Code 54954.2, the agenda for this meeting was properly posted on February 23, 2012. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ON NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS None COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF 1. Strategic Plan Study Session Recommended Action: Accept report and direct staff accordingly. City Manager Dave Anderson shared that the purpose of tonight’s study session is to define the Council goals and achieve Council consensus on the goals and their definitions. City Manager Dave Anderson then invited the Council to share their suggestions to the goals and their definitions. Council Member Emily Lo asked if the Council should also prepare a mission statement. The Council discussed the need for a mission statement, previous efforts to define a mission statement for the City, and possible language for a mission statement. Possible language included: 10 2 - To uphold and enhance quality of life in Saratoga - To protect and enhance quality of life in Saratoga Vice Mayor Jill Hunter indicated that a mission statement had been prepared several years ago and asked staff to check City records to see if the mission statement could be found. The Council agreed to place discussion on the mission statement on hold and discuss at a future meeting, if necessary. Council Member Manny Cappello proposed addition of a goal that reflects the City’s efforts to respond to, adapt to, and take advantage of new technologies. The Council decided to table discussion on the addition of a technology related goal until the end of the meeting to determine if the importance of technology is reflected in the objectives of other goals. GOOD GOVERNANCE Council Member Miller expressed concern about using the term “Good Governance” for one of the City goals, as it implies that the City’s governance is not good and the City is striving towards good governance. Mayor Chuck Page proposed that the goal be modified to reflect the importance of the City Council’s leadership role in the community and City government. Council Member Emily Lo proposed the following language for the goal definition: “responsible, trustworthy government dedicated to delivering effective, high quality services to the community.” The Council discussed the verbiage of the definition proposed by Council Member Emily Lo and the definition provided by staff and the title of the goal. COUNCIL DIRECTION The Council agreed to rename the goal as “City Leadership” and defined it as to “provide a proactive, responsible, responsible, inclusive, respectful, transparent, and trustworthy government dedicated to delivering effective high quality leadership for the community.” FISCAL STEWARDSHIP Vice Mayor Hunter advocated adding public education on the City’s budget and finances to the definition for Fiscal Stewardship or as one of the objectives for the goal. Council Member Howard Miller distinguished between meeting the legal requirements associated with government finance and proactively seeking ways to improve the City’s finances. Council Member Miller suggested that the definition 11 3 of the Fiscal Stewardship goal reflect the City’s efforts to be proactive in improving the state of the City’s budget and finances. Council Member Lo suggested the following definition for Fiscal Stewardship: “ensure fiscal responsibility to maintain and strengthen fiscal health and stability.” Mayor Chuck Page indicated that the definition or objectives for Fiscal Stewardship should include references to the City’s reserve policies and economic development efforts. The Council discussed Council Member Miller’s proposal to include language in the Fiscal Stewardship definition that reflects the City’s efforts to proactively improve the City’s financial status. COUNCIL DIRECTION The Council agreed upon the following language for Fiscal Stewardship: “ensure fiscal responsibility and transparency, proactively seeking opportunities for improvement.” PUBLIC SAFETY The Council discussed the definition provided by staff and agreed to keep the existing definition. FACILITY & INFRASTRUCTURE Council Member Miller expressed concerns about the lack of a replacement plan for City facilities and suggested that the objectives for the Facility & Infrastructure goal provide for the eventual replacement of City facilities. Council discussed the definition proposed by staff and agreed to leave it as is. COMMUNITY PRESERVATION Mayor Page indicated he disliked use of the word “preservation,” because it is frequently interpreted too literally. Council Member Cappello suggested that the word “respect” could be used as an alternative to “preserve” in the definition of the goal. The Council discussed the definition of “preserve” and whether it was an appropriate word to use as part of the goal name or definition. Council Member Lo suggested that the word “preservation” be used in reference to the character of the City, rather than the physical aspects of the City. Council Member Miller felt that the word “preservation” is too restrictive. 12 4 Vice Mayor Hunter advocated for keeping the word “preservation” in the definition in some fashion. Council Member Cappello proposed that the word “preserve” be used in relation to preservation of historical assets. Council Member Miller expressed that it is important to honor and respect the City’s heritage. Council Member Lo said she felt that while honoring and respecting the City’s heritage, the definition of the goal should use stronger language to reflect the need to maintain the City’s character. Council Member Miller agreed that it is important to capture the desire to preserve neighborhood character and community feel. Vice Mayor Hunter requested that the Heritage Tree Program be added to the list of the goal’s objectives. COUNCIL DIRECTION Revise the title of the goal to “Community Heritage” and change the language of the goal definition to “honor and respect Saratoga’s heritage; preserve significant historical assets and small town character.” Council also directed staff to add “Maintain Heritage Tree Program” as an objective and reflect the Hillside Reserve Policy as an objective or a strategy. COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT Vice Mayor Hunter suggested that historical and cultural assets, like Hakone Gardens and Montalvo, be emphasized under the objectives for this goal. Promoting and supporting local cultural facilities, assets, and events could be listed as a strategy under the objective, “Engaged and Vibrant Community.” Council Member Miller proposed that Improvement of the Congress Springs Quarry Property be listed as an objective under the Community Enrichment goal. Council agreed to keep the definition of Community Enrichment provided by staff. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Council discussed the definition of Environmental Sustainability and agreed to use the definition proposed by staff. 13 5 [At this time, Council returned to discussion on Council Member Cappello’s proposal to include Technology as a separate goal and other additions to the Strategic Plan.] Council Member Miller expressed concern with Technology as a goal, as it overlaps with other goals already listed. However, if Technology is added as a separate goal, the definition might be worded as “apply new technology for the betterment of the community.” Mayor Page added that “support community demand for data access” could be listed as an objective. Council Member Lo said she preferred the language “support community demand for technology needs” as an objective. Council Member Miller also suggested the following objectives: - Use technology to improve City efficiency - Employ new building standards and technology to improve building efficiency - Implement technology that allows the City monitor and manage traffic in the Saratoga in real time - Reduce waste through a zero waste plan - Implement license plate readers on Sheriff’s Office vehicles in Saratoga City Manager Dave Anderson suggested that Technology include real time Village parking status information for mobile devices as and making City operations paperless as objectives. Council Member Lo asked if the strategic plan reflected the City’s interest in upholding services not provided by the City, such as waste water treatment or sewage. Mayor Page said he did not feel that it was necessary to add this as a goal, since the City does not have responsibility for these outside services. However, the members of the City Council may choose to serve as an advocate for residents when they are struggling with outside service providers. Council Member Cappello suggested that providing a business friendly environment should be listed as an objective under Community Enrichment, even though it is listed as an objective under Fiscal Stewardship. Council discussed follow up actions to the study session. COUNCIL DIRECTION 14 6 Include “foster a business friendly environment” within the Engaged and Vibrant Community objective listed under the goal Community Enrichment. Schedule another study session for Council to review the strategic plan materials.

The ger as ty all Funds t from 14 on at: for not be 51,635 33 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. Fund Balances 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 external enforceable legal restrictions; “committed fund balance”, resources whose use is constrained by limitations that the government imposes upon itself at its highest level of decision making and remain 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.

BACKGROUND: When Proposition 13 passed in 1978, it decreased property taxes by assessing property taxes at their 1975 levels and restricted annual increases of assessed value of real property to an inflation factor, not to exceed 2% per year. As a result, cities with no or low property tax rates were locked-in at rates far below the average property tax rate for other cities. AB 8 backfilled the worst effects of Proposition 13 for local governments, including a provision to bring all “no-low tax” cities share of the property tax up to 7%. Subsequent legislation sponsored by Senator Vasconcellos reduced the share of the AB 8 property tax distribution for the cities of Saratoga, Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, and Monte Sereno. Due to the passage of AB 117 sponsored by Assembly Member Rebecca Cohn in 2006, the City received a portion of its TEA allocation. In December 2010, new TEA legislation (Assembly Bill 68) was introduced by Assembly Member Jim Beall in an effort to garner the remaining allocation. The legislation was placed in a suspense file and made into a 2 year bill and died in early 2012. A new bill, AB 1816, was introduced by Assembly Member Jim Beall, Jr. If adopted, AB 1816 would modify property tax allocations by treating Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, Saratoga and Monte Sereno like all other “no-low tax” cities in the State. FISCAL IMPACTS: The resolution in support of AB 1816 would not have fiscal impacts on the City. However, if adopted and signed by the Governor, AB 1816 would restore Saratoga’s full Tax Equity Allocation (TEA). 40 Page 2 of 2 CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The resolution in support of AB 1816 will not be approved. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Implement Council direction.

