield to oncoming traffic.
Off-set bell times of some grade levels, such as K, 1-5, 6-8, and 9-12 to disperse drop-
off/pick-up activity (expected schedule is 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for grades K through 8,
and 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for grades 9 through 12).
Prohibit parking on the south side of 53
rd
Street around bell times through paint, signing
and enforcement.
Designate a student drop-off/pick-up zone on 47
th
Street and prohibit parking around bell
times through paint, signing and enforcement.
School staff to monitor activities on 53
rd
Street during the drop-off/pick-up periods to
facilitate loading procedures and prevent parking in the loading area.
Restrict parking along the north side of 47
th
Street along the school frontage to 15-minute
parking only during school drop-off/pick-up periods to provide additional loading/
unloading areas.
Prohibit drop-off/pick-up activities from San Pablo Avenue.
Encourage students to travel to school via walking, biking and transit.
Encourage carpooling.
Encourage the provision of after-school activities or supervised playground time to allow
some parents to drop-off/pick-up outside the peak drop-off/pick-up period.

Delivery Truck Access. Access to the site by delivery trucks, food vendors, and trash
collection vehicles are expected to occur on a regular basis. A designated loading dock is located on
the edge of the proposed off-street parking lot on 47
th
Street, adjacent to the gymnasium. An auto-turn
assessment was conducted, which indicates that delivery vehicles may have a difficult time entering/
exiting the designated loading dock area due to the length of the proposed median islands across the
drive aisle from the proposed loading block.

Recommendation 3: Adjust length of median islands in the off-street parking lot to allow for
delivery vehicles to access the proposed loading dock adjacent to 47
th
Street.

Parking. The project proposes to provide 28 off-street spaces on the project site, 12 additional
spaces from the current on-site supply. With the modifications proposed as part of the project along
the 47
th
rd
Street project frontages, 101 on-street parking spaces
would be provided, a slight increase over the existing supply. Additional on-street parking is available
on other public streets surrounding the project site.

The City recently updated off-street parking requirements to reflect the expected peak parking
demands for various uses, and projects are allowed the flexibility to provide 33 percent less parking
than the peak demand and are allowed to build up to 10 percent more than the peak demand. The
parking required under the City Zoning Ordinance is presented in Table 29, which shows parking
requirements for the site ranges between 125 and 206 spaces for the Phase 1 project and between 137
and 224 spaces at Phase 2 completion. Considering the on-street parking supplies adjacent to the
project site on 53
rd
Street, San Pablo Avenue and 47
th
Street, approximately 129 parking spaces would
be provided to accommodate the expected parking demand, which is within the range permitted under
City Code, provided on-street public parking supplies can be considered as part of the project parking
supply.

A supplemental parking demand assessment was conducted based on the potential for different uses
on the site to share parking supplies as their parking demands vary throughout the day, and to account
for non-auto travel to the site. Table 30 presents the estimated parking demand for Phase 1 of the
project throughout the day assuming shared parking. Peak parking demand is expected to occur in the
afternoon (3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.), with approximately 190 parking spaces required to serve the needs
of all uses, including the community recreation uses, which could result in approximately 60 to 70
vehicles parking in the neighborhoods surrounding the Campus. The evening (6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)
parking demand estimate reflects typical use of the lighted fields for community adult sports.

Note: Parking demand is based on the number of users expected on the site on a typical weekday and weekend, as well
as the mode split for trip purpose. This does not include the parking demand for special events. The demand
assumes home-based social/recreational trip mode split of 21 percent and a home-based work trip mode split of
20 percent, based on data collected in the Bay Area Travel Survey (2000).
a
The library is open to public use all day. The parking demand for the Library was based on the ITE Parking Generation
(2010) publication. For Land Use type 590, ITE reports an average peak parking rate of 2.61 vehicles per 1,000 square
feet (ksf). This was reduced by 12 percent to 2.30 based on BATS data to account for the use of alternative modes.
b
Parking for service and other site vehicles would likely be reserved and not shared with other uses.

Recommendation 4: Insufficient parking on-site and around the immediate project frontage is
expected at various times of the day. A parking management plan should be prepared and
implemented. Parking demand around the site should be monitored at regular intervals as the
project is built out and parking demand management strategies implemented, including:
Avoid scheduling overlapping events in the various multi-purpose rooms or athletic
venues;
Work with Emery-Go-Round to have transit serve the site;
Provide reserved on-site parking spaces for faculty/staff that carpool;
Provide additional on-site bicycle parking (if needed); or
Implement parking time restrictions for on-street parking.

The proposed site plan does not include parking designations for faculty and visitors. Designating off-
street parking as school visitor or faculty parking only during weekdays may help to manage the
limited parking supply. The on-street parking supply can be increased by adjusting the existing curb
extensions on the south side of 47
th
Street as the existing bulb-outs are irregularly spaced. Lengthen-
ing the curb extensions to take up the full width of a 90-degree parking space would improve
pedestrian visibility at mid-block crosswalks. These also require ADA curb ramps where mid-block
crosswalks are proposed. Reducing the overall size of the bulb-outs on 47
th
Street, as shown on Figure
29, could increase the on-street parking supply by approximately 17 spaces.

Recommendation 5: Consider modifying the curb extensions on the south side of 47
th
Street to
accommodate additional parking spaces with development of Phase 2 of the project.
Additionally, prohibit parking through the use of curb extension opposite the parking lot
driveway to minimize vehicle conflicts.

As pick-up and drop-off for the schools are expected to occur on both 47
th
Street and 53
rd
Street,
parking restrictions during bell times should be included with the project through signage and painted
curbs, as identified in Recommendation 2.

Given the expected peak typical parking demand of 190 spaces, the Americans with Disability Act
requires 6 accessible stalls to support a parking supply/demand between 151 and 200 spaces,
including 1 van accessible spaces. A total of 6 accessible stalls are proposed, all of which are van
accessible stalls.

Phase 2 of the project proposes to add structured parking onto the proposed surface parking lot, which
would increase the parking supply.

Recommendation 6: Parking demand for the Phase 1 project should be evaluated prior to the
development of the Phase 2 project to determine the level of parking needed to accommodate
existing and future activities within the project site.

Bicycle parking is discussed in the bicycle subsection.

e) Result in inadequate emergency access? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Emergency vehicle access to the project site would be provided from 47
th
Street and 53
rd
Street.
Emergency vehicle access would be provided from the on-site parking lot on 47
th
Street. On the
northern project frontage, access would be provided via a gated entrance on 53
rd
Street, with the track
and sports fields constructed to allow for emergency vehicle circulation to the center potion of the
campus. Therefore, the project is not expected to result in inadequate emergency access.

f) Conflict with adopted polices, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian
facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? (Less-Than-
Significant Impact)

Pedestrians. As part of the project, pedestrian improvements would be constructed along the
project frontages on 53
rd
Street, San Pablo Avenue and 47
th
Street. On 47
th
Street, improvements
include three mid-block pedestrian crosswalks in addition to a bulb-out at the northwest corner of the
San Pablo Avenue/47
th

Recommendation 7: Modify the crosswalk locations on 47
th
Street as shown on Figure 29.
Modify the curb extensions on 47
th
Street to maximize the number of parking stalls and better
define the pedestrian crossing areas. Extensions should be 16 feet deep and 12 to 18 feet wide
(depending on the desirability of landscaping). All curb extensions should have ramps.

Recommendation 8: Provide ADA curb ramps at the pedestrian path through the parking lot.

Pedestrian access to the project site is provided from 47
th
rd
Street.
The primary pedestrian access points are located on 47
th
Street, with entry points to the swimming
pool, gymnasium, sports fields, and secondary school. Two pedestrian access points are provided on
San Pablo Avenue, one south of 48
th
Street and one south of 53
rd
Street, adjacent to the auditorium.
Pedestrian access is provided on 53
rd
Street, with an entry point to the sports field as well as adjacent
to the auditorium.

Sidewalks between 8 and 14 feet in width would be provided on 47
th
Street, with wider sidewalks
adjacent to the drop-off/pick-up area. Sidewalks on San Pablo Avenue would be increased from
approximately 10 feet to 15 feet. On 53
rd
Street, sidewalks would be increased from 5 feet to 6 feet,
with additional sidewalk width adjacent to the main entrance. Given the level of pedestrian activity
expected along the entire 53
rd
Street frontage, 6 foot sidewalks are insufficient adjacent to the
parking/loading/unloading areas. No pedestrian access or paths are provided on the west side of the
project, where the site abuts residential development, with Phase 1 of the project.

Recommendation 9: Increase the width of sidewalks on 53
rd
Street to 9 to 10 feet along the
parking/loading/unloading areas.

Improvements to the northeast corner of the project site include geometry improvements to the 53
rd

Street/San Pablo Avenue intersection, as shown on Figure 4. The intersection is currently offset, and
east-west through movements on 53
rd
Street are not aligned. The project proposes reducing the curb
radii on the southwest corner, which would reduce the speed of eastbound right-turn movements onto
San Pablo Avenue and shorten the pedestrian crossing on 53
rd
Street, as well as providing a crosswalk
on the north leg of the intersection.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Recommendation 10: In addition to the modifications shown on the project site plan, work
with the City of Emeryville to install additional improvements at the San Pablo Avenue/53
rd

Street intersection consistent with the City of Emeryville Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan,
including:
Providing ADA-accessible curb ramps and pedestrian push buttons on all crossings.
Installing pedestrian countdown heads and audible detectors for each pedestrian crosswalk.

A bulb out is proposed on the northwest corner of the 47
th
Street/San Pablo Avenue intersection,
which would reduce the pedestrian crossing distance.

Recommendation 11: Install pedestrian countdown heads and audible detectors for each
pedestrian crosswalk at the San Pablo Avenue/47
th
Street intersection, consistent with
improvements identified for this intersection in the City of Emeryville Pedestrian and Bicycle
Plan.

Transit. Transit currently serves the project site and no changes to the number of transit stops
or level of transit service are proposed as part of the project. As the project enhances transit access
and does not conflict with any transit plans, the project is not expected to create a significant impact
to the transit system.

Recommendation 12: The District should work with the Emeryville Business Improvement
District to identify strategies to provide Emery-Go-Round service to the site.

Bicycle. The City of Emeryville Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan designates 53
rd
Street as a bicycle
boulevard, greenway and a green street. Existing daily traffic volumes on 53
rd
Street (estimated from
PM peak hour traffic on the roadway) between San Pablo Avenue and Hollis Street are approximately
2,250 vehicles per day (VPD). With the project, traffic volumes on 53
rd
Street are expected to
increase by approximately 1,200 to 1,500 VPD between San Pablo Avenue and Boyer Street as the
53
rd
Street project frontage would be used as a drop-off/pick-up area for K-8 students. Increases of
approximately 200 VPD east of Boyer Street are expected. The City of Emeryville Pedestrian and
Bicycle Plan indicates that traffic volumes on bicycle boulevards should be below 1,500 VPD for
bicycle boulevards east of Hollis Street, and west of Hollis Street traffic volumes should be less than
3,000 VPD. Higher volumes can be permitted for short segments with additional treatments.

Traffic volumes on 53
rd
Street along the project frontage already exceed the desired volume threshold
for bicycle boulevard designation (1,500 VPD) and the addition of project traffic would increase
traffic volumes over 3,000 VPD between Boyer Avenue and San Pablo Avenue, requiring additional
treatments to calm traffic. The provision of the mid-block turn-around on 53
rd
Street would serve as a
traffic calming device along the corridor, moderating vehicle speeds between Boyer Avenue and San
Pablo Avenue and potentially resulting in existing traffic diverting to other travel routes. There are
also two existing speed humps on 53
rd
Street along the project frontage that would not be altered with
the project.

Recommendation 13: Install bicycle boulevard signage and striping along the project frontage
on 53
rd
Street and additional level 3 or level 4 measures as identified in the Pedestrian and
Bicycle Plan, such as a high visibility crosswalk at the 53
rd
Street/Boyer Avenue intersection.
J U N E 2 0 1 3

Greenway and other green street treatments should be included in the final design for the 53rd
Street frontage.

A Class I bicycle-pedestrian path is identified in the City of Emeryville Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan
along the western edge of the campus connecting 47
th
Street and 53
rd
Street. This path is not included
as part of the Phase 1 project due to constraints on the western edge of the site with the existing pool
facility. With the Phase 2 project, modifications to the pool and gymnasium area could permit
development of a path along the western project boundary.

Recommendation 14: The District will work with the City to provide a bicycle-pedestrian
connection and access between 53
rd
Street and 47
th
Street in the Phase 2 project.

Bicycle parking is not shown on the site plan.

Recommendation 15: The District should indicate short-term and long-term bicycle parking
spaces on the site plan. Based on parking requirements, at least 19 short-term spaces and 19
long-term spaces must be provided and installed per design guidelines in the Zoning Ordinance
and the City of Emeryville Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. Recommended locations for
short-term and long-term spaces are presented on Figure 29. Locations where additional short-
term bicycle parking spaces could be installed as demand dictates should be identified as it is
likely more than 36 bicycle parking spaces would be needed to satisfy demand. Additional
bicycle parking would be required with Phase 2 of the project.

The City of Emeryvilles sewer collection system is connected to drainage basins, each of which
connects to the East Bay Municipal Utility Districts (EBMUD) sanitary sewer interceptor. Waste-
water flows are then conveyed to EBMUDs Main Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWWTP) in the
City of Oakland. The MWWTP has a primary treatment capacity of 320 million gallons per day
(mgd) and a secondary treatment capacity of 168 mgd. Storage basins provide plant capacity for a
short-term hydraulic peak of 415 mgd. The average annual daily flow into the MWWTP is approxi-
mately 75 mgd, representing 45 percent of the plants secondary treatment capacity.
128
Treated
effluent is disinfected, dechlorinated, and discharged through a deep-water outfall 1 mile off the East
Bay shoreline into the San Francisco Bay.

EBMUD also supplies recycled water and the City of Emeryville has a Recycled Water Ordinance,
129

requiring residential developments that require subdivisions and buildings with over 100,000 square
feet of non-residential development to install a parallel water supply system for elements such as
parks, greenbelts, landscaped streets or medians, and any other use that does not require potable
water.
130
The proposed project does not include installation of recycled water lines.

The proposed project would generate wastewater, treated by the EBMUD treatment facilities.
EBMUD is required to meet applicable RWQCB treatment requirements. Wastewater generated by
the proposed project would be minimal when compared to the average daily flow for the MWWTP
and would not exceed the capacity of the MWWTP. Minor modifications to existing sanitary sewer
and water lines would be made to enable existing sanitary sewer infrastructure to convey wastewater
to EBMUD treatment facilities. The increase in student, employee, and community population that
would result from the proposed project would incrementally increase the amount of wastewater
generated on the project site.

The project site would generate approximately 55,875 gpd of wastewater, which represents less than
one percent of each the MWWTPs primary and secondary capacities, and the MWWTPs average
annual daily flow.
131

Wastewater discharges that may occur at the project site may be subject to monitoring by EBMUD to
ensure that the developments sewage discharge does not impair the ability of the MWWTP to meet
wastewater treatment objectives and requirements. Therefore, the proposed project would not exceed
the wastewater treatment requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco
Bay Region (Water Board).

b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental
effects? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The water and wastewater treatment facilities that serve the project site and area include EBMUDs
Orinda Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and the MWWTP, respectively.
132,133
The Orinda WTP has the
largest output of EBMUDs treatment plants with a maximum capacity of 190 mgd and is currently
operating at approximately 57 percent of capacity.
134,135
Please refer to Section XVII.a for a description
of the MWWTPs capacity.

The proposed project would connect to existing water delivery systems within the vicinity of the site;
an existing 12-inch water line is located along 53
rd
Street, a 6-inch line is located along the west side
of San Pablo Avenue, and a 10-inch line is located along 47
th
Street. The project would be consistent
with the level of development envisioned under the General Plan and would locate public uses on the
site.

