REPORT SUMMARY California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer submit to the City Clerk and the legislative body a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. The Municipal Code of the City of Saratoga, Article 2 -20, Section 2- 20.035 designates the City Manager as the City Treasurer. This report is prepared to fulfill this requirement. The following attachments provide various financial transaction data for the City of Saratoga's Funds collectively as well as specifically for the City's General (Operating) Fund, including an attachment from the State Treasurer's Office of Quarterly LAIF rates from the 1st Quarter of 1977 to present. FISCAL IMPACT Cash and Investments Balance by Fund As of January 31, 2014, the City had $179,256 in cash deposit at Comerica bank, and $17,012,006 on deposit with LAIF. Council Policy on Working Capital Reserve Funds, adopted on April 20, 1994, states that: for cash flow purposes, to avoid occurrence of dry period financing, pooled cash from all funds should not be allowed to fall below $2,000,000. The total pooled cash balance as of January 31, 2014 is $17,191,262 and exceeds the minimum limit required. Cash Summary Unrestricted Cash Comerica Bank $ 179,256 Deposit with LAIF $ 17,012,006 Total Unrestricted Cash $ 17,191,262 The following Fund Balance schedule represents actual funding available for all funds at the end of the monthly period. This amount differs from the above Cash Summary schedule as assets and liabilities are components of the fund balance. As illustrated in the summary below, Total Unrestricted Cash is adjusted by the addition of Total Assets less the amount of Total Liabilities to arrive at the Ending Fund Balance — which represents the actual amount of funds available. 33 Adjusting Cash to Ending Fund Balance Total Unrestricted Cash $ 17,191,262 Plus: Assets 177,354 Less: Liabilities (1,477,295) Ending Fund Balance $ 15,891,321 Fund Balance Designations In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This standard left unchanged the total amount reported as fund balance, but substantially altered the categories and terminology used to describe its components. The new categories and terminology focus, not on financial resources available for appropriation, but on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purpose for which the amounts in the fund can be spent. The components of fund balance are now categorized as follows: "non- spendable fund balance ", resources that are inherently non - spendable from the vantage point of the current period; "restricted fund balance ", resources that are subject to enforceable legal restrictions; "committed fund balance ", resources whose use is constrained by limitations the government imposes upon itself through formal action at its highest level of decision making and remains binding unless removed in the same manner; "assigned fund balance ", resources that reflects a government's intended use of resources, such intent would have to be established at either the highest level of decision making, by a body, or an official designated for that purpose; and "unassigned fund balance ", net resources in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories. Currently, the City's fund balance reserves fall into one of the four spendable categories; restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balance. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION The City would not be in compliance with Government Code Section 41004. ALTERNATIVE ACTION N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION N/A ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City's web site in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting.

End of Amendments 13 52 SITE PLANNING Privacy, both within a home and in an enclosed yard, is important to residential quality of life in Saratoga. Engage neighbors for feedback early in the design process. Privacy issues should be resolved in the initial design stage, not as an afterthought. Residential privacy should not be achieved solely with fencing and landscaping between properties. The building's design should be the primary means of addressing privacy impacts. Privacy impacts should be minimized to the best extent possible through appropriate placement of buildings, windows, doors, and balconies. The finished floor of the home on the left is higher than the home on the right, creating privacy impacts due to window placement. Offset the placement of windows and doors between adjacent properties. This balcony has a direct view into the neighbor's private indoor and outdoor areas. Use clerestory windows where light is desired but privacy is a concern between neighbors. Privac Design Techniques The design should incorporate one or more of the following techniques: • Minimize windows and balconies in direct view of neighbor's private indoor and outdoor areas • Minimize the size and number of 1 st and 2nd story windows on side elevations • Locate larger windows in areas that do not have privacy impacts • Utilize clerestory windows or windows with higher sills where privacy is a concern • Consider finished floor height and window placement impact on adjoining neighbors • Pay attention to privacy concerns on sub - standard and small lots City of Saratoga • Single - Family Residential IYYsign Guidelines • Design Review Handbook Page 11 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL 1tl56 MEETING DATE: March 5, 2014 DEPARTMENT: Community Development PREPARED BY: Christopher Riordan, AICP AGENDA ITEM: CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson DIRECTOR: James Lindsay SUBJECT: Amended Annexation Resolutions for the Congress Spring Quarry Property and Certain Unincorporated Islands RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt the attached amended resolutions reaffirming and restating the prior approval of the annexation of certain properties located within the City's Urban Service Area. BACKGROUND: On April 3, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 13 -016 approving the annexation of 223 acres of real property which included the Congress Springs Quarry Property and two unincorporated islands (STGO1 and STG07). A signed copy of Resolution No. 13 -016 was forwarded to the Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) of Santa Clara Valley. Upon reviewing the resolution, LAFCO staff requested that each of the three annexation actions be included on its own unique resolution and not combined into one document. On June 5, 2013, the City Council approved three resolutions making a separate annexation action for each unincorporated island and the Congress Springs Quarry Property. Signed copies of the three resolutions were forwarded to LAFCO. During their review of the resolutions, LAFCO staff requested additional clarifying text changes to the annexation resolutions prior to deeming the annexations as complete. The 106 acre parcel (STG07) is subject to an existing Williamson Act Contract which is scheduled to terminate on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to Government Code Section 51243, upon annexation the City of Saratoga would automatically succeed to all rights, duties, and powers of the County of Santa Clara under the Contract. Text acknowledging the City's responsibilities under the Williamson Act was included in the previous resolution however; LAFCO has requested that the amended resolution be more explicit in acknowledging the Williamson Act Contract and the City's responsibilities per Government Code Section 51243. Page 1 of 2 54 DISCUSSION: City staff has modified the text of the resolutions as requested by LAFCO. Other than clarifying text edits and the above described additional text acknowledging the Williamson Act Contract and the City's responsibilities under the contract, there have been no other substantive modifications to the text of the resolutions. The amended resolutions are attached for the following three areas: • Approximately 31 -acres on Mount Eden Road near the intersection of Villa Oaks Lane (STGO1). • Approximately 106 -acres on Mount Eden Road near the intersection of Damon Lane (STG07). • Approximately 75 -acres on Big Basin Way near the intersection of Toll Gate Road (The Quarry Property).

BACKGROUND: On January 27, 2014, Reverend Erik Swanson contacted the City expressing his concern about the sight distance issue that exists for drivers attempting to either exit from or enter into the northern parking lot of Westhope Church on Saratoga Avenue. The City's traffic engineer and City staff met with Reverend Swanson on February 11, 2014 to discuss ways to improve the issues. After reviewing the location, it was agreed that restricting parking at all times near the northern entrance is the most appropriate solution to increase safety of the driveway. In order to enforce the new parking restriction, City Council must adopt the attached Motor Vehicle Resolution. FISCAL IMPACTS: Approximately $250 in labor and materials is required for the City to paint the curb. These improvements are paid through the Capital Improvement Program, which has a fund devoted to Traffic Safety. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The parking restrictions would not be approved and the sight distance would remain as is. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Implement Council direction.

RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1. Move to adopt the Resolution describing improvements and directing preparation of the Engineer's Report. 2. Move to adopt the Resolution appointing the Attorneys for the District. REPORT SUMMARY: Attached are two Resolutions the City Council must adopt to initiate the annual process of renewing the Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District LLA -1 for the upcoming fiscal year beginning on July 1. A brief summary of each Resolution is as follows: Resolution describing improvements and directing preparation of the Engineer's Report - This is the Resolution required under Streets & Highways Code Section 22622 to initiate the annual renewal process for the existing assessment district for the ensuing fiscal year. The Resolution references the proposed improvements to be provided by the district (Exhibit A), and directs the preparation of the Engineer's Report required under S &H Code Section 22565. 2. Resolution appointing Attorneys - This Resolution appoints the City Attorney's office as the attorneys for the District throughout the renewal process, and limits their fees in connection with this work to $500. The provisions of SB 919 (The Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act) adopted by the State legislature in 1997, (Chapter 38, Stats. 1997), and which became effective on July 1, 1997, will be implemented during the renewal process if necessary. :• Procedurally this means that assessment ballots will be mailed to those property owners within the District whose initial proposed assessments are either 1) higher than in any previous year and who have not previously voted on their assessments, or 2) higher than what was authorized via balloting conducted in a previous year. As in previous years, ballots will be separately tabulated at the close of the Protest Hearing for each Zone that may be voting. Only those ballots returned by the close of the Protest Hearing will count towards determining whether a majority protest exists. The following sets forth the tentative schedule for renewing the District for FY 14 -15: March 5 - Council adopts Resolutions directing preparation of Engineer's Report and appointing Attorneys. April 16 - Council receives Engineer's Report. Council adopts Resolution of Intention preliminarily approving Engineer's Report and assessments and setting date and time for Protest Hearing. April 25 - Notices with Proposition 218 ballots mailed to property owners, if required. May 2 - Notice of Protest Hearing published in Saratoga News. May 16 - Second Notice of Protest Hearing published in Saratoga News. June 4 - Council conducts Protest Hearing per Gov't. Code Sec. 53753. Ballots are tabulated at the close of the Hearing, if appropriate. Council adopts Resolution confirming assessments for FY 14 -15. June 18 - Backup date if needed. August 10 - Deadline for Engineer to transmit Assessment Roll to County Auditor. FISCAL IMPACTS: The costs associated with administering the Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District are recovered via the assessments levied against the properties, which receive special benefit from the services provided through the District. A detailed analysis of the proposed financing for the District in FY 14 -15 will be provided in the Engineer's Report. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): One or both of the Resolutions would not be adopted. This would delay initiating the process to renew the District for FY 14 -15. .E ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Work on the Engineer's Report will begin.

BACKGROUND: On February 5, 2014, the City Council heard an appeal regarding the Planning Commission approval of a project submitted by TimeSpace Square LLC to demolish three exiting single -story light industrial buildings and construct the following: • One commercial / retail building, approximately 1,835 sq. ft. in size and 20 feet in height; • Twelve residential townhomes, each approximately 2,500 to 2,700 sq. ft. in size and 26 feet in height. The appeal was completed by a group of residential property owners to the east of the project. After conducting the public hearing, the City Council continued the item to tonight's meeting and directed the applicant make modifications to the project to reduce the visual impacts on the appellants' properties. Ideas mentioned at the Council meeting included removing the end unit, re- designing the end unit to reduce its visual impact, and maintaining a rear setback of at least 30 feet. DISCUSSION: The applicant has proposed to re- design the end unit to reduce its visual impact. The following details are the changes being proposed: • Decrease the size of Unit 12 from 2,710 sq. ft. to 2,180 sq. ft. by removing two bedrooms on the second floor. • Decrease the height of Unit 12 from 25' 10" to 23'11" • Increase the second story rear setback from 30'2" to 42' from the rear property line. • Decrease the number of windows and the amount of glazing along the second story of the eastern elevation. The first submittal had seven windows (three fixed and four sliders) with 55 sq. ft. of glazing. The second submittal has three windows (fixed) with 15.75 sq. ft. Furthermore, the windows are clerestory, with the bottom sills being located six feet above the finished floor. • Increase the amount of landscaping within the rear yard. The first submittal had a landscape plan that covered 1,440 sq. ft. (48 %) of the rear yard with trees, plants, shrubs, and grass cover. The second submittal has increased the landscaping to 1,900 sq. ft., which includes an additional 328 sq. ft. directly down the rear property line. The additional landscaped area came from removing one of the rear parking spaces. The rear landscaping is a minimum of 10 feet in depth along 88 linear feet of the 100 foot rear property line. The additional landscaping proposed for privacy includes four Pittosporum Silver Sheen shrubs, which is an evergreen upright shrub that can grow upwards to 12 -15 feet tall with small oval silver -green leaves held on thin black branches. The applicant met with the appellants and staff to discuss the proposed changes on February 13th and the appellants met independently with staff on February 24th. Although the appellant believes there was a good exchange with the developer, they have presented to staff that they are not satisfied with the modifications proposed. A letter from the appellant expressing their views on the project has been included as Attachment 3.