Prop. 13 created significant problems for cities with low property tax rates at the time. These cities could not raise property tax rates to meet their community needs. Property tax share was frozen by the Legislature in the distribution formula from AB 8, passed in 1979. In Santa Clara County, four cities were significantly below the average tax rate: Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, Saratoga and Monte Sereno. In 1987 legislation was passed to correct this situation, giving cities what is referred to as Tax Equity Allocation (TEA). The tax equity allocation for these four cities was .07. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, these four cities did not receive their full share of TEA funds. PROBLEM Subsequent legislation by Assembly Member Vasconcellos, changed the four Santa Clara cities’ ERAF from .07 down to .04 share. During the ERAF shifts these cities lost their proportionate share based on what they received in property tax at that time. The shift was only in the 2nd year of the TEA Formula. All No & Low cities received future growth for the next 5 years and an increase of 5 % share with no ERAF deduction, with an exception for the four cities in Santa Clara County. BILL DESCRIPTION AB 1816 is sponsored by the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Hills, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga. They claim that while AB 117 (Chapter 342, Statutes of 2006) made significant improvements, the four cities are still being treated inequitably in that no other cities are subject to the same ERAF diversions. AB 1816 will finally resolve three decades of inequality for these four cities by treating them like every other city in the state. PRIOR RELEVANT OR SIMILAR LEGISLATION AB 8, L.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1816, as introduced, Beall. Tax equity allocation formula: County of Santa Clara. Existing property tax law requires the county auditor, in each fiscal year, to allocate property tax revenue to local jurisdictions in accordance with specified formulas and procedures, and generally requires that each jurisdiction be allocated an amount equal to the total of the amount of revenue allocated to that jurisdiction in the prior fiscal year, subject to certain modifications, and that jurisdiction's portion of the annual tax increment, as defined. Existing property tax law also reduces the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue that would otherwise be annually allocated to the county, cities, and special districts pursuant to these general allocation requirements by requiring, for purposes of determining property tax revenue allocations in each county for the 1992-93 and 1993-94 fiscal years, that the amounts of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to the county, cities, and special districts be reduced in accordance with certain formulas. It requires that the revenues not allocated to the county, cities, and special districts as a result of these reductions be transferred to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) in that county for allocation to school districts, community college districts, and the county office of education. Existing property tax law requires the auditor of each county with qualifying cities, as defined, to make certain property tax revenue allocations to those cities in accordance with a specified Tax Equity Allocation (TEA) formula established in a specified statute and to make corresponding reductions in the amount of property tax revenue that is allocated to the county. Existing law requires the auditor of Santa Clara County, for the 2006-07 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, to reduce the amount of property tax revenue allocated to qualified cities in that county by the ERAF reimbursement amount, as defined, and to commensurately increase the amount of property tax revenue allocated to the county ERAF, as specified. This bill would, instead, for the 2013-14 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, require the auditor of Santa Clara County to reduce the amount of property tax revenues that are required to be allocated from the qualified cities in that county to the county ERAF by a specified percentage of the ERAF reimbursement amount. This bill would prohibit the auditor of Santa Clara County from reducing the amounts allocated to the county ERAF in any fiscal year in which the amount of moneys required to be applied by the state for the 44 support of school districts and community college districts is determined pursuant to Test 1 of Proposition 98. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute. By imposing new duties in the allocation of ad valorem property tax revenues in the County of Santa Clara, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 98 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended to read: 98. (a) In each county, other than the County of Ventura, having within its boundaries a qualifying city, the computations made pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section, for the 1989-90 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, shall be modified as follows: With respect to tax rate areas within the boundaries of a qualifying city, there shall be excluded from the aggregate amount of "property tax revenue allocated pursuant to this chapter to local agencies, other than for a qualifying city, in the prior fiscal year," an amount equal to the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to the TEA formula. (b) (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, each qualifying city shall, for the 1989-90 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, be allocated by the auditor an amount determined pursuant to the TEA formula. (2) For each qualifying city, the auditor shall, for the 1989-90 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, allocate the amount determined pursuant to the TEA formula to all tax rate areas within that city in proportion to each tax rate area's share of the total assessed value in the city for the applicable fiscal year, and the amount so determined shall be subtracted from the county's proportionate share of property tax revenue for that fiscal year within those tax rate areas. (3) After making the allocations pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), but before making the calculations pursuant to Section 96.5 or its predecessor section, the auditor shall, for all tax rate areas in the qualifying city, calculate the proportionate share of property tax revenue allocated pursuant to this section and Section 96.1, or their predecessor sections, in the 1989-90 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter to each jurisdiction in the tax rate area. (4) In lieu of making the allocations of annual tax increment pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 96.5 or its predecessor section, the auditor shall, for the 1989-90 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, allocate the amount of property tax revenue 45 determined pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 96.5 or its predecessor section to jurisdictions in the tax rate area using the proportionate shares derived pursuant to paragraph (3). (5) For purposes of the calculations made pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section, in the 1990-91 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the amounts that would have been allocated to qualifying cities pursuant to this subdivision shall be deemed to be the "amount of property tax revenue allocated in the prior fiscal year." (c) "TEA formula" means the Tax Equity Allocation formula, and shall be calculated by the auditor for each qualifying city as follows: (1) For the 1988-89 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the auditor shall determine the total amount of property tax revenue to be allocated to all jurisdictions in all tax rate areas within the qualifying city, before the allocation and payment of funds in that fiscal year to a community redevelopment agency within the qualifying city, as provided in subdivision (b) of Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code. (2) The auditor shall determine the total amount of funds allocated in each fiscal year to a community redevelopment agency in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code. (3) The auditor shall determine the total amount of funds paid in each fiscal year by a community redevelopment agency within the city to jurisdictions other than the city pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33401 and Section 33676 of the Health and Safety Code, and the cost to the redevelopment agency of any land or facilities transferred and any amounts paid to jurisdictions other than the city to assist in the construction or reconstruction of facilities pursuant to an agreement entered into under Section 33401 or 33445.5 of the Health and Safety Code. (4) The auditor shall subtract the amount determined in paragraph (3) from the amount determined in paragraph (2). (5) The auditor shall subtract the amount determined in paragraph (4) from the amount determined in paragraph (1). (6) The amount computed in paragraph (5) shall be multiplied by the following percentages in order to determine the TEA formula amount to be distributed to the qualifying city in each fiscal year: (A) For the first fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 1 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5). (B) For the second fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 2 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5). (C) For the third fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 3 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5). (D) For the fourth fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 4 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5). (E) For the fifth fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 5 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5). (F) For the sixth fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 6 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5). 46 (G) For the seventh fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter in which the city receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 7 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5). (d) "Qualifying city" means any city, except a qualifying city as defined in Section 98.1, that incorporated prior to June 5, 1987, and had an amount of property tax revenue allocated to it pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 96.1 or its predecessor section in the 1988-89 fiscal year that is less than 7 percent of the amount of property tax revenue computed as follows: (1) The auditor shall determine the total amount of property tax revenue allocated to the city in the 1988-89 fiscal year. (2) The auditor shall subtract the amount in the 1988-89 fiscal year determined in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) from the amount determined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c). (3) The auditor shall subtract the amount determined in paragraph (2) from the amount of property tax revenue determined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c). (4) The auditor shall divide the amount of property tax revenue determined in paragraph (1) of this subdivision by the amount of property tax revenue determined in paragraph (3) of this subdivision. (5) If the quotient determined in paragraph (4) of this subdivision is less than 0.07, the city is a qualifying city. If the quotient determined in that paragraph is equal to or greater than 0.07, the city is not a qualifying city. (e) The auditor may assess each qualifying city its proportional share of the actual costs of making the calculations required by this section, and may deduct that assessment from the amount allocated pursuant to subdivision (b). For purposes of this subdivision, a qualifying city's proportional share of the auditor's actual costs shall not exceed the proportion it receives of the total amounts excluded in the county pursuant to subdivision (a). (f) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), in any fiscal year in which a qualifying city is to receive a distribution pursuant to this section, the auditor shall reduce the actual amount distributed to the qualifying city by the sum of the following: (1) The amount of property tax revenue that was exchanged between the county and the qualifying city as a result of negotiation pursuant to Section 99.03. (2) (A) The amount of revenue not collected by the qualifying city in the first fiscal year following the city's reduction after January 1, 1988, of the tax rate or tax base of any locally imposed tax, except any tax that was imposed after January 1, 1988. In the case of a tax that existed before January 1, 1988, this clause shall apply only with respect to an amount attributable to a reduction of the rate or base to a level lower than the rate or base applicable on January 1, 1988. The amount so computed by the auditor shall constitute a reduction in the amount of property tax revenue distributed to the qualifying city pursuant to this section in each succeeding fiscal year. That amount shall be aggregated with any additional amount computed pursuant to this clause as the result of the city's reduction in any subsequent year of the tax rate or tax base of the same or any other locally imposed general or special tax. (B) No reduction may be made pursuant to subparagraph (A) in the case in which a local tax is reduced or eliminated as a result of either a court decision or the approval or rejection of a ballot 47 measure by the voters. (3) The amount of property tax revenue received pursuant to this chapter in excess of the amount allocated for the 1986-87 fiscal year by all special districts that are governed by the city council of the qualifying city or whose governing body is the same as the city council of the qualifying city with respect to all tax rate areas within the boundaries of the qualifying city. Notwithstanding this paragraph: (A) Commencing with the 1994-95 fiscal year, the auditor shall not reduce the amount distributed to a qualifying city under this section by reason of that city becoming the successor agency to a special district, that is dissolved, merged with that city, or becomes a subsidiary district of that city, on or after July 1, 1994. (B) Commencing with the 1997-98 fiscal year, the auditor shall not reduce the amount distributed to a qualifying city under this section by reason of that city withdrawing from a county free library system pursuant to Section 19116 of the Education Code. (4) Any amount of property tax revenues that has been exchanged pursuant to Section 56842 of the Government Code , as that section read on January 1, 1998, between the City of Rancho Mirage and a community services district, the formation of which was initiated on or after March 6, 1997, pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 56800) of Part 3 of Division 3 of Title 5 of the Government Code. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, in no event may the auditor reduce the amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise allocated to a qualifying city pursuant to this section on the basis of any additional ad valorem property tax revenues received by that city pursuant to a services for revenue agreement. For purposes of this subdivision, a "services for revenue agreement" means any agreement between a qualifying city and the county in which it is located, entered into by joint resolution of that city and that county, under which additional service responsibilities are exchanged in consideration for additional property tax revenues. (h) In any fiscal year in which a qualifying city is to receive a distribution pursuant to this section, the auditor shall increase the actual amount distributed to the qualifying city by the amount of property tax revenue allocated to the qualifying city pursuant to Section 19116 of the Education Code. (i) If the auditor determines that the amount to be distributed to a qualifying city pursuant to subdivision (b), as modified by subdivisions (e), (f), and (g) would result in a qualifying city having proceeds of taxes in excess of its appropriation limit, the auditor shall reduce the amount, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount that exceeds the city's appropriations limit. (j) The amount not distributed to the tax rate areas of a qualifying city as a result of this section shall be distributed by the auditor to the county. (k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no qualifying city shall be distributed an amount pursuant to this section that is less than the amount the city would have been allocated without the application of the TEA formula. ( l ) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the auditor shall not distribute any amount determined pursuant to this section to any qualifying city that has in the prior 48 fiscal year used any revenues or issued bonds for the construction, acquisition, or development, of any facility which is defined in Section 103(b)(4), 103(b)(5), or 103(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 prior to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (P.L. (Public Law 99-514) and is no longer eligible for tax-exempt financing. (m) (1) The amendments made to this section, and the repeal of Section 98.04, by the act that added this subdivision Chapter 342 of the Statutes of 2006 shall apply for the 2006-07 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter. (2) For the 2006-07 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, all of the following apply: (A) The auditor of the County of Santa Clara shall do both of the following: (i) Reduce the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be allocated to qualifying cities in that county by the ERAF reimbursement amount. This reduction for each qualifying city in the county for each fiscal year shall be the percentage share, of the total reduction required by this clause for all qualifying cities in the county for the 2006-07 fiscal year, that is equal to the proportion that the total amount of additional ad valorem property tax revenue that is required to be allocated to the qualifying city as a result of the act that added this subdivision bears to the total amount of additional ad valorem property tax revenue that is required to be allocated to all qualifying cities in the county as a result of the act that added this subdivision. (ii) Increase the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be allocated to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund by the ERAF reimbursement amount. (B) For purposes of this subdivision, "ERAF reimbursement amount" means an amount equal to the difference between the following two amounts: (i) The portion of the annual tax increment that would have been allocated from the county to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the applicable fiscal year if the act that added this subdivision had not been enacted. (ii) The portion of the annual tax increment that is allocated from the county to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the applicable fiscal year. (n) Notwithstanding subdivision (m) and except as provided in paragraph (2), for the 2013-14 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, all of the following shall apply: (1) The auditor of the County of Santa Clara shall do both of the following: (A) (i) Reduce the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be allocated to qualifying cities in that county by the percentage specified in clause (ii) of the ERAF reimbursement amount. This reduction for each qualifying city in the county for each fiscal year shall be the percentage share, of the total reduction required by this clause for all qualifying cities in the county for the 2013-14 fiscal year, that is equal to the proportion that the total amount of additional ad valorem property tax revenue that is required to be allocated to the qualifying city as a result of the act that added this subdivision bears to the total amount of additional ad valorem property tax revenue that is required to be allocated to all qualifying cities in the county as a result of the act that added this subdivision. 49 (ii) (I) For the first fiscal year in which qualifying cities receive an allocation pursuant to this subdivision, 80 percent. (II) For the second fiscal year in which qualifying cities receive an allocation pursuant to this subdivision, 60 percent. (III) For the third fiscal year in which qualifying cities receive an allocation pursuant to this subdivision, 40 percent. (IV) For the fourth fiscal year in which qualifying cities receive an allocation pursuant to this subdivision, 20 percent. (V) For the fifth fiscal year in which qualifying cities receive an allocation pursuant to this subdivision, and for each fiscal year thereafter in which a qualifying city receives an allocation pursuant to this subdivision, zero percent. (B) Increase the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be allocated to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund by the percentage specified in clause (ii) of subparagraph (A) of the ERAF reimbursement amount. (2) The auditor of the County of Santa Clara shall not adjust the ERAF reimbursement amount by the percentages specified in clause (ii) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) in any fiscal year in which the amount of moneys required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts is determined pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (3) For purposes of this subdivision, "ERAF reimbursement amount" has the same meaning as defined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (m). SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique fiscal pressures being experienced by qualifying cities, as defined in Section 98 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, in the County of Santa Clara. SEC. 3. If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. 50 Page 1 of 2 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 21, 2012 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Iveta Harvancik DIRECTOR: John Cherbone Senior Engineer SUBJECT: Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Approve Master Service and Subscription Agreement with Coulomb Technologies, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the same. 2. Approve ChargePoint America Station Award Agreement with Coulomb Technologies, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the same. 3. Approve Construction Agreement with REJ Electric Company to install the charging stations in the amount of $30,512.96 and additional $3,000 for unforeseen circumstances and authorize the City Manager to execute the same. REPORT SUMMARY: The City of Saratoga has been invited to participate in Coulomb Technologies ChargePoint America Program designed to provide electric vehicle (EV) charging station at no charge to cities. The program has been funded in part by the federal grant program administered by the Department of Energy as part of American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The City considered several locations for the charging stations and selected three locations that are available to the public and are in proximity to adequate electric power source. • 4 EV’s (two dual chargers) at City Hall 13777 Fruitvale Avenue • 1 EV charger in the Village Parking District No. 3 next to 14493 Big Basin Way (Turkey Track Lane) • 1 EV charger in the Village Parking District No. 3 behind 14413 Big Basin Way The number of charging stations at each location is limited by the existing power source. The two locations in the Village Parking District currently do not provide adequate power for additional chargers. To maximize the usage, four EV charging spots are proposed at the City Hall location, where the power source is sufficient. 51 Page 2 of 2 Additional chargers at the Village Parking District would require major upgrade of existing electrical panels. It will be possible to add more chargers after the upgrade in the future. To receive the charging stations at no charge, attached agreements with Coulomb Technologies need to be executed. The installation cost of the charging stations is not included in the awarded grant. REJ Electric Company, a certified installer for Coulomb Technology, Inc. would install all stations at the proposed locations. Attached is the Construction Agreement with REJ Electric Company in the amount of $30,512.96 for this work. Installation of charging stations in Saratoga will promote readiness of electric vehicle in Bay Area and help to reduce greenhouse gas production. It is recommended the City Council approve agreements with Coulomb Technologies, Inc. and with REJ Electric Company. FISCAL IMPACTS: Charging Stations will be provided to the City at no cost, the installation cost is included in the adopted CIP budget. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: One or all agreements will not be executed and the charging station will not be installed. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION: The agreements will be executed and the City will proceed with the project. 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 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. Charging Station Locations 2.