The proposed project would connect to existing sanitary sewer systems within the vicinity of the site;
there is an 8-inch line located along 53
rd
Street that also connects into the northwest portion of the
project site, and a 6-inch line is located along the west side of San Pablo Avenue.

EBMUDs system is currently unable to handle storm drainage from the communities where sewer
pipes leak heavily during rainstorms. The issue of inadequate wet weather capacity has been
particularly critical since 2009, when the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB) issued an order prohibiting further discharges from EBMUDs wet weather facilities.
EBMUD is currently conducting extensive flow modeling and hydraulic monitoring to determine the
level of flow reduction that will be needed to comply with the RWQCB order. In the meantime,
EBMUD is instructing lead agencies in the process of reviewing development projects to require such
projects to implement the following improvements: 1) replace or rehabilitate existing sanitary sewer
collection systems, including lateral sewer lines, to reduce infiltration and inflow, and 2) ensure that
any new wastewater collection systems, including lateral sewer lines, are constructed to prevent
infiltration and inflow to the maximum extent feasible. In 2011, EBMUD began working with State,
federal and local agencies to focus on wet weather flows at the source, where City and EBMUD pipes
would be inspected, cleaned and monitored.
136

In fiscal year 2010, EBMUDs system demand was on average 174 mgd.
137
By 2040, EBMUD
projects that water demand will increase to approximately 312 mgd in its service area, although with
successful completion of water recycling and conservation programs, this demand could be reduced
to approximately 230 mgd.
138
The increased demand (approximately 17,927 gallons of water per
day
139
) that would result from the proposed project would represent less than one percent of the
anticipated water demand in 2040; therefore water could be supplied to the project site via existing
and planned entitlements.

As previously described in Section XVII.a, the MWWTP has a primary treatment capacity of 320
mgd and a secondary treatment capacity of 168 mgd, and the average annual daily flow into the
MWWTP is approximately 75 mgd. Approximately 55,875 gpd of wastewater would be generated
from implementation of the proposed project, which would represent less than one percent each of the
MWWTPs primary and secondary capacities, and the MWWTPs average annual daily flow.

Based on fire service available flow and pressure calculations from EBMUD,
140
there appears to be
adequate water flows and pressure from the street main locations to meet the fire flow requirements

138
The planning level of demand (312 mgd) does not include the short-term reduction and rebound in demand
caused by the multi-year drought (2007-2010) and the downturn in the economy. The planning level of demand is used to
assess demands as dictated by community policies. The EBMUDs 2040 Demand Study projected, on average, less than a
one percent growth each year in customer demand through 2030 followed by a much lower increase thereafter to a 2040
planning level of demand of 230 mgd after applying reductions from conservation and recycled water savings.

for the proposed project. Implementation of Mitigation Measure UTL-1 would ensure that there is
adequate fire flow to serve the proposed project.

Mitigation Measure UTL-1: The District shall require that the fire sprinkler be designed to
incorporate a design allowance for pressure losses through the fire service meter, backflow
prevention, and the lateral from the street main to the fire service meter.

As detailed construction plans for the project have not been completed, it is unknown if existing
utilities will need to be relocated or altered to accommodate the realignment and installation of a
traffic turn-around on 53
rd
Street. An assessment of existing utilities (water, sewer, electric) would
need to be made by the District, City, and utility providers at the time detailed site plans are available.
Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce the potential impact associated
with utility relocation to a less-than-significant level.

Mitigation Measure UTL-2: When detailed site plans for any proposed street improvements are
available, the District and the City shall coordinate with all utility providers to prepare plans for
relocation of existing utility lines, as necessary. The District will obtain confirmation from
ACFD and EBMUD that any relocated fire hydrants would have adequate water fire flow to
serve the project site. The City shall review all plans for utility line relocation.

Given the above, with implementation of Mitigation Measures UTL-1 and UTL-2, it is anticipated
that the projects potential impact on utilities would be less-than-significant.

c) Require or result in the construction of new stormwater drainage facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
(Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated)

The proposed project would connect to the existing stormwater system and would include a new
outfall into the Temescal Creek culvert. The project would not increase impervious surfaces at the site
and would therefore not result in increased amounts of stormwater runoff (which may actually be less
than existing conditions). Therefore new, larger stormwater facilities are not likely required for the
new development and this impact would be less than significant.

Please refer to Section IX.a and e for a discussion of stormwater drainage. Implementation of
Mitigation Measures HYD-1 and HYD-2 would ensure that potential impacts to the existing storm
drainage system would be less than significant.

d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Water service at the project site and in the project area is provided by EBMUD. EBMUD obtains
approximately 90 percent of its water from the Mokelumne River watershed, and transports it through
pipe aqueducts to temporary storage reservoirs in the East Bay hills. EBMUD has water rights and
facilities to divert up to a daily maximum of 325 mgd from the Mokelumne River.
141
Average daily

water demand within the EBMUD service area was approximately 155 mgd in 2010, the most recent
year for which this data is available.
142
EBMUD also has a contract with the U.S. Bureau of Reclama-
tion to obtain water from the American River via the Folsom South Canal, but these facilities have yet
to be built because of litigation opposing further diversions from the Sacramento River Delta.

EBMUD faces water supply problems such as the growing risk of aqueduct failure in the Delta,
increasing shortages in dry periods, and increased difficulty in maintaining high quality drinking
water. In response, EBMUD recently completed development of Water Supply Management Program
(WSMP) 2040, the Districts plan for providing water to its customers over the next 30 years.
143
The
plan calls for maintaining a reliable, high-quality water supply by aggressively conserving and
recycling water. New water supplies will come from water transfers, groundwater storage and
regional supply projects.

EBMUDs Non-Potable Water Policy 73 (Policy 73) seeks to implement recycled water programs.
Policy 73 requires that, when non-potable water is available, customers of EBMUD use non-potable
water for non-domestic purposes when it is of adequate quality and quantity, available at reasonable
cost, not detrimental to public health, and not injurious to plant life, fish and wildlife. Policies CSN-
P-12 and CSN-P-16 in the City of Emeryville General Plan promotes the use of recycled water on
landscaping and other non-food source plantings and supports the use of recycled water in new and
rehabilitation projects through the development process. Currently, use of recycled water is not
proposed for the project site.

As previously described in Section XVII.b, based on Californias average per capita urban water
demand rate, the proposed projects water demand would be approximately 17,927
144
gallons of water
per day. The increased demand that would result from the proposed project would represent less than
one percent of the anticipated water demand in 2040; therefore water could be supplied to the project
site via existing and planned entitlements.

Additionally, further evaluation was done to compare water usage at the site when occupied by the
Emery Secondary School compared to water use anticipated by future high school users. For fiscal
year May 2011 to May 2012, it was estimated that water usage at the project site was 4,151,400
gallons. Based on the area comparisons for the high school use, it is estimated that high school and
landscaping associated water use would be 2,319,424 gallons; this would represent a 44 percent
savings compared to prior high school use of the site.
145

Therefore, it is not anticipated that EBMUD would need new or expanded entitlements to serve the
proposed project.

However, due to EBMUDs limited water supply, future users of the site (and all EBMUD customers)
should plan for shortages in time of drought. Compliance with standard City requirements and
programs for incorporating water conservation measures into the project design will ensure efficient
use of water at the project site and minimize the projects potential water demand to a level that is
considered less than significant. EBMUD also imposes a system capacity charge on new develop-
ments to fund system maintenance and the development of new water sources. The project applicant
would be required to pay this fee and undertake water conservation measures to conserve water such
as the installation of low-flow toilets.

The proposed project is not subject to either an assessment required by Senate Bill 221 (project is
consistent with the General Plan, is not subject to a referendum, and is not a subdivision) or an
assessment required by Senate Bill 610 (project consists of less than 500 units and 500,000 square
feet of commercial space, and will have fewer than 1,000 employees).

e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the
project that it has adequate capacity to serve the projects projected demand in addition to the
providers existing commitments? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Please refer to Section XVII,a. The proposed project would not exceed the capacity of the wastewater
treatment system.

f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the projects solid
waste disposal needs? (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

Waste Management of Alameda County (WMAC) collects non-hazardous waste within the City of
Emeryville and provides curbside pick-up for residential and commercial non-hazardous waste. Non-
hazardous solid waste is taken to the Davis Street Resource and Recovery Complex in San Leandro
for processing, and then hauled to the Altamont Landfill and Resource Facility near the City of
Livermore. The Davis Street facility has a permitted maximum daily throughout of 5,600 tons.
146

Demolition and construction debris is generally hauled by construction contractors to recycling
facilities or the Vasco Road Landfill. In 2011, the City of Emeryville disposed of approximately
20,855 tons of solid waste at various disposal facilities.
147
In 2006 (the year for which the most
current data is available), the City of Emeryville diverted approximately 74 percent of its solid waste
from landfills through recycling and/or composting efforts.
148

The Altamont Landfill facility has a total estimated capacity of 62 million cubic yards. As of 2000,
the landfills total estimated used capacity was approximately 16.3 million cubic yards, or 26 percent

The Vasco Road Landfill facility has a total estimated capacity of 33 million cubic yards. As of 2000,
the landfills total estimated used capacity was approximately 23 million cubic yards, or 70 percent of
the landfills total capacity. The landfill has a permitted throughput of 2,250 tons per day and is
anticipated to have sufficient capacity until 2019, its expected closure date.
151

The project site could result in approximately 2,250 tons of demolition waste and approximately
3,000 cubic yards of construction debris. The project applicant will divert 75 percent of construction
and demolition waste away from landfills. Waste generated by the proposed project would not exceed
the combined permitted capacity of approximately 95 million cubic yards of these landfills.
152

The project applicant would be required to comply with the Citys Construction and Demolition
Ordinance and prepare a Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan (WMP) prior to
building or demolition of the proposed project.
153

g) Comply with federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? (No
Impact)

In 1989, the California Legislature enacted the California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB
939), which requires the diversion of waste materials from landfills in order to preserve landfill
capacity and natural resources. Cities and counties in California were required to divert 25 percent of
solid waste by 1995, and 50 percent of solid waste by the year 2000. AB 939 further requires every
city and county to prepare two documents demonstrating how the mandated rates of diversion will be
achieved. The Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) must describe the chief source of the
jurisdictions waste, the existing diversion programs, and current rates of waste diversion and new or
expanded diversion programs. The Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE) must describe
each jurisdictions responsibility in ensuring that household hazardous wastes are not mixed with
non-hazardous solid wastes and subsequently deposited at a landfill.

Alameda County passed the Source Reduction and Recycling Initiative (Measure D) a local ballot
initiative in 1990. Measure D established aggressive countywide waste diversion goals above the
goals mandated by the State, and set a 75 percent and higher goal for reduced landfilling. Measure D
also emphasized on preserving natural resources, and described the need to establish long-term
sustainable consumption and disposal patterns. In support of these goals, the measure directed the
Alameda County Source Reduction and Recycling Board to prepare a recycling plan, which would

The Emery School District is a participating organization with stopwaste.org, and also actively
participates in the Countys school district recycling program, irecycle@school, which provides
educational program support and indoor classroom signage material to support students
understanding and practices of reducing, reusing, recycling, and composting.

c) Does the project have environmental effects which
will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly?

a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California history or prehistory? (Potentially Significant Unless

Implementation of the proposed project could degrade the quality of the environment; however,
implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, CULT-1, and CULT-2 would ensure
that potential impacts related to biological and cultural resources would be reduced to less-than-
significant levels. With mitigation, the proposed project would not: 1) substantially degrade the
quality of the environment; 2) substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species; 3) cause a
fish or wildlife species population to drop below self-sustaining levels; 4) threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community; 5) reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal; or 6) eliminate important examples of the major period of California history.

b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(Cumulatively considerable means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects,
and the effects of probable future projects.) (Less-Than-Significant Impact)

The impacts of the proposed project would be individually limited and not cumulative considerable,
as described in this IS/MND. All environmental impacts that could occur as a result of implemen-
tation of the proposed project would be reduced to less-than-significant levels through
implementation of the mitigation measures recommended in this document.

c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly? (Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation
Incorporated)

With implementation of the mitigation measures included in this document, the proposed project
would not result in environmental effects that would cause substantial direct or indirect adverse
effects to human beings.

Subject: Comments on Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for
Dear Mr. Miller:
City staff have reviewed the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the
Emeryville Center of Community Life (ECCL), and would like to request that a modification be
made to Mitigation Measure AES-I on page 56 before the Emery Unified School District Board
of Trustees adopts the IS/MND. Specifically, City staff request that the third bullet point of
Mitigation Measure AES-I be modified as follows (new language underlined):
Unless a District game or City-sponsored event is occurring, all lighted use of the field
shall conclude at 8:30 p.m., with lighting turned off at 9:00 p.m. This 9:00 p.m. ending
time coincides with the required time for end use of the PA system.
The City of Emeryville Community Services Department, which will be sharing the ECCL
campus with the School District, will be sponsoring adult sports and other activities that will be
using the sports fields. As noted in Table 5, "Proposed Use of Sports Field Facility" on page 29
in the Project Description portion of the IS/MND, adult sports may use the field, with lights,
until 10:00 p.m. all year, every day of the week. Thus, without the above modification, "
Mitigation Measure At:S-1 is inconsistent with the proposed project as described.
As you know, the ECCL project will be going to the Emeryville Planning Commission for its
consideration on July 25. As a responsible agency under CEQA, the Commission must
acknowledge that it has reviewed and considered the IS/MND prepared by the School District
prior to taking action on the project. Should the Planning Commission approve the ECCL
project, the mitigation measures identified in the IS/MND will be incorporated into the
conditions of approval. The City intends on including a condition that the field lights may remain
on until 10:00 p.m. for District games or Community-sponsored events. However, unless the
above modification is made, such a condition would be inconsistent with the IS/MND.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Response to Comment Letter Submitted by the City of Emeryville

The City of Emeryville provided the attached comment letter requesting that changes be made to
Mitigation Measure AES-1. The comment letter states that the City intends to include a condition of
approval at their July 25, 2013 Planning Commission hearing that the field lights may remain on until
10:00 p.m. for District games or City-sponsored events.

Should the Board decide to allow lighted field use for District and City-sponsored events until 10:00
p.m., the following text revisions would need to be made to Mitigation Measures AES-1 on page 56
of the IS/MND:

The District will identify three distinct lighting scenarios Scenario A:
Competitive Athletic Use (six poles in use); Scenario B: Recreation and
Community Use (four poles in use); and Scenario C: Clean-up Use (minimal
lights on) to allow for field light levels at the lowest acceptable setting for
safety depending on the type of field use. This includes flexibility of light level
settings for practices where the full competitive safety light levels may not be
needed.
The light poles will have an additional 1/3 power reduction switch to further
adjust and reduce lighting to provide the lowest safe lighting levels needed for
any event.
UnlessIf a District game or City-sponsored event is occurring, all lighted use of
the field shall conclude at 8:30 p.m., with lighting turned off at 9:00 10:00 p.m.
This 9:00 p.m. ending time coincides with the required time for end use of the
PA system. For all other events, use of the field shall conclude at 8:30 p.m., with
lighting turned off at 9:00 p.m.
Except for District games, no lighting of the field will occur on Saturdays and
Sundays exceeding the Scenario B lighting scheme.
Musco back visors will be installed on field lights as part of the project.

Introduction

The undersigned are Emeryville residents, parents and guardians of children who currently or will
attend the schools of the Emery Unified School District (EUSD), and individuals that own
property or are employed in Emeryville, collectively hereinafter Community Commenters. The
Community Commenters are concerned about the environmental impacts that will result from the
proposed Emeryville Center of Community Life and provide the comments below in the hope of
assisting the EUSD in planning a project that would have a less significant environmental impact.
The Community Commenters submit these comments in their individual capacities and not on
behalf of any organization or employer.