We are not opposed to the general mixed use plan but feel strongly that it may meet the 'letter of the code but not the spirit of Saratoga development. The plan can be improved with small changes to protect our privacy and reduce the Impact on our homes. Our letter includes four sections: 1. Our concerns and recommendations 2. Grounds for our appeal 3. Recommended Review by City Council 4. Nearby Townhouses and Buildings Sincerely yours, arles Ye, Bill Benevento, an J ck Mallory, and our families 1: Our Concerns and Recommendations We are not opposed to the townhouses but are concerned with having towering townhouses directly behind our homes, They would be 26 feet high which is 10 feet higher than the existing building and closer to our homes. Our concern is that the design of the townhouses nearest our homes would : 1. Tower over our backyards 2. Invade the privacy of our backyards and permit looking into our windows 3. Block late afternoon sun and sky 4. Provide tittle landscaping buffer between our homes and the town houses We are recommending the following to reduce the impact of the townhouses near us and ask you to consider the following suggestions or a return to the planning commission 1. Establish a landscaped buffer of 15 feet plus the 30 feet parking area on the drawings 2. Require the last town house( #12) to be single story (Note there are no two story houses in our neighborhood} 3. Require no windows facing East the single family residences ( #11 and #12) or Ljere5,tcry rvli ch is a high ? +.)ith a. banfJ of narrc),;% windows along the very 4. Consider the Gateway guideline that mixed use development should not be injurious to properties in the vicinity. 109 Grounds for appeal that the neighbors would not be adversely affected: 1. The proposed townhouse plan does not provide adequate privacy/impact based on much of the discussion at the planning commission meeting on Dec 11. 2. Gateway Guidelines do not appeared to have been followed or given proper consideration by the staff or the commission. The guidelines were brought up by one commissioner and not given consideration. This raises the question if commissioners are informed of these guidelines and expected to use them? 3. The design of townhouses in the Kirkmont Drive area designed single floor townhouses and setbacks near the single family homes. The current developer, Mr. York, said he did not consider this option to protect the privacy of the nearby homes. 4. Our 48 year single story development will be impacted with townhouses looking down at our single family homes 5. Privacy was not properly considered in this development yet it is stressed in the Residential Design Handbook. It also has been discussed in 2013 city council and planning commission meetings as important to Saratoga residents. 6. Variance between the Commercial Developments vs Townhouse setbacks and landscaping: a. Previous commercial development plan had a 30 foot landscaped setback and was 1017 feet back from the fence b. This Townhouse development proposal has only a 5 foot landscaping area and is only 32 total feet from the back fence with 26 foot houses looking down at single famiiy houses. c. The Planning Commission has expressed the need for greater setbacks for townhouses in 2013 city meetings. 7. Approving this plan with little concern for privacy is setting a bad precedence for further townhouse development in the Gateway, Quito, and other parts of Saratoga. 8. Pianned parking area adjacent to neighbors is available to parking mobile homes or other trucks providing further problems to neighbors. Overall, this townhouse development plan may meet the letter of the law of the building code but not the spirit of Saratoga such as in the Gateway Guidelines. This plan can be improved with reasonable changes to protect the privacy and impact on the neighbors in the single family homes as prior developers have done. 110 Recommended Review by the City Council in considering this appeal we ask the city council to consider the following: 1, Have a site inspection of the town houses on both sides of Kirkmont, (Prospect to the Saratoga Aquatics ) to note that the developer used single floor townhouses beside the residential homes and along Kirkmont Drive. The two story townhouses were placed next to the commercial property and the center of the townhouse development were placed away from nearby single family homes an average of 55 feet. 2. Have a site inspection of the townhouses behind the strip shopping center where Jake's Pizza is located. There is an approximate 204 foot setback impact from the single family homes and extensive landscaping and no intrusion on the neighbors. 3. Read the Gateway Guidelines especially the statements concerning avoiding impacting neighbors. 4, Review the neighbor's letters. Submitted for the Oct 2013 and December meetings and this appeal. 5. Consider the Spring 2013 city council /planning commission discussions for CVCN and the planning commission recommendation for a greater setback and landscaping than 30 feet for 25 foot townhouses. 6. consider the September 9, 2013 meeting on Residential design Handbook policies on compatibility and the neighborhood. 7. Consider the issues not answered at the Dec 11 planning commission meeting: 1. Impact of Gateway guidelines 2. Impact of privacy 111 Nearby Townhouses and Buildings Kirkmont Drive Townhouses 1. Along Kirkmont Drive ... single story 2. Beside single story residential ...single story 3. Beside the swim center are two story townhouses that do not intrude on single family homes. 4. Close to center of townhouses and near the front commercial strip are two story houses Townhouses 'behind the strip shopping center (lakes Pizza) 1. Mostly two story and a few single story townhouses. 2. Appears to be a 200 foot buffer from single family homes across the creek. 3. Major street has a curved design. 4. There are no impacts on neighors. Current commercial buildings to be replaced by Mr, York with townhouses: 1. Buildings in rear are 16 feet high vs 25 feet for the townhouses 2. Current area for landscaping is 5 feet 3. 43 feet to existing building to the fence. Other setbacks in this area 1. The swim center is set back well over 100 feet back from the Charles Ye fence line. 2. Saratoga Square Office Condo Building behind the Benevento home 1. Building sits 150 feet from the back fence 2. The landscape set back is 30 feet Question regarding the use of the Townhouse Driveway by the Muslim Association Is there an existing agreement between the York /Townhouse property and Muslin Association property regarding the use of the Townhouse Drive by both property owners? If so, has this been considered in approving this Townhouse Plan? 112 CITY OF SARATOGA 13777 FRUITVALE AVENUE R SARATOGA, CALIFORNIA 95070 (408) 868 -1201 Project Number Receipt Print pate: Address Applicant Owner Project Description 111 - 1101 -43131 Receipt Number: 35975 APCC14 -0002 0110212014 12250 SARATOGA- SUNNYVALE RD JACK MALLORY TIMESPACE SQUARE LLC NEW COM. & RES.

Although we have not reached full agreement, we have made some progress and present our ideas and hope for a win win project for the developer and the neighbors. City Council decision at the meeting Councilman Page stated in his motion: eliminate one unit in the last townhouse grouping instead of four and provide a 57 feet setback. He gave respect to the fact that the Mallory patio is only 37 feet from the fence line. He encouraged the developer and the single family homeowners to meet with the city planners to try to reach a mutual agreement. Motion was approved and the issue will be returned to the council on March 5. Following the council meeting the developers, city planners, and neighbors met on Thursday Feb 13, 2014. We had a good exchange with the developer. We believe the following summarizes the discussion: Developer recommendations a. Keep the setback at 32 feet and all 12 units. The second story of the last unit is to be moved back additional 10 feet from the fence with a height of 24 feet. b. The second story of last unit will use three clerestory windows at 6 foot from the floor. There will be no other windows on the side facing the single family neighbors. c. Remove one rear parking space to increase exclusive buffer and landscaping ranging from 10 feet to 16 feet. However, there would be no landscape buffer for 12 feet to allow for a vehicle turnaround. d. 10 foot buffer to include 15 gallon pittasporum (silver sheen) and 15 gallon California Laurel which grows to 20 feet high. Note that PG& E Wires are not 114 overhead as mentioned, but on the Mallory and Ye lots. (note: our exception is to consider a 20 to 22 foot evergreen tree in place of the California Laurel.) Our recommendation: Councilman Page in the motion discussion recommended eliminating the last unit providing a 57 feet setback from the back fence. The developer's new proposal does not support Page's recommendation or ours and keeps the 30 feet setback on the first floor with a second -story set back, much less than what Mr. Page suggested above. Here are our recommendations: Option (a) We believe the best solution is to eliminate the last unit, exactly as Councilman Page has suggested for a setback of 57 feet. This will permit a 10 foot landscape buffer except for 12 feet as noted, rear turnaround space for trucks and fire department along this narrow street, guest parking, and some open space similar to the Kirkmont Townhouses. Our second option is (b) Option (b) Re -group 12 -unit townhouses into two buildings, each consisting of 6 units (versus currently three groups, each consisting of 4 units) and move two guest parking spaces (about 20 feet wide) which are currently between buildings to the rear of the lot for a total of three parking spaces. The developer proposed the last unit as a town house with the second floor set back 10 feet. This change will give 52 feet setback, while still maintaining 12 units for the developer and reduce the impact of towering townhouses in our backyards. We believe this would also permit the 12 feet opening in the landscape buffer to be filled with landscaping. Please note that in the Oak Creek townhouse community (directly across Saratoga - Sunnyvale Rd), there are many of such 6 -unit or 5- units. As we noted, we believe the best solution is option (a) but believe option (b) could be a good compromise and a win -win solution for both the developer and the neighbors. In addition, we support the following that was presented at the meeting with the city planning staff and developers: a. The developer presented three hallway clerestory windows on the second floor of the end unit, etc. b. We suggested the landscaping buffer be installed before the townhouses are built as the townhouses may take up to two years to complete to minimize the noise, dirt, and dust from the construction and we understand the developer has agreed to this. 115 c. We suggested a safety buffer at the end of the driveway on the Muslim Association side as the masonry fence does not currently extend to this side. d. Note there will be no trees planted along this town house driveway /street only low shrubs due to lack of space for this tight development? Again thank you for this opportunity.

THE APPLICANT WILL PREPARE AND SUBMIT, FOR THE CITY'S REVIEW, AN ACCEPTABLE STORMWATER CONTROL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BEFORE SALE, TRANSFER, OR PERMANENT OCCUPANCY OF THE SITE. THE APPLICANT ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES UNTIL SUCH RESPONSIBILITY IS TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER ENTITY. SUMMARY OF MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS SWALES AND STORMWATER PLANTERS REMOVE POLLUTANT PRIMARILY BY FILTERING RUNOFF SLOWLY THROUGH AN ACTIVE LAYER OF SOIL. ROUTING MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED TO INSURE THAT FLOW IS UNOBSTRUCTED, THAT EROSION IS PREVENTED , AND THAT SOILS ARE HELD TOGETHER BY PLANT ROOTS AND ARE BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE. TYPICAL ROUTING MAINTENANCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING: *INSPECT CHANNELS, EXPOSURE OF SOILS, OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EROSION. CLEAR ANF OBSTRUCTIONS AND REMOVE ANY ACCUMULATION OF SEDIMENT. EXAMINE ROCK OR OTHER MATERIAL USED AS A SPLASH PAD AND REPLENISH IF NECESSARY. •INSPECT INLETS FOR SIGNS OF SEDIMENT BUILD UP OR PLUGGING. *INSPECT SIDE SLOPES FOR EVIDENCE OF INSTABILITY OR EROSION AND CORRECT AS NECESSARY. •OBSERVE SOIL IN THE SWALE OR PLANTER FOR UNIFORM PERCOLATION THROUGHOUT. IF PORTIONS OF THE SWALE OF FILTER DO NOT DRAIN WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER THE END OF A STORM, THE SOIL SHOULD BE TILLED AND REPLANTED. REMOVE ANY DEBRIS OR ACCUMULATIONS OF SEDIMENT. •EXAMINE THE VEGETATION TO INSURE THAT IT IS HEALTHY AND DENSE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE FILTERING AND TO PROTECT SOILS FROM EROSION. REPLENISH MULCH AS NECESSARY, REMOVE FALLEN LEAVES AND DEBRIS, PRUNE LARGE SHRUBS OR TREES AND MOW TURF AREAS. CONFIRM THAT IRRIGATION IS ADEQUATE AND EXCESSIVE. REPLACE DEAD PLANTS AND REMOVE INVASIVE VEGETATION. •ABATE ANY POTENTIAL VECTORS BY FILLING HOLES IN THE GROUND IN AND AROUND THE SWALE AND BY INSURING THAT THERE ARE NO AREAS WHERE WATER STANDS LONGER THAN 48 HOURS FOLLOWING A STORM. IF MOSQUITO LARVAE ARE PRESENT AND PERSISTENT, CONTACT THE ALAMEDA FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT FOR INFORMATION AND ADVISE. MOSQUITO LARVICIDES SHOULD BE APPLIED ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AND THEN ONLY BY A LICENSED INDIVIDUAL OR CONTRACTOR. is, • W I 0 TABLE 2: IMPERVIOUS AREA AND TREATMENT DEVICE IMPERVIOUS AREA SIZE (SF) POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SIZING FACTOR AREA /FLOW REQUIRED TREATMENT DEVICE TOTAL AREA /FLOW REQUIRED SIZE PROVIDED % PROVIDED ID # SURFACE TYPE ID # TYPE Al ROOF, WALK & PARKING 8,399 DUST /OIL /TRASH 0.034 286 BR #1 BIO- RETENTION 286 290 101 % A2 ROADWAY & WALK 5,588 DUST /OIL /TRASH 0.034 190 BR #4 BIO- RETENTION 583 588 100% A3 DRIVEWAY 1,258 DUST /OIL 0.034 131 A4 DRIVEWAY 1,258 DUST /OIL 0.034 131 A5 DRIVEWAY 1,258 DUST /OIL 0.034 131 A6 ROOF 5.313 DUST /OIL 0.034 181 BR #2 BIO- RETENTION 392 400 102% A7 ROADWAY & PARKING 881 DUST /OIL /TRASH 0.034 30 A8 ROOF 5.313 DUST /OIL 0.034 181 A9 ROADWAY & PARKING 881 DUST /OIL /TRASH 0.034 30 BR #3 BIO- RETENTION 211 224 106% A10 ROOF 5.313 DUST /OIL 0.034 181 TREATMENT FLOW: Q = CIA WHERE: C = RUNOFF COEFFICIENT 1 = 0.2 RAINFALL INTENSITY (IN /HR) (RWQCB) A = DRAINAGE AREA REQUIRING TREATMENT OVERFLOW RISER WITH GRATE.