In no event shall any termination relieve Subscriber of any liability for the payment of Service Fees for any period prior to the termination date. 9. AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION. No modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and either signed or electronically accepted by the party against whom the amendment, modification or waiver is to be asserted. 10. WAIVER. The failure of either Party at any time to require performance by the other Party of any obligation hereunder will in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter. The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision hereof will not constitute a waiver of the provision itself. The failure of either Party to exercise any of its rights provided in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such rights. No waiver will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. Any such waiver will be effective only with respect to the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. 11. FORCE MAJEURE. Except with respect to payment obligations, neither CTI nor Subscriber will be liable for failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder due to causes beyond such party’s reasonable control and occurring without its fault or negligence (a “Force Majeure Event”).

Those provisions dealing with the Intellectual Property Rights of CTI, limitations of liability and disclaimers, restrictions of warranty, Applicable Law and those other provisions which by 61 Page 8 of 12 07-14-11 their nature or terms are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect as between the Parties hereto as contemplated hereby. 15. SEVERABILITY. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, if any term or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof to either Party will to any extent be determined jointly by the Parties or by any judicial, governmental or similar authority, to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to this Agreement, the Parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby. If, however such invalidity or unenforceability will, in the reasonable opinion of either Party cause this Agreement to fail of its intended purpose and the Parties cannot by mutual agreement amend this Agreement to cure such failure, either Party may terminate this Agreement for cause as provided herein above. 16. ASSIGNMENT. Subscriber may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of CTI (not to be unreasonably withheld). In the event of any purported assignment in breach of this Section 15, CTI shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice given to Subscriber. In the event of such a termination, Subscriber shall pay any unpaid Service Fees covering the remainder of the Service Term for any accepted Purchase Orders. In no event shall any termination relieve Subscriber of any liability for the payment of Service Fees or Session Processing Fees for any period prior to the termination date. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. CTI may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement. 17. NO AGENCY OR PARTNERSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. CTI, in the performance of this Agreement, is an independent contractor.

No partnership, joint venture or agency relationship is intended by CTI and Subscriber to be created by this Agreement. 18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels all previous and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, commitments, understandings, representations and writings. All purchase orders issued by Subscriber shall state that such purchase orders are subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and contain no other term other than the type of Subscription, the number of stations for which such Subscription is ordered, the term of such subscriptions and applicable subscription fees. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any purchase order, the Agreement shall prevail. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in any other documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such purported terms and conditions shall be null and void. 19.

In the event that Contractor's work is delayed for any reason, including acts of City, Contractor's sole remedy shall be an extension of time equal to the period of delay, provided Contractor has given City written notice of the commencement of delay within 48 hours of its occurrence. If the City accepts any work or makes any payment under this Agreement after a default by reason of delays, the payment or payments shall in no respect constitute a waiver or modification of any Agreement provisions regarding time of completion and liquidated damages. 77 Electrical Vehicles Charging Stations Construction Contract PW Short Form Construction Contract (<25k) Page 5 of 23 8.

Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim or lien against City for any additional compensation or damages in the event of such termination. C.

HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION. A.

The Administrator shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and the Administrator’s findings thereon shall be final and conclusive. 3. COOPERATION AND CARE A. Should construction be under way by the City, other agencies or other contractors within or adjacent to the limits of the work specified or should work of any other nature be under way by other forces within or adjacent to said limits, the Contractor shall cooperate with all such other contractors or other forces to the end that any delay or hindrance to their work will be avoided.

The City will invoice the Contractor at time and one half to cover the costs incurred. If Contractor does not pay the invoice within ten days, the City may deduct the amount billed from other payments due or to become due to Contractor under the Contract. C. The Administrator or Administrator’s designee shall have the authority to suspend the Work, wholly or in part, for such a period as the Administrator may deem necessary. 93 Electrical Vehicles Charging Stations Construction Contract PW Short Form Construction Contract (<25k) Page 21 of 23 Exhibit D – Insurance Exhibit D INSURANCE Pursuant to Section 19 of this Agreement the following insurance requirements apply to Contractor and performance of the Work.

Waiver of Subrogation Contractor hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Contractor may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Special Risks or Circumstances City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances. 96 97 98 99 100 Page 1 of 2 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 21, 2012 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Iveta Harvancik DIRECTOR: John Cherbone Senior Engineer SUBJECT: Subdivision Improvement Agreement RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Approve Subdivision Improvement Agreement between Peach Hill Road, LLC and the City of Saratoga. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the same. REPORT SUMMARY: In 1998 the Council adopted Resolution Number SD 88-005.01 approving the Final Map of subdivision application SD 88-005.01 on Peach Hill Road. Earlier this year, the property was purchased by Peach Hill Road, LLC. The new owner agreed to complete remaining subdivision improvements along with submitting required subdivision securities. A new Subdivision Improvement Agreement is needed with the new owner to ensure the completion of the requirements of the original development application SD 88-005.1. It is therefore recommended the City Council approve the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. FISCAL IMPACTS: None. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Subdivision Improvement Agreement will not be executed. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: 101 Page 2 of 2 None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION: The Subdivision Improvement Agreement will be recorded by the City Clerk. 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 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. Subdivision Improvement Agreement 2.