General Comments

The Community Commenters have two general concerns about the environmental impacts of the
EUSDs proposed project. First, the Community Commenters believe that the available facts
demonstrate that the proposed project will have significant environmental impacts that will not be
adequately mitigated by the proposed mitigation measures and that therefore the EUSD should
prepare a full Environmental Impact Report to address these impacts and to discuss feasible
alternatives.

Second the Community Commenters believe that the available facts demonstrate that the proposed
project is inconsistent with Emeryvilles General Plan in numerous ways that create significant
harmful environmental impacts. Considering all of the proposed projects aspects, it will not further
the objectives and policies of Emeryvilles General Plan, but will instead obstruct their attainment.
This is not a case where the proposed project fails to conform with one or two aspects of
Emeryvilles General Plan, but rather, as proposed, the project is incompatible with numerous
objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in Emeryvilles General Plan that were
adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating environmental effects. Feasible alternatives to the
proposed project should be considered that would not obstruct Emeryvilles General Plan objectives
and that would be consistent with Emeryvilles General Plan and specific plan policies.

Specific Comments

1. Aesthetics

Comment #1: The Community Commenters believe that the project may have a potentially
significant impact which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area because the
proposed project creates new sources of substantial light or glare that are not adequately mitigated
by Mitigation Measures AES-1.

In particular, the proposed project includes six 80-foot tall lighting poles each equipped with six
1,500-watt lamp fixtures which would adversely affect residences on the north side of 53rd Street.
First, the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is inconsistent in its description of mitigation
measures that the EUSD will implement. On page 45 of the MND the EUSD says only that Musco
back visors can be installed to reduce off-site light trespass, but Mitigation Measures AES-1 does
not say that Musco back visors will be used. Figure 15 contains a note suggesting Musco back visors
will be installed. If so, this should be specifically included when Mitigation Measures AES-1 are
detailed on page 56 of the MND.

Comment #2: Furthermore, the Community Commenters believe the proposed project creates new
sources of substantial light or glare that are not adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures AES-1
because the Musco back visors only address spill light on the two lighting poles that are proposed to
the north of the sports fields and which would be aimed in a roughly southerly direction. Four of
the six proposed lighting poles are instead aimed in a roughly northerly direction, precisely in the
direction of the residences on 53rd Street. Thus, a back visor will not address the relevant spill light
from a majority of the lighting poles. In a full EIR the EUSD should consider feasible alternatives
such as relocating the proposed lighting poles to orient light from fewer of the poles in a northerly
direction, so as to minimize the impact on residences on 53rd Street.

Comment #3: Finally, the Community Commenters believe the proposed project creates new
sources of substantial light or glare that are not adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures AES-1
because Table 7 and the subsequent discussion show that the EUSD is proposing a lighting system
that is not capable of producing as much light as IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of
North America) recommends for safe play on sports fields. On page 47, the MND reports that,
IESNA recommends an average level of 50 horizontal footcandles for football and soccer fields,
and 100 and 70 horizontal footcandles for safe play on a baseballs infield and outfield respectively.
However, the EUSDs project proposal states that the proposed lamp fixtures would generate
averages of 30.6 footcandles for the football field, 31.0 footcandles for the soccer field, 20.19 for the
track, and 50.2 and 30.5 footcandles for the baseballs infield and outfield respectively. That is, the
EUSD is proposing a lighting system that IESNA would not recognize as one suitable for safe play
in either football, soccer, or baseball, each of which is a proposed use of the sports fields. This
suggests that at some point in the future when the inadequacy of the lighting for safe play is obvious,

3
perhaps after a student athlete is seriously injured, then the lighting will be increased to safe play
levels and the lighting will then certainly have a significant impact on the residences to the north on
53rd Street and possibly to the residences to the west in Emery Bay Village.

Figure 17b shows that under Scenario A, which is competitive athletic use, at least one portion of
the north side of 53rd street can expect 1.97 footcandles of spill light and another portion is
expected to receive 1.95 footcandles. These levels are so close to the 2.0 footcandle threshold that
any increase in the lighting during competitive athletic use would be almost certain to exceed that
threshold and have a significant unmitigated impact. Thus the EUSDs proposal sets in motion a
chain of events that will inevitably result in an unmitigated significant impact.

2. Agricultural and Forestry Resources

No comments.

3. Air Quality

significant impact which would violate an air quality standard or contribute substantially to an
existing or projected air quality violation which may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation
Measure AIR-1.

On page 60, the MND states, ...the proposed project would not...substantially increase vehicle
miles traveled. This conclusory statement is not credible and unsupported by the evidence. The
MND states on page 60, ...the project is expected to generate a maximum of 450 peak hour trips.
This statement too is not supported with specific evidence. For a project, once completed, that
would be built to accommodate a maximum of 900 students and 90 teachers/staff (MND at p. 16)
and which would include structures for community and school multi-purpose rooms; an
administrative and community services building; a community and student library; classroom spaces
for K-12 students; a school gymnasium; and outdoor sports and recreation features, providing
services, a majority of which that previously were sited at other locations, should necessarily increase
vehicle miles traveled substantially and generate a maximum of peak hour trips far in excess of 450,
which in turn would result in reduced air quality.

Mitigation Measure AIR-1 implements only construction practices during construction of the
project and therefore is completely ineffective at mitigating potential substantial impacts from
operational emissions.

The MND at Table 11 provides project emission estimates without any explanation of the numbers
assumed or the sources of emissions considered. Appendix B also sheds no light on the justification

4
of the assumptions used, the method of analysis undertaken, or explanation of any calculations
whatsoever. Instead the MND simply provides numbers in boxes without any justification.

4. Biological Resources

significant impact which would have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on at least two species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in
local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game
or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and that would not be mitigated.

The MND at page 66 states, No protected species are known to occur within the project site.
However, Canada Geese (the Aleutian Cackling Goose) are a federally protected migratory bird
species
1
and are currently seen frequently on the sites fields, as they have been for many years past.
See Community Commenters Illustration 1.

Additionally, currently and for the past several years, it has been known that Cooper's Hawks
(Accipiter cooperii) have an active nest that has seen chicks produced annually in trees in Temescal
Creek Park, 0.3 miles east of the proposed project site.
2
This species is also protected by the federal
Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The range over which they hunt extends at least 0.3 miles from their
nesting site. See Community Commenters Illustration 2.

These species are also protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species
of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The conclusion that Implementation of the proposed project
would not have a significant direct or indirect effect on protected species. is unsupported by
analysis.

Instead, the proposed project would remove the grass sports fields and replace them with an
artificial turf. This habitat modification would have a significant direct impact on the Canada Geese
that are frequently seen feeding on these fields and to the extent such a modification also reduced
the attractiveness of the fields for species such as squirrels, sparrows, jays and others known to make
up the diet of Coopers Hawks, this destruction of the grassy fields may have an indirect substantial
impact on the Coopers Hawks.

significant impact on a riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or
regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measure BIO-1, Mitigation
Measures HYD-1, and HYD-2.

The MND states at page 66 that, The proposed project would result in a new outfall connection to
the [Temescal Creek] culvert and the project site eventually drains to the San Francisco Bay, which
hosts a variety of sensitive natural communities. Runoff from the project site could adversely affect
water quality in the Bay and associated natural communities.

The MND does not address whether runoff from the project site will be affected by the projects
use of an artificial turf surface instead of the grass presently on site. Many synthetic turf surfaces
incorporate crumb rubber, and may include lead, phthalates, Bisphenol-A (BPA), and other
chemicals of concern. The MND does not address whether materials related to the installation of
the artificial turf or water that has been in contact with the artificial turf will significantly impact the
water quality in the Bay.

The Mitigation Measures BIO-1, HYD-1, and HYD-2 do not specifically address potential
contaminants from the synthetic turf or water contact with the synthetic turf.

Comment # 7: The Community Commenters believe that the project may have a potentially
significant impact which would interfere substantially with the movement of a native resident or
migratory wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors which
may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measure BIO-2.

Despite the project sites location in an urban environment, observation of the site demonstrates
that the site is a part of a natural migratory wildlife corridor used by Canada Geese (the Aleutian
Cackling Goose). The destruction of the grass-covered sports fields and their replacement with
synthetic turf seems likely to interfere substantially with the current natural migration of the Geese.
Mitigation Measure BIO-2 addresses only nesting concerns, not the almost daily use of the site by
the Geese for feeding and as part of a larger migration corridor. Therefore this potentially significant
impact may not be adequately mitigated.

5. Cultural Resources

significant impact that would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an
archaeological resource pursuant to 15064.5 that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation
Measures CULT-1.

7
The MND states at page 75 that, Due to the project sites proximity to several recorded prehistoric
archaeological sites along Temescal Creek, historical archaeological site CA-ALA-634H, and
development of the project site by at least 1902, there is a high possibility of identifying subsurface
archaeological deposits and human remains during project ground-disturbing activities.

Mitigation Measures CULT-1 is entirely phrased in terms of what should be done, not in terms of
what the EUSD will do to address this potentially significant impact. Archaeological monitoring
should be conducted, The monitoring should be done in accordance with, and as guided by, an
Archaeological Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (AMEP), The AMEP should be approved by
the District, The AMEP should be prepared by professionals, and so on throughout
(emphases added). As currently written, it is unclear that Mitigation Measures CULT-1 actually
commits the EUSD to doing anything, therefore it may not adequately mitigate these potentially
significant impacts.

significant impact that would directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site
or unique geological feature that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measure CULT-2.

The MND states at page 76 that, There is the possibility of encountering significant paleontological
resources (fossils) in the Pleistocene alluvium underlying the project site.

However, once again, Mitigation Measure CULT-2 is entirely phrased in terms of what should or
may be done, not in terms of what the EUSD will do to address this potentially significant impact.
all ground-disturbing activities within 25 feet should be redirected, adverse effects to
paleontological resources should be mitigated, Mitigation may include, Public educational
outreach may also, and a report should be prepared (emphases added) As currently
written, it is unclear that Mitigation Measure CULT-2 actually commits the EUSD to doing anything,
therefore it may not adequately mitigate these potentially significant impacts.

significant impact that would disturb human remains, including those interred outside of formal
cemeteries that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures CULT-1.

The MND states at page 76 only that, Implementation of Mitigation Measures CULT-1 would
reduce this potential impact However, the EUSD does not state that Mitigation Measures
CULT-1 will be implemented and thus it is not clear that the EUSD has committed to doing
anything in response to the potential to discover human remains during construction and therefore
this potentially significant impact may not be adequately mitigated.

8
6. Geology and Soils

significant impact that would expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,
including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking that is not
adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures GEO-1a, GEO-1b, and GEO-1c.

The MND at page 78 states that, Ground shaking is likely to occur within the life of the project as
a result of future earthquakes. The closest known active fault to the project site is the Hayward Fault,
which has been mapped in an A-PEFZ approximately 2.8 miles east of the site.

Mitigation Measure GEO-1a proposes a geotechnical investigation to conform with
recommendations presented in the Guidelines for Evaluating Seismic Hazards in California.
However, the MND does not state whether those Guidelines or the EUSDs proposed study would
include a study of the topography using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) or a comparable
technique designed to identify unknown faults on the project site. Earthquakes occur frequently on
previously unknown faults and none of the Mitigation Measures GEO-1a, GEO-1b, or GEO-1c
indicate that competent efforts to detect any previously unknown faults will be undertaken.
Therefore, this potentially significant impact may not be adequately mitigated.

significant impact that would expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,
including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic-related ground failure, including
liquefaction that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measure GEO-1a.

The MND at 79-80 states that, ABAG [Association of Bay Area Governments] has identified the
liquefaction hazard at the project site and vicinity as generally moderate. and that a geotechnical
report conducted concluded that liquefaction-related settlement could be on the order of
approximately two inches in the northeast corner of the site, and 0.1 to 0.5 inches in the remainder
of the site during a design-level seismic event.

However, the MND at 80 proposes only that, Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1a
would reduce the liquification hazard impact (emphasis added) First, as currently conditionally
phrased, it is unclear that the EUSD is committed to any mitigation measures in response to this
potentially significant impact. Second, implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1a would result
solely in a report as described in Mitigation Measure GEO-1a. The report alone, and hence GEO-1a
alone, would do nothing to actually directly address this potentially significant impact. Instead,
Mitigation Measure GEO-1c, which states that the recommendations of the report shall be
implemented might begin to address this potentially significant impact. Without at least the
inclusion of GEO-1c as a mitigation measure alongside GEO-1a, this potentially significant impact
may not be adequately mitigated.

9
significant impact since the project would be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or
that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse that may not be adequately mitigated
by Mitigation Measure GEO-1a.

The MND at 80 states that, Softer compressible soils were encountered below the northern
portions of the K-8 classroom and at 81 states that, Imported fill material was encountered to a
depth of 22 feet in the northeast corner of the site

The MND states that, Mitigation Measure GEO-1a would reduce the potential impacts related to
unstable soils again without actually committing the EUSD to any mitigating measures. The
Community Commenters repeat the concerns of Comment #12 regarding conditional phrasing and
the omission of GEO-1c as a mitigation measure here. Consequently, this potentially significant
impact may not be adequately mitigated.

significant impact since the project would be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of
the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property that may not be
adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measure GEO-1a.

The MND at 81 states that, Expansive soils expand and contract in response to changes in soil
moisture, most notably when near surface soils change from saturated to a low moisture content
condition, and back again. As an initial matter, if this statement is meant to imply that soil will
rebound to its original volume after a round of expansion or contraction, then the Community
Commenters disagree and believe that soil cannot regain its original volume after a round of
expansion or contraction.

The MND continues, The onsite soils include clay materials that are potentially expansive.
However, the MND then states that, Mitigation measures may include (emphasis added) again
without actually committing the EUSD to any of the potentially mitigating measures listed. Then
again the MND states that, Mitigation Measure GEO-1a would reduce the potential expansive soils
impact (emphasis added) The Community Commenters repeat the concerns of Comment #12
regarding conditional phrasing and the omission of GEO-1c as a mitigation measure here.
Consequently, this potentially significant impact may not be adequately mitigated.

7. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

significant impact that would generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that
may have a significant impact on the environment that may not be adequately mitigated.

10

The MND at pages 81-82 and in Appendix B again presents numbers in boxes without any
explanation of the assumptions used to generate such numbers. The MND presents the total annual
emissions as 949.03 metric tons without supporting evidence or explanation. Any emissions,
particularly from transportation or electricity, whose total exceeded 150.97 metric tons per year
would therefore exceed the BAAQMDs significance threshold of 1,100 metric tons per year. Thus,
if the MNDs unexplained estimates are off by just 16%, then the project would generate
greenhouse gas emissions in excess of BAAQMDs significance threshold. Consequently this
potentially significant impact may not be adequately mitigated.

significant impact that would conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the
purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that may not be adequately mitigated by
Mitigation Measure GHG-1.

The Community Commenters believe that this proposal for the project would have numerous
potentially significant impacts that would conflict with the objectives of the Emeryville General Plan
and obstruct their attainment. The Community Commenters also believe that this proposal for the
project is in numerous ways inconsistent with specific policies, general land uses, and programs
specified in Emeryvilles General Plan and other specific plans and adopted for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.

The proposed design for the project conflicts with the objectives of the Emeryville General Plan,
obstructs their attainment, and is inconsistent with General Plan policies primarily because of the
proposed designs for the each edge of the project site. Numerous other aspects of the proposed
project design contribute to these inconsistencies, but in brief the chief flaws in the proposed design
are that:

Comment 16-A: the proposed design of the western edge of the project site lacks the
bicycle/pedestrian path called for in the Emeryville General Plan,

Comment 16-B: the proposed design of the northern edge of the project site obstructs the General
Plans objective of creating an east-west greenway along 53rd Street,

Comment 16-C: the proposed design of the eastern edge of the project site is inconsistent with the
General Plans policies regarding the San Pablo Avenue Urban Design Plan and with the designation
of the entire project site as a Pedestrian Priority Zone, and

Comment 16-D: the proposed design of the southern edge of the project site is inconsistent with
the General Plans policies making this portion of 47th Street a Key Green Street.