Conduct a public hearing. 2. Adopt a resolution thereby adopting a Negative Declaration and the General Plan Housing Element. 3. Introduce and waive the first reading of the attached ordinance to amend various City Code Articles related to noise control and direct staff to place the ordinance on the consent calendar for adoption at the next regular meeting of the City Council. BACKGROUND: During the January 25, 2013 City Council Retreat the City Council approved the 2013 Planning Commission Work Plan which included an update to the General Plan Noise Element and Noise Ordinance. In May 2013 the City Council awarded a contract to Charles M. Salter Associates to work with staff to update the Housing Element and Noise Ordinance. Community Meetings Prior to commencing work on the update to the Noise Element and Noise Ordinance, the Community Development Department held two community meetings to provide the public the opportunity to discuss noise issues affecting the community. The first meeting was held on August 20, 2013 at the Fireman's Hall on Oak Street and the second meeting was held on August 27, 2013 at the Saratoga Library. Both meetings were well attended by the public. A summary of the public comments are provided in Appendix B of the Noise Element. Planning Commission Review Study Sessions In addition to the community meetings, the Planning Commission held two public study sessions to review the Noise Element and Noise Ordinance. Notice of these sessions was provided to all interested parties and was posted on a dedicated Noise Element Update web page. At the October 8, 2013 Study Session, the Planning Commission reviewed the noise policies of the existing General Plan Noise Element. Their discussion included a review of the updated traffic noise contour maps and a review of the public comments received from the community Page 1 of 4 133 meetings as well as the letters and emails that were received. The Commission also provided an opportunity for the public to comment. At the November 12, 2013 Study Session, the Commission reviewed and commented on the existing Noise Ordinance and reviewed the initial draft of the revised Noise Element. The Commission's discussion of the draft Noise Element included a review of updated text, tables, and revised Goals, Policies, and Implementation Measures. The Commission also provided an opportunity for the public to comment. Public Hearings The Planning Commission held two public hearings to review the draft General Plan Noise Element and Noise Ordinance on January 8 and January 22, 2014. The Planning Commission recommends the Council adopt the Negative Declaration and Noise Element including an ordinance which updates various Articles to the City Code. DISCUSSION: Noise Element The draft Noise Element includes updated text, tables, and revised Goals, Policies, and Procedures. A significant modification to the Element is the simplification of the goals by converting much of the detail contained within the current goals to policy statements and implementation procedures. Also included in the revised Noise Element is a discussion of environmental noise fundamentals such the frequency spectrum of sound, the variation of sound with time, the human perception of sound levels, and the effects of noise on people. The following new policies and one implementation measure are proposed in the draft Noise Element: Policy 2.2 — New residential development is to be designed and constructed to provide an interior noise level of DNL 45 dB or less in habitable rooms (due to outdoor sources). Policy 2.3 — Residential outdoor open space intended for use and enjoyment should be designed to meet a goal of DNL 60 dB. Where this level cannot feasibly be met by incorporating reasonable measures, such as strategic site layout and noise barriers, DNL 65 dB might not be considered acceptable. This policy does not apply to private exterior boundaries. Policy 2.6 — The City recognizes that certain community uses and events are inherent to a suburban environment. Policy 2.7 — Noise generated by equipment and amplified sound shall meet adopted standards. Policy 2.8 — The City shall enforce regulations pertaining to home occupations and not permit those that create noise beyond the property boundaries. Implementation 1.3.2 — City Contracts should encourage the use of equipment that incorporates the latest noise reduction techniques. Page 2 of 4 134 Noise Ordinance The purpose of the Noise Ordinance is to implement the goals and policies contained within the Noise Element. The City uses the Noise Ordinance as an enforcement tool to regulate noise to preserve the quiet residential atmosphere of the City. Some of the more significant modifications to the Noise Ordinance, including those changes to address the noise issues raised by the community, are as follows: • Leq and Lmax would replace the ambient noise standards for various land uses. Leq is the average noise level measured over a set period of time (a minimum of three minutes is proposed in the ordinance) and Lmax is the maximum noise level reached during the measurement period. Many types of decibel meters can automatically calculate the Leq and Lmax which makes enforcement simpler and more defendable versus trying to establish ambient noise levels on a case by case basis. Section 7- 30.040 has been completely re- written to reflect this new approach. • The use of gasoline - powered leaf blowers is being proposed to start two hours later on Saturdays. The current ordinance allows blowers to be used on Saturdays between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. The proposed ordinance would restrict their use on Saturdays to between 10:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. The regulations prohibiting their use on Sundays would remain. • Gasoline - powered chainsaws would share the same time restrictions as leaf - blowers except for Sundays; chainsaws could be used between 10:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. on Sundays. • Regulations pertaining to barking dogs and animal noise were modified to address the community's concerns over the ambiguity and subjective nature of the existing rules. The proposed regulations makes it unlawful for animal noise that occurs continuously for a period of five minutes or intermittently for at least 30 minute to cross property lines between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. Any animal noise crossing property lines between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. would be unlawful. The animal noise regulations are also being moved to the Noise Ordinance as Section 7- 30- 060(f). • Non - amplified noise from community uses such as playgrounds, sports facilities, and common recreational areas and community events would be exempt from the noise standards in Section 7- 30.040. • Noise limits for construction activities are being proposed at 100 dBA versus the current 83 dBA which was too low for common mechanical equipment (e.g. jackhammers) used in construction. • The expiration deadline for issuing outdoor music permits in the CH zoning district (Section 7- 30.090(b) was removed. • Acoustic music was removed from the distance restrictions for outdoor music events in Section 7- 30.090(b)(1). The block restrictions would now only apply to amplified music. Page 3 of 4 135 After the Planning Commission reviewed the Noise Ordinance and recommended approval, the City's Acoustical Consultant suggested the following minor clarification to how noise is measured. Section 7- 30.040(b) has been modified to state that noise shall be measured at least four feet away from any wall or similar large acoustically reflective surface of a site receiving noise when measuring the noise level originating off site. Previous text did not include the four feet distance from an acoustically reflective surface when measuring noise which could result inaccurate noise level readings. Initial Study/Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts The update to the General Plan Noise Element is subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. An Initial Study and Negative Declaration were prepared pursuant CEQA requirements and it was determined that the adoption of the revised Noise Element would not have a potentially significant effect on the environment. A Notice of Intent Negative Declaration was published in the Saratoga News and filed with the County Recorder for a public review period from December 17, 2013 through January 6, 2014. A copy of the Initial Study / Negative Declaration is included as an attachment to the resolution. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: A notice of the public hearing on this agenda item was published in the Saratoga News on (February 28, 2014). Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City's website in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

The Noise Element is a mandatory element of the General Plan, as required by § 65302(f) of the California Government Code. The Noise Element must analyze and quantify current and project noise levels that contribute to the community noise environment. The Noise Element is intended to be used by the community for the goal of preserving the quire residential environment of Saratoga, by controlling noise in all zone districts to levels that are compatible with existing and future land districts. OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL IS REQUIRED None. However, the City will submit, as required, the Initial Study /Negative Declaration for the Noise Element and the draft Noise Element itself to other potentially interested government agencies at the local, regional, state and federal levels for their review and comment. 1 -4 143 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 1.3 Environmental Factors Potentially Affected Environmental factors that may be affected by the Project, as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act are listed alphabetically below. Factors marked with a filled in block (X) were determined to be potentially affected by the Project, involving at least one impact that has been identified as a "Potentially Significant Impact" with mitigation measures identified that would reduce the impact to a less than significant level, as indicated in the Environmental Checklist (Chapter 3) and the related discussion that follows. Unmarked factors () were determined to not be significantly affected by the Project, based on the discussion provided in Chapter 3.

I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the Project have been made by or agreed to by the Project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed Project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed Project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed Project, nothing further is required. Signature Date 145 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 2 Project Description 2.1 Proiect Location and Settin The City of Saratoga is located in the western portion of Santa Clara County just southwest of the major metropolitan community of San Jose, and approximately 35 miles south of San Francisco. Saratoga is at the southern end of the San Francisco Peninsula. It covers an area of 12.4 square miles, with an elevation of 410 feet, and has a population of 30,677 people. The northern, southern and eastern portions of the community are sited on a historic alluvial plain shared with the adjacent communities of Cupertino, San Jose, Los Gatos, and Monte Sereno. The western portion consists of low -lying foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains and is adjacent to unincorporated areas within Santa Clara County. Major regional access to the community is provided by State Route 85 (SR -85), a six - lane freeway linking to US 280 in Cupertino and US 101 to the north in Mountain View, US 101 south in San Jose, and to SR17 to north San Jose and southwest to Santa Cruz County. Local roadways linking Saratoga to surrounding communities include Saratoga - Los Gatos Road, Saratoga Avenue, Highway 9 and Saratoga - Sunnyvale Road. 2.2 Project Description The Noise Element is a mandatory element of the General Plan required by §65302(0 of the California Government Code. The Noise Element must analyze and quantify, to the extent practicable, current and projected noise levels from the following noise sources: major traffic thoroughfares, passenger and freight railroad operations, commercial and general aviation operations, industrial plants, and other ground stationary noise sources contributing to the community noise environment. Noise levels for these sources must be shown on noise contour maps prepared on the basis of noise monitoring or modeling techniques, and the resulting noise contours must be used to guide land use decisions to reduce noise impacts ( §65302(f) of the California Government Code). 2 -7 146 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration The proposed Noise Element would update Saratoga's original Noise Element, adopted in 1988. The Noise Element is intended to be used by the community for the goal of preserving the quiet residential environment of Saratoga, by controlling noise in all zone districts to levels that are compatible with existing and future land districts. The updated element contains five chapters: 1. Introduction 2. Environmental Noise Fundamentals 3. Noise Environment in Saratoga 4. Acoustical Standards S. Goals, Policies and Implementations The Draft Noise Element is attached as an appendix to this negative declaration. Figure 1 shows the existing (2013) noise contours. Figure 2 depicts the projected future traffic noise levels, calculated based on projected traffic volume for major roadways. The Circulation Element of the General Plan contains the estimated future traffic volume data for City roadways in 2030. Estimated future traffic volumes for State Route 85 are based on a Caltrans estimate of 3 percent growth per year. It should be noted that the future noise contours simply portray conditions that would result from traffic already projected and included in the Circulation Element, rather than from any projects proposed as part of the Noise Element update. Table 1 shows the difference between existing and projected future noise levels, measured as a day -night average sound level (DNL), at key road segments. Traffic noise levels are expected to increase by between 1 and 3 decibels (dB) from existing to projected 2030 conditions.

City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 3 Environmental Checklist This Environmental Checklist provides technical analysis and discussion of environmental impacts in support of the City of Saratoga's determination regarding the appropriateness of a Negative Declaration as the environmental review process for the Project. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST This section provides an evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of the Project. These potential impacts are based on the Environmental Checklist in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G and each checklist item is followed by a detailed discussion and, if necessary, mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The level of significance is determined by considering the predicted magnitude of the Project's potential for significant impacts. The following levels of impact significance are described in this initial study: No Impact - Impact does not apply to the projects like the one involved. Less than Significant Impact - Impact would not result in a substantial and adverse change in the environment and would not require mitigation. Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation - Impact may result in a substantial or potentially substantial, adverse change in the environment; the incorporation of mitigation measures would reduce the potentially significant impact to a less than significant level. Potentially Significant Impact - Impact may result in a substantial or potentially substantial, adverse change in the environment. 3 -12 151 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 3.1 Aesthetics Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact 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? DISCUSSION a -d) Aesthetics This update to the General Plan Noise Element characterizes the existing and potential future environmental noise levels and regulates noise to levels that are compatible with existing and future land uses. Implementation of the updated Noise Element would not have a negative impact on aesthetics as it does not propose any projects, programs or actions that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect scenic vistas, damage scenic resources, degrade the visual character of any sites, or create substantial light or glare. Implementing Policy 4.3.1 of the updated Noise Element describes that noise abatement measures should be considered in the design of roadways, which may include sounds barriers. However, this would be a continuation of existing policies, and any sound barriers must conform with City policies and standards regarding visual and aesthetic resources and quality. In addition, impacts that may result from any new sound barriers would be evaluated in subsequent project- specific CEQA review. Therefore, there would be no impact on aesthetics or scenic resources. 3.2 Agricultural Resources 3 -13 Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Determination Potentially Less Than Less Than No of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Impact Mitiqation Impact 152 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration AGRICULTURE AND FOREST 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 state's 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 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? DISCUSSION a — e) Farmland and Forestland In the City of Saratoga, there are a number of agricultural lands of varying sizes, including approximately 109 acres of land currently under Williamson Act, and several hundred acres of land under Williamson Act contracts within the City's sphere of influence. This update to the General Plan Noise Element does not propose any actions that would directly or indirectly affect the agricultural or forestland resources in Saratoga. Adoption of the General Plan Noise Element goals and policies would not result in changes to areas designated for agriculture or forestry and are consistent with 3 -14 153 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration the General Plan Open Space /Conservation Element. Therefore, the proposed Project would have no impact on agricultural resources. 3.3 Air Quality Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Determination of Environmental Impact 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? DISCUSSION a -e) Air Quality Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitiqation Impact J Since this update to the General Plan Noise Element does not propose any construction, development, or increase in vehicle traffic, implementation of the element is anticipated to have no negative impacts on air quality. Policies under the "Air Quality" section of the Open Space /Conservation Element of the General Plan —with which the Noise Element is consistent —are intended to require projects to comply with Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) measures to reduce air pollutants. Therefore, there would be no impact to air quality. 3 -15 154 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 3.4 Biological Resources Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Impact IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES — Would the Project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any 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? 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 US Fish and Wildlife Service? 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? 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? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? DISCUSSION a -f) Biological Resources Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant with Significant Mitigation Impact According to the General Plan Open Space /Conservation Element, Saratoga is characterized by a diverse array of wildlife and plant species, divided into two discrete habitat types —the urbanized area and the hillside area. This update to the General Plan Noise Element characterizes future and existing and potential future noise sources with the goal of preserving the quiet residential environment of Saratoga, and does not propose any actions that would result in the development of a specific site or have an 3 -16 155 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration effect on areas designated for protection of biological resources, in both urbanized and hillside areas. Policies under the "Biological Resources" section of the Open Space /Conservation element of the General Plan —with which the Noise Element is consistent —are intended to require projects to protect and enhance biological resources. Therefore, there would be no impact to biological resources. 3.5 Cultural Resources Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Determination of Environmental Impact Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact 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? DISCUSSION a -d) Cultural Resources Saratoga has adopted a Historic Preservation Ordinance to protect irreplaceable heritage resources, and has eight historic landmarks, which are included on the National and State of California Historic Registers. The City Council has also designated the brick portion of Austin Way west of Highway 9 and Saratoga Avenue between Fruitvale Avenue and 14301 Saratoga Avenue as heritage lanes. Implementation of the General Plan would not have an impact on cultural resources in Saratoga, as it does not propose any projects, programs or actions (including ground disturbance) that could reasonably be expected to cause a substantial adverse change to a historical or archaeological resources, or affect the heritage lanes. The Noise Element would be consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance and goals and policies in the General Plan protecting cultural resources. Therefore, there would be no impact to cultural resources. 3 -17 156 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 3.6 Geology and Soils Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Impact Mitigation VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS — Would the Project: 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?