REPORT SUMMARY: On March 7, 2012, the City Council conducted a public hearing, introduced the proposed ordinance, and directed staff to place the matter on the consent calendar at the next Council meeting. The proposed ordinance is attached. The proposed amendments would remove the time period in the surplus parking provision. FISCAL IMPACTS: Parking spaces do have value which can be quantified and collected through an in-lieu fee. However, additional fee burdens may keep new business from locating in the Village as the local economy is still slowly recovering. Retaining the parking waiver could continue to help stimulate business activity in the Village thereby increasing sales tax revenue to the City. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Provide staff with alternative direction. FOLLOW UP ACTION: This ordinance or a comprehensive summary thereof shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation of the City of Saratoga within 15 days after its adoption. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Notice of this meeting was properly posted. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Off-Street Parking and Loading Facilities Ordinance amendment 129 1 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SARATOGA CITY CODE CONCERNING PARKING REQUIREMENTS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows: a. The City of Saratoga’s Village business district has long been recognized as an area that has a mix of businesses that included cross section of retail, service, restaurant, and personal service industries that contribute to our residents’ quality of life. b. The City’s Village Design Guidelines and Village Improvement Project both contain numerous goals to create a vibrant downtown where the mix of retail and service based businesses exist. c. A nationwide economic recession has reduced the demand for many retail goods resulting in retail business failures and increasing retail space vacancies in the Village. d. There is surplus parking capacity in the Village and this capacity can be used to attract new uses to the Village to promote a more diverse economic climate. e. The General Plan designates the downtown Village area as CR - Retail Commercial. General Plan Land Use Policy LU 7.1 states, “The City shall consider the economic impacts of all land use decisions on the City.” Accordingly, relaxing the parking requirements would provide greater flexibility in attracting tenants and/or promote greater investment in individual properties which would be consistent with Policy LU 7.1 and the City’s goals to revitalize the Village. f. The Circulation and Scenic Highway Element of the General Plan states under Goal CI.7.0a, “Provide adequate parking for non-residential uses to minimize intrusion into adjacent neighborhoods.’ CI.7.1, states, “Review on-street parking policies and utilization in the Village area” as a policy. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan in that the proposed amendment relies on a review of current utilization of parking in the Village. g. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the extension amendment is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. 130 2 Section 2. Adoption. The Saratoga City Code is hereby amended by adding the text shown in bold italics (example) and deleting the text shown in strikeout (example) in the sections listed below: 15-35.020 General requirements and regulations for off-street parking spaces. (k) Surplus parking in C-H district: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, for applications deemed complete between after March 1, 2006 and February 28, 2012 (1) Allocation procedure: Surplus floor area shall be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the date that the application submittal is deemed complete by the Community Development Department; , no off-street parking shall be required of any new, altered, or enlarged site or structure in any C-H district until such time as a total of forty-one thousand eight hundred fifty square feet of gross floor area beyond that existing on March 1, 2006 ("surplus floor area") has been constructed or otherwise allocated as set forth below in the C-H districts. This provision shall be administered as follows: (2) New site or structure: The amount to be deducted from the surplus floor area for a new site or structure shall be the gross floor area calculated using the methodology for determining gross floor area in subsection (e) of this Section; (3) Alteration that increases floor area: The amount to be deducted from the surplus floor area for an alteration to an existing site or structure that increases the gross floor area of that site or structure shall be the difference between the new gross floor area and the existing gross floor area determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section; (4) Change in use that does not increase floor area: The amount to be deducted from the surplus floor area for a change in use to an existing site or structure that does not increase the gross floor area of that site or structure shall be determined as follows: The number of parking spaces required for the change in use, as determined by the off-street parking space requirements prescribed in Section 15-35.030, shall be multiplied by four hundred fifty square feet (450 SF) to determine the "changed use area". The number of parking spaces allocated to the prior use shall be multiplied by four hundred fifty square feet (450 SF) to determine the existing parking credit. The amount to be deducted from the surplus floor area shall be the changed use area minus the existing parking credit. For example: if a change in use requires four parking spaces, then the changed use area is equal to one thousand eight hundred square feet. If the previous use required one parking space, then existing parking credit is four hundred fifty square feet. The surplus floor area to be deducted would be one thousand three hundred fifty square feet; (5) Exception for parking districts: Notwithstanding subsection (4), above, no deduction from the surplus floor area shall be made or required for any change in use or alteration to an existing site or structure within a City parking district that does not increase the gross floor area of that site or structure; 131 3 (6) Removal of allocation: Allocation of surplus floor area to an application shall be removed at such time as the application is denied or withdrawn and, for applications that are approved, upon the expiration of that approval. If an application is modified by the applicant or the approval in a manner that changes the gross floor area associated with the application, the allocation shall be adjusted accordingly; (7) Allocation monitoring: The Community Development Department shall monitor and maintain an account showing the amount of surplus floor area that has been allocated pursuant to this Section and the amount that remains to be allocated; and (8) Projects in excess of available allocation: Any proposed new, altered, or enlarged site or structure in any C-H district that would add more gross floor area than the remaining surplus floor area shall comply with the off-street parking requirements set forth in subsection (a) of this Section and elsewhere in this Code as to the excess floor area unless the applicant applies for and pays the costs of a parking study to be completed by the City Traffic Engineer and that study is approved by the Planning Commission and determines that excess parking capacity is available in the C-H districts and recommends that the amount of surplus floor area be increased at least by an amount that would accommodate the proposed new, altered, or enlarged site or structure. Section 3. Severance Clause. The City Council declares that each section, sub-section, paragraph, sub-paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance is severable and independent of every other section, sub-section, paragraph, sub-paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance. If any section, sub-section, paragraph, sub-paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held invalid, the City Council declares that it would have adopted the remaining provisions of this ordinance irrespective of the portion held invalid, and further declares its express intent that the remaining portions of this ordinance should remain in effect after the invalid portion has been eliminated. Section 4. Publication. This ordinance or a comprehensive summary thereof shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation of the City of Saratoga within fifteen days after its adoption. [The Remainder of This Page is Intentionally Blank] 132 4 The foregoing ordinance was introduced and read at the regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Saratoga held on the 7th day of March, 2012, and was adopted by the following vote following a second reading on the 21st of March, 2012: AYES: __________________________________________ NOES: __________________________________________ ABSENT: ________________________________________ __________________________________________ Chuck Page MAYOR, CITY OF SARATOGA, CALIFORNIA ATTEST: ___________________________ Crystal Morrow CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO FORM: ___________________________ Richard Taylor CITY ATTORNEY 133 Page 1 of 3 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 21, 2012 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Cynthia McCormick, AICP DIRECTOR: James Lindsay SUBJECT: Development Agreement for Design Review and Conditional Use Permit for a new Two-Story Home, Secondary Dwelling Unit, Equestrian Facilities and Variation from Standards for Lot Coverage RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the City Council (1) accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Development Agreement, Design Review, and Conditional Use Permit subject to conditions of approval; and (2) introduce and waive the first reading of the Ordinance adopting the Development Agreement and direct staff to place the ordinance on the consent calendar at the next regular City Council meeting. DISCUSSION: On February 8, 2012, the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing to review the project. At that time, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a new 6,072 square foot two-story home, an 876 square foot secondary dwelling unit, and a 5,402 square foot stable at 22100 Mount Eden Road. The new barn will require design review approval because detailed plans were not prepared for this stage of the project. The total proposed floor area on the site would be 13,971 square feet and the total proposed lot coverage would be 33,019 square feet based on the considerations proposed in the Development Agreement. Development Agreement: A Development Agreement (Exhibit A-1) was prepared to support the findings needed to grant the requested entitlements. Under the proposed agreement, the applicant would agree: • That the property could not be subdivided now or in the future. • The development will be constructed as shown on the Development Plans and colors and materials board (Exhibit A) and as described in the Development Proposal (Exhibit A1). • The amount of total floor area for the property would not exceed 13,970 square feet (2,930 square feet less than what would have been allowed with a two-lot subdivision). • The amount of total lot coverage on the property would not exceed 42,019 square feet (5,671 square feet less than previously developed on the site). • Maintain a minimum percentage of agricultural and equestrian uses on the property (Exhibit A). 134 Page 2 of 3 • To record a Conservation Easement (Exhibit B) over the steepest portion of the property; thereby assuring the easement area would be retained in perpetuity in its natural, scenic and open space condition. • To dedicate pedestrian and equestrian trail easements to the City of Saratoga as depicted on the Trails Master Plan included in the Open Space Conservation Element of the City of Saratoga General Plan and the Trail Easements Agreement prepared by the City Engineer (Exhibit C). The Development Agreement provides that in exchange for the applicant’s agreement to not subdivide the property, the City would apply the floor area and lot coverage development standards as if the property had been subdivided into two separate lots. This is a benefit to the City because the applicant initially applied for a subdivision, and the City could not deny an application for such a subdivision. The provisions of this proposal are very similar to provisions approved in the South Thunder Pre-Annexation Agreement. The differences in the development standards are shown in the table below. An amendment to the CUP and Development Agreement would be required if the Property Owner desires to intensify the use in the future. Development Standards (Table 1) Zoning Standard Proposed Proposed vs. Standard Existing Lot Floor Area 8,800 sf.# 13,970 5,170 Coverage 16,500 sf. # 42,019 24,619 Two Lot Subdivision Floor Area 16,800 sf.# 13,970 -2,930 Coverage 31,500 sf. # 33,209* 709 # Assumes a 10% floor area bonus for the deed restricted secondary dwelling unit on one lot * 8,910 sf. deduction for common access road serving two parcels ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Deny the proposed resolution approving the requested entitlements and provide Staff with direction. FOLLOW UP ACTION: The Development Agreement Ordinance will be scheduled for a second reading on the April 4, 2012 consent calendar. The Development Agreement, Ordinance, and Resolution adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approving the Development Agreement, Design Review, and Conditional Use Permit will be effective 30 days after the second reading. The applicant will be required to record the Development Agreement, Conservation Easement, and Trails Agreement with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office, and apply for a City of Saratoga building permit for the requested entitlements. 135 Page 3 of 3 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 website in advance of the meeting.

Eden Road. The property is located within the Hillside Residential Zoning District (APN 503-09-005); and WHEREAS, on December 8, 2011, the Applicants submitted an application requesting conditional use permit approval and variation from standards for equestrian uses located at 22100 Mt. Eden Road; and WHEREAS, on February 8, 2012, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the subject application, and considered evidence presented by City staff, the applicant, and other interested parties including all comments on the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration raised during the public and agency comment period and at the public hearing. WHEREAS, on February 8, 2012, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve a development agreement, Design Review PDR11-0010, and Conditional Use Permit CUP11-0007 subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (these approvals are referred to below as the project). WHEREAS, on March 7, 2012 the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the project, and considered the Planning Commission recommendation, evidence presented by City staff, the applicant, and other interested parties including all comments on the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration raised during the public and agency comment period and at the public hearing. NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows: Section 1: The recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference. Section 2: For the reasons set forth in the staff report to the City Council, the project is consistent with Saratoga General Plan Land Use Goal 13 which provides that the City shall use the Design Review process to assure that the new construction and major additions thereto are compatible with the site and the adjacent surroundings; Open Space Element Policy 11.a which provides that the City shall ensure that projects are designed in a manner that minimizes disruption to important wildlife, riparian and plant habitats; and Safety Element Site and Drainage Policy 3 which provides that the City shall require that landscaping and site drainage 137 Resolution No. Page 2 2 plans be submitted and approved during Design Review for a residence prior to issuance of permits. Section 3: For the reasons set forth in the staff report to the City Council, the project is consistent with the Saratoga City Code in that the design and improvements are consistent with the design review findings in that the project avoids unreasonable interference with views and privacy; preserves the natural landscape, native and heritage trees; minimizes the perception of excessive bulk and is of compatible bulk and height; uses current grading and erosion control methods; and follows appropriate design policies and techniques. Section 4: For the reasons set forth in the staff report to the City Council, the project meets the burden of proof required to support the conditional use permit and variation from standards in that the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; that the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this Chapter; and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect existing or anticipated uses in the immediate neighborhood, and will not adversely affect surrounding properties or the occupants thereof. Section 5: The Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project is hereby adopted together with the findings and determinations set forth in Exhibit 2 to this Resolution; Section 6: Given that the Development Agreement provides certain assurances for the City, the City of Saratoga City Council hereby accepts the Planning Commission recommendation to approve Design Review PDR11-0010, and Conditional Use Permit CUP11- 0007 subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The approval of PDR11-0010 and CUP11-0007 shall become effective upon the date that the Development Agreement for the project introduced on March 21, 2012 takes effect. In the event that the Development Agreement is not adopted or for any reason does not take effect, those approvals shall be of no force and effect. 138 Resolution No. Page 3 3 PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City of Saratoga City Council this 21st day of March 2012 by the following vote: COUNCIL MEMBERS: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: SIGNED: ATTEST: _________________________________ _____________________________ Chuck Page, Crystal Morrow, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA CLERK OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA 139 Resolution No. Page 4 4 EXHIBIT 1 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL DESIGN REVIEW & CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.