11
Emeryvilles General Plan contains ten guiding principles, several relevant here:

Guiding Principle 2 calls for A connected place stating that The General Plan fosters new
connectionsfor automobiles, pedestrians, and bicyclistsbetween the western and eastern halves
of the city; better connections to the Peninsula; and new and safe pedestrian and bicycle linkages to
the San Francisco Bay.

Guiding Principle 3 calls for Enhanced and connected open space network and green streets
stating that, The General Plan outlines strategies for an expanded public realm, building on the
strength and connectivity of the citys greenways, with a range of new parks, plazas, community
commons, and recreational paths.

Guiding Principle 4 calls for A walkable, fine-grained city, emphasizing pedestrians stating that,
The General Plan establishes that all of Emeryville will be easily traversed on foot. A fine-grained
pattern of blocks and streets is a fundamental prerequisite of a walkable and accessible city; the
General Plan promotes walkability through encouragement of active uses, creation of smaller
parcels/blocks and inter-connections as large sites are redeveloped, and improved sidewalks,
pathways, and streetscapes. Where larger buildings may be appropriate, these shall be constructed
with smaller footprints to preserve views and ensure pedestrian access. Where appropriate, in
people-intensive placessuch as retail, office, and residential districtspedestrians will have
priority over automobiles

Guiding Principle 5 calls for A diversity of transportation modes and choices stating that, The
General Plan fosters and provides incentives for alternative transportation modes, including transit,
car/vanpooling, bicycling, walking, and telecommuting. Residents will be able to access stores,
offices, the waterfront, or regional transit networks without needing a car. Land uses capitalize on
Amtrak, AC Transit, and Transbay bus lines, and proximity to BART, and are integrated with the
Emery Go-Round that extends to within walking distance of most locations. Bicycle paths link
housing, activity centers, and recreational amenities, and are buffered where feasible from
automobiles to further safety.

Guiding Principle 9 calls for sustainability and innovation, with respect for the past stating that,
The Emeryville community strives to live within means that do not compromise the ability of
future generations in Emeryville to enjoy a livable, healthy, and vibrant city. The Plan encourages
redevelopment of contaminated land as a healthy and cost-effective way of improving the local
environment, use of green construction techniques, and a lifestyle with low ecological impacts
upon energy consumption, climate, and the natural environment.

These principles reflect the purposes of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases and avoiding or
mitigating the harmful environmental effects of automobile-centric development. The principles

12
repeatedly emphasize pedestrians and bicycles, and connectivity throughout the city via greenways,
paths, fine-grained blocks, and improved sidewalks that enable a lifestyle with low ecological impacts.

Specific policies within the General Plan put these principles into action and are relevant here.

Policy T-P-13 states, Pedestrian routes will be provided across large blocks, pursuing creative
options if necessary such as purchasing private alleys, designating pathways through buildings, and
acquiring public access easements. Failure to include the bicycle/pedestrian path along the western
property edge of the project site is inconsistent with this policy. Even in Phase 2, see Figure 5, the
project drawings show no bicycle-pedestrian path on the western border of the project site, as
required by the Emeryville General Plan. The description of Phase 2 on pages 31 and 32 of the
MND makes no mention of the addition of a bicycle-pedestrian path on the western border, as
required by the Emeryville General Plan. It also notes that the timing of Phase 2 will be dependent
on availability of additional bond funds. However, the amortization schedules of the currently issued
bonds, Series A-D, show that the EUSD cannot issue additional bonds within the next 30 years
unless the assessed valuation in Emeryville consistently exceeds the optimistic assumptions the
EUSD relies upon of 4% annual assessed valuation growth. Increases beyond these optimistic
assumptions are so unlikely that the possibility of a Phase 2 at all is extremely remote and even if
possible, would likely be decades in the future. Compliance with the General Plan therefore cannot
be postponed until Phase 2 both because there likely will never be a Phase 2 and because if there
will be, it is so far in the distant future as to have effects equivalent to failing to follow Emeryvilles
General Plan.

Policy T-P-14 states, Establish Pedestrian Priority Zones in Neighborhood Centers, around schools,
and in other locations as indicated in Figure 3-4, where wider sidewalks, street lighting, crosswalks,
and other pedestrian amenities are emphasized. Link these zones to adjacent land uses to ensure that
building frontages respect pedestrians Figure 3-6 in Emeryvilles General Plan, as well as other
specific plans and policies, shows 53rd Street as a bicycle boulevard and Figure 3-4 in Emeryvilles
General Plan, as well as other specific plans and policies, shows 53rd Street and 47th Street as Key
Green Streets. Figure 3-4 also shows the entire project site as a Pedestrian Priority Zone. The
proposed project is inconsistent with each of these. In particular 53rd Street is not designed as the
critically important east-west greenway repeatedly referenced in both the General Plans Guiding
Principles and specific policies.

In general, numerous goals and policies, particularly within the Transportation, Urban Design,
Conservation, Safety, and Noise, and the Sustainability sections of the General Plan are relevant to
and inconsistent with the designs proposed for the project, yet the MND focuses narrowly on the
Climate Action Plan as the only relevant policy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is
not a defensible reading of Emeryvilles General Plan, which is motivated by such an aim
throughout most of its objectives, goals, and policies. Consequently, the proposed design, through

13
numerous inconsistencies with these policies, creates a conflict with policies adopted for the purpose
of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that may not be adequately mitigated.

8. Hazards and Hazardous Materials

significant impact that would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials
into the environment that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures HAZ-1 and
HAZ-2.

The MND at 87 identifies six recognized environmental conditions on the project site and discusses
the details of contaminants found at the site such as asbestos and lead in what follows at 88-90. The
MND summarizes at 90 that, Hazardous materials, including metal and organic compounds, may
be present in shallow soils, soil vapor, groundwater, at the project site from current and past land
uses onsite and adjacent to the site. Hazardous building materials including lead and asbestos have
been reported onsite. Direct contact, inhalation, or ingestion of hazardous materials could
potentially cause adverse health effects to construction workers and future site users. However, the
MND then states that, Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce
potentially significant impacts (emphasis added) without committing the EUSD to the actual
implementation of the mitigation measures HAZ-1 and HAZ-2 that follow. Consequently this

Comment #18: Furthermore, the Community Commenters believe that the project may have a
potentially significant impact that would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment
through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures HAZ-1
and HAZ-2 because it is located immediately north of the AC Transit bus yard which contains a
hydrogen refueling station and hydrogen gas tanks that exploded in May 2012 prompting the closure
of the Emery Secondary School on the proposed project site and the evacuation of the nearby Pixar
Studios.
3

Nothing within mitigation measures HAZ-1 or HAZ-2 addresses the known significant hazard
posed to the occupants of the proposed site by the threat of a hydrogen gas tank explosion.
Consequently this potentially significant impact may not be adequately mitigated.

significant impact that would impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan that may not be adequately mitigated.

The City of Emeryville has designated the gymnasium on the project site as the Citys emergency
shelter in the event of an emergency. The proposed project includes the renovation of this
gymnasium. However, nothing in the MND addresses the time frame during which such
renovations might make the gymnasium unsuitable as an emergency shelter or what arrangements
have been made for an alternative emergency shelter site during the gymnasiums renovation.
Consequently this potentially significant impact may not be adequately mitigated.

9. Hydrology and Water Quality

significant impact that would substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate
or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site that may not
be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures HYD-1, HYD-2, or HYD-3.

The MND at 98 states that, replacement of the existing natural turf athletic field with an artificial
surface would result in changes in the area and location of impervious surfaces.

Other communities have had the same experience, finding that some artificial turf surfaces do not
drain in ways comparable to natural grass and can cause flooding and damage of not only the
athletic field surface, but of nearby properties and public right of ways. Residents in North Collins,
NY experienced flooding due to a nearby artificial turf athletic field in areas that had never before
experienced flooding and suffered significant repeated property damage as a result.
4
The villages of
Ridgewood and Glen Rock, New Jersey experienced a similar problem, blaming artificial turf at a
high school for pushing water onto nearby residences.
5

Neither the MND nor the Mitigation Measures HYD-1, HYD-2, or HYD-3 address the potentially
significant impact that the artificial turf surface might have on increasing the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site. Consequently this

significant impact that would create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity or

planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff
that may not be adequately mitigated by Mitigation Measures HYD-1, HYD-2, or HYD-3.

The MND at 99 states that, Implementation of a required SWPPP (Mitigation Measure HYD-1)
and a SCP (Mitigation Measure HYD-2) would be expected to reduce potential pollutants and result
in lower flows to the storm water drainage system than under current conditions. (emphasis added)
As currently written, it is unclear that the EUSD is committed to doing anything, therefore
potentially significant impacts may not be adequately mitigated.

In particular, neither the MND, nor Mitigation Measures HYD-1, HYD-2, and HYD-3 address
whether the planned artificial turf athletic fields may create or contribute runoff water which would
exceed the capacity or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional
sources of polluted runoff. Consequently this potentially significant impact may not be adequately
mitigated.

10. Land Use and Planning

significant impact because the project conflicts with applicable land use plans, policies, and
regulations of agencies with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the Emeryville
General Plan, specific plans, local coastal programs, or zoning ordinances) adopted for the purpose
of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect that may not be adequately mitigated.

The Community Commenters reincorporate Comment #16 and its subparts A-D. The MNDs
narrow focus on stating that the project site is designated as public use and that the proposal
would be consistent with that designation ignores the numerous other goals and policies of the
General Plan and specific plans, adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental
effect, with which the proposed designs are inconsistent and which therefore may have a potentially
significant impact that may not be adequately mitigated.

No comments.

16. Transportation/Traffic

significant impact that would conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing
measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all
modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components

16
of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways,
pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit that may not be adequately mitigated.

Emeryvilles General Plan includes policy T-P-3 which states, The City does not recognize Level
of Service (LOS) as a valid measure of overall transportation operations LOS shall not be used
to measure transportation performance in environmental review documents Instead Emeryvilles
General Plan adopts a policy of evaluating transportation performance under a Quality of Service or
QOS method. The MNDs reliance on an LOS analysis and failure to provide an appropriate
QOS analysis as required by Emeryvilles General Plan makes the MND inadequate. A full EIR
should be prepared that provides an appropriate QOS analysis.

Additionally, the MND from page 142 to 169 provides at least 15 recommendation[s] but none of
the recommendations are phrased as mitigation measures that the EUSD will commit to
implementing. Without at least the implementation of all of these recommendations, numerous
potentially significant impacts may not be adequately mitigated.

significant impact that would conflict with adopted polices, plans, or programs regarding public
transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such
facilities that may not be adequately mitigated.

The MND recognizes at 158 that, With the project, traffic volumes on 53rd Street are expected to
increase by approximately 1,200 to 1,500 [vehicles per day (VPD)] between San Pablo Avenue and
Boyer Street and that Emeryvilles Pedestrian Bicycle Plan indicates that traffic volumes on bicycle
boulevards should be below 1,500 VPD for bicycle boulevards east of Hollis Street. The MND
does not commit the EUSD to following Recommendation 13, which itself is inadequate to create
sufficient traffic calming for this critical east-west greenway.

The Community Commenters reincorporate here Comment #16 and its subparts A-D, as the failure
to include the bicycle/pedestrian path on the western property edge and the inadequacy of bicycle
parking in the proposed project remain inconsistent with numerous General Plan and specific plan
objectives, goals, and policies, and thereby decrease the performance or safety of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities in ways that may not be adequately mitigated.

17. Utilities and Service Systems

significant impact that would require or result in the construction of new stormwater drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects that may not be adequately mitigated.

17
The MND at 163 states that, The proposed project would connect to the existing stormwater
system and would include a new outfall into the Temescal Creek culvert. The project would not
increase impervious surfaces at the site This appears to be contradicted by the MND at 98 when
it states that, replacement of the existing natural turf athletic field with an artificial surface would
result in changes in the area and location of impervious surfaces. The MND should not be
internally inconsistent.

Neither the MND nor Mitigation Measures HYD-1 and HYD-2 explain the amount or method of
drainage at the project site currently or compare the current situation with estimates regarding
drainage into the proposed new outfall into the Temescal Creek culvert. Where will the new outfall
be located? What drainage sources would be or would be likely to pass through this new outfall and
in what amounts? Is there a likelihood of contaminated sources passing through this outfall, into
Temescal Creek, and eventually into the San Francisco Bay? The lack of answers to questions such
as these and the inconsistent description of the changes to the area and location of impervious
surfaces at the site leads the Community Commenters to believe that a potentially significant impact
that would require or result in the construction of new stormwater drainage facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects may not be
adequately mitigated.

18. Mandatory Findings of Significance

significant impact because the project has the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to
drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory that may not be adequately
mitigated.

The MND at 168 states that, implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3,
CULT-1, and CULT-2 would ensure that potential impacts (emphasis added) As currently written,
it is unclear that the EUSD is committed to doing anything, therefore potentially significant impacts
may not be adequately mitigated.

significant impact because the project has impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable that may not be adequately mitigated.

Numerous potentially significant impacts considered in these comments may be individually limited,
but cumulatively they are considerable because, as described in these comments, the EUSDs
proposed mitigation measures often appear to be incomplete or ineffective, and most frequently

18
appear to be merely hypothetical and lack any commitment on the EUSDs part to actually
implement the mitigation measures discussed. In particular the ways in which numerous project
proposals combine to make the overall project obstruct the Emeryville General Plans objective of a
bicycle and pedestrian-centric well-connected city are cumulatively considerable and may not be
adequately mitigated.

significant impact because the project has environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly that may not be adequately mitigated.

As described in these comments, the EUSDs proposed mitigation measures often appear to be
incomplete or ineffective, and most frequently appear to be merely hypothetical and lack any
commitment on the EUSDs part to actually implement the mitigation measures discussed, and
therefore potentially significant impacts which will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly may not be adequately mitigated.

Conclusion
The EUSD should prepare a full Environmental Impact Report to consider feasible alternatives to
existing project proposals that the Community Commenters believe may have a potentially
significant impact that may not be adequately mitigated.

The EUSD should also consider feasible alternatives to existing project proposals that would not
obstruct the attainment of the objectives of the Emeryville General Plan and that would be
consistent with policies, general land uses, and programs specified in Emeryvilles General Plan and
in specific plans.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Response to Comment Letter Submitted by the Community Commenters on
Emeryville Center of Community Life Draft Initial Study Mitigated Negative
Declaration

Attached please find responses to CEQA-related comments provided in the Community Commenters
letter dated July 11, 2013, on the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) on the
Emeryville Center of Community Life project . The following provides a response to the comments
received. These responses are provided at a level of detail commensurate with that of the comments.
These responses are in no way meant to limit the District's ability to reference any other portions of
the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration in greater detail in the future for any reason. Upon review
and consideration of each comment, LSA finds that no new or more severe significant impacts have
been identified than those already identified and mitigated in the IS/MND, and that no new mitigation
measures or alternatives that would further substantially reduce impacts have been identified or
proposed beyond those already proposed in the IS/MND and incorporated into the project. Based on
this analysis, LSA confirms that the mitigation measures necessary to avoid or reduce project-related
impacts to a less-than-significant level are identified and incorporated and made a part of this
Mitigated Negative Declaration. These mitigation measures have been agreed to by the District, and
therefore, the project would not result in significant environmental impacts, and an MND is the
appropriate CEQA document to be adopted.