The updated Noise Element characterizes existing and potential future environmental noise levels with the goal of preserving the quiet residential environment of Saratoga. The Noise Element does not propose any construction or development projects that 3 -18 157 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration could be reasonably expected to expose people or structures to geologic risks, or have adverse impacts related to soils and geology. Therefore, there would be no impact. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Impact Mitigation Less Than No Impact Significant XVII. 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? DISCUSSION a — b) Greenhouse Gas Emissions This update to the General Plan Noise Element characterizes the existing and potential future noise level to control noise to levels that are compatible with existing and future land uses, and does not propose any projects or actions that would emit GHGs. Adoption of the Noise Element will not generate GHG emissions within the City. Therefore, there would be no impact to climate change or GHG emissions. 3.7 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact VII.

DISCUSSION a — h) Hazards and Hazardous Materials This update to the General Plan Noise Element does not propose any actions that would directly result in development of a specific site or have an effect on areas of the City. The Safety Element of the General Plan provides generalized mapping and information related to hazardous materials. Implementation of the Noise Element would not conflict with the Safety Element and does not propose projects that are expected to have negative impacts related to hazardous materials. Therefore, there would be no impact to hazards and hazardous materials. 3 -20 159 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 3.8 Hydrology and Water Quality Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Determination of Environmental Impact Potentially Less Than Significant Significant with Impact Mitigation Less Than No Impact Significant VIII. 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 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)? 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 as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? ✓ 3 -21 160 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration DISCUSSION a -j) Hydrology and Water Quality Since the Noise Element does not propose any construction or development projects, its implementation is not anticipated to have negative effects on hydrology or water quality. The General Plan Open Space /Conservation Element contains goals, policies and implementation measures for watershed protection and to protect and enhance water quality. No additional impacts related to hydrology and water quality would occur as a result of the Noise Element. 3.9 Land Use and Planning Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Impact Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant with Significant Mitigation Impact IX. 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? DISCUSSION a -c) Division of an Established Community or Conflict with Plans Implementation of the updated Noise Element is not anticipated to have an impact related to land use and planning as it does not propose any projects, programs or actions that could reasonably be expected to physically divide an established community; conflict with applicable land use plans, policies or regulations; or conflict with any habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Rather, the Noise Element is intended to control noise in all zone districts to levels that are compatible with existing land uses. Therefore, there would be no impact to land use or applicable plans. 3 -22 161 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 3.10 Mineral Resources Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Impact Mitigation X. 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? DISCUSSION a — b) Mineral Resources Less Than No Impact Significant IFA IFA According to the General Plan Open Space /Conservation Element, currently there are no mines or quarries known to be operating in Saratoga or its Sphere of Influence. Implementation of the updated Noise Element would not have an impact on mineral resources as it does not propose any projects, programs or actions that could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of availability of a locally- important mineral resource recovery site. 3.11 Noise Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Determination of Environmental Impact XI. NOISE — Would the project result in: 3 -23 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 groundborne vibration or groundborne 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? 162 Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact 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? 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? DISCUSSION a -fl Noise This update to the Noise Element characterizes existing and future environmental noise levels in the City. The Noise Element does not include new noise - generating policies, but projects future noise levels based on traffic conditions that would result from traffic already projected and included in the General Plan Circulation and Scenic Highway Element. Figures 1 and 2 show the existing and projected future noise conditions. There is a projected expansion of areas exposed to noise in the 55 to 60 dB range and 60 to 65 dB range, particularly along the Highway 85, and northeast of Highway 85 along Prospect Road, Saratoga Avenue, and Quito Road. Areas already exposed to higher noise levels along these main thoroughfares is predicted to increase. Future noise levels are expected to increase between 1 to 3 dB at key roadway segments due to roadway traffic, as shown in Table 1. As described in the draft Noise Element, a change of 1 dB in sound level cannot be perceived and a 3 dB change is considered a just- noticeable difference. The increases in exposure to higher noise levels reflect levels of traffic projected in the General Plan Circulation and Scenic Highway Element, and the associated Negative Declaration. The Noise Element is intended to preserve the quiet residential environment of Saratoga. The goals, policies and implementation measures in the Noise Element are intended to maintain or reduce noise levels in the City to avoid exposure to unacceptable or harmful noise and to promote land use compatibility by addressing noise exposure from existing and new noise sources. The goals of the Noise Element — to maintain or reduce noise levels in the City to avoid exposure to unacceptable or harmful noise; to promote land -use compatibility by addressing noise exposure from existing noise sources; to promote land -use compatibility by addressing noise exposure from new noise sources; and to maintain or reduce noise levels generated by the ground transportation system —are intended to ameliorate noise levels citywide. 3 -24 163 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration Implementation of the Noise Element would not have a negative impact related to noise as it does not propose any projects, programs, or actions that could reasonably be expected to degrade the community's noise environment. Therefore, there would be no impact to noise. 3.12 Population and Housing Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Impact Mitigation Less Than No Impact Significant XII.

DISCUSSION a -c) Population and Housing Since the proposed Noise Element does not propose any projects, programs or actions that could be reasonably expected to induce substantial population growth in the area, or displace substantial numbers or people or of existing housing units, implementation of the Noise Element is not anticipated to have an impact related to population and housing. Therefore, there would be no impact to population and housing. 3.13 Public Services Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Determination of Environmental Impact XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES — 3 -25 164 Potentially Less Than Significant Significant with Impact Mitigation Less Than No Impact Significant City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact 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: i) Fire protection? ✓ ii) Police protection? ✓ iii) Schools? ✓ iv) Parks? ✓ v) Other public facilities? ✓ DISCUSSION a) Public Services As described in the General Plan Safety Element, Fire Protection for the City of Saratoga is provided by the Santa Clara County Fire Department. and the Saratoga Fire Protection District.. The Santa Clara County Sherriff's Office West Valley Patrol Divisions serves the City of Saratoga for law enforcement services. As of February 2013, according the General Plan Safety Element, four elementary school districts, three high school districts and two community college districts serve Saratoga. According to the Open Space /Conservation Element, the City contains approximately 87 acres of parkland, of which 63 acres have been improved for park purposes. The update to the Noise Element contains goals, policies and implementation measures to control noise levels and maintain the quiet residential environment for Saratoga. These goals, policies and implementation measures are consistent with other General Plan elements. Implementing the Noise Element would not generate new demand for new or physically altered government facilities, or increase the demand for fire or police protection, schools, parks, or other public facilities. There would be no impact on public services. 3.14 Recreation Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitiqation Impact XIV. RECREATION — 3 -26 165 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact 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? DISCUSSION a, b) Recreation The General Plan Open Space /Conservation Element describes parks, open space resource and other recreation within the City of Saratoga, including the Montalvo Arboretum, Upper Stevens Creek Park, Sanborn County Park, and a network of multi- use trails in the community. The Open Space /Conservation Element also provides goals and policies to ensure that parks and trails are developed, protected, and preserved. Implementation of this update to the Noise Element does not propose any actions that would conflict with the Open Space /Conservation Element, or result in the development of a specific site or change an area, and would have no impact on the availability of existing parks or recreational facilities. 3.15 Transportation and Traffic Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Determination of Environmental Impact Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact XV. TRANSPORTATION AND 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? 3 -27 166 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration Environmental Factors and Focused Questions for Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Determination of Environmental Impact Significant Significant with Significant Impact Mitigation Impact 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)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? ✓ f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs ✓ regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? DISCUSSION a -f) Transportation and Traffic The General Plan Circulation and Scenic Highway Element describes the City of Saratoga's existing transportation system, circulation issues, scenic highways and corridors, future conditions and goals, policies and implementation measures to maintain and improve the transportation system. The projected future (2030) traffic noise contours in the Noise Element are derived from the traffic volumes in the Circulation and Scenic Highway Element. This update to the General Plan Noise Element does not propose any projects or actions that would result in the development of a specific site or change and areas within the City. Implementation of the Noise Element could therefore not be reasonably expected to cause a substantial increase in traffic, exceed traffic level of service standards, result in a change in air traffic patterns, substantially increase traffic - related hazards, result in inadequate emergency access, result in inadequate parking capacity, or interfere with alternative- transportation modes. No impacts related to transportation or traffic are anticipated. 3 -28 167 City of Saratoga Noise Element Initial Study /Negative Declaration 3.16 Utilities and Service Systems XVI.

INTRODUCTION The Noise Element of the General Plan provides a basis for comprehensive local programs to control and abate environmental noise and to protect citizens from excessive exposure. The Noise Element has been prepared to meet the requirements of California Planning law Section 65302 (f), which requires a Noise Element as one of the seven mandatory elements. The Noise Element has been prepared in recognition of the guidelines adopted by the State Office of Noise Control pursuant to the Health and Safety Code. The Noise Element quantifies the community noise environment in terms of noise exposure contours for both the near and long -term levels of growth and traffic activity. Purpose and Goal of Noise Element The purpose of the Noise Element is to characterize existing and potential future environmental noise levels for use in various land -use planning processes. The Noise Element is intended to be used by the community in the goal of preserving the quiet residential environment of Saratoga. This is done by controlling noise in all zone districts to levels that are compatible with existing and future land uses. II. ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE FUNDAMENTALS Airborne sound is a rapid fluctuation of air pressure above and below atmospheric pressure. Noise is usually defined as unwanted sound. Environmental noise is a part of modern society, such as noise from transportation vehicles, machinery, people, and other devices. Some sounds that are desirable to one person might be noise to another individual. Therefore, objective measures have been developed to characterize noise environments. These measures include the following aspects of sound: • The frequency spectrum of the sound • The time - varying character of the sound • The intensity or level of the sound Frequency Spectrum The "frequency" of a sound refers to the number of complete pressure fluctuations per second in the sound. The unit of measurement is cycles per second (cps) or hertz (Hz). Most of the sounds we hear in the environment do not consist of a single frequency, but rather of a broad band of frequencies, differing in level. The frequency and level content of a sound is called its sound spectrum. To permit comparisons of sounds having quite different spectra, frequency weighting methods have been devised to correlate with human response (i.e., perceived loudness). "A- weighting" progressively de- emphasizes the importance of frequency components below 1,000 Hz and above 5,000 Hz. This frequency weighting reflects the fact that human hearing is less sensitive at low frequencies and at extreme high frequencies relative to the mid - range. The unit of A- weighted sound levels is sometimes abbreviated "dBA." 19 December 2013 174 Page 4 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element Variation of Sound with Time Although a single sound level value can adequately describe environmental noise at any instant in time, community noise levels vary continuously. Most environmental noise is a conglomeration of distant noise sources, which results in a relatively steady noise having no identifiable source. These distant sources could include traffic, wind in trees, or continuous industrial processes and are relatively constant from moment to moment but usually vary from hour to hour with community activities (e.g., traffic levels). Superimposed on this slowly varying background is a succession of identifiable noisy events of brief duration. These might include nearby activities such as single vehicle passbys, train horns, or aircraft flyovers that cause the environmental noise level to vary from moment to moment. To describe the time - varying character of environmental noise, statistical noise descriptors were developed. "Llo" is the A- weighted sound level equaled or exceeded during 10 percent of a stated time period and is considered a good measure of typical maximum sound levels caused by discrete noise events. The °190" is the A- weighted sound level equaled or exceeded during 90 percent of a stated time period and is commonly used to describe the noise. A single number called "Leq" is also widely used. The term "Leq" originated from the concept of a so- called Equivalent Sound Level that contains the same acoustical energy as a varying sound level during the same time period. In other words, the Leq is the average A- weighted sound level in a stated time period. In determining the daily measure of environmental noise, it is important to account for the different response of people to daytime and nighttime noise. During the nighttime, exterior noise levels are generally lower than in the daytime. However, most household noise also decreases at night; thus, exterior noise intrusions become noticeable. Further, most people trying to sleep at night are more sensitive to noise. To account for human sensitivity to nighttime noise levels, a special descriptor was developed. The descriptor is called the DNL (Day -Night Average Sound Level), which represents the 24 -hour average sound level with a 10 dB "penalty" for noise occurring at night. Level of Sound It has been found that the human ear responds logarithmically to changes in sound pressure levels. Therefore, sound levels are usually measured and expressed in decibels (dB), with 0 dB corresponding roughly to the threshold of hearing. A decibel is a logarithmic unit used to describe the intensity or level of a sound with respect to a standardized reference sound level. With regard to increases in noise level, knowledge of the following relationships will be helpful in understanding the quantitative sections of this report: 1. Except in carefully controlled laboratory experiments, a change of only 1 dB in sound level cannot be perceived. 2. Outside of the laboratory, a 3 dB change is considered a just - noticeable difference. 3. A change in level of at least 5 dB is required before any noticeable change in community response would be expected. 4. A 10 dB change is subjectively heard as approximately a doubling in loudness, and would almost certainly cause an adverse community response. 19 December 2013 175 Page 5 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element 5. Sound levels do not combine arithmetically. Instead, they sum logarithmically, in a manner similar to the Richter scale, which is used for measuring the intensity of earthquakes. The following two examples illustrate this: - If the existing noise level at a particular location is 60 dB, and a new source of sound with a similar spectrum is introduced that also measures 60 dB, the result is not 120 dB; it is 63 dB. - If the existing noise level at a particular location is 60 dB, and a new sound source with a similar spectrum is introduced that measures 50 dB, the result is not 110 dB; it is still 60 dB. The new source is so much quieter than the existing one that it does not significantly contribute to the resulting sound level. Additional definitions of acoustical terms are listed in Appendix A. Common sound levels found in the environment are identified in Figure NE -1. FIGURE NE -1: How LOUD IS IT?