The City of Saratoga shall be notified, and a qualified archaeologist shall examine the find and make appropriate recommendations regarding the significance of the find and the appropriate mitigation. Recommendations could include collection, recordation, and analysis of any significant cultural material. 146 Resolution No. Page 11 11 Pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code and Section 5097.94 of the public Resources Code of the State of California. b. In the event of the discovery of human remains during construction, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlay adjacent remains. The Santa Clara County Coroner shall be notified and shall make a determination as to whether the remains are Native American. If the Coroner determines that the remains are not subject to his authority, he shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission who shall attempt to identify descendants of the deceased Native American. If no satisfactory agreement can be reached as to the disposition of the remains pursuant to this State Law, then the land owner shall re-inter the human remains and items associated with Native American burials on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance. c. In the event any unrecorded archaeological resources are recorded, it will be the responsibility of the project archaeologist to (at a minimum) record the location of the resources on DPR archaeological site forms to be submitted to the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) at the completion of the project. If it has been determined that additional earthmoving activities will further disturb the resource, a plan for its evaluation under current CEQA guidelines should be submitted to the City of Saratoga for approval before a program of hand excavation is undertaken. d. If evaluative testing demonstrates that the property contains an archaeological resource eligible for inclusion on the California Register of Historical Resources, the project applicant should submit a plan for mitigation of impacts to that resource to the City of Saratoga for approval before additional data recovery efforts are allowed to proceed in areas of planned impacts. Mitigation can take the form of additional archaeological monitoring along with recording and/or removal of significant archaeological materials and information. Mitigation should also include the analysis and production of a report of findings at the completion of archaeological fieldwork for submission to the City and the NWIC. e. After discovery of any significant cultural resources, a final report shall be submitted to the City of Saratoga. This report shall contain a description of the monitoring and testing program, a list of the resources found, a summary of the resources analysis methodology and conclusion, and a description of the disposition/duration of the resources.

Eden Road (APN 503-09-005). The foregoing actions are described as the “Project.” Findings and Determinations Regarding California Environmental Quality Act Compliance 1. An Initial Study (IS) and Negative Declaration (ND) were prepared for the Project by the City of Saratoga, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code sections 21000-21177), CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations sections 15000-15387), and other applicable requirements. 2. The Initial Study and a notice of intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) were duly noticed and circulated for a 30-day public review period from December 12, 2011 through January 11, 2012. All Interested Parties desiring to comment on the MND were given the opportunity to submit written and oral comments on the adequacy of the MND up to and including the close of the Public Hearing on Project before the City Council on March 7, 2012. 3. The IS and ND represents the City’s independent judgment and analysis. 4. On March 7, 2012 the City Council conducted a public meeting on the Project, during which opportunity was given to address the adequacy of the MND. All comments on the IS and MND raised during the public and agency comment period and at the Public Hearings on the Project were considered by the City Council and the City Council was given the opportunity to review all of the information in the administrative record; and 5. After the conclusion of public testimony, the City Council considered all oral and written comments and a staff recommendation for approval of the MND and reviewed and considered the information in the IS and ND, public and agency comments on the IS and ND, the administrative record, and the staff report for completeness and compliance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and any and all other applicable requirements. 6. The Project has been the subject of an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant Section 15070 and following of Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines). The MND has been completed in compliance with the intent and requirements of CEQA, CEQA Guidelines and any and all other applicable requirements. The City Council has considered the information contained in the MND and the record in considering the Project and related actions. 150 Resolution No. Page 15 15 7. The MND is based on an Initial Study which identifies potentially significant effects, but: (1) Revisions in the project plans would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and (2) There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the City of Saratoga, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. 8. The documents constituting the record of proceedings upon which this decision is based are located in the City of Saratoga Public Works Department and are maintained by the Director of that Department. Pursuant to CEQA and CEQA Guidelines, the City Council finds on the basis of, and after review of, the whole record before it (including the Initial Study, the Mitigated Negative Declaration, any and all comments received, and in light of expert and other evidence submitted), that there is no credible, substantial evidence that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment as to any issue raised. 151 1 ORDINANCE NO.

The existing 1,620 square foot detached garage will remain. Maximum allowable floor area and lot coverage is being based on what would have been allowed under a two-lot subdivision. The maximum allowable floor area under the development agreement is 13,970 square feet. The maximum allowable lot coverage under the development agreement is 42,019 square feet. The total lot coverage does not include the access driveway leading up to the residence and equestrian uses, because an access easement would not have counted towards lot coverage in a subdivision application.

The Owner has submitted an Application for a Conditional Use Permit for the equestrian uses including a future stable and related accessory structures (maximum 5,402 square feet of total floor area), outdoor kitchen, and driveway. A Variation from Standards is requested for site coverage for the aforementioned improvements. Design Review approval will be required for the future barn and accessory structures.

General plan designation 7. : Residential Hillside Conservation (RHC) Zoning : Hillside Residential (HR) 8. Description of project : The project is a request for a use permit, variation from standards for lot coverage and floor area, and design review approval. Currently, the site is 19.25 (gross) acres with an average slope of approximately 32.81%. The site was previously developed with a two-story home, detached garage, swimming pool, equestrian structures and surfaces, and other surfaces used for site circulation for a total of 47,691 square feet of existing lot coverage. The applicant has or would deconstruct the existing 5,329 square foot home, 2,835 square foot barn, horse corral, and swimming pool, but retain the existing 1,620 square foot detached garage. The project would include a new 6,072 square foot two-story home with attached garage, 876 square foot secondary dwelling unit, and existing 1,620 square foot detached garage to remain. The secondary unit would be deed restricted for income qualifying tenants, granting the project a 10% increase in maximum allowable floor area and lot coverage. A Conditional Use Permit would be required for a future equestrian stable and associated uses including a 5,402 square foot barn and feed shed, open riding arena and horse walker area. The project would include a conservation easement over a portion of the lot where steep terrain precludes safe development. The applicant is requesting a variation from standards for additional lot coverage. Eight trees protected by City Code are requested for removal and have been reviewed by the City Arborist with findings made for removal. 9. Surrounding land uses and setting: The project is located at 22100 Mt. Eden Road, approximately one-half mile northeast of Pierce Road in the City of Saratoga, California (refer to Figure 1). The south-western boundary of the property is adjacent to the City’s outer limits and sphere of influence. The property falls within the City’s Hillside Specific Plan area and hazardous fire area. The property includes a pedestrian and equestrian trail easement as well as an access/egress easement to adjacent properties. The site is surrounded by single-family homes, accessory uses such as horse stables and vineyards, and dense tree coverage/landscaping. 10. Other public agencies whose review is required a.

Please see the checklist beginning on page 7 for additional information. Aesthetics Agriculture and Forestry Air Quality x Biological Resources Cultural Resources X Geology/Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use/Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population/Housing Public Services Recreation Transportation/Traffic Utilities/Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X 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 MIT IGATED 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: Printed Name: Cynthia McCormick For: 209 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 6 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiring, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance. 210 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 7 I. AESTHETICS: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista X b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway X c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? X d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? X a-b) The site is zoned for residential uses and currently contains a single-family residence and two ancillary structures. The project involves deconstruction of the existing residence and one ancillary structure. The existing structures have not been determined to be historically significant. The project is not located along a scenic highway or scenic vista as identified in the Saratoga General Plan. c) The proposed project involves construction of a single-family home and secondary dwelling unit that is consistent with the residential development surrounding the project site. The home is primarily designed as one-story with hipped roofs to minimize bulk and height. A second story element adds 400 square feet of living space above the entry way with a maximum height of 25 feet and four inches. The appearance of bulk is reduced by containing 2,057 square feet of space within a walk-out basement. The secondary unit would be designed in the same architectural style as the main dwelling. The design includes earthtone colors that would blend with the dense trees surrounding the property. Setbacks for the proposed structures include a minimum of 328 feet in the front, 1,500 feet in the rear and 55 feet on the closest side. d) The project does not propose any street lighting. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impact on Aesthetics.

Eden Road Page 8 II. 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 the forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact 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? X b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? X 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))? X d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? X 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? X DISCUSSION: a-e) The property is not zoned for farm or agricultural land uses and it is not under a Williamson Act contract. No forest land, as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g) exists on the property. A Conservation Easement has been prepared for the western most potion of the lot where the majority of the mixed chaparral and oak woodland on the parcel is located. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Agricultural and Forest Resources.