The responses in this memorandum are keyed to the comments numbered within the comment letter.
If text changes to the IS/MND Document or Mitigation Measures are proposed, they are shown
within this memorandum with new text shown in underline and deleted text shown in strikeout.

The following introductory comments are made to provide general clarification:

1. Should the School Board of Trustees adopt the Emeryville Center of Community Life
(ECCL) IS/MND, the Board will also adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP). As noted in Section 15097 of the CEQA Guidelines:

In order to ensure that the mitigation measures and project revisions identified in the EIR or negative
declaration are implemented, the public agency shall adopt a program for monitoring or reporting on
the revisions which it has required in the project and the measures it has imposed to mitigate or avoid
significant environmental effects. A public agency may delegate reporting or monitoring
responsibilities to another public agency or to a private entity which accepts the delegation; however,
until mitigation measures have been completed the lead agency remains responsible for ensuring that
implementation of the mitigation measures occurs in accordance with the program.

2

2. It should be noted that CEQA does not require mitigation measures to be prepared unless s a
significant environmental impact has been identified.

3. CEQA requires the evaluation of physical environmental impacts associated with a proposed
project. As set forth by CEQA Guidelines, inconsistencies between the project and applicable
General Plan and other policies do not constitute impacts in and of themselves. A policy
inconsistency is considered to be a significant adverse environmental impact only when it is
related to a policy adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect,
and it is anticipated that the inconsistency would result in a significant adverse physical
impact based on an established significance criterion.

4. While it has been the Districts intent to comply with City regulations to the maximum extent
feasible, it should be noted that the District is a State institution, and therefore exempt from
local land use regulations when land use development is used to further its educational
mission.

5. Evaluation of project alternatives are not required as part of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration.

Responses to Comments

Comment #1. The following text changes are proposed to the IS/MND to provide further clarification
that the Musco back visors will be installed on field lights as part of the project.

The following text revisions are made to page 45 of the IS/MND:

Musco back visors can will be installed on field lights to further reduce off-site light
trespass where specific neighboring site conditions warrant.


Athletic Use (six poles in use); Scenario B: Recreation and Community Use (four poles
in use); and Scenario C: Clean-up Use (minimal lights on) to allow for field light
levels at the lowest acceptable setting for safety depending on the type of field use.
This includes flexibility of light level settings for practices where the full competitive
safety light levels may not be needed.
UnlessIf a District game or City-sponsored event is occurring, all lighted use of the
field shall conclude at 8:30 p.m., with lighting turned off at 9:00 10:00 p.m. This 9:00
p.m. ending time coincides with the required time for end use of the PA system. For all
other events, use of the field shall conclude at 8:30 p.m., with lighting turned off at
9:00 p.m.

3

Comment #2. All of the Musco fixtures that are proposed have external visors installed that shield the
light coming out of the front of the fixture. The use of back visors to reduce the amount of light
behind the pole has been, and will be, applied on a light fixture by fixture basis in the proposed
lighting plan and during installation to help meet the need for basic safety on the field and to screen
spill light. Using back visors can degrade the performance on the field, so where these visors need to
be used to reduce light spill has been, and will continue to be, closely evaluated when the lights are
installed and are adjusted. The proposed lighting design balances the off-site spill and glare while
meeting IES light level and safe-play uniformity standards on the fields as well as being IDA (Dark
Skies) compliant. The District will adjust and install back visors where necessary to meet the light
levels identified and evaluated in the IS/MND such that spill light would be under the maximum 2.0
footcandle threshold on adjacent properties and safe play can take place on the fields. Therefore no
additional impacts associated with light and glare will occur as part of the project that would not be
mitigated by Mitigation Measure AES-1. The appropriate application of the fixture visors, as well as,
back visors will allow for controlled spill and glare while meeting safe and playable lighting
standards on the fields.

Comment #3. As stated in response to Comment #2, the proposed lighting design and adjustments
during installation will balance the off-site spill and glare while meeting IES light level and safe-play
uniformity standards on the fields. The District will adjust and install back visors where necessary to
meet the light levels identified and evaluated in the IS/MND such that spill light would be under the
maximum 2.0 footcandle threshold on adjacent properties and safe play can take place on the fields.

Comment #4. The section that the commenter is referring to is titled Localized CO Impacts. The
Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has established a screening methodology
that provides a conservative indication of whether the implementation of a proposed project would
result in significant CO emissions. According to the BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, the
proposed project results in less-than-significant impacts to localized CO concentrations because the
following screening criteria were met:

The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program established by the
county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways, regional transportation
plan, and local congestion management agency plans;
vehicles per hour; and
vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited (e.g., tunnel,
parking garage, bridge underpass, natural or urban street canyon, below-grade roadway).

The proposed project would not conflict with an applicable congestion management program for
designated roads or highways, the regional transportation plan or other agency plans. Additionally,
traffic volumes on roadways in the project vicinity are less than 5,000 vehicles per hour (significantly
less than the 44,000 vehicle per hour threshold). While the commenter is correct in noting that the
incorrect peak hour trips are indicated in the text (the correct peak hour trips would be 686 AM peak
hour trips), this is still significantly below the 30,000+ peak hour trips that the project would need to

4
generate to result in a localized CO impact. It should be noted that all air quality modeling assumed a
686 AM peak hour rate and accounted for all net new regional trips associated with the project.


The proposed project would not conflict with an applicable congestion management program
for designated roads or highways, the regional transportation plan or other agency plans.
Additionally, traffic volumes on roadways in the project vicinity are less than 5,000 vehicles
per hour, and the project is expected to generate a maximum of 450 686 AM peak hour trips.

Emissions associated with the project are shown in Table 11. As noted in the IS/MND, the California
Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) v.1.1 was used to generate the projected operational
emissions. Use of this air quality model is recommended by the BAAQMD, which is the agency
primarily responsible for regulating air pollution emissions from stationary sources (e.g., factories)
and indirect sources (e.g., traffic associated with new development), as well as for monitoring
ambient pollutant concentrations. Additionally, the significance thresholds identified by the
BAAQMD are also listed in the table, as well as the statement identifying that the project would not
exceed any of the BAAQMD thresholds. Project assumptions used in the model are described in the
Project Description of the IS/MND (pages 5 to 32) as well as the modeling outputs from the traffic
analysis (pages 118 to 159 and Appendix E). Additional details on the specific calculations methods
of analysis incorporated into CalEEMod can be found in Appendix A of the CalEEMod Users Guide
found at www.caleemod.com. As noted in the IS/MND, there would be no significant operational air
quality impacts associated with the project so an operational air quality mitigation measure would not
be warranted.

Comment #5. The IS/MND agree that migratory birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act and CITES, and it is unlawful to pursue, hunt, take, capture or kill; attempt to take, capture or
kill; and possess them. The District has not in the past, and will not in the future undertake these
unlawful activities. However, The existing athletic fields are not considered critical habitat for the
Canada geese or hunting grounds for raptors such as Coopers Hawk, and construction of the project
and improvements such as turf fields will not cause a significant impact on Canada geese and raptors
in Emeryville.

Comment #6. Chemical compounds in artificial turf are regulated and are not be expected to affect
surface water quality. For the type of turf chosen, the District is required to provide proof of ISO
9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications. A study by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation did not identify significant chemical leaching from crumb-rubber
infilled synthetic turf fields.
1
Laboratory testing of stormwater runoff from a synthetic turf field
performed in that study did not identify volatile organic compounds or semi-volatile organic
compounds above laboratory detection limits. Metals detected in the runoff were below established
surface water quality standards. Although leaching of certain compounds from artificial turf was
noted in one type of laboratory tests, the study concluded that under real world conditions no adverse
effects to aquatic life would result from use of this type of synthetic turf fields. The attached figure
showing the Stormwater Management Plan shows additional information regarding drainage on the
project site.

Leaching, Releases to Air and Temperature at Crumb-Rubber Infilled Synthetic Turf Fields, May.

Comment #7. As described in the response to Comment #5, the existing sports fields are not critical
habitat for the Canada geese and other native and migratory birds that may occasionally use or rest on
the site. Replacement of the grass with turf would not interfere with the movement or migratory
patterns of native or migratory wildlife, and no significant impact would occur.

Comment #8. To provide further clarification that the District will perform all identified mitigation
measures, the following text revisions are made to pages 75-76 of the IS/MND:

Mitigation Measures CULT-1: Archaeological monitoring should shall be conducted for
construction-related ground disturbance below soil that is demonstrated to be fill in the project
site. The monitoring should shall be done in accordance with, and as guided by, an
Archaeological Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (AMEP) prepared and implemented for the
project. The purpose of the AMEP is to ensure that significant archaeological deposits
discovered during construction are identified, evaluated, and appropriately treated through the
use of a pre-established research design and field evaluation strategy, consistent with the
requirements of CEQA Guidelines 15126.4 (b)(3)(C). The AMEP should shall be approved by
the District well in advance of construction, and its implementation should shall be made a
condition of the issuance of a grading or building permit for the project. The AMEP should
shall be prepared by professionals who meet the Secretary of the Interiors Professional
Qualifications Standards in historical archaeology and prehistoric archaeology.

The AMEP should shall include a construction monitoring component and an evaluation
component. The monitoring component of the AMEP should shall refine the archaeological
sensitivity of the project site to: (1) identify areas that will be subject to monitoring; (2) define
the frequency of monitoring; and (3) identify those areas with little to no possibility of
containing intact deposits. This assessment should shall focus on the project sites land use
history based on historical maps and photographs, past site improvement/utilities construction
plans, historical documents, and soils/geotechnical information. The possibility for encountering
human remains during construction should shall also be addressed by consultation with the
appropriate descendant groups.

of discoveries made during archaeological monitoring. The evaluation component should shall
evaluation process should shall be addressed, and procedures for the respectful treatment of
such remains should shall be developed through consultation with descendant communities
prior to the final draft of the AMEP.

measures, the following text revisions are made to page 76 of the IS/MND:

subsurface construction activities, all ground-disturbing activities within 25 feet should shall be

6
paleontological resources should shall be mitigated. Mitigation may include monitoring,
recording the fossil locality, data recovery and analysis, a final report, and accessioning the
fossil material and technical report to a paleontological repository. Public educational outreach
may also be appropriate. Upon completion of the assessment, a report documenting methods,
findings, and recommendations should shall be prepared and submitted to the District for
review, and (if paleontological materials are recovered) a paleontological repository, such as
the University of California Museum of Paleontology.

Comment #10. Please see Response to Comment #8.

Comment #11. No active or potentially active faults are known to be present in Emeryville. The
Guidelines for Evaluating Seismic Hazards in California cited in Mitigation Measure GEO-1a
requires the evaluation of risks from all known active and historic seismic source zones taking into
account all available historical seismicity data, including available paleoseismic data, the geologic
risk rate of regional active faults, and site-specific response characteristics. These guidelines address
all reasonably foreseeable seismic effects at the project site.

Comment #12. The following text revisions are made to page 80 of the IS/MND:

Therefore, the liquefaction hazard is potentially significant unless mitigation is incorporated.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures GEO-1a and GEO-1c would reduce the liquefaction
hazard impact to a less-than-significant level.

measures, the following text revisions are made to page 81 of the IS/MND:

Implementation of Mitigation Measures GEO-1a and GEO-1c, which requires the project
applicant to include analysis of the potential for unstable soils impacts as part of the design-
level geotechnical investigation to be prepared for the proposed project, would will reduce
the potential impacts related to unstable soils impacts to a less-than-significant level.

measures, the following text revision is made to page 81 of the IS/MND:


Comment #15. As noted in the IS/MND, the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod)
v.2011.1.1 was used to estimate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the project. Use of this
model is recommended by the BAAQMD, which is the agency primarily responsible for regulating
air pollution emissions from stationary sources (e.g., factories) and indirect sources (e.g., traffic
associated with new development), as well as for monitoring ambient pollutant concentrations.
Project assumptions used in the model are described in the Project Description of the IS/MND (pages

7
5 to 32) as well as the modeling outputs from the traffic analysis (pages 118 to 159 and Appendix E).
Additional information about CalEEMod can be found at www.caleemod.com.

Comment #16. CEQA requires the evaluation of physical environmental impacts associated with a
proposed project. As set forth by CEQA Guidelines, inconsistencies between the project and
applicable General Plan and other policies do not constitute impacts in and of themselves. A policy
inconsistency is considered to be a significant adverse environmental impact only when it is related to
a policy adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect, and it is
anticipated that the inconsistency would result in a significant adverse physical impact based on an
established significance criterion. The commenters letter does not provide specific examples of how
an inconsistency results in a specific significant adverse physical impact based on the checklist
criteria.

Additionally, it should be noted that whether or not the District has met the policies and goals of the
Emeryville General Plan or other plans is a subjective assessment. The District created a site plan
with pedestrian and bicycle amenities, encourages various forms of modes of transportation, and does
not preclude any improvements noted by the comment letter at some point in the future. It should also
be noted that the comment letter provided by the City of Emeryville did not raise any concerns about
the project not being consistent with the Emeryville General Plan.


Implementation of the following mitigation measures would will reduce potentially
significant impacts associated with potential hazardous materials in soil, soil vapor,
groundwater, and building materials at the project site to a less-than-significant level:

Comment #18. The school classrooms, services and facilities developed under the project are subject
to a number of State requirements for emergency safety and evacuation plans which, have, and would
protect future students and workers from an accident at or near the school. School Districts have a
legal responsibility to be prepared to meet emergencies (California Government Code Section 3100).
A comprehensive Safe School Plan is required under Education Code Section 35294.2. A civil
defense and disaster preparedness plan must be prepared and tested at least twice a year (Education
Code 33031). Therefore, the Safe School Plan anticipates emergency situations, such as the previous
hydrogen gas tank accident at the AC Transit bus yard, and has in place safety and evacuation plans
to which the District will continue to adhere.

Comment #19. Any improvements to the gym would not change the use of the site as a potential
evacuation site. The construction period associated with improvements would be limited in duration,
and would not result in a significant impact related to implementation of or physical interference with
an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. As part of the update to the
Citys safety plan, the City and District will work together to identify a secondary location during
construction and improvement of the gym.

Comment #20. The artificial turf would be considered an impervious surface under stormwater
regulations and the project is required to comply with the Water Boards Municipal Regional Permit
(MRP), cited in Mitigation Measure HYD-2. Stormwater runoff from the field will be captured and
treated in accordance with Provision C.3 of the MRP. No flooding impacts would result.

8

Comment #21. The text of the IS/MND reads Implementation of a required SWPPP indicating
that the District will implement the identified mitigation measures. Additionally, as noted previously,
the District will implement all mitigation measures within the IS/MND.

Please see Response to Comment #6 for a discussion of artificial turf.

Comment #22. Please see Response to Comment #16.

Comment #23. The City of Emeryville General Plan Policy T-P-3 states

"A Quality of Service standard that seeks to optimize travel by all transportation modes
shall be developed and used to measure transportation performance. The City does not
recognize Level of Service (LOS) as a valid measure of overall transportation operations,
and sets no maximum or minimum acceptable LOS levels, with the exception of streets that
are part of the regional Congestion Management Agency network. (These streets may change,
but as of 2008 included San Pablo Avenue, Frontage Road, and Powell and Adeline streets).
LOS shall not be used to measure transportation performance in environmental review
documents or for any other purpose unless it is mandated by another agency over which the
City has no jurisdiction (such as Caltrans, Berkeley, Oakland, and the Congestion
Management Agency), and then it shall only be used for the purposes mandated by that
agency."