In general, sound radiating from a single object (called a "point" source), like a train horn or rooftop fan, is reduced by 6 dB for every doubling of distance. Noise radiating from a long single source or long continuous series of similar sources (called a "line" source) is attenuated by 3 dB for every doubling of distance. A roadway with varying levels of continuous traffic behaves similar to a line source with noise levels attenuated by between 3 and 4.5 dB per doubling of distance in typical conditions. Noise levels can also be reduced by intervening structures. For example, a noise barrier wall or even a single row of buildings between the receptor and the noise source reduces the noise level by about 5 dB to 10 dB. Structures also act to insulate people inside these structures from exterior noise. Common home construction methods generally provide a reduction of exterior -to- interior noise levels of about 20 dB to 30 dB with closed windows. Effects of Noise on People The typical effects of noise on people are summarized below. The sound levels associated with environmental noise usually only produce effects in the first four categories. • Annoyance is the most difficult of all noise responses to describe. Annoyance is a very individual characteristic and can vary widely from person to person. What one person considers acceptable can be intolerable to another of equal hearing capability. For example, some people like the sound of trains, while others do not. • Physiological responses are those measurable noise effects on the human body, such as changes in pulse rate, blood pressure, etc. While such effects can be induced and observed, the extent to which these physiological responses cause harm or are a sign of harm is not known. • Sleep interference is a major concern with respect to transportation - generated noise. Sleep disturbance studies have identified interior noise levels attributed to transportation noise as a key factor of sleep disturbance. However, sleep disturbance does not necessarily equate to awakening from sleep; rather, it can refer to disruption of the sleep pattern and stages of sleep. Train and aircraft noise is a major source of complaints. • Speech interference is one of the primary concerns associated with environmental noise. Normal conversational speech is in the range of 60 to 66 dB. Steady elevated noise levels can interfere with speech. Depending on the distance between the speaker and the listener, raised voice levels may be required to overcome the background noise. • Potential hearing loss is commonly associated with occupational exposures in heavy industry or very noisy work environments. Noise levels in neighborhoods, even near very noisy airports, are not considered sufficiently loud to cause hearing loss. 19 December 2013 177 Page 7 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element III.NOISE ENVIRONMENT IN SARATOGA Noise exposure in the City of Saratoga is principally generated by vehicular traffic on highways and arterial roads. Other sources of noise include a spur rail line, distant aircraft, and commercial activities. Road Traffic Traffic noise levels depend primarily on vehicular speed and total traffic volume, but also the type of vehicle. The primary source of noise from automobiles is high- frequency tire noise. Trucks, older automobiles, and motorcycles produce significant engine and exhaust noise, and trucks can also generate wind noise. Descriptions of major roadways in the City of Saratoga are found in the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Raiff The Southern Pacific rail network includes a spur line extending from San Jose, across Saratoga from Prospect Road in the north to Quito Road in the southeast. Train passbys occur occasionally. For example, during a one week survey in 2013, only two train passbys were identified. Often the loudest noise source associated with rail lines is horn blasts at grade crossings which occur at Arroyo De Arguello, Saratoga - Sunnyvale Road, Cox Avenue, Glen Brae Drive, and Quito Road. Locomotive, rail car, and wheel contact are other sources of noise during passbys. Aircraft Occasional aircraft flyovers are generated by facilities such as San Jose International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, and Moffett Field. Aircraft noise in Saratoga is a relatively small part of the City's noise environment. Flyovers of large aircraft from San Jose International Airport are at altitudes that make their noise noticeable, but not intrusive at ground level. Commercial Commercial concentrations and community and neighborhood shopping centers are located on Saratoga Avenue and Saratoga - Sunnyvale Road at intersections with other arterial streets. There is also a neighborhood center on Cox Avenue. The Village is also a concentration of business activities and is the historic commercial core. Activities such as truck unloading, trash collection, landscape maintenance, HVAC equipment, and events are sources of environmental noise associated with commercial and community centers. Facilities located in the Saratoga hills are also associated with event - related noise that contributes to the noise environment in the City. Existing Traffic Noise Levels Existing traffic noise levels in the City of Saratoga are assessed via noise measurements and computer - generated noise contours. The contours are based on both traffic data and noise measurement results. A noise measurement survey was conducted in Saratoga during July 2013 to determine noise levels throughout the community. The noise survey consisted of long -term (seven -day) noise measurements at six locations along major roadways. The noise monitors were installed at a height of 12 feet above grade. Additional short -term (15- minute) measurements were conducted at an additional six associated locations along the subject roadways to compare various roadway segments. Results of the survey are listed in Table NE -1 below. Measurement locations are shown in a map in Appendix B. 19 December 2013 178 Page 8 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element TABLE NE -1: NOISE MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS AND RESULTS Location DNL at 50 feet Location Description No. From Centerline ST -1 Along Prospect Road between Saratoga - 70 dB 100 -foot distance: Sunnyvale Road and Miller Avenue 67 to 71 dB with ST -2 Saratoga - Sunnyvale between Prospect Road 71 dB At nominal and Cox Avenue 100 -foot distance: LT -3 Saratoga - Sunnyvale between Cox Avenue 70 dB 56 dB and Saratoga Avenue ST -4 Cox Avenue between Saratoga - Sunnyvale 66 dB Road and Saratoga Avenue LT -5 Saratoga Avenue between Cox Avenue and 72 dB Highway 85 ST -6 Saratoga Avenue between Fruitvale Avenue 68 dB and Saratoga - Sunnyvale Road LT -7 Big Basin Way between Saratoga - Sunnyvale 68 dB Road and Pierce Road ST -8 Quito Road between Saratoga Avenue and 68 dB Allendale Avenue ST -9 Saratoga -Los Gatos Road between Saratoga 67 dB Avenue and Fruitvale Avenue LT -10 Saratoga -Los Gatos Road between Fruitvale 71 dB Avenue and Quito Road Notes: Unless noted, DNL values are normalized to a measurement distance of 50 feet from the roadway centerline.

Source: Charles Salter Associates, 2013 19 December 2013 179 Page 9 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element The Federal Highway Administration's Highway Traffic Noise Model (FHWA -RD -77 -108) was used to calculate traffic noise levels along major roadways in Saratoga using traffic data from Circulation Element traffic study. Appendix C provides a summary of the results and calculated nominal distances to several noise contour levels for the existing condition. The analysis of city-wide traffic noise levels and associated policies were primarily based on these annualized average daily traffic data. The noise measurement results were used to verify these calculations. The measurements were in -line with calculation results. The noise contour map of existing conditions generated for highways and major arterials in Saratoga is contained in Appendix C. The map indicates the noise exposure levels associated with these roadways. Actual conditions on each property will vary from the contours, particularly at longer distances, due to such factors as elevation, terrain, noise barriers, and screening. In establishing noise contours for land -use planning, it is customary to ignore noise attenuation afforded by such factors. The result is a worst -case estimate of the noise environment. The assumption is that it is preferable to overestimate the potential noise at a site than to underestimate the noise environment and allow for potentially incompatible land -use development. However, Saratoga noise contours do account for the depression of Highway 85 and the virtually continuous noise barriers flanking the roadway since these features have a significant effect on the traffic noise levels in the surrounding areas. Future Traffic Noise L e vels Projected future traffic noise levels in the City of Saratoga were calculated based on projected traffic volume data for major roadways. Estimated future traffic volume data for City roadways in 2030 are published in the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Estimated future traffic volume for Highway 85 are based on a Caltrans estimate for growth of 3- percent per year. Appendix D provides a summary of the results and calculated nominal distances to several noise contour levels for the future (2030) condition and also a map illustrating the noise contours. From existing conditions, traffic noise levels are expected to increase by between 1 and 3 dB. IV. ACOUSTICAL STANDARDS A. Land -Use Compatibility (Exterior Noise Impacts) The exterior noise land -use compatibility guidelines shown in Table NE -2 are those recommended as being environmentally acceptable for approval of new development in the City of Saratoga, consistent with the previous noise element, and in line with communities similar to the City of Saratoga and State guidelines. Noise in the City of Saratoga is generated by a variety of sources. Land -use compatibility for new development may take into account the nature of the sources and receivers under consideration. For example, community uses and events within residential neighborhoods are commonly desirable features even though such facilities may have a noise characteristic that varies from typical residential areas. 19 December 2013 :1 Page 10 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element TABLE NE -2: NEW DEVELOPMENT LAND-USE COMPATIBILITY GUIDELINES Outdoor Day -Night Average Sound Level (DNQ, in dB rl_114Q01:6]1xy Sound levels above are as measured at the exterior of the proposed location of the new development (e.g., residential unit, commercial building, etc.) rather than at the property boundary of the source or the property to be developed. Refer to Table LU -1 (Land -Use Element) for detailed descriptions of land -use categories and land -uses for which these guidelines apply. These guidelines are derived from the California Department of Health Services, Guidelines for the Preparation and Content of the Noise Element of the General Plan, 2003. The State Guidelines have been modified to reflect standards for the City of Saratoga. 1 Normally Acceptable — Specified land use is satisfactory, based upon the assumption that any buildings involved are of normal conventional construction. There are no special noise insulation requirements. z Conditionally Acceptable — New construction should be undertaken only after a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirement is conducted and needed noise insulation features included in the design. 3 Normally Unacceptable — New construction should be discouraged and may be denied as inconsistent with the General Plan and City Code. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features included in the design. 4 Outdoor open space noise standards do not apply to private balconies /patios. Land -use planning can provide an effective means of mitigating adverse noise impacts by separating noise - sensitive areas from noise sources. Site - specific noise mitigation structures, such as sound walls or structural soundproofing, can then be avoided or reduced. In developed areas, however, there is not always sufficient land to allow adequate separation of population concentrations from transportation systems, which are the major sources of noise. Site - specific noise abatement measures must be taken in these instances. Control of noise can be accomplished by controlling noise at the source in the new development, buffering the pathway of sound waves with barriers or increased distance, controlling the transmission of noise through structures, and by enclosing or protecting the receiver of noise. 19 December 2013 181 Page 11 Normally Conditionally Normally Land -Use Category Acceptable' Acceptable Unacceptable Residential - Single- family up to 60 > 60 to 70 > 70 - Multi- family up to 65 > 65 to 70 > 70 Open Space4 /Parks up to 60 > 60 to 70 > 70 Commercial /Office up to 65 > 65 to 75 > 75 Public and quasi - Public Facilities up to 60 > 60 to 65 > 65 rl_114Q01:6]1xy Sound levels above are as measured at the exterior of the proposed location of the new development (e.g., residential unit, commercial building, etc.) rather than at the property boundary of the source or the property to be developed.

