The Council hereby adopts said mitigated Negative Declaration and incorporates the following mitigation measures into the project: 1. Consistent with the recommendations included in the Seismic Safety Element, a detailed soils engineering report shall be submitted at the time of building permit which considers special grading and construction techniques necessary to address the potential for liquefaction and compliance with the City Building Codes. It shall identify the soil profile on site and provide site preparation recommendations to ensure against unstable soil conditions. Grading and building must be designed and performed in compliance with the soils engineering report. 2. Oil and sand separators or other filtering media shall be installed at each drain inlet intercepting runoff as a means of filtering toxic substances from run off before it enters the creek through the storm water system. The separator must be regularly maintained to ensure -efficient pollutant removal. C4-2 PD 61-00 Ordinance 1375 Page 2 3. The project shall include: • Short-and long-term bicycle parking for employee use; • Shower and locker facilities for employees to encourage bicycling and walking to work; • A pleasant, partially covered, wind-buffered outdoor employee rest area to encourage employees to stay on site during the lunch hour; and • Extensive tree planting in the parking areas to help reduce evaporative emissions from automobiles. 4. New buildings constructed on this site shall incorporate the following as feasible: • Energy-efficient lighting systems for both interior and exterior use; • Increased wall and attic insulation beyond Title 24 requirements; • Skylights or other means of maximizing natural daylighting, especially at the center of the building; • Operable windows in employee work and break areas to maximize natural ventilation; • Lighting controls(occupancy and motion sensors); and • Dual glazed windows. If these features are not included or feasible in the design of new buildings, the project architect shall document why they were determined to be infeasible. The Community Development Director shall review this document and make a final decision as to the feasibility of incorporating these energy conserving features. 5. A site and project specific Health and Risk Assessment shall be submitted to the Community Development Department and approved prior to any issuance of building or grading permits. 6.

A plan for recycling construction material waste shall be submitted with the building permit application for review and approval by the Community Development Director. C4-3 PD 61-00 Ordinance 1375 Page 3 SECTION 2. The City Council makes the following findings: 1. The project,as conditioned,will be compatible with existing and allowed land uses in the area. 2. The project's location or access arrangements do not significantly direct traffic to use local or collector streets in residential zones. 3. The project,which is a PD rezoning to allow large offices and other uses consistent with the General Plan at the site, will not affect potential impacts-related to noise, light and glare, and loss of privacy,among others,imposed by commercial activities on nearby residential areas. 4. The project does not preclude industrial or service commercial uses in areas especially suited for such uses when compared with offices. 5. The project does not create a shortage of C-S and M-zoned land available for service commercial or industrial development. 6. As conditioned, the project is consistent with the General Plan, including policies on government office locations and the desirability for convenience services primarily serving area workers. 7. A mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared by the Community Development Department on July 13, 2000, which describes significant environmental impacts associated with project development. The Negative Declaration concludes that the project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment subject to the mitigation measures shown in the attached initial study ER 61-00 being incorporated into the project. SECTION 3. The Zoning Regulations Map Amendment PD 61-00 is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. Except as otherwise noted in these conditions of approval, all requirements included in the zoning regulations for the C-S zone shall apply.