The City is currently in the process of developing transportation impact study guidelines that will
specify the required analysis necessary to further the City's General Plan Goals. As guidelines have
not yet been established and adopted, the scope of work for the evaluation of the potential impacts of
the ECCL was reviewed by City staff and is similar to other recent analyses prepared for land use
developments within the City. Levels of service were calculated for vehicles, as well as transit,
bicycle and pedestrians. Additionally, as the Project would increase traffic along San Pablo Avenue,
which is part of the Congestion Management Agency network, as well as a State Route, guidelines
from both Caltrans and Alameda County Transportation Commission were considered in the
assessment. Changes to the evaluation criteria or analysis methods would not likely result in the
disclosure of impacts previously unidentified.

Comment #24. The City of Emeryville Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan indicates that traffic volumes can
be higher than the threshold for small segments provided additional treatments are provided, which
includes the turn-about proposed as part of the project that would also serve as a traffic calming
device. The bulk of additional traffic from the project along the segment of 53rd Street between
Boyer Avenue and San Pablo Avenue would occur during a 30 minute period in the morning and a 30
minute period in the afternoon on school days, approximately 180 days of the year. On weekends and
non-school days, traffic volumes would be similar to current conditions as access to the community
center would primarily be provided from 47th Street.

Please see Response to Comment #16 for a discussion regarding policy consistency and physical
environmental impacts.

Comment #25. The proposed addition of a new outfall into the on-site culvert would be within the
project site. The inflow (onto the site) and outflow (away from the site) locations would not change

9
from the existing conditions, and the addition of a new outfall into the culvert would not significantly
change existing conditions. Mitigation Measure HYD-1 and HYD-2 would mitigate stormwater
pollutants generated by the project during construction and operation, respectively.


implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, CULT-1, and CULT-2 would
will ensure that potential impacts related to biological and cultural resources would be reduced
to less-than-significant levels. With mitigation, the proposed project would not: 1) substantially
degrade the quality of the environment; 2) substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species; 3) cause a fish or wildlife species population to drop below self-sustaining levels; 4)
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community; 5) reduce the number or restrict the range of
a rare or endangered plant or animal; or 6) eliminate important examples of the major period of
California history.

Comment #27. The comment letter does not identify any information or cite specific cumulative
impacts that were not evaluated in the IS/MND. No further response can be provided.

Comment #29. The comment letter does not identify any information or cite specific environmental
effects that were not evaluated in the IS/MND. No further response can be provided.

Archaeological Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (AMEP) prepared and implemented for the
project. The purpose of the AMEP is to ensure that significant archaeological deposits
discovered during construction are identified, evaluated, and appropriately treated through the
use of a pre-established research design and field evaluation strategy, consistent with the
requirements of CEQA Guidelines 15126.4 (b)(3)(C). The AMEP should shall be approved by
the District well in advance of construction, and its implementation should shall be made a
condition of the issuance of a grading or building permit for the project. The AMEP should
shall be prepared by professionals who meet the Secretary of the Interiors Professional
Qualifications Standards in historical archaeology and prehistoric archaeology.

The AMEP should shall include a construction monitoring component and an evaluation
component. The monitoring component of the AMEP should shall refine the archaeological
sensitivity of the project site to: (1) identify areas that will be subject to monitoring; (2) define
the frequency of monitoring; and (3) identify those areas with little to no possibility of
containing intact deposits. This assessment should shall focus on the project sites land use
history based on historical maps and photographs, past site improvement/utilities construction
plans, historical documents, and soils/geotechnical information. The possibility for encountering
human remains during construction should shall also be addressed by consultation with the
appropriate descendant groups.

of discoveries made during archaeological monitoring. The evaluation component should shall
evaluation process should shall be addressed, and procedures for the respectful treatment of
such remains should shall be developed through consultation with descendant communities
prior to the final draft of the AMEP.


subsurface construction activities, all ground-disturbing activities within 25 feet should shall be
paleontological resources should shall be mitigated. Mitigation may include monitoring,

recording the fossil locality, data recovery and analysis, a final report, and accessioning the
fossil material and technical report to a paleontological repository. Public educational outreach
may also be appropriate. Upon completion of the assessment, a report documenting methods,
findings, and recommendations should shall be prepared and submitted to the District for
review, and (if paleontological materials are recovered) a paleontological repository, such as
the University of California Museum of Paleontology.


Therefore, the liquefaction hazard is potentially significant unless mitigation is incorporated.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures GEO-1a and GEO-1c would reduce the liquefaction
hazard impact to a less-than-significant level.



The following text revision is made to page 81 of the IS/MND:



Implementation of the following mitigation measures would will reduce potentially
significant impacts associated with potential hazardous materials in soil, soil vapor,
groundwater, and building materials at the project site to a less-than-significant level:


implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, CULT-1, and CULT-2 would
will ensure that potential impacts related to biological and cultural resources would be reduced
to less-than-significant levels. With mitigation, the proposed project would not: 1) substantially
degrade the quality of the environment; 2) substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species; 3) cause a fish or wildlife species population to drop below self-sustaining levels; 4)
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community; 5) reduce the number or restrict the range of
a rare or endangered plant or animal; or 6) eliminate important examples of the major period of
California history.

the applicable standards of the Emeryville Planning Regulations (the Record); now, therefore,
be it

Planning Commission Resolution UPDR12-001
ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 2

RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission finds that, based on the Record, no further
environmental review under CEQA is required, and the Commission hereby directs the Planning
Director to file a Notice of Determination with the Alameda County Clerk accordingly; and be it
further

RESOLVED, that in approving UPDR12-001, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings required by Emeryville Municipal Code Sections 9-4.204(d)(2), 9-4.404(g)(1), 9-7.505,
and 9-7.407:

Section 1. Conditional Use Permit Findings for Bonus Height Pursuant to Section 9-
4.204(d)(2):

(a.) That the proposed Project will provide public benefits sufficient to earn the
number of points required for the bonus amount requested.

The site falls within the 30 foot height district that can be increased up to a
bonus height of 55 feet. The proposed heights of the buildings in the facility
vary between 30 feet to a maximum height of 48 feet 6 inches with average
building height of 32 feet. Per Section 9-4.204(b)(1) bonus points needed for
the proposed height is 74 points (Bonus Amount/Bonus Increment x 100 or
18.5/25 x 100).

The Project provides a variety of public benefits including a new city library,
a new community multi-purpose building, community commons, a new
community wellness center and renovated gymnasium and swimming
facilities. Pursuant to Planning Regulations Table 9-4.204(c), item (19),
Flexible Public Benefit, the Planning Commission hereby finds that these
benefits are significant and substantially beyond normal requirements and
therefore qualify for the required 74 points.

Section 2. Conditional Use Permit Findings for Parking Spaces Less than the Minimum
Pursuant to Section 9-4.404(g)(1):

(a) That adequate measures will be put in place to reduce parking demand such as
promoting use of public transit, bicycling, and walking, and allowing modified
working hours and telecommuting;

The Projects off-street parking requirement ranges from a minimum of 63
to a maximum of 105 spaces, while 28 off-street parking spaces are proposed.
The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) prepared for the
Project analyses the Projects actual parking demand by examining
opportunities for shared parking during different times of day. The IS/MND
recommends a number of measures that have been included as conditions of
ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 3

approval. These include provision of a Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) Plan, a parking management plan, and an employee trip reduction
program. These plans aim at reducing parking demand by encouraging use
of public transit, bicycling and walking. The Project provides 124 bicycle
parking spaces that is nearly four times the requirement.

(b) That the reduction or elimination of the required parking spaces will not result in
parking impacts on adjacent uses due to overflow parking;

The reduction of the required parking spaces will not result in parking
impacts on adjacent uses as ample on-street parking will be provided on 47
th

Street west of San Pablo Avenue with few other adjacent uses. On 53
rd
Street,
adjacent uses include low density residential uses that mostly have on-site
parking. With the implementation of the measures described above, the
proposed off-street parking lot and adjacent on-street parking on 47
th
Street,
San Pablo Avenue, and 53
rd
Street will be adequate to serve the proposed use
with no impacts on adjacent uses due to overflow parking.

Section 3. General Conditional Use Permit Findings Pursuant to Section 9-7.505:

(a) The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.

The Emeryville Center of Community Life is an integral part of the General
Plan and is referenced throughout the General Plan. For instance, Guiding
Principle #7, entitled A diverse, balanced, and inclusive community, states
in part The General Plan embraces physical, social, and economic diversity,
and strengthens the community with facilities and programs such as the
Center of Community Life

Further, Policy PP-P-17 stipulates that The City will support the
development of the Emeryville Center of Community Life.

The Land Use Diagram classifies the ECCL site for Public use, which is
described as: A variety of public and quasi-public uses, including
government offices; fire and police facilities; schools; community services;
transit stations and ancillary facilities. The ECCL Project is consistent with
this description.

The Parks, Open Space and Public Services diagram (Figure 4-1) designates
the ECCL site for School District Joint Use and Public Facility, and
specifically labels it ECCL & Emery Secondary School.

ECCL Project
July 25, 2013

Other General Plan goals (G) and policies (P) that are particularly germane,
and with which the ECCL Project is consistent, include:

PP-G-8 A safe, nurturing and enriching environmentAn
environment in which children and youth can flourish and
become contributing members of society. The foundation of
this vision is a strong and active partnership among the City,
School District, and all segments of the community, so that
powerful learning from the earliest years is a citywide
experience and responsibility.

PP-G-10 Vibrancy and diversityExpanded arts, cultural and
recreation programs that celebrate a vibrant diverse
community.

PP-P-15 A strong relationship and communication between City and
Emery Unified School District will be maintained.

PP-P-16 The City will continue to partner with Emery Unified School
District to optimize the joint-use of school facilities for
community use.

PP-P-18 Student engagement and learning will be facilitated through
expanded programs and activities.

PP-P-19 A diversity of lifestyles, ages, and income-levels will be
accommodated through zoning and community facilities and
programming.

PP-P-20 The growing senior citizen community will be supported by
providing appropriate cultural, recreational and assistance
programs and services.

In addition, the ECCL Project is consistent with numerous other goals (G)
and policies (P) of the General Plan, including:

LU-G-1 An overall balance of usesEmployment, residential, cultural,
destination and local retailas well as a full range of amenities
and services necessary to support a vibrant community.

T-P-11 Sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of all streets;
pedestrian connections between new and existing development
is required.
ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 5

T-P-15 Walking will be encouraged through building design and
ensure that automobile parking facilities are designed to
facilitate convenient pedestrian access within the parking area
and between nearby buildings and adjacent sidewalks.
Primary pedestrian entries to nonresidential buildings should
be from the sidewalk, not from parking facilities.

T-P-24 Safe, secure, and convenient short- and long-term bicycle
parking shall be provided near destinations for all users,
including commuters, residents, shoppers, students, and other
bicycle travelers.

T-P-52 Flexible parking standards are encouraged that reflect
calculated parking demand for proposed land uses and that
allow for appropriate offsets to reduce parking demand and
encourage walking, bicycling, carpooling, and transit use.

PP-P-7 An east-west greenway located generally along the path of
Temescal Creek will be created. This will include water
features to celebrate the creek and improvements to the
riparian corridor, where feasible, while maintaining existing
drainage capabilities.

PP-P-10 Efficient use of open space will be achieved through techniques
such as rooftop play courts and gardens, joint use of sports and
recreation facilities at schools, co-location of parks with child
care facilities, and possible use of underground parking below
new plazas and parks.

PP-P-14 Efforts by Emery Unified School District and childcare service
providers to establish, maintain, and improve educational
facilities and services will be supported. Encourage a range of
child care facilities, including family day care homes, public
and private centers, preschool programs, and before and after
school programs.

UD-P-1 The City shall strive to accentuate activity and presence at the
street level, particularly along pedestrian-oriented corridors
and in residential areas.

UD-P-2 Parks and open space is required with new development,
consistent with Figure 4-1 in the Parks, Open Space, Public
Facilities and Services chapter.
ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 6

UD-P-18 The San Pablo Avenue Urban Design Plan will continue to be
used to improve landscaping, and streetscape design and guide
development in the San Pablo Corridor district.

UD-P-24 The City shall establish Pedestrian Priority Zones in Regional
and neighborhood centers, around schools, parks, and in other
locations as indicated in Figure 5-3. While wider sidewalks,
street lighting, bulbed crosswalks, and other pedestrian
amenities should be employed throughout the city, they are
prioritized in these locations.

UD-P-46 Street trees shall be provided on City streets where feasible.
Street trees shall be planted in a row along the curb, between
the vehicle roadway and sidewalk, unless this is physically
impossible due to constraints such as underground water or
sewer lines.

UD-P-47 Streetscape landscaping shall follow Bay-Friendly
Landscaping guidelines and serve the dual purpose of treating
stormwater runoff and providing shade and beauty to the
urban realm.

UD-P-57 The Emeryville Center of Community Life building program
shall be oriented along 53rd Street to complement and provide
access to the greenway and Temescal Creek.

UD-P-65 Buildings should be designed with ground level windows and
building entries along the street.

UD-P-71 Developments adjacent to neighborhood centers, parks or
plazas should create an integrated and memorable relationship
of architecture and open space. Orient primary building
facades and entries to these spaces and maximize visual
interest.

UD-P-72 Public space and plazas for gathering and expanded ground-
floor retail activities are encouraged. These elements enhance
the pedestrian realm and provide opportunities for social
interaction.

CSN-P-10 New development is required to incorporate source control,
site design, and storm water treatment to reduce pollutants in
stormwater runoff.
ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 7

CSN-P-11 Exterior uses of water for landscaping and other purposes
shall be reduced to minimize or eliminate runoff and water
waste.

CSN-P-33 In order to reduce light pollution and use less energy, lighting
(including on streets, recreational facilities, and in parking
areas) should be designed to prevent artificial lighting from
illuminating natural resources or adjacent residential
neighborhoods.

CSN-P-44 The City will continue to require development projects to
implement on-site stormwater management measures through
the Citys development permit process.

ST-P-5 The City shall encourage, promote, practice, and where
feasible, require Bay-Friendly landscaping practices as defined
in the Bay-Friendly Landscape Guidelines, Sustainable
Practices for Landscape Professionals.

The Project has been designed to comply with these goals and policies.

The subject Proposal represents Phase I of the ECCL Project. Although the
Phase I Project does not include a mid-block pedestrian and bicycle path
between 47
th
and 53
rd
Streets, as called for in the General Plan, there is
nothing about the Project that would preclude such a path from being
constructed in the future as part of Phase II. Therefore, the lack of this path,
in and of itself, does not make the Project inconsistent with the General Plan.

The General Plan designation of Neighborhood Centers, Green Streets, and
Pedestrian Priority Zones are implemented through the citywide Emeryville
Design Guidelines. To the extent feasible, the Project complies with these
guidelines. Where strict compliance with the guidelines has not been
achieved, the intent of the guidelines has been met. Therefore, the Project is
consistent with the General Plan provisions for Neighborhood Centers,
Green Streets, and Pedestrian Priority Zones.

The General Plan also references the San Pablo Avenue Urban Design Plan
to improve landscaping, and streetscape design and guide development in the
San Pablo Corridor district. The Project is consistent with this plan and its
design guidelines.

for the past 10 years. As such, it will provide a safe, nurturing and enriching
environment in which children and youth can flourish and become
contributing members of society, as well as recreational, social, cultural and
wellness facilities serving community members of all ages.

(e) The proposed use complies with all applicable standards and requirements of
these Planning Regulations.

The proposed use complies with the Planning Regulations.

Section 4. Design Review Findings Pursuant to Section 9-7.407:

(a) The design of the Project is consistent with the General Plan, including but not
limited to its Urban Design goals and policies;

ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 9

The design of the Project meets Urban Design Goal UD-G-2 (A Diversity of
building types and scales) by providing four new buildings with varying
heights and UD-G-18 (A City Identity) by providing a center that will be
shared by students and residents alike through use of shared space and
programs. The Project is consistent with Urban Design Policies UD-P-46 and
47 by providing 35 new street trees and Bay-friendly streetscape landscaping.