Land -Use Compatibility (Interior Noise Impacts) - Standards Related to State Regulations Traditionally, the State of California Building Code has included sound insulation standards to reduce exterior -to- interior noise intrusion to habitable rooms of multi - family residential buildings. An interior noise level standard of DNL 45 dB is established for the City of Saratoga as the maximum allowable noise level in all residential buildings including single - family homes (due to outdoor noise sources). The State of California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) includes interior noise standards for non - residential buildings. Currently, the CALGreen Code prescribes an interior noise level standard of Leq(h) 50 dB as the maximum allowable hourly average noise level during any hour of operation in certain commercial /office buildings (due to outdoor noise sources). This standard is established for the City of Saratoga as the maximum allowable noise level in all non - residential buildings (due to outdoor noise sources). C. Municipal Regulations for Existing Noise Sources Community responses to existing noise sources have centered on equipment, animals, and events. The City of Saratoga City Code includes regulations on sources of noise to limit noise transfer across property lines and administrative controls regarding animals. Typical limits address operating levels and restricted hours. Further restrictions on equipment noise might be appropriate as improved technology is developed. Noise control standards are incorporated into the City Code to limit the level of noise from a source which may be transferred at the property plane between adjoining properties in the City and are described in greater detail below. Noise control standards of the City Code (e.g., the Noise Control Ordinance at City Code Article 7 -30 are applied two ways. They are used to address potential noise from new /proposed equipment that is submitted for permit. In addition, the standards are to address complaints of noise transfer between properties. The objective limits contained in the Noise Control Ordinance are developed to establish standards for unacceptable noise levels generated by equipment, animals, amplified sound systems and other sources. Zoning Standards The principal use of zoning standards is related to noise compatibility and separating incompatible land -uses for new development. In addition, zoning standards can regulate specific details of development design or construction, such as limiting building heights, and requiring buffer strips, noise barriers, and sound - insulating constructions. Physical noise reduction techniques that can be utilized fall into the four major categories shown below. These physical techniques vary widely in their noise reduction characteristics, their costs, and in their applicability to specific locations and conditions D. Noise Reduction Techniques Education should be made available to increase awareness of noise compatibility issues and noise control measures. 19 December 2013 MIA Page 12 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element Acoustical site planning uses the arrangement of buildings on a tract of land to reduce noise impacts by capitalizing on a site's natural characteristics. Opportunities for successful acoustical site planning are determined by the size of the lot, the terrain, and the zoning restrictions. Acoustical site planning techniques include: • Placing as much distance as feasible between the noise source and the noise sensitive activity. • Placing noise - compatible activities such as parking lots, open space, and commercial facilities, between the noise source and the sensitive activity. • Using buildings as noise barriers. • Orienting noise - sensitive buildings to face away from the noise sources. For example, houses placed near the front of long narrow lots can have deep rear yards available to act as noise buffers from a neighboring noise source. Acoustical architectural design incorporates noise - reducing concepts in the layout of individual buildings. The areas of architectural concern include building height, room arrangement, window placement, and balcony and courtyard design. For example, in some cases, noise impacts can be reduced if the building is limited to one story and if bedrooms and living rooms are placed in the part of the building farthest from the noise source, while kitchens and bathrooms are placed closer to the noise source. Acoustical building construction is the treatment of the various parts of a building to reduce interior noise impacts. It includes the use of walls, windows, doors, roof assemblies, and penetrations in the building envelope that have been treated to reduce sound transmission into a building. The use of dense materials, structural isolation, and air - spaces within assemblies are primary noise reduction techniques. Acoustical construction is one of the most effective ways of reducing interior noise. Noise barriers can be erected between noise sources and noise - sensitive areas. Barrier types include berms made of sloping mounds of earth, walls, fences, and combinations of these materials. The choice between these depends on a variety of factors including the desired level of sound reduction, space, cost, safety, privacy, and aesthetics. Solid wall barriers might reflect sound from one side of a highway to the other, slightly increasing sound levels. Earth berms deflect sound upward and tend to eliminate this condition; a combination of the two is usually recommended where possible for this reason. 19 December 2013 183 Page 13 City of Saratoga V.

A- Weighting: A frequency weighting applied to sound pressure levels to better correlate with the loudness of sounds as perceived by the human ear. All sound levels discussed in this Element are A- Weighted. The unit of A- weighted sound levels is sometimes abbreviated "dBA ". Continuous Noise: On -going noise, the intensity of which remains at a measurable level (which might or might not vary) without interruption over an indefinite period or a specified period of time. Day -Night Average Sound Level (DNL): An A- Weighted sound level averaged on the basis of sound energy for a 24 -hour noise exposure including a 10 dB penalty added to sound levels occurring during nighttime hours. dB (Decibel): A standardized unit of sound pressure level. Increasing values related to louder sounds. Decible represents the logarithm of the ratio of measured acoustical energy and a standard reference of 20 microPascals. Frequency: The time rate of repetition of a periodic phenomenon (in cycles per second or hertz). Hours, Daytime: Between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Hours, Evening: Between the hours of 7:00 p.m and 10:00 p.m. Hours, Nighttime: Between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Land -Use Area: Reasonably homogenous and identifiable areas composed of similar general types of land uses such as residential, commercial, or industrial districts. Li0 and L90 Sound Levels: The sound level that is exceeded, cumulatively, during 10, 50, or 90 percent of a specified time period, respectively. "Llo" is the A- weighted sound level equaled or exceeded during 10 percent of a stated time period and is considered a good measure of typical maximum sound levels caused by discrete noise events. The "L90" is the A- weighted sound level equaled or exceeded during 90 percent of a stated time period and is commonly used to describe the noise level. LeQ, Equivalent Sound Level: The average A- weighted noise level over a stated time period. Loudness: The attribute of an auditory sensation relating to its intensity or magnitude. Loudness depends primarily upon the sound pressure of the stimulus, but it also depends upon the frequency and wave form of the stimulus. Noise Exposure Contours: Lines drawn about a noise source indicating constant levels of noise exposure. DNL is the metric utilized herein to describe community exposure to noise. Sound Insulation: (1) the use of structures and materials designed to reduce the transmission of sound. (2) The degree by which sound transmission is reduced by means of sound insulating structures and materials. 19 December 2013 187 Page 17 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element APPENDIX B: METHODOLOGY AND REFERENCES Methodology The Noise Element was prepared to accomplish two tasks. One was to comply with Section 65302 (f) of the Government Code which states that a Noise Element is a mandatory element of a General Plan. The other task is to establish a City-wide policy document that stipulates that the preservation of the City of Saratoga's 'relatively quiet" acoustic environment is necessary and beneficial for the General health and welfare of all residents. To accomplish both of these tasks, the following methodology was utilized. During the writing of the Noise Element some parts of the methodology were emphasized more than others due to the acoustical characteristics inherent to the City of Saratoga. • Preliminary identification of problem noise areas • Collection of data on existing and proposed transportation sound sources • Collection of information on general sound levels throughout the City • Review of information from published sources regarding effects of sound on human activities, health, and well -being • Survey of noise control regulations from other jurisdictions • Preparation of standards that relate sound levels to types of land use and environmental factors • Formulation of policy statements and implementation alternatives • Citizen input and awareness To update the Noise Element, additional transportation noise measurements were conducted throughout the City, revised models of existing and projected future noise contours were generated, content was refined to reflect updated State Guidelines on the preparation of Noise Elements, and updated community feedback was gathered. The following notes summarize input received at two community meetings: Noise Issues from 20 August 2013 meeting at Fireman's Hall • Noise levels may be too low in current ordinance, needs to be real and practical • Motorcycles engines are too loud • Construction Noise — Sunday work, better information should be provided to contractors • Maintain existing noise standards for residential • Look at noise emitted from community functions — Schools, Clubs, Hakone • Leaf Blowers — compare with other cities (popular issue) • Garbage Trucks — time of pick up, too noisy in the morning • Barking Dogs — need better regulations and enforcement (popular issue) • The volume of outdoor music in the village is better this year than last • Review strict dB levels — children playing can exceed allowable noise levels Not all noise is the same — the type of noise can make a big difference Amplified noise vs. voices • Construction Noise — compressor can be less noisy than a hammer Noise Issues from 27 August 2013 meeting at Saratoga Library Create Noise Web Page Animal Noise — Turkeys, chickens, roosters Community uses — schools can be sources of noise 19 December 2013 im Page 18 City of Saratoga DRAFT Noise Element • Barking Dogs (popular issue) • Home Occupation Noise — home based businesses creating too much noise • Resurface Highway 85 to reduce noise • Leaf Blowers — consider banning gas powered leaf blowers • Motorcycle noise • Allendale and Quito Bus — bus stopping in front of house with loud speaker being heard • Hakone — noise from events.

Section 4. Publication. A summary of this ordinance shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation of the City of Saratoga within fifteen days after its adoption. Following a duly notice public hearing the foregoing ordinance was introduced at the regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Saratoga held on the 5th day of March, 2014, and was adopted by the following vote on March 19, 2014. 14 No COUNCIL MEMBERS: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: SIGNED: EMILY LO MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA Saratoga, California APPROVED AS TO FORM: RICHARD TAYLOR, CITY ATTORNEY 567980.1 ATTEST: CRYSTAL BOTHELIO CLERK OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA Saratoga, California 15 209 og SAg SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL 1D66 I,C 0 i0 MEETING DATE: March 5, 2014 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Crystal Bothelio DIRECTOR: Dave Anderson City Clerk SUBJECT: City Council Retreat Meeting Minutes RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide guidance on wording on City Council Retreat Agenda Item 5: Capital Improvement Projects candidates and approve City Council minutes for the City Council Retreat on February 7, 2014.