Eden Road Page 9 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: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? X b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? X 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)? X d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X DISCUSSION: The Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAQMD) CEQA Guidelines recommend air quality significance thresholds, analytical methodologies and mitigation measures for local agencies to use when preparing air quality impact analyses under CEQA. The BAQMD CEQA Guidelines contain instructions on how to evaluate, measure, and mitigate air quality impacts generated from land development construction and operation activities. The Guidelines focus on criteria air pollutant, greenhouse gas (GHG), toxic air contaminant, and odor emissions generated from plans or projects. The BAQMD CEQA Guidelines provide screening criteria to determine if a project may have potentially significant impacts requiring a detailed analysis. This preliminary screening provides the lead agency with a conservative indication of whether the proposed project would result in the generation of construction-related criteria air pollutants and/or precursors that exceed the Thresholds of Significance. If all of the following Screening Criteria are met, the construction of the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact from criteria air pollutant and precursor emissions, and the lead agency or applicant would not need to perform a detailed air quality assessment of their project‘s air pollutant emissions. 1. The project is below the applicable screening level size for criteria pollutants and precursors and Greenhouse Gases (GHG), show in Table 3-1 of the BAQMD CEQA Guidelines. 2. All Basic Construction Mitigation Measures would be included in the project design and implemented during construction; and 3. Construction-related activities would not include any of the following: a. Demolition activities inconsistent with District Regulation 11, Rule 2: Asbestos Demolition, Renovation and Manufacturing; b. Simultaneous occurrence of more than two construction phases (e.g., paving and building construction would occur simultaneously); c. Simultaneous construction of more than one land use type (e.g., project would develop residential and commercial uses on the same site) (not applicable to high density infill development); d. Extensive site preparation (i.e., greater than default assumptions used by the Urban Land Use Emissions Model [URBEMIS] for grading, cut/fill, or earth movement); or e. Extensive material transport (e.g., greater than 10,000 cubic yards of soil import/export) requiring a considerable amount of haul truck activity. 213 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 10 a-e) Air emissions increases associated with the proposed project would not be considered significant since the size of the proposed project would not exceed the BAAQMD’s threshold levels for potential significance. Traffic generated by the project would not have the potential to generate significant air quality impacts. The proposed project does not involve construction activities that would result in significant air emissions or changes to regional air quality. However, project construction activities may result in short-term changes to air quality in the immediate vicinity of the project site and impacts to sensitive receptors. Temporary increases in emissions may result from demolition activities, delivery of construction material, earthmoving, and construction. Dust can be emitted by the action of equipment and vehicles and as a result of wind erosion over exposed earth surfaces. Grading and earthmoving activities, although minimal, comprise the major source of construction dust emissions, but traffic and general disturbance of the soil also generate dust emissions. Short-term impacts would be mostly related to particulate matter emissions, an increase in exhaust emissions produced during the transport of workers, machinery and construction materials to and from the site could also occur. The City requires development applications to include a green points checklist from the Build It Green program. In conjunction with this checklist the City encourages new development proposals to incorporate energy conservation and sustainable/green building design though the use of construction material choices, building orientation and site planning, energy efficient appliances and heating and cooling systems among other things in an effort to reduce the cumulative impacts of construction on Climate change. The additional wood smoke from one wood burning fireplaces allowed under the City’s Zoning Ordinance would contribute a less than significant amount of particulate pollution and would be regulated under the BAAQMD’s Spare The Air Day regulations. Heavy machinery powered by diesel engines that would be used during project construction may create localized odors during the duration of construction operations. It is unlikely that these odors would be noticeable by humans not on the project site. No permanent odors would be created. (Sources: Bay Area Air Quality Management District CEQA Guidelines (online) updated May 2011; City of Saratoga General Plan and Municipal Code) The following conditions of approval will be placed on the project as required for general construction: 1) All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day. 2) All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered. 3) All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited. 4) All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph. 5) All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used. 6) Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points. 214 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 11 7) All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer‘s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified visible emissions evaluator. 8) Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the lead agency regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District‘s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations. 9) Green building materials and strategies shall be incorporated into the construction of the proposed new residences in accordance with City guidelines and standards. 10) A maximum of one wood-burning fireplace per residence may be installed consistent with City regulations and BAAQMD guidelines. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Air Quality. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact 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? X 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? X 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? X 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? X e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? X 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? X DISCUSSION: a-d) A biotic assessment was prepared for the site by H.T. Harvey & Associates in December 2006. The assessment included reconnaissance-level field surveys to document biotic resources that may pose constraints to site development. The surveys included an assessment of biotic habitats including vegetation, wildlife, aquatic/drainage, and special status flora and fauna including the specific potential for California red-legged frogs. The site supports non-native annual grassland, mixed riparian/wetland, aquatic, and mixed chaparral/oak woodland. Two seasonal drainages occur on the site. One runs along 215 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 12 the northern portion of the property and has two, small tributaries. The other runs along the southern portion of the property along the driveway. Both drainages are tributaries to Calabazas Creek. A short reach (~150 feet long) of Calabazas Creek occurs along the eastern edge of the site. Soils on site include Azule silty clay loam and are well drained and occur on sloping terraces. Most of the property is comprised of non-native annual grassland and ruderal (disturbance-loving) forbs, mixing with native and non-native trees. No native grasses typical of native valley grassland were observed, and grasslands on the site are not expected to support the diverse annual flora associated with this habitat. The non-native annual grassland is regularly disked and mowed by the property owner and it is likely that regular disking prevents the establishment of small burrowing species and birds that would serve as prey for larger raptors and other grassland predators. The lack of burrows also indicates that the habitat is not suitable for Burrowing Owls. The riparian habitat that exists along the northern drainage and its tributaries varies between thick vegetation and no vegetation. The riparian corridor consists of a dense canopy of California buckeye, California bay, and valley oak, and an understory of California blackberry, Himalayan blackberry, curly dock, and poison oak. The site is also infested with weeds and coyote brush. The riparian vegetation habitat that exists along the southern portion of the site is highly degraded. The mixed riparian forest along the northern drainage has a relatively sparse understory and is bordered by development and disked grassland habitat on either side. The proximity to current residential development and associated predation from domesticated dogs and cats could potential have reduced the use of this habitat by wildlife. The mixed riparian habitat along the southern boundary of the site is of very marginal quality for wildlife but may support some smaller reptiles and birds. Chaparral habitat is located within the entire western portion of the project site as well as the eastern portion of the site, near Mt. Eden Road. The chaparral habitat on the western portion of the site is mostly undisturbed and constitutes relatively high quality habitat for chaparral-associated wildlife. Special Status Plant Species The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG)’s Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB 2006), miscellaneous information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and technical publications were used to produce an inventory of special-status plants in the area. Forty-eight (48) potential special-status plans species are in the area; however all these species were eliminated from consideration and considered to be absent on the site, based on habitat types, soil information, a lack of associated plant species, and the disturbed nature of the project site. Several special-status animal species that are known to occur regionally are absent from the project site. No suitable habitat or breeding habitat for the California tiger salamander is present on or near the site. The aquatic habitat on and adjacent to the site is inadequate to support the western pond turtle and the foothill yellow-legged frog is not known to occur in the site vicinity. The limited nature of grassland on the site makes in unsuitable for use by the Golden Eagle, Ferruginous Hawk, Northern Harrier, Prairie Falcon, and California Horned Lark. The Burrowing owl is not expected to occur on the site due to the absence of ground squirrel burrows or other suitable nesting and roosting sites. No suitable breeding habitat for the Tricolored Blackbird is present on the site. Other special-status animal species may occur in the project area only as uncommon to rate visitors, migrants, or transients but are not expected to 216 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 13 breed on the site. These species include Sharp-skinned Hawk, Merlin, California Yellow Warbler, Townsend’s big-eared bat, and pallid bat. Special Status Animal Species Special-status animal species that may breed on the site are described below and include: the federally threatened California red-legged frog; the California fully protected White-tailed Kite and the California species of special concern Cooper’s Hawk, Loggerhead Shrike, and San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat. The California red-legged frog could potentially forage in or disperse through the northern drainage on the site, but there is insufficient water in this drainage to provide breeding habitat. However, the deep pool within Calabazas Creek at the eastern end of the site (across Mt. Eden Road) represents possible breeding habitat for California red-legged frogs because it was approximately 2-3 feet deep during the June 2006 site visit. However because it lacks the emergent vegetation typically present at California red-legged frog breeding sites, and because it may become dry during the summer, it is considered marginal breeding habitat. No California red-legged frogs were observed during the reconnaissance site visit. Focused surveys would be required to determine whether this species is present on the site. The Cooper’s Hawk is found most often where wooded areas occur in patches and groves. The wooded areas on the project site provide potential nesting habitat for the Cooper’s Hawk and this species could forage and breed on the site. However, at most, one pair would be expected to occur here given the relatively small size of the parcel and relatively large size of this species breeding territories. In the San Francisco Bay area, the White-tailed Kite is common in areas where suitable nest sites are interspersed with extensive open foraging habitat. However, the foraging habitat for this species is marginal due to the relatively limited extent of open grassland and the paucity of small mammals on- site. Likewise, the relatively small size of the open grassland on-site would suggest marginal habitat for the Loggerhead Shrike. The special-status species San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat is likely to occur within the non- fragmented mixed riparian and high quality chaparral area in the western portion of the site. However, the western portion of the site is not within the footprint of the proposed grading or construction of the project. No individuals or nests of this species were observed on the site during the reconnaissance-level surveys in the mixed riparian forest along the northern drainage near the proposed building pads. The lack of woodrats in this area could be the result of relatively sparse understory and narrowness of th4e riparian corridor in this portion of the site, or from predation by domestic cats and dogs associated with nearby development. The California species of special concern Pallid Bat is likely to forage over the open grassland areas of the site and the larger trees on the site could provide potential winter day roost for the pallid bats. However, they are not expected to breed on the site due to the proximity of a known maternity colony located approximately 0.5 miles north of the project site. Mitigation measures including pre-construction surveys will be carried out to ensure that impacts are mitigated to a less than significant threshold. 217 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 14 Aquatic/Drainage Areas Two small potential wetland areas were identified within the project site. The first identified area occurred at the end of a small, incised drainage arising within the chaparral habitat to the west and traveled north but did not connect to the northern drainage. This area was approximately 20 foot long and 5 foot wide and was separated from the northern drainage by non-native grassland habitat and bare dirt for approximately 100 feet. The area was filled with debris and was cleaned out and filled with dirt by the current owner, prior to knowledge of the biotic assessment that was completed for the previous owner. The second potential wetland area occurs approximately 50 feet north of the existing developed residential area and was approximately 25 feet wide and 15 feet long at the time of the assessment. This area appeared to create an incised area (additional contributing drainage) leading to the northern drainage. Both areas contained curly dock, common spikerush, tall flatsedge, rabbitsfoot grass, Italian ryegrass, and annual bluegrass. However, the wetland portions of the site were found to be too small and ephemeral to provide significant habitat for wetland associated wildlife. A 3 foot wide and 1 foot deep flow and a 2-3 foot deep in-stream pool was observed within Calabazas Creek immediately downstream of the Mt. Eden crossing during the June 2006 survey. Pacific treefrog tadpoles were observed in the deep pool within Calabazas Creek on the east end of the site and Western toads were observed in the northern drainage. No fish were observed in the northern drainage which did not contain sufficient water for fish and the southern drainage is not expected to support aquatic wildlife due to the lack of flow. (Sources: Biotic Assessment prepared by H.T. Harvey & Associates December 7, 2006) In 2007, H.T. Harvey & Associates conducted the first of eight surveys for California Red Legged Frogs (CRLF) in accordance with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Protocol (USFWS 2005) by walking along the banks and within the drainages and through the upland on the property. During this survey, one CRLF was observed in the 2 to 3 foot deep pool in Calabazas Creek just below the Mount Eden Road crossing. No other frogs were observed on the property during the survey. During a return visit, three CDLF larvae were observed within the same pool. The USFWS was notified of this occurrence and it has been recorded in the California Natural Diversity Database as Occurrence Number 961. The current conditions on the property have changed since the 2006 assessment and 2007 surveys, including demolition of the existing home and plantation of an active vineyard. Vineyards have lower value as dispersal and foraging habitat for the frogs. No reduction in upland habitat for the CDLG is expected. However, a dispersing animal could still be at risk of injury or mortality due to crushing by construction equipment, vehicles, or construction personnel during construction. (Sources: Letter from H.T. Harvey & Associates, dated January 6, 2012) e) Thirty trees protected by City Code, and potentially impacted by construction, were inventoried by the City Arborist in June and December 2011. Inventoried trees included twelve Valley oaks, five Italian stone pines, five Mexican fan palms, three Coast live oaks, one Southern live oak, two Coast redwoods, and two London plane trees. Five Italian stone pines, two Valley oaks, and one Mexican fan palm tree meet the findings for removal. Tree protection measures and a tree protection security deposit for have been required as conditions of project approval. New trees equal in value to the protected trees to be removed shall be planted following construction to replace the removed trees. (Sources: Arborist Report prepared by Kate Bear December 2, 2011) 218 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 15 f) There is no Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan in effect for the project area and no conflict with such a plan is anticipated. (Sources: City of Saratoga General Plan) Based on the above discussion, potential impacts are considered to be less than significant with the implementation of Mitigation Measures for Biological Resources (BIO 1a to BIO 1e and BIO2). MITIGATION MEASURES: Mitigation for impacts to Special Status Species The only potential breeding habitat for California red-legged frogs is a single deep pool located on the far eastern portion of the site in Calabazas Creek, across Mount Eden Road from the project site. This pool will not be impacted by the project and hence impacts to California red-legged frog breeding habitat will be less than significant. However, red-legged frogs are thought to move regularly up to 0.7 miles over upland habitat between two or more potential breeding sites, and they have been known to move 2 miles or more or between aquatic habitat areas (USFWS 2010). One CRLF and three CDLF larvae were observed in the 2 to 3 foot deep pool in Calabazas Creek just below the Mount Eden Road crossing. No other frogs were observed on the property during the survey. Because construction of the main residence, secondary dwelling unit, and barn will occur on the existing pad of the previous residence, a graded slope, and graded pad, no reduction in upland habitat for the CDLG is expected. However, mitigations 1c, 1d, and 1e should be implemented to avoid injury or mortality of CRLF that may disperse into the construction area during construction activities. BIO 1a – Protocol-level Surveys. Site surveys were conducted in 2007 for California red-legged frogs (CRF), following the most recent protocol approved by the USFWS, at the time of the surveys. Red- legged frogs were detected on the project site during surveys conducted in 2007. Therefore, Mitigation Measures 1c, 1d, and 1e shall be implemented. BIO 1c – Seasonal Avoidance (Work Window). To the extent practicable, ground-disturbing activities should not occur during the wet season, from 15 October through 15 April, when California red-legged frogs are most likely to be found in upland habitats away from aquatic habitat. The preferred work window will be 16 April to 14 October. BIO 1d – On-site Construction Crew Education Program. Before the commencement of construction, a qualified biologist will explain to construction workers how best to avoid the accidental take of California red-legged frogs. The biologist will conduct a training session that would be scheduled as a mandatory informational field meeting for contractors and all construction personnel. The field meeting will include topics on species identification, life history, descriptions, and habitat requirements during various life stages. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of the habitat and life stage requirements within the context of project avoidance and minimization measures. Handouts, illustrations, photographs, and project maps showing areas where minimization and avoidance measures are being implemented will be included as part of this education program. The program will increase the awareness of the contractors and construction workers about existing federal and state laws 219 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 16 regarding endangered species as well as increase their compliance with conditions and requirements of resource agencies. Prior to the start of work each day, dedicated construction personnel will inspect trenches and pits that were left open overnight for frogs. If a ranid frog of any kind is encountered during project construction, the following protocol will be implemented: • All work that could result in direct injury, disturbance, or harassment of the individual animal must immediately cease; • The foreman will be immediately notified; • The foreman will immediately notify a qualified biologist, who in turn will immediately notify USFWS and CDFG if the frog is a red-legged frog; and • If approved by the USFWS and CDFG, the qualified biologist will remove the individual to a safe location nearby. BIO 1e – Pre-construction Surveys. A pre-construction survey for red-legged frogs will be conducted by a qualified biologist prior to any work within 200 feet of riparian habitat on-site. If any red-legged frogs are found within the work area, the USFWS and the CDFG will be contacted and if approved by the USFWS and CDFG, the qualified biologist will remove the individual to a safe location nearby. BIO 2 – Silt Fence Barrier. A silt fence barrier shall be erected between the breeding pool (2 to 3 foot deep pool in Calabazas Creek just below the Mount Eden Road crossing) and construction site during construction activities. RESULT AFTER MITIGATION: Upon implementation of the above mitigation measures, the project will not result in any significant adverse effect on the environment related to biological resource issues.

CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5? X b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5? X c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? X d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? X DISCUSSION: 220 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 17 a-d) There are no known historical resources, archeological resources, paleontological, unique geological features, or human remains on the property. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Cultural Resources. VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact 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? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42? X ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? X iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? X iv) Landslides? X b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? X d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? X e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? X DISCUSSION: The applicant proposes to demolish the existing house, construct a new residence with basement, construct a detached guest cottage, and construct a new driveway, walkways, and patios. An existing site garage is to remain. A proposed swimming pool site is to be located east of the proposed residence. The City’s Geotechnical Consultant reviewed the Geotechnical Investigation (report) prepared by Milstone Geotechnical, dated August 30, 2011; Fault Investigation (report) prepared by Steven F. Connelly, CEG, dated January 29, 2011; and Architectural Plans (7 sheets) prepared by Chris Spaulding, dated April 29, 2011. In addition, Geotechnical Consultant conducted site visits, observed various fault exploratory excavations, and reviewed pertinent technical documents. The referenced Fault Investigation (report) addresses potential primary fault rupture hazards to the proposed residence and cottage related to the locally mapped Berrocal fault. The City’s Geotechnical Consultant concluded that the consultant has adequately completed site geotechnical investigation and recommended project design parameters that are in general conformance with prevailing standards of geotechnical practice. 221 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 18 The City’s Geotechnical Consultant does not have objections to the layout of site improvements and recommends geotechnical approval with two conditions of approval. Based on the above discussion, potential impacts would be less than significant with the implementation of Mitigation Measures for Geology and Soils (GEO 1 to GEO 2). MITIGATION MEASURES: GEO 1 - The applicant's geotechnical consultant shall review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project building and grading plans (i.e., site preparation and grading, site drainage improvements and design parameters for foundations, retaining walls and driveway) to ensure that their recommendations have been properly incorporated. The results of the plan review shall be summarized by the geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to issuance of building permits. GEO 2 - The Project Geotechnical Engineer shall inspect, test (as needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspections shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements, and excavations for foundation construction prior to placement of fill, steel and concrete. The Project Engineering Geologist shall inspect basement excavations to confirm anticipated geologic conditions. The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the project shall be described by the geotechnical consultant in a letter(s) and submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to Final (as-built) Project Approval. MONITORING: These measures shall be monitored by the grading inspector in intervals prescribed within the attached Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Once grading activities have been completed on site, the applicant shall provide a letter of written verification that these measures have been complied with. RESULT AFTER MITIGATION: Upon implementation of the above mitigation measures, the project will not result in any residual significant adverse effect on the environment related to archaeological resources.

Eden Road Page 19 VII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: An assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions and climate change is included in the body of environmental document. While Caltrans has included this good faith effort in order to provide the public and decision-makers as much information as possible about the project, it is Caltrans determination that in the absence of further regulatory or scientific information related to GHG emissions and CEQA significance, it is too speculative to make a significance determination regarding the project’s direct and indirect impact with respect to climate change. Caltrans does remain firmly committed to implementing measures to help reduce the potential effects of the project. These measures are outlined in the body of the environmental document. Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? X b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? X DISCUSSION: a-b) The project would not generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment. The project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. Therefore no mitigation is necessary or required. VIII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? X b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? X c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? X d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? X e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? X f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? X 223 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 20 g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? X h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? X DISCUSSION: a-h) The project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. The project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment The project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The project is not located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. The project is not located within an airport land use plan, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, or within the vicinity of a private airstrip. The project is located in a Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area but would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands. The project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Therefore no mitigation is necessary or required in relation to hazards and hazardous materials. IX. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? X 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)? X 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? X 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? X 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? X f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? X 224 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 21 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?

X 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? X j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow X DISCUSSION: a-j) The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring conformance with applicable water quality and hydrology standards. Conditions of approval that address grading, erosion, drainage, stormwater, runoff, and water quality would include: 1. Stormwater. The applicant shall comply with requirements of Provision C.3 of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Permit for Santa Clara Basin. Disposition and treatment of stormwater shall comply with the applicable requirements of the NPDES Permit issued to the City of Saratoga and the implementation standards established by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (collectively the “NPDES Permit Standards”). Prior to issuance of Zoning Clearance for a Demolition, Grading or Building Permit for this Project, a Stormwater Detention Plan shall be submitted to the Building Department for review and approval demonstrating how all storm water will be detained on-site and in compliance with the NPDES Permit Standards. If not all stormwater can be detained on-site due to topographic, soils or other constraints, and if complete detention is not otherwise required by the NPDES Permit Standards, the Project shall be designed to detain on-site the maximum reasonably feasible amount of stormwater and to direct all excess stormwater away from adjoining property and toward stormwater drains, drainageways, streets or road right-of- ways and otherwise comply with the NPDES Permit Standards and applicable City Codes. 2. Stormwater Treatment Measures Maintenance. Post-construction operation and maintenance of storm water treatment Best Management Practices (BMP’s) shall be the responsibility of the homeowner. 3. Grading and Drainage Permit. A grading and drainage permit shall be obtained from the City Engineer. All conditions of the grading and drainage permit shall be implemented. All conditions of the Santa Clara Valley Water District shall be met. Short term soil erosion and sediment control resulting from construction activity shall be controlled. 4. Grading and Design Plan. A grading and drainage plan, prepared by a civil engineer, shall be submitted to the City for approval. a. The grading and drainage plan shall include a storm water retention plan indicating how storm water will be retained on site. b. Grading of a project site shall be designed to minimize erosion, runoff, and water waste, by using the following techniques: (1) grade so that all irrigation and normal rainfall remains within property lines and does not drain on to non-permeable hardscapes; (2) avoid disruption of natural drainage patterns and undisturbed soil; and (3) avoid soil compaction in landscape areas. 225 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 22 c. The grading plan shall indicate finished configurations and elevations of the landscape area including: (1) height of graded slopes; (2) drainage patterns; (3) pad elevations; (4) finish grade; and (5) stormwater retention improvements. d. Grading and trenching (including for undergrounding electrical lines) shall be shown on the plans submitted to the Building Division and demonstrate adequate protection of trees to the satisfaction of the City Arborist, or, in the alternative, the City Arborist shall be present and have authority during the grading and trenching to require hand digging for any tree roots judged at the discretion of the City Arborist to need additional protection. 5. Soil and Erosion Control Plan. The applicant should submit a soil and erosion control plan, which identifies the techniques for minimizing the impact of disturbance on adjacent properties. The Project shall be designed to direct water runoff away from adjacent properties and detain water runoff on the project site, to the maximum reasonably feasible amount possible, through the use of appropriate storm water control measures. Erosion problems shall be avoided or corrected including replanting removed and damaged trees and revegetating graded areas as soon as feasible with native plants. Correction of stream erosion problems shall be accomplished using natural and/or natural appearing materials. Applicant shall make on-site or off-site improvements reasonably related to the impacts of the Project as requested by the City Public Works Department, prior to Final Occupancy Approval. Given these requirements, the project will not 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; c-d) 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 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; or j) be subject to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Hydrology and Water Quality Resources. X. LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Physically divide an established community? X 226 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 23 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? X c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? X DISCUSSION: a-c) The project involves an application to construct one new single-family residence, one new secondary dwelling unit, and equestrian uses. The project would occur on a single-family residentially zoned property. The proposed project would not physically divide an established community or conflict with any habitat conservation or natural community plans of the City of Saratoga. The City of Saratoga General Plan includes numerous goals, objectives and policies to guide creation of new development. The proposed project does not conflict with any goals or policies of the City’s General Plan or Zoning ordinance. Based on the above discussion, the project does not present the potential for a significant adverse effect on the environment related to land use and planning. No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Land Use and Planning. (Sources: Review of the project, Saratoga Municipal Code, Saratoga General Plan Land Use Element) XI. MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact 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? X 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? X DISCUSSION: a-b) The property is not categorized or referenced within the General Plan as having mineral deposits of value to the region and has not been recognized as being a locally important mineral resource recovery site. Based on the above discussion, the project does not present the potential for a significant adverse effect on the environment related to mineral resources. No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Mineral Resources.