(b) The design of the Project conforms to the Emeryville Design Guidelines and any
other applicable design guidelines or criteria. If strict compliance with the
provisions of such design guidelines or criteria is not achieved, the applicant must
convincingly demonstrate that the intent of the guidelines is met;

Design Guidelines General:

The Project generally complies with the Citys Design Guidelines by
providing the following: undergrounding utility boxes (Guideline A-8);
adequate, bay-friendly street landscaping (Guidelines A-11 to A-15);
screening loading areas (Guideline B-4), visually open pedestrian entries
(Guideline B-7), using permeable paving (B-9), locating bicycle parking near
entrances (B-10); siting buildings and plazas with seating that encourage
interaction between occupants and passersby (Guideline C-2); concealing
mechanical equipment (Guideline C-6); a variation in height and massing
(Guideline D-3); a variation in roof levels and use of awnings and canopies
(Guideline E-6); including operable windows and allow natural ventilation
(Guideline E-7), creating a well-defined corner by providing a small plaza on
53
rd
Street and San Pablo Avenue (Guideline E-10); visible public entrances
with overhangs and plazas and creating building entries with entry plazas
(Guidelines E-12 and E-13); using window design and proportions to add
architectural interest (Guideline F-3); devising color palette that reinforces
building identity (Guideline F-13); providing clear, non-reflective glazing
(Guideline F-15); public open spaces in form of a library court,
community commons and community plaza that are located along the
eastern side, are accessible from the street, and provide seating within bay-
friendly landscaped area (Guidelines G-18, 20, 22 and 23); and signage that
is architectural compatible with the building design, legible and readily
visible (Guidelines H-1, H-3 and H-4).

Design Guidelines Area Specific:

The Project site falls within Neighborhood Retail Overlay (San Pablo Avenue
frontage), contains Green Streets (47
th
and 53
rd
Street); and is within the
Pedestrian Priority zone (San Pablo Avenue, 47
th
and 53
rd
Street frontages).
The Design Guidelines stipulate that, where more than one of these
ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 10

designations applies, if there are inconsistencies between them they shall be
prioritized in the following order: (1) Neighborhood Centers, (2) Green
Streets, and (3) Pedestrian Priority. Thus San Pablo Avenue would be
subject to the provisions for Neighborhood Centers and 47
th
and 53
rd
Streets
would be subject to the provisions for Green Streets. For provisions without
inconsistencies, all applicable provisions would apply.

Neighborhood Retail Overlay and Neighborhood Centers Design Guidelines
The Project complies with Guidelines I-5 and I-7 by providing attractive and
well landscaped entries and settings to the buildings along San Pablo Avenue
and designing the ground floor space with active uses such as a caf,
community multi-purpose space and offices that serve the local community.
Guideline I-8 sets a 15 feet minimum sidewalk width (curb to building face)
with a 3 foot building entry/public space, an 8 foot pedestrian pathway, and
4-foot landscaping/Street furniture along the curb. The proposed sidewalk
width along San Pablo Avenue is 16.6 feet from curb to building wall with
landscaping strips (3 feet) along the building wall, 9.6 feet pedestrian
pathway and a line of existing street trees and street lighting (4 feet including
tree grates). Thus, the San Pablo Avenue frontage complies with the Design
Guidelines for Neighborhood Centers.

Greenway and Green Street Streets Guidelines Forty-Seventh and Fifty-
Third Streets are green streets and the Project complies with Guidelines I-
19 and I-21 by providing well-designed entries for the high school along 47
th

Street and for the K-9 school along 53
rd
Street, and employing Bay-Friendly
trees and landscaping.

Guideline I-23 sets a minimum 15-foot sidewalk corridor that includes a 2-
foot building entry/public space, an 8-foot Pedestrian pathway, and a 5-foot
landscaping/street furniture space. In addition, Guideline I-26 states that
Temescal Creek (flowing in a culvert under 53
rd
Street) should be
represented with a creek feature at the surface. The Project does not meet
these two guidelines.

Along 53
rd
Street, the Project provides a 9.5 feet sidewalk corridor (3 foot
planting strip and a 6.5 foot pedestrian pathway) and does not include a
creek features because of site constraints. A number of options for how to
accomplish a faux creek along 53rd street were explored by the applicant.
This included exposing the creek, diverting site runoff, and diverting street
runoff to create the spirit or character of a creek along the sidewalk.
However, early in the design process it was found that exposing the creek was
not feasible due to the extreme impact on usable Project site area.
Subsequent studies found that diverting site and/or street runoff were also
ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 11

not feasible due to the limitations of the existing grades and curb elevations
along 53
rd
Street. The existing curb along 53rd Street slopes from east to west
at an approximate slope of 1.7 percent, which results in a 10foot grade
differential along the northern boundary of the site. This is directly adjacent
to the sports field which must be held relatively flat to facilitate its use for
school athletics. Consequently, the field is approximately 6feet higher than
the backofsidewalk at the northwest corner of the site. Given this condition,
the landscaped area between the field and the backofsidewalk must be
utilized for grade transition. Adding water collection and pumping stations
were also explored to provide an artificial water flow and creeklike affect.
This was also not feasible due to the cost of water collection in a storage
basin, the costs of installing and managing a pump and the concerns for
maintaining the pumping system. In lieu of a faux creek, the following is
proposed: the planting of trees and filtration plants that are native and
drought tolerant; bioswales and bioretention that enhance storm water
capture and landscape berms that imply the flow of Temescal Creek along
the sidewalk; no toxic pesticides or inorganic fertilizer are to be used; the
supporting soil structure will be permeable to allow storm water infiltration
into the soil and into Temescal Creek and; shade trees will be planted along
53rd Street to reduce the urban heat island effect and cool the open spaces
for public use.

Along 47
th
Street, for the first 150 feet west of San Pablo Avenue, adjacent to
Building D (grades 9-12 classrooms), the sidewalk area is approximately 26
feet wide, with a 5-foot planning strip, a 15-foot pedestrian pathway, and a 6-
foot building/entry space, which exceeds the guidelines for a Green Street.
Further west along 47
th
Street, the cross section varies due to the
configuration of the on-street parking. The pedestrian pathway varies from 8
to 15 feet; in no place is it less than the 8 foot width called for by the design
guidelines, but in most locations there is not enough room for the 2-foot
building/entry space and/or planting strip called for in the guidelines. It
should be noted that the Project architects have redesigned the 47
th
Street
layout by eliminating the four parallel parking spaces at the west end next to
the swimming pool/gym in order to widen the sidewalk. The parking on the
south side of 47
th
Street has been reconfigured to replace this parking, which
actually results in an increase of 11 parking spaces.

Pedestrian Priority Zone Guidelines: The Project meets Guidelines I-15 and I-
16 by providing consistent street tree species, employing Bay-Friendly
landscaping, curb bulb out intersections, active ground floor uses such as a
caf, library and community multi-purpose space.

ECCL Project
July 25, 2013
Page 12

Guideline I-15 sets a 12-foot minimum sidewalk width for Pedestrian Priority
Zones with an 8-foot pedestrian pathway and a 4-foot planting strip.
However, as noted above, these sidewalk guidelines are superseded by the
guidelines for Green Streets along 47
th
and 53
rd
Street, and by the guidelines
for the Neighborhood Retail Overlay and Neighborhood Centers along San
Pablo Avenue.

Given the site constraints for the ambitious ECCL program, the Planning
Commission hereby finds that the applicant has made a good faith effort to
comply with the design guidelines to the greatest extent feasible, and that,
where strict compliance with the provisions of the guidelines have not been
achieved, they have convincingly demonstrated that the intent of the
guidelines is met.

(c) The Project is of a high design quality that is compatible with, and will not
adversely affect, the surrounding area;

This Project will result in a set of visually attractive buildings and will
provide an active presence along San Pablo Avenue and 53
rd
and 47
th
Streets.
The design was achieved by soliciting public comments through numerous
community design workshops. The result is a design that is compatible in
scale and massing with the surrounding area.

Section 5. Tree Removal Permit Pursuant to Section 7-10.05:

(a) The removal of twenty (20) trees along 47
th
Street, as indicated on Sheet L0.02, is
hereby approved, subject to the payment of the replacement value of the trees to
be removed and the planting of replacement trees, as further detailed in the
Conditions of Approval attached hereto.

and be it further

RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby approves UPDR12-001 for the Emeryville
Center of Community Life, and a Tree Removal Permit to remove 20 street trees along 47

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
This Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been formulated based upon
the findings of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) prepared for the
Emeryville Center of Community Life Project (project). The MMRP, which is found in Table 1, lists
mitigation measures recommended in the IS/MND prepared for the project and identifies mitigation
monitoring requirements. The Final MMRP must be adopted when the Emery Unified School District
Board of Trustees makes a final decision on the project.

The MMRP is organized in a matrix format. The first column identifies the mitigation measure. The
second column, entitled Mitigation Responsibility, refers to the party responsible for implementing
the mitigation measure. The third column, entitled Monitoring/Reporting Agency, refers to the
agency responsible for oversight or ensuring that the mitigation measure is implemented. The fourth
column, entitled Monitoring Schedule, refers to when monitoring will occur to ensure that the
mitigating action is completed.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES
CULT-1: Archaeological monitoring shouldshall be conducted for construction-related
ground disturbance below soil that is demonstrated to be fill in the project site. The
monitoring shouldshall be done in accordance with, and as guided by, an Archaeological
Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (AMEP) prepared and implemented for the project. The
purpose of the AMEP is to ensure that significant archaeological deposits discovered
during construction are identified, evaluated, and appropriately treated through the use of a
pre-established research design and field evaluation strategy, consistent with the
requirements of CEQA Guidelines 15126.4 (b)(3)(C). The AMEP shouldshall be
approved by the District well in advance of construction, and its implementation
shouldshall be made a condition of the issuance of a grading or building permit for the
project. The AMEP shouldshall be prepared by professionals who meet the Secretary of
the Interiors Professional Qualifications Standards in historical archaeology and
prehistoric archaeology.

The AMEP shouldshall include a construction monitoring component and an evaluation
component. The monitoring component of the AMEP shouldshall refine the archaeological
sensitivity of the project site to: (1) identify areas that will be subject to monitoring; (2)
define the frequency of monitoring; and (3) identify those areas with little to no possibility
of containing intact deposits. This assessment shouldshall focus on the project sites land
use history based on historical maps and photographs, past site improvement/utilities
construction plans, historical documents, and soils/geotechnical information. The
possibility for encountering human remains during construction shouldshall also be
addressed by consultation with the appropriate descendant groups.

The evaluation component of the AMEP would guide fieldwork if archaeological resources
or human remains are identified during monitoring. The purpose of this component is to
establish an evaluation process to shorten the time necessary to respond to and evaluate the
significance of discoveries made during archaeological monitoring. The evaluation
component shouldshall contain a field study and technical analysis work plan to guide the
methods and procedures to be used during the significance evaluation. The treatment of
human remains during the evaluation process shouldshall be addressed, and procedures for
the respectful treatment of such remains shouldshall be developed through consultation
with descendant communities prior to the final draft of the AMEP.

VIII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZ-1: A Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) shall be completed by a licensed
professional in accordance with DTSC requirements to determine if a release of hazardous
materials has occurred on the site. The scope of the PEA shall be determined in accordance
with a DTSC-approved workplan and the Phase I ESA recommendations. If contaminants
are identified in subsurface soil, soil vapor, or groundwater, the PEA shall screen the
identified contaminant concentrations relative to applicable environmental screening levels
as directed by the DTSC to ensure the protection of construction workers, future site users,
and the environment, and also be screened against hazardous waste thresholds to determine
soil management options.
If contaminant concentrations are above the applicable environmental screening levels, the
PEA shall make recommendations for remedial actions for the protection of public health
and the environment. If the PEA recommends remedial action (which may include but not
be limited to soil and/or groundwater removal or treatment, a site-specific soil and ground-
water management plan, a site-specific health and safety plan, and a risk management
plan), the District shall consult with the appropriate local, State, or federal environmental
regulatory agencies, including the DTSC, to ensure sufficient minimization of risk to
human health and the environmental, both during and after construction, posed by soil, soil
vapor, or groundwater contamination. The District shall obtain and submit written approval
documentation for any remedial action, if required by a local, state, or federal
environmental regulatory agency prior to project occupancy.

project construction period. The SWPPP shall be designed to address the following
objectives:
1. All pollutants and their sources, including sources of sediment associated with
construction, construction site erosion and all other activities associated with
construction activity are controlled;
2. Where not otherwise required to be under a Water Board permit, all non-storm water
discharges are identified and either eliminated, controlled, or treated; and
3. Site Best Management Practices (BMPs) are effective and result in the reduction or
elimination of pollutants in stormwater discharges and authorized non-stormwater
discharges from construction activity to the Best Available/Best Conventional Technol-
ogy (BAT/BCT) standard.

The SWPPP shall be prepared by a Qualified SWPPP Developer. The SWPPP shall
include the minimum BMPs required for this type of project (based on final determination
of the projects Risk Level status, to be determined as part of the Notice of Intent for
coverage under the Construction General Permit). These include: BMPs for erosion and
sediment control, site management/housekeeping/waste management, management of non-
stormwater discharges, runon and runoff controls, and BMP inspection/maintenance/repair
activities. BMP implementation shall be consistent with the BMP requirements in the most
recent version of the California Stormwater Quality Association Stormwater Best
Management Handbook-Construction.

The SWPPP shall include a construction site monitoring program that identifies require-
ments for dry weather visual observations of pollutants at all discharge locations, and as
appropriate (depending on the Risk Level), sampling of the site effluent and receiving
waters. A Qualified SWPPP Practitioner shall be responsible for implementing the BMPs
at the site and performing all required monitoring and inspection/maintenance/repair
activities.

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION AND SOURCE CONTROL MEASURES
City of Emeryville, California
Revised 3/8/06

The numbers in Parentheses, e.g. (I.A.) refer to the specific measures in the Alameda
Countywide Clean Water Program Source Control Measures Model List approved by the
ACCWP on July 27
th
, 2004.

There are four sections in this document:
A. Grading and Drainage pages 1-4.
B. Site Plan and Source Control Measures pages 5-10
C. Construction Practices page 11
D. Post-Occupancy Maintenance and Operational BMPs pages 12-13

A. Grading and Drainage

1. All projects shall incorporate appropriate site design measures to minimize impacts to
water quality. These may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) minimizing
impervious surfaces, especially directly connected impervious surfaces, (b) clustering buildings,
(c) preservation of quality open space, (d) maintaining and/or restoring riparian areas and
wetlands and establishing vegetated buffer areas to minimize pollutants in stormwater runoff or
minimize peak runoff. The following is a list of possible drainage systems: a vegetated roof,
supported turf or permeable pavement, dry-wells or cisterns to catch roof runoff, and/or grassy
swales. The City has adopted Stormwater Treatment Guidelines for Green Dense
Redevelopment and a treatment sizing worksheet, available on the Citys website at:
http://www.ci.emeryville.ca.us/planning/ Plans shall include stormwater pollution prevention and
control features to limit to the maximum extent practicable the entry of pollutants into
stormwater runoff, and as required by the Citys current NPDES permit.