ROLL CALL PRESENT Mayor Emily Lo, Vice Mayor Howard Miller, Council Members Manny Cappello, Chuck Page, Jill Hunter ABSENT: None ALSO PRESENT: Dave Anderson, City Manager Richard Taylor, City Attorney Crystal Bothelio, City Clerk John Cherbone, Public Works Director Mary Furey, Finance and Administrative Services Director James Lindsay, Community Development Director Michael Taylor, Recreation and Facilities Director Captain Ken Binder, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Monica LaBossiere, Human Resources Manager Christopher Riordan, Senior Planner Tony McFarlane, Accounting Manager Mainini Cabute, Management Analyst II Brian Babcock, Administrative Analyst I Franziska Church, Traffic Engineer REPORT OF CITY CLERK ON POSTING OF THE AGENDA City Clerk Crystal Bothelio reported that pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, the agenda for this meeting was property posted on February 4, 2014. COMMUNICATIONS FROM COMMISSIONS & PUBLIC Oral Communications on Non- Agendized Items Council Member Jill Hunter shared that the Village Ad Hoc allocated $3,500 for a fagade improvement project in the Village. AGENDA TOPICS 1. SPEED LIMIT ENFORCEMENT & TRAFFIC CALMING Mainini Cabute, Management Analyst II in the Public Works Department, introduced the item. 212 Captain Ken Binder with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office provided information about historical data on citations in Saratoga. He explained that the number of traffic tickets issued naturally ebbs and flows. He provided an overview of revenues from citations, explaining that very little money generated from tickets go to cities. Captain Binder then provided information about the number of traffic officers used in neighboring cities, including Los Altos and Los Gatos. In the speed survey, Captain Binder noted, there was a rise in speeding on 31 streets in Saratoga. Available data does not show that an increase in citations results in a decrease in speeding or collisions. However, the City Council could experiment by increasing the number of traffic officer hours in Saratoga to see if it changes driver behavior. Additionally, increased collaboration with schools to improve traffic flow during pick up and drop off hours may help improve traffic conditions in the City. Vice Mayor Miller commented that it might be helpful to conduct outreach to schools at Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) at the beginning of the year. Captain Binder responded that the Sheriff's Office does attend PTA meetings at the beginning of the school year to review traffic regulations. Vice Mayor Miller and Council Member Hunter commented upon changes in the ways schools have approached drop off and pick up traffic issues. Mayor Lo observed that while it is useful to do outreach to PTA groups, many parents are unable to attend PTA meetings. While all outreach is useful, a broader approach may be necessary to reach a wider audience. Public Works Director John Cherbone shared that in September, staff sent letters to all the schools in Saratoga and offered the service of the Traffic Engineer to evaluate flow of traffic during drop off and pick up hours and then provide recommendations on how to improve traffic flow. Only one school accepted the offer. City Manager Dave Anderson recalled that when he became City Manager, there were significant concerns about school - related traffic. At that time, the Council established a task force to review traffic issues and worked with a traffic engineer to develop school site plans intended to address problems. The effort resulted in improvements for several years, but problems began to resurface after the task force was disbanded. He suggested that if the City Council would like to deal with drop off and pick up hour traffic issues then the Council may want to consider forming a consortium of representatives of the schools and City to meet regularly to address school - related traffic concerns. Council Member Hunter said that when she was on the Saratoga Union School Board, parents were invited to coffee meetings after dropping off their children to receive information from the Sheriff's Office. She thought the meetings were effective in educating parents. Mayor Lo suggested that the City find a way to tap into the existing communication systems 2 213 that the schools have in place. City Manager Dave Anderson commented that it is usually helpful to have a presence on campus during drop off and pick up hours to direct drivers. Vice Mayor Miller agreed, but shared an example of how poorly focused or trained volunteers overseeing drop off and pick up do little to improve traffic flow. Mayor Lo asked if the City School Ad Hoc could oversee discussions with schools to improve traffic flow or if a special task force should be established. City Manager Dave Anderson suggested a task force would be a more effective method to engage schools. Traffic Engineer Franziska Church then proceeded to share information about speed related collisions in the City. She showed the City Council a slide showing where speed collisions happen in the City. She then explained that 60 roadway segments are selected for speed survey. These segments are selected based on criteria set forth in State Code. The Traffic Engineer then presented options for increasing traffic enforcement. The Traffic Safety Commission reviewed the options and recommended increasing the number of traffic enforcement officers in Saratoga by 1 full -time equivalent (FTE). The Traffic Engineer suggested that if traffic enforcement hours are increased, the City might want to consider establishing goals for reduction of speeding and collisions. She also suggested that if traffic enforcement hours are increased that they be increased for a period of 2 -years to provide sufficient time to change driver behavior. Vice Mayor Miller asked if staff or the Traffic Safety Commission considered physical changes to roadways as a means to deter speeding and prevent accidents. Traffic Engineer Franziska Church acknowledged that physical improvements could change driver behavior. However, many of the roads that present the highest concern for speeding are windy, narrow hillside roads where there are limited opportunities for physical implementations. Public Works Director John Cherbone added that staff and the Traffic Safety Commission have considered physical improvements intended to calm traffic on many of these roadways, but found that residents are generally opposed having the traffic calming devices installed in front of their home. Captain Binder then provided the Council with information on the impact of speed surveys on radar speed enforcement. Speed limits are commonly 8 to 12 miles per hour below the 85th percentile of vehicle speed. If driver speeding causes the 85th percentile on a road to increase and the speed limit is not increased to reflect the change in driver speed, it affects the ability of law enforcement to issue tickets by radar. This limitation does not apply if the driver is traveling at 65 miles per hour or more. 214 Mayor Lo raised concerns about increasing speed limits. Council Member Page commented that in the past the City has worked with the Sheriff's Office to adjust shifts to focus enforcement during high traffic hours. Captain Binder noted that options for adjusting shifts are limited when there is only 1 traffic enforcement officer. Council Member Hunter inquired about standards for and process for installation of physical traffic calming measures in other communities. Mayor Lo commented upon speeding problems she has observed on Beaumont Avenue. City Manager Dave Anderson shared his thoughts on the challenges associated with changing driver behavior, especially on streets that drivers use frequently. Vice Mayor Miller noted that data on accidents appears to show that accidents have declined. Mayor Lo acknowledged that the number of accidents may have declined, but this information does not indicate whether accident severity has also declined. Therefore, the City should continue to make efforts to reduce accidents as even a single accident may have very serious consequences. Council Member Page raised concerns that there may be an overabundance of signage in the City. He added that he would like to further investigate the option of adding another traffic enforcement officer to the City and increasing speed limits where appropriate. Council Member Hunter stated she felt changes to enforcement levels or speed limit are not necessary. Vice Mayor Miller noted that it might not be appropriate to raise the speed limit on certain streets, such as streets in residential areas. Council Member Hunter proposed driver education to reduce speeding. Council Member Page requested that staff return to City Council with a list of streets where a change of speed limit is proposed, including the proposed change to the speed limit. Vice Mayor Miller added that he would like to see this information as well. Vice Mayor Miller and Council Member Page also suggested reaching out to schools to cooperatively work to address circulation issues once further analysis of traffic issues is performed. Council Member Page added that he would like to discuss formation of a task force after M 215 additional information about speed and traffic issues is brought back to the City Council, in case particular stakeholders need to be targeted for the task force. Vice Mayor Miller stated that he would like the report to include information about physical improvements or changes that can be made on problematic streets to further calm traffic. Mayor Love invited public comment on the item. The following person requested to speak: Trish Cypher raised concerns about the need to calm traffic. She suggested improving dialogue and understanding between motorists and bicyclists. No one else requested to speak. Council Member Hunter voiced concerns about the meeting schedule of the Traffic Safety Commission and suggested that the group meet more often. COUNCIL DIRECTION: Council directed staff to return to the City Council with a report that: 1) Reviews a combination of options for calming traffic through modifications to speed limits, increasing the amount of traffic enforcement hours provided by the Sheriff's Office in Saratoga, and physical improvements; 2) Provides the Council with options for formation of a task force to assist with traffic calming in the City; and 3) Includes a recommendation from the Traffic Safety Commission on traffic calming and task force options. 2. EVENT FUNDING & COMMUNITY EVENT GRANT PROGRAM Brian Babcock, Administrative Analyst I in the City Manager's Office, introduced the item. He provided background on the Community Event Grant Program, including history of event funding allocations, then provided the Council with some options for amending program criteria and priorities. Mayor Lo invited public comment on the item. The following person requested to speak: Trish Cypher No one else requested to speak. Mayor Lo suggested that the criteria include the requirement that events are free for the public to attend. 5 216 Council Member Page questioned creation of a requirement that events be free to the public. Council Member Hunter supported the suggestion to require events be free to qualify for grant funding. City Manager Dave Anderson suggested that the Council could prioritize free events, instead of requiring that events be free to the public. Council Member Hunter stated she was in favor of that proposal. Vice Mayor Miller commented upon some of the things that he disliked about the Community Event Grant Program and stated he felt that the Council keep criteria for the program minimal so that the City Council can collectively review a broad range of events then select the ones that the Council feels are in the best interest of the community. Council Member Cappello commented that he has no preference between free events and events that charge for admission. He stated that he would like to add criteria to the program that requires events build a sense of community. Council Member Hunter noted that assessing whether an event builds a sense of community is very subjective. Council Member Page added that it would be difficult for staff to apply such a subjective criteria. City Manager Dave Anderson added that there are different ways to interpret how an event builds a sense of community. For example, would a small event that builds a strong sense of community among a small segment of residents meet the criteria to build community? Council Member Cappello stated he didn't feel that the criteria needed to be strictly defined. He added he thought it might help pair down the number of applications if applicants understand upfront that events funded through the grant program must build community. Council Member Page stated that he preferred to keep the criteria limited as it allows event organizers the freedom to propose unique and unexpected events. He also said he prefers that criteria be limited to objective matters that staff can easily assess. Council Member Cappello argued that at a minimum applicants need to be able to articulate why their proposed event builds community. Mayor Lo suggested that building a sense of community be included in the priorities for the program. Council Member Hunter added that the grant application could include a question asking applicants to explain how the proposed event builds community. 0 217 Council Member Cappello said he would accept building a sense of community as a priority and preferred that it be the first priority. Council Member Hunter stated she thought simply adding a question about building community would be sufficient. Mayor Lo asked how the Council would assess an events ability to build community. Council Members Cappello and Page said that they did not think it was necessary to define the meaning of a community building event. Mayor Lo said that she would like to include free events in the funding priorities for the program. Mayor Lo invited public comment on the item again. The following people requested to speak: Joyce Hlava, Chair of the Planning Commission, spoke about her experiences submitting grant applications on behalf of the Saratoga Foothill Club. She appreciated grant programs with very explicit criteria that are upfront about minimum qualifications for grant funding. Trish Cypher expressed reservations about using taxpayer dollars to build community. Pragati Grover, Planning Commissioner, proposed that the City Council consider the number of people who benefit from an event and encourage different groups to propose new events. No one else requested to speak. Mayor Lo summarized Council consensus thus far, stating that Council has no desire to change the criteria. She asked again if there was any interest in making free events a priority. Council Member Cappello stated he did not want to include free events as a priority for the program. Council Member Page said that he did not think free events should be a priority. COUNCIL DIRECTION: The City Council directed staff to keep the existing Community Event Grant Program criteria and priorities and add a question to the application that asks applicants to explain how the proposed event builds community. No change was made to the total amount of funding for the program. 7 218 3. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WORK PLAN Annexation of 207 Acres around Glen Una Drive: Community Development Director James Lindsay introduced the item and provided a report. He explained that first item on the proposed Community Development Department work plan is the LAFCO requested annexation of the Glen Una area. He reviewed requirements and the public process for annexation. He also explained that it would cost approximately $15,000 to further study the annexation. Council Member Hunter shared that residents in the Glen Una area have expressed to her an interest in being annexed by the City of Saratoga. Council Member Cappello raised concerns about the risks associated with taking over responsibility for roadways in the area. Council Member Hunter also voiced concerns about flooding in the area. Community Development Director James Lindsay said that these concerns could be evaluated in the study of the annexation. Mayor Lo invited public comment on this item. The following person requested to speak: Trish Cypher raised concerns about the impact of the annexation on the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. No one else requested to speak. Council Member Hunter said she would support spending $15,000 to study the annexation. Vice Mayor Miller noted that it would be beneficial to survey residents prior to entering into annexation proceedings. He also wondered if the timeline for study could be advanced. Community Development Director James Lindsay said that prior to initiating the annexation, the City would survey residents for their interest in becoming part of the City of Saratoga. Additionally, the study could be done this Fiscal Year through a mid -year budget adjustment. Vice Mayor Miller asked that the report on the condition of the roads in the proposed annexation area be brought before the City Council for consideration before outreach to the neighbors is conducted. Council Member Cappello requested that the report include other potential risks, in addition to the roads. 219 COUNCIL DIRECTION: Council directed staff to include $15,000 for the annexation study in the Mid -Year Budget Adjustments and return with to Council in May with an assessment of roadway conditions and risks. Housing Element Update: Community Development Director James Lindsay then proceeded to a discussion on the Housing Element update. He provided an overview of outreach efforts for the Housing Element Update, including public meetings scheduled for February 25, 2014 and March 11, 2014. The draft Housing Element is expected to be available to the public in June and the Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled to make a recommendation on the Housing Element to the City Council in July 2014. He then explained some of the strategies that could be used to reach the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation for the City of Saratoga. Mayor Lo invited public comment on the item. The following people requested to speak: Trish Cypher discussed concerns about RHNA allocations and urged the Council to reach out to legislators in the State to change rules associated with RHNA allocations. Joyce Hlava, Chair of the Planning Commission, spoke on behalf of the Planning Commission and described the approach that the Planning Commission is planning to take with the Housing Element. She explained that the Commission wants to take an open approach and will be considering a wide array of possibilities with the goal of completing the Housing Element by November 2014. No one else requested to speak. COUNCIL DIRECTION: Council directed staff to proceed with the Housing Element as planned. Annual City Code Updates: The City Council then opened discussion on the Annual Code Updates. Community Development Director James Lindsay explained that staff is proposing to bring forward updates to three sections of the City Code through the Annual Code Updates, in addition to the various clarifications and minor changes typically addressed through the Annual Code Updates. The three areas that staff is proposing to update as part of the Annual Code Updates include Article 7 -20 Animals and Fowl, Chapter 4 Business Regulations, and Article 6 -10 Alarm Systems. Council Member Page inquired about the rotation of General Plan element updates. 0 220 City Attorney Richard Taylor noted that the next element in line for an update would be the Land Use Element, which will be the oldest element after adoption of the Housing Element is complete. COUNCIL DIRECTION: Council directed staff to proceed with the Annual Code Updates as presented. Planning Commission Work Plan Recommendations: Community Development Director James Lindsay then explained that there are other items that the Planning Commission requested to include in the work plan. Planning Commission Chair Joyce Hlava addressed the City Council, providing an overview of the items that the Planning Commission would like included in the work plan. This included revisiting C -V and C -N setbacks and height regulations. She explained that it might be best to add this to the work plan after 2014. Council Member Miller commented upon the opposition some residents expressed to the Planning Commission's proposed changes to height and setback regulations in the C -V and C -N zones, adding he felt that the current regulations have worked thus far and could remain for another few years. Council Member Cappello agreed that the C -V and C -N setbacks and height regulations might be an issue to revisit in a year or two. Planning Commissioner Mary -Lynne Bernald asked if it might be appropriate to review landscape buffer requirements this year. City Manager Dave Anderson stated that setbacks, including landscape buffers, should be discussed alongside height regulations. The City Council concurred to keep the Community Development Work Plan as presented and defer revisiting C -V and C -N setbacks and height regulations. 4. MID -YEAR BUDGET & 5 -YEAR FORECAST Finance and Administrative Services Director Mary Furey introduced the item, providing a year -end review for Fiscal Year 2012/13. She then provided a status update on the Fiscal Year 2013/14 budget. She explained that property tax revenues are increasing. Construction tax fees appear to be increasing somewhat. Sales tax revenues remain about the same as last year, as are business license tax fees and development fees. Revenues from Franchise Fees are unclear at this point. Transient occupancy taxes have been projected conservatively, but showed improvement in the last fiscal year budget. Recreation fees appear to be consistent, while interest income remains very low. In terms of expenditures, salary and benefits are about the same as last year. Operating expenditures are projected to increase due primarily 10 221 to increases in material expenses and contractor and consultant services. There are some increases in public safety, grants, and internal service funds as well. Finance and Administrative Services Director Mary Furey then presented the proposed mid- year budget adjustments. The adjustments will go to City Council on March 5, 2014 for approval. The proposed adjustments included increasing general fund revenues for secured property tax, property tax -in -lieu, building permit fees, building plan check fees, and Sheriff's Office reimbursements. Additionally, proposed revenue adjustments included increasing the Workers Compensation Fund for a Wellness Grant and Risk Management Fund for a claim reimbursement. Proposed expenditures adjustments included increases to records management /document scanning, Glen Una annexation study funding, park repairs, and an increase to Saratoga Village Sidewalk Rehabilitation in the capital budget. Finance and Administrative Services Director Mary Furey presented the 5 -year forecast. She explained the assumptions used to formulate the forecast and some of the projections. One of the impacts on the City budget will be funding for Ca1PERS. The forecast is not a prediction of future conditions, but rather a best guess based on current conditions. Mayor Lo invited public comment on the item. The following person requested to speak: Trish Cypher No one else requested to speak. COUNCIL DIRECTION: Council directed staff to present the mid -year budget adjustments at the March 5, 2014 City Council Meeting for review and approval. 5. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Capital Improvement Plan Process Policy & Unfunded Capital Projects: Finance and Administrative Services Director Mary Furey provided an overview of the Capital Improvement Plan Process Policy. This policy was first used in preparation of the Capital Budget last year. The policy guides how the City Council and staff initiate development of a capital project, how a project is added to the capital improvement plan, and how projects are funded. She then reviewed available capital funding for Fiscal Year 2014/15, then provided an update on the current Fiscal Year 2013/14 capital projects and answered Council questions about capital projects. Finance and Administrative Services Director Mary Furey presented proposed changes to currently funded capital improvement plan projects. This included changes in project scope or funding. These projects included the El Quito Curb and Gutter project (increase by $150,000), Annual Park and Trail Repairs (increase by $25,000), Hakone Master Plan 11 222 (change in scope), Electronic Door & Lock System (increase by $45,000), and Document Imaging (change in scope). Finance and Administrative Services Director Mary Furey showed the City Council the list of unfunded capital improvement plan projects. Council has approved adding these projects to the capital improvement plan, but has not allocated funds to these projects. Vice Mayor Miller stated that he is in favor of funding the Saratoga Creek Trail project at $50,000 from park -in -lieu fees, fund the Cool Roofs project, remove the Heritage Orchard Monument Sign from the capital improvement plan, and leave the remaining items on the unfunded list. Council Member Cappello said that he is in favor of funding the Saratoga Creek Trail project at $50,000 from park -in -lieu fees and the Cool Roofs project. Council Member Hunter shared that she would like the Big Basin Way Turn Around and Heritage Orchard Monument Sign removed from the unfunded list. Council Member Page agreed with the consensus to remove the Heritage Orchard Monument Sign from the unfunded list, but suggested that the Council fund a study at $50,000 to assess the feasibility of adding a turnaround at the end of the Village on Big Basin Way. He also said that he supported funding the Saratoga Creek Trail project at $50,000 from park -in -lieu fees and the Cool Roofs project. Mayor Lo proposed funding the Quito Road Sidewalk Improvements, the Saratoga Creek Trail project at $50,000 from park -in -lieu fees, and the Cool Roofs project. She suggested that the other items remain on the unfunded list. Council Member Hunter suggested that the study of the turnaround also include analysis on the feasibility of adding parking in the end of Big Basin Way where the turnaround is proposed to be located. Mayor Lo invited public comment on the item. The following person requested to speak: Trish Cypher No one else requested to speak. COUNCIL DIRECTION: Council directed staff to remove the Heritage Orchard Monument Sign from the unfunded capital improvement list, fund a feasibility study in the amount of $50,000 of a turnaround and parking at the end of Big Basin Way in the Village, fund the Saratoga Creek Trail project at $50,000 from park -in -lieu fees, the Cool Roofs project, and keep the remaining unfunded projects on the unfunded list. 12 223 Candidate Capital Improvement Projects: Finance and Administrative Services Director Mary Furey then introduced the candidate capital improvement plan projects. Vice Mayor Miller clarified that the Quarry Park Right- of- Way/Property Acquisition Project, which he nominated, is for acquisition of easements and real property. The City Council discussed options for reducing the scale of the Theater Improvements project. Council Member Page stated that he felt it is very important to improve safety of accessing the control booths. Staff addressed Council questions regarding the candidate projects. Vice Mayor Miller commented that staff should consider requiring property owners to install driveways, curbs, and gutters that conform to the street in areas where streets have been built without a proper drainage system. Community Development Director James Lindsay said that staff could look into this option when identifying changes for the Annual Code Updates.

REPORT SUMMARY: After a financial turnaround in the housing market, the FY 2012/13 year end finished with higher than anticipated General Fund revenues and with indications that property tax and development revenues would continue their upwardly mobile trend into the next year and near future. DataQuick, a leading property data firm, provided recent information supporting this strengthening market trend analysis in Santa Clara County for the year ended December 2013. Their data shows Santa Clara County home prices increased 13.21 %, and foreclosures declined by 58.11% for the year. However, information also shows home sales have begun to slow and they warn the rapid "pace of home price growth was not sustainable, given the fairly weak underlying economic drivers." In fact, their data shows December homes sales fell to a six year low: "A total of 6,714 new and resale houses and condos sold in the nine - county Bay Area last month. That was the lowest for any December since 2007, when 5,065 homes sold." On the positive side, DataQuick information states 332 homes sold for over $1 million dollars in Saratoga during 2013, with the most expensive home selling for $12.3 million. Overall, this market recovery has added to the property tax base, provided additional supplemental tax, document transfer tax and property tax -in -lieu revenues, and triggered the reinstatement of previously reduced assessed values. Rising market values have also prompted an uptick in home tear -down and rebuild activity, thereby boosting development revenues. Together, these changes will result in higher than anticipated General Fund Revenue for FY 2013 /14, leading again to an improved financial position for the City at mid -year. The remaining funds, such as the Landscape and Lighting District Funds, Internal Service Funds, and the Capital Project Funds operate within restricted financial resources, therefore financial activity is more structured and workload does not fluctuate widely due to changes in the economy. These other Fund's revenues and expenditures are determined at budget adoption, are more limited in nature, and as a result, financial activity generally follows along a planned path. Budget adjustments occur occasionally, most often from unknown factors at the time budget is prepared and adopted. As a result, the mid -year budget update report is primarily focused on General Fund activity. 230 GENERAL FUND With the advantage of closing last year's books and being mid -way into this budgeted fiscal year, it has become evident that a number of FY 2013/14 revenues will end the year higher than budgeted. For next year's budget planning purposes, staff recommends adjusting the current year's revenue appropriations to more accurately reflect the anticipated revenues, prior to beginning the next budget development cycle. In addition, staff requests a number of budgeted expenditure appropriations be approved to provide for unfunded workload, equipment, and service costs. Revenue Budget Adjustments In FY 2012/13, total Property Tax revenue grew by $508,568 (6.14 %), (with the exclusion of a one -time Property Tax Administrative Fee reimbursement) and Planning and Building fees grew by $301,712 (14.94 %) from the year before. This growth exceeded year -end budget expectations, and as a result, FY 2013/14 budgeted revenues were estimated too low. In addition, continued economic strengthening during the current year has resulted in further increases. Property Tax — Last year's closing numbers revealed total General Fund Property Tax revenue came in more than $500,000 over budget, even after adjusting budgeted revenues at mid -year. This fiscal year, Secured Property Tax revenue is again tracking higher than adopted in the budget, by approximately $350,000. Property Tax -In -Lieu is also tracking higher, with $155,000 expected over budget. Increasing budget appropriations for these two property tax revenues will account for the majority of the General Fund's anticipated additional property tax revenue and align budget with anticipated receipts. Building Fees — The Community Development Department has seen a rise in development activity levels over this fiscal year. While a number of development revenues may exceed budget by a small amount at year -end, only the Plan Check and Building Permit revenues are anticipated to be significantly above budget. A revenue budget increase of $50,000 is requested for Plan Check Fees, and a budget increase of $80,000 is requested for Building Permit Fees. Sheriff Contract Reimbursement - During the 2012/13 fiscal year, the Sheriff's Office was able to minimize the City's share of operating costs. As a result, after the year closed, the City was reimbursed $41,533 of the $4.15 million estimated contract. As the amount of the annual reimbursement cannot be anticipated during budget development (or even if one will occur), an adjustment to increase General Fund revenue budget in the full amount is typically requested at mid -year. Hakone Gardens Claim Reimbursement - The City received a $156,884 claim reimbursement from the Association of Bay Area Government (ABAG) Insurance JPA for the December 2012 damage to the Hakone Gardens Driveway Entrance. As the claim reimbursement was not anticipated at the time the FY 2013/14 budget was prepared, a budget adjustment is requested to appropriate the additional revenue. The reimbursement funding will be returned to the General Fund Hillside Stability Reserve Fund as part of the year -end close. General Fund Revenue Adjustments Adopted Proposed Adjusted ProposedRevenue Budget Adjustments Budget Increase Budget Secured Property Taxes 5,300,000 350,000 5,650,000 Property Tax-in-Lieu 2,650,000 155,000 2,805,000 Building Permit Fees 900,000 80,000 980,000 Building Plan Check Fees 360,000 50,000 410,000 Sheriff Reimbursement - 41,533 41,533 Hakone Gardens Claim Reimbursement - 156,884 156,884 Total Proposed Revenue Budget Adjustments 833,417 231 Expenditure Budget Aduustments On the General Fund expenditure side, the majority of expenditures are tracking in line with the budget, although a few expenses are expected to exceed budget by year -end due to either unforeseen needs, or increases in services. These adjustments are small; however due to the reductions in budget over the past recession years, very little flexibility is available to absorb the added costs in programs within the operating budget. Hence, a total of $39,000 is requested to increase five operating expenses as follows: CDD: Records Management — The increase in building activity is directly resulting in an increase in records management expense. All current building documents are sent out to be converted to digital format on an ongoing basis and funded within the Operating Budget. The adopted budget of $10,000 will not be sufficient to accommodate the increase in activity therefore an expenditure budget increase of $5,000 is requested. Historical documents and microfilm are converted as part of the Records Management Capital Project, and are not paid for out of the CDD Operating Budget. CDD: Annexation Workplan Funding — The potential annexation of the STG -05 area (Glen Una) into Saratoga has generated the unanticipated need to obtain survey work and a roadway assessment to determine the condition of the area's roadway system. A $15,000 budget adjustment is requested for this work. Engineering: Record of Survey at Historic Park — A $5,000 budget adjustment is requested to establish and install property line monuments at Historic Park, and for a Record of Survey to be prepared and recorded with the County. Parks: Repairs and Maintenance — Congress Springs Park is requiring some costly semi- emergency repairs this year which will impact the operating repair budget. Approximately $3,000 was spent for security cameras after the snack shack break -in and theft. Another $4,500 will be spent on a replacement scoreboard which has been out of service for over a season now. A total budget adjustment of $7,500 is requested to fund the unplanned equipment costs. Parks: Tree Pruning/Maintenance — Due to higher than expected fire danger this year, staff would like to clean up the lot next to the Historical Park this spring, before the fire danger escalates further. Work would include pruning the eucalyptus and oak trees, and removal of brush and weed debris. Pruning will cost approximately $4,000 and debris removal will cost approximately $2,500. A total budget adjustment of $6,500 is requested for this work. General Fund Expenditure Adjustments Adopted Proposed Adjusted Proposed Ekpenditure Budget Adjustments Budget Increase Budget CDD: Records Management 10,000 5,000 15,000 CDD: Annexation Workplan Funding - 15,000 15,000 Engineering: Record of Survey Historic Park - 5,000 5,000 Parks: Repairs and Maintenance 57,000 7,500 64,500 Parks: Tree Pruning Maintenance 30,000 6,500 36,500 Total Proposed EKpenditure Budget Adjustments 39,000 General Fund Net Operations The Adopted General Fund Budget includes a net operations surplus of $237,676 (total funding sources less total funding uses), which by itself is sufficient to fund the above proposed expenditure budget increases. Adopting the proposed revenue budget adjustments would further increase the net operations surplus. In total, if Council adopts all of the General Fund's proposed revenue and expenditure budget adjustments, the budgeted net operations surplus would increase by $794,417, bringing the total budgeted General Fund surplus to $1,032,093. 232 WORKERS COMPENSATION FUND ABAG Wellness Grant — The Association of Bay Area Government (ABAG) Insurance JPA provides grants to its member agencies for the purpose of promoting employee wellness. Agencies are allowed to carry any unexpended grant funds to the next year. The City's $15,000 grant for FY 2012/13 was not used, therefore both revenue and expenditure budget adjustments are requested to appropriate the grant funding and expense for use in FY 2013/14. Workers Compensation Fund Adjustments Adopted ProposedBudget Adjustments Budget Proposed Increase Adjusted Budget Wellness Grant Revenue - 15,000 15,000 Wellness Grant Expenditure - 15,000 15,000 Total Proposed Budget Adjustments 30,000 20,990 CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS Big Basin Way Grant Match — A $163,000 STP OBAG grant was awarded to the City for FY 2013/14 to repair and replace sidewalk, curb, and gutter on an as- needed basis along Big Basin Way to reduce tripping hazards and beautify the village. At the time the CIP project budget was adopted, staff understood the project to be fully funded by the grant. Later information identified a City match of $20,990 was required. A budget resolution to fund the City match with Gas Tax Funds is requested. The Budget Adjustment Schedule below summarizes the funding requirements: Gas Tax CIP Project Fund Adjustment Adopted Proposed Budget Adjustments Budget Proposed Incr (Deer) Adjusted Budget Annual Street Resurfacing - Gras Tax Revenue 481,908 (20,990) 460,918 Big Basin Way SWCG CIP -Gas Tax Revenue - 20,990 20,990 Big Basin Way SWCGCIP -Gas Tax Expenditures - 20,990 20,990 Total Net Proposed Budget Adjustments 20,990 FISCAL IMPACTS: Upon Council approval, the proposed revenue and expenditure budget appropriations will be amended.