2. Numeric Sizing Criteria for Pollutant Removal Treatment Systems:
The City of Emeryville requires that treatment BMPs be constructed for applicable projects, as
defined in section C.3.c. of the Citys NPDES permit. These BMPs must incorporate, at a
minimum, the following hydraulic sizing design criteria to treat stormwater runoff. As
appropriate for each criterion, the projects shall use, or appropriately analyze, local rainfall data
to be used for that criterion.
A. Volume Hydraulic Design Basis: Treatment BMPs whose primary mode of action
depends on volume capacity, such as detention/retention units or infiltration
structures, shall be designed to treat stormwater runoff equal to:
1. The maximized stormwater quality capture volume for the area, based on
historical rainfall records, determined using the formula and volume capture
coefficients set forth in Urban Runoff Quality Management, WEF Manual of
Practice No.23/ASCE Manual of Practice No. 87, (1998(, pages 175-178 (e.g.,
approximately the 85th percentile 24-hour storm runoff event); or
2. The volume of annual runoff required to achieve 80 percent or more capture,
determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in Appendix D of the

Page 2 of 13
California Stormwater Best Management Practices Handbook, (1993), using local
rainfall data.
B. Flow Hydraulic Design Basis: Treatment BMPs whose primary mode of action
depends on flow capacity, such as swales, sand filters, or wetlands, shall be sized to
treat:
1. 10% of the 50-year peak flow rate; or
2. The flow runoff produced by a rain event equal to at least two times the 85
th

percentile hourly rainfall intensity for the applicable area, based on historical
records of hourly rainfall depths; or
3. The flow of runoff resulting from a rain event equal to at least 0.2 inches per hour
intensity. (per the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program on 3/8/2004)

3. The City of Emeryville adopted stormwater treatment guidelines on December 6
th
, 2005.
The guidelines serve as one part of the City of Emeryvilles compliance with the requirements
associated with the joint NPDES permit. The City prefers vegetative design solutions such as
those described in the guidelines rather than mechanical solutions. This is because vegetative
solutions treat stormwater more effectively, involve easier maintenance and inspection, improve
air quality and provide green aesthetics. Therefore, the City desires to see vegetative solutions
whenever possible. Developers of projects subject to hydraulic sizing criteria for treatment
requirements shall be required to retain either a firm that is listed by the Bay Area Stormwater
Management Agencies Association (BASMAA) as qualified in stormwater treatment design
(www.basmaa.org/documents, Qualified Post-Construction Consultants List), or a firm that
demonstrates similar qualifications to those on the BASMAA List, to design on-site stormwater
treatment measures. The stormwater treatment design consultant shall make a good faith effort
to meet the entire treatment requirement using vegetative solutions. If the stormwater treatment
design consultant concludes that vegetative solutions are not feasible due to site characteristics,
building uses or other legitimate reasons, and the City concurs, the City will consider allowing
on-site mechanical solutions. In some cases, upon recommendation of the stormwater treatment
design consultant, a combination of vegetative and mechanical solutions may be allowed. If
mechanical solutions are utilized, the mechanism must be approved by the City, and Developer
must demonstrate that the mechanical design will remove fine sediments and dissolved metals as
well as trash and oil. If stormwater treatment is required the applicant shall also provide, before
the Planning Commission hearing, calculations showing the percentage of on-site stormwater
treatment through mechanical means and percentage of on-site treatment through vegetative
means.

4. The design of any stormwater quality treatment measures incorporated in the project must
incorporate the treatment control design guidance for vector control included in the Alameda
Countywide Clean Water Programs Vector Control Plan.
Some of main issues are access:
Design stormwater treatment devices to be easily and safely accessible without
the need for special requirements (e.g., OSHA requirements for confined
space).
If utilizing covers, include in the design spring-loaded or light-weight access
hatches that can be opened easily for inspection.

Page 3 of 13
Provide all-weather road access (with provisions for turning a full-size work
vehicle) along at least one side of large above-ground structures that are less than
25 feet wide. For structures that have shoreline-to-shoreline distances in excess of
25 feet, a perimeter road is required for access to all sides.
And dry system design principles that prevent mosquito breeding:
Structures should be designed so they do not hold standing water for more than 72
hours.
Incorporate features that prevent or reduce the possibility of clogged discharge
orifices (e.g., debris screens). The use of weep holes is not recommended due to
rapid clogging.
Pipes should be designed and constructed for a rate of flow that flushes the system
of sediment and prevents water backing up in the pipe. Storm drains should be
constructed so that the invert out is at the same elevation as the interior bottom to
prevent standing water.
Use the hydraulic grade line of the site to select a treatment system that allows
water to flow by gravity through the structure. Pumps are not recommended
because they are subject to failure and often require sumps that hold water.
Design distribution piping and containment basins with adequate slopes to drain
fully and prevent standing water. The design slope should take into consideration
buildup of sediment between maintenance periods. Compaction during grading
may also be needed to avoid slumping and settling.
Avoid the use of loose riprap or concrete depressions that may hold standing
water.
Avoid barriers, diversions, or flow spreaders that may retain standing water.
Use mosquito net to cover sand media filter pump sumps.
Use aluminum smoke proof covers for any vault sedimentation basins.

5. Stormwater treatment measures that function primarily as infiltration devices (such as
infiltration basins or trenches) shall, where practical, protect groundwater from pollutants that
may be present in urban runoff. The vertical distance from the base of any infiltration device to
the seasonal high groundwater mark shall be at least ten feet (10), and in areas characterized by
highly porous soils or high ground water tables, additional analysis may be required by the City.
Infiltration devices will not be recommended as treatment measures for areas of industrial or
light industrial activity, automotive repair shops, car washes, fleet storage areas, nurseries, and
areas subject to high vehicular traffic (25,000 or greater average daily traffic [ADT] on main
roadway or 15,000 or more ADT on any intersecting roadway). Infiltration devices shall be
located a minimum of 100 feet horizontally from any water supply well.

6. If the project includes one or more permanent stormwater quality treatment control
measure(s), a Stormwater Treatment Measures Maintenance Agreement (Agreement) shall be
executed between the Project Owner and the City and recorded with the County Recorder's
Office of the County of Alameda. The Agreement must be executed before the Certificate of
Occupancy is issued. The property owner shall prepare, to the Citys satisfaction, and submit
four required Exhibits to the Agreement: (1) a legible, recordable, reduced-scale (8.5"x11")
copy of the Site Plan indicating the treatment measure(s) location(s) and site drainage patterns;
(2) a maintenance plan, including specific long-term maintenance tasks and a schedule, and

Page 4 of 13
incorporating the treatment control operation and maintenance guidance for mosquito control
from the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Programs Vector Control Plan; (3) a standard
Treatment Measure Operation and Maintenance Inspection Report form (template to be provided
by the City); and (4) checklists appropriate to the type of treatment measure(s) that will be used
on the property (to be provided by the City).

7. Vegetated areas designed to treat stormwater shall be constructed and maintained using
non-chemical practices in order to avoid discharging pollutants of concern into the City
stormdrain system. Compost, vermicastings and similar products shall be used as fertilizers
instead of NPK chemical fertilizers. Pest control practices using insecticidal soaps and bio-
degradable plant oils shall be used to control pests instead of chemical products containing, for
example, glyphosate and synthetic pyrethroids.

8. All on-site storm drain inlets shall be stenciled or labeled ANo Dumping! Flows to Bay@
or equivalent, using methods approved by the City. (I.A.)

9. Construction access routes shall be limited to those approved by the City Engineer and
shall be shown on the approved grading plan.

10. Prior to the commencement of any clearing, grading and/or excavation resulting in a land
disturbance of one acre or more, the applicant shall submit to the City: (a) a copy of the projects
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and (b) evidence to the City that a Notice of
Intent (NOI) has been submitted to the (California) State Water Resources Control Board. The
SWPPP shall contain the erosion, sediment and pollution control BMPs (some of which are
described in Section C of this document) and the BMPs shall be in place before any work begins
as appropriate for that phase of construction. The plan and BMPs should be checked daily,
especially around storm events, and updated as necessary. A daily log should be kept stating that
BMPs have been checked are effective.

11. For projects involving clearing, grading or excavation resulting in disturbance of less
than one acre of land, the applicant shall have in place erosion, sediment and pollution controls
(described in Section C of this document) to the maximum extent practicable using the current
standard BMPs as required by the City.

requirements.

14. Fire Sprinkler Test Water: (I.N.)

Fire sprinkler test water shall be drained to the sanitary sewer system, with approval from the
City and EBMUD, or drain to landscaped areas where feasible. In the event that the sanitary
district does not approve the connection and drainage to landscaped areas is infeasible, the
applicant may propose an alternative method of providing for drainage of fire sprinkler test

Page 10 of 13
water, such as by filtering and dechlorinating the water prior to discharge to a storm drain,
subject to approval by RWQCB staff.

15. Miscellaneous Drain or Wash Water: (I.O.)

a. Boiler drain lines shall be directly or indirectly connected to the sanitary sewer system
and may not discharge to the storm drain system. The applicant shall contact the local permitting
authority and EBMUD for specific connection and discharge requirements.

b. For small air conditioning units, air conditioning condensate should be directed to
landscaped areas as a minimum BMP. For large air conditioning units, in new developments or
significant redevelopments, the preferred alternatives are for condensate lines to be directed to
landscaped areas, or alternatively connected to the sanitary sewer system after obtaining

C. Construction Practices

Construction workers shall:

1. Maintain and replace filter materials as necessary to ensure effectiveness and prevent
flooding. Dispose of filter particles in the trash.

2. Broom sweep the sidewalk and street adjoining the site daily, scraping off caked-on mud
and dirt.

3. Minimize removal of natural vegetation or ground cover, and replant as soon as possible.

4. Stabilize all cut and fill slopes as soon as possible after grading is completed.

5. Ensure that concrete, gunite and plaster supply trucks and operations do not discharge
wash water into street gutters or drains.

6. Create and use a contained, covered area on the site for storing bags of cement, paints,
flammables, oils, fertilizers, pesticides and any other materials used on the project site that could
be discharged to the storm drain system by wind or a spill.

7. Place tarps on the ground to collect fallen debris or splatters that could contribute to
stormwater pollution.

8. Gather all construction debris daily and place it in a container which is emptied or
removed weekly.

9. Never clean machinery, tools, brushes, etc. or rinse containers into a street, gutter, storm
drain or stream.

10. For projects with on-site storm drain inlets, clean all inlets immediately prior to the rainy
season (October 1), and as required by the City Engineer.

11. Install straw wattles, berms, check dams as appropriate to contain and/or filter stormwater
and the sediments from the site.

12. Hydroseed or cover exposed soil with tarps, loose straw or mats to reduce erosion and
sediment suspension in stormwater.

13. Check all on-site machinery and vehicles for oil, fuel and other machine fluid leaks on a
daily basis and fix machinery or capture all leaked fluids.

D. Post-Occupancy Maintenance and Operational BMPs

For projects installing post-construction stormwater treatment systems, as required by provision
C.3 of the City NPDES permit, a Stormwater Treatment Measures Operation and Maintenance
(O&M) Agreement must be signed by the property owner before the issuance of the building
permit (see A.6 above in this document.)

The following section describes Operational best management practices (BMPs) that rely on
private property owners to implement following construction of projects.

For commercial and industrial projects and residential projects with ten units or more, before the
City issues the Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant must submit evidence of a lease
agreement, purchase and sale agreement, or a set of covenants, conditions and restrictions
(CC&Rs) that includes the following practices and specifies who will perform them and who will
monitor the performance.

1. Paved Sidewalks and Parking Lots: (II.A.)

Sidewalks and parking lots shall be swept regularly to minimize the accumulation of litter and
debris. Debris resulting from pressure washing shall be trapped and collected to prevent entry
into the storm drain system. Washwater containing any soap, cleaning agent or degreaser shall
not be discharged to the storm drain and shall be collected and discharged to the sanitary sewer
The applicant shall contact the local permitting authority and EBMUD for specific connection
and discharge requirements.

2. Private Streets, Utilities and Common Areas: (II.B.)

a. The owner of private streets and storm drains shall prepare and implement a plan for
street sweeping of paved private roads and cleaning of all storm drain inlets.

b. For residential developments, where other maintenance mechanisms are not applicable or
otherwise in place a property owners association, architectural committee, maintenance
assessment district, special assessment district, or similar arrangement shall be created and shall
be responsible for maintaining all private streets and private utilities and other privately owned
common areas and facilities on the site including landscaping. These maintenance
responsibilities shall include implementing and maintaining stormwater BMPs associated with
improvements and landscaping and will include the maintenance responsibilities described in the
maintenance plan, which is included as an attachment to the stormwater treatment measure O&M
agreement for the subject property. CC&Rs creating the association shall be reviewed and
approved by the City Attorney prior to the recordation of the Final Map and recorded prior to the
sale of the first residential unit. The CC&Rs or special assessment district shall describe how the
stormwater BMPs associated with privately owned improvements and landscaping shall be
maintained by the association or the special assessment district.

Attention City of Emeryville
Planning Department
c/o Roy Miller EUSD

Regards Revisions and Clarifications to the Planning Commission Application

Submitted: Documents dated July 10, 2013 C 2.O, L6.03, Student Area Comparison Sheets 1 4.

To further improve the project and respond to the concerns we have heard from the City staff, District staff and
the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Sub-Committee we have revised the design in few areas. The attached
sheets are an addendum to the June 26, 2013 Planning Commission Application. We would anticipate these
revisions to be a condition of approval. In summary the improvements shown are:

1. Bicycle Parking
a. We have revised the bicycle parking to increase the parking from 98 to 124 as shown on attached
sheet L6.03. Our approach was to increase the bicycle parking and clarify the areas and type of
secure parking. Parking within the school campus is under control and managed by school staff
during school hours. Students and staff can lock their bikes on the racks provided in these areas
with the confidence the area is not accessible by the public. During none school hours these
same racks can be available for temporary bike parking. There is also temporary public bike
parking with bicycle racks at locations around the perimeter of the site for use by the public at any
time. Some assignable lockers are now provided for staff who may desired permanent secure
parking during at any time.
b. 24 secure bike parking spaces for the K-8 age group students and staff is provided within the
school perimeter at the entrance from 53
rd
street. This entrance on 53
rd
to the campus is gated
and controlled. Bikes may, in addition be individually locked to the bike racks provided. Access
to this area is secure during school hours.
c. 30 secure bike parking spaces for 9-12 age group students and staff is in two locations. One
location is inside the entry to the campus on 47
th
and the other is adjacent to the gym. Both
locations are within the campus fenced security perimeter. Bikes in these locations may also be
individually locked to the bike racks provided.
d. 60 Community bike parking with bike racks are provided at both the community entry areas off of
San Pablo, in front of the 9-12 school entry and at the gym. These are short term bike parking
areas provided with bike racks.
e. 10 secure bike lockers are provided adjacent to the parking lot for assigned lockable faculty and
staff bikes. The lockers are provided with keys and assigned.
2. Vehicle parking
a. We have realigned the south curb on 47
th
to increase the number of perpendicular parking
spaces. This also allowed the removal of the four parallel spaces adjacent to the gym on the
north side of 47
th
to improve the pedestrian walkway (see next item). The net increase in street
parking is 11 parking spaces.
3. 47
th
pedestrian way.
a. The removal of the four parallel spaces noted above allowed us to widen the walk way to
maintain a minimum eight feet along the entire 47
th
street. The bio retention areas on 47
th
remain
and we will during the Construction document phase continue to look for ways to expand them.

130626 eccl planning application
4. 53
rd
street bio retention
a. Adjacent to the k-8 entry we have achieved a level of inclusion of storm water from 53
rd
street.
These further our goal to achieve the highest level possible to achieve the goals of the greenway
designation.
5. Generator
a. After the review of numerous technical factors, the existing generator will be removed. The
current approach is to provide a portable generator and free the area for use by the City and
School District.
6. Running track
a. The running track material is revised to be more durable and consistent with the sprint track. The
transition between the field area and track is a flush seam for safety. The total track and field
areas remain unchanged.
7. Student Areas
a. The square footage of exterior area is unchanged. We have however worked with faculty and
staff to address age group and observation criteria and to clarify the extent of area available. An
area comparison sheet is attached indicating and confirming the adequacy of the area provided.
It is also important to note that entire field areas are not exclusive athletic fields. The fields are
available for use during school hours for a variety of activities for all age groups.