NOISE: Would the project result in: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact 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? X b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? X c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? X d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? X 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? X 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? X DISCUSSION: The project site is subject to several sources of urban noise including vehicular traffic on Mt. Eden Road. a-d) The project will not a) expose persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the City’s general plan or noise ordinance; b) expose persons to or generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels; c) create a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project; or d) create a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. e-f) The project is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public airport or public use airport or within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to Noise impacts. (Sources: Saratoga General Plan Noise Element) XIII. POPULATION AND HOUSING: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact 228 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 25 a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? X b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? X c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? X DISCUSSION: a-c) The project involves the demolition of one single-family home and one ancillary structures and construction of one single-family home and one secondary dwelling unit in a neighborhood developed with similarly sized single-family homes on similarly sized lots. The prject does not have the potential to induce substantial population growth, displace substantial numbers of existing housing, or displace substantial numbers of people. Based on the above discussion, the project does not present the potential for a significant adverse effect on the environment related to population and housing. No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Population and Housing. (Sources: Review of the project, Saratoga General Plan Housing Element) XIV. PUBLIC SERVICES: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No 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: Fire protection? X Police protection? X Schools? X Parks? X Other public facilities? X DISCUSSION: a) Fire protection services are provided by the Santa Clara County Fire District. Development of the project will comply with the most current Building and Fire Code requirements. Police protection is provided by the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, West Valley Division. The project site is already served by the Sheriff’s Office, and development of the project would not affect their ability to provide services. The project site is located in the Los Gatos Union School District and the Saratoga High School District. Development of the project would result in a negligible increase in the number of school 229 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 26 age children attending local schools. Park in-lieu fees would be collected for any net increase in residences to help fund improvements to City parks. The City is served by the Santa Clara County Library System, which has a branch library located in Saratoga. Property taxes and assessments fund the library operations. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Public Services. (Sources: Review of the project, Saratoga General Plan. Saratoga Municipal Code) XV. RECREATION: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No 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? X 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? X DISCUSSION: a-b) The project will not increase the use of existing neighborhood, regional or other recreational facilities, nor does the project require construction or expansion of recreational facilities. The project will require dedication of a trail easement to connect with other existing trail easements; however the trail extension is not being completed at this time and future construction of the trail is not expected to have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Recreation. (Source: Review of the project, Saratoga General Plan Open Space Element) XVI. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact 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? X 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? X 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? X 230 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 27 d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? X e) Result in inadequate emergency access? X 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? X DISCUSSION: a-f) The proposed project would construct one new single-family residence and one new secondary dwelling unit. The project is projected to generate a negligible amount of new vehicle traffic. The project will not conflict with any City plan, ordinance, or policy or applicable congestion management program. The proposed project would not result in a change in traffic patterns, substantially increase hazards due to a design feature, or result in inadequate emergency access. The proposed project will not conflict with any adopted policies or plans supporting alternative transportation. Therefore no mitigation is necessary or required in relation to transportation and traffic. XVII. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? X b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? X c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? X d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? X e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? X f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs? X g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? X DISCUSSION: 231 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt. Eden Road Page 28 The project involves demolition of an existing residence and one ancillary structure and construction of one new single-family residence and one new secondary dwelling unit on a single-family residentially zoned property for residential purposes. Water supply to the project site is served by Santa Clara Valley Water and sewer services are provided by Cupertino Sanitation District. Development of the proposed project would not significantly increase the demand for water or sanitary sewer facilities. Development of the proposed project would not significantly increase stormwater runoff compared to existing conditions. a-c) The project would not a) exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board; b) require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities; c) require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities; e-g) The project would d) have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources; e) have adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected wastewater treatment demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments; f) be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs; and g) comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Based on the above discussion, No mitigation is necessary or required in relation to impacts on Utilities and Service Systems. XVIII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? X b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? X c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? X DISCUSSION: This environmental document covers the impacts of the proposed development, which includes an application for Design Review to construct one new single-family residence and one new secondary dwelling unit, conditional use permit for an equestrian stable and associated uses, and a variation from standards for excess lot coverage. The identified mitigation measures will reduce all potentially significant impacts to a less-than-significant level. 232 City of Saratoga Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration 22100 Mt.

Consider any objections to the proposed Order for Abatement of Hazardous Vegetation and sustain or overrule any objections as to specific properties. Adopt the resolution ordering abatement as to specified properties (with modifications if any objections are sustained). BACKGROUND: At the December 21, 2012 City Council Meeting, Council adopted a resolution declaring hazardous vegetation (weeds) to be a public nuisance and started the first step in the annual Weed Abatement Program process conducted by the Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture. The County’s Weed Abatement Program prevents the accumulation of vegetative growth and combustible materials that represent fire hazards. Properties in the City that currently have or have recently had an accumulation of weeds or other combustible debris are listed in the 2012 Weed Abatement Commencement Report prepared by the County. Following adoption of the resolution declaring hazardous vegetation to be a public nuisance, property owners of parcels on the Commencement Report were notified by the County that they could protest listing of their properties on Commencement Report during a public hearing that took place during the January 18, 2012 City Council Meeting. No objections were raised and Council adopted a resolution declaring the abatement of hazardous vegetation on properties specified on the 2012 Weed Abatement Commencement Report. This second step in the Weed Abatement Program authorized the County to perform an inspection of properties on the Commencement Report to determine if the Weed Abatement Program requirements have been met. A second notice was sent to property owners in March to remind that that they have until April 15, 2012 to comply with abatement requirements. Property owners that do not meet minimum fire safety standards by April 15, 2012 will be charged a $250 inspection fee and the property will be scheduled for abatement by the County contractor. If abatement work is completed by the 237 Page 2 of 2 County contractor, the property owner will be assessed the contractor’s fees to perform the work plus an administrative fee of $169 per parcel. Additionally, if this is the property owner’s first year in the Weed Abatement Program then the property owner will be responsible for a $41 fee to cover the costs associated with creating and maintaining a file on the property. To continue the Weed Abatement Program process, Council should adopt the attached resolution ordering the abatement of hazardous vegetation (weeds). Council may sustain or overrule any objections to the properties listed on the 2012 Commencement Report. FISCAL IMPACTS: There are no direct financial impacts to the City of Saratoga as a result of the Weed Abatement Program. The Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture expenses are recovered through the Weed Abatement Program administrative fees charged to property owners. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The Weed Abatement Program in the City of Saratoga would not proceed. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Implement Council direction.

Attachments: Exhibit A – 2012 Weed Abatement Program Commencement Report The above and foregoing resolution was passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Saratoga City Council held on the 21st day of March 2012 by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ______________________________ Chuck Page, Mayor ATTEST: DATE: Crystal Morrow, City Clerk 240 2 4 1 2 4 2 2 4 3 2 4 4 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 1 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 21, 2012 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Michael Taylor, DIRECTOR: Michael Taylor Recreation & Facilities Director SUBJECT: Blaney Plaza Reservation Policy RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review report and provide direction to staff regarding the Blaney Plaza Reservation Policy. BACKGROUND: At the April 20, 2011 meeting, after considerable deliberation, Council established a reservation fee for guaranteed exclusive use of Blaney Plaza. Designated as a reservation fee only, rather than a rental fee, Council agreed to allow up to 5 reserved days per month for $25. Staff was directed to monitor and track the reservations of Blaney Plaza and report back after one year. DISCUSSION: To date, the only reserved use of Blaney Plaza since that meeting has been the Wednesday Farmer’s Market. The Market is regulated through the Conditional Use Permit process and not subject to the reservation policy. Staff has received no other requests for the reservation or use of the Plaza. FISCAL IMPACTS: None. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: None. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Council could decide to eliminate or revise the reservation fee for Blaney Plaza. FOLLOW UP ACTION: If policy amendments are approved, staff will revise practices and procedures accordingly. 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 website in advance of the meeting.

REPORT SUMMARY: Staff has recently received a number of requests from Saratoga groups regarding hanging banners from the Village light poles. Past practice has been to discourage such banners due to the lack of resources and a lack of policy. Staff proposes that a new policy be created allowing the City to manage the use of banners on the twenty six (26) available Village light poles. Staff recommends a simplified policy that will not burden current resources, yet protects the City from liability. The proposed policy creates a new “Reservation Fee” of $200 per reservation to process the applications, manage the calendar, and collect the certificates of insurance. A new “Security Deposit” of $500 is also proposed that will be refunded to the user upon successful completion of the banner reservation. City staff would release a public notice in June to previous banner users and various local community organizations announcing the availability of the program. In future years, this public notice will be included in the Recreation Activity Guide. Reservations would be accepted initially on a “first-come, first-served” basis with the following priority: 1. City of Saratoga sponsored activities, 2. Groups who have previously hung banners, 3. Saratoga-based non-profit organizations or events, and 4. New groups. User groups will be assigned dates on a master calendar and be allowed to hang banners for up to two weeks at a time, twice per year. Users will be completely responsible for their own banners, required to use a licensed and permitted installer, provide a copy of a $1 million certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured, and remove the banners immediately on the last date of the reservation. 255 FISCAL IMPACTS: None. All new fees created would comply with Proposition 26. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: There would be no official policy regulating the use of vertical banners on the Saratoga Village light poles. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Option 1 – No Policy. Council could choose to continue existing practices with no formal policy. Option 2 – Alternative Policy. Council could choose to create an alternative policy to the current proposal. FOLLOW UP ACTION: Staff will implement Council direction.

A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A – Proposed Policy Regulating the Public Use of Banners on the Saratoga Village Light Poles 256 Proposed 03/21/2012 Policy Regulating the Public Use of Banners on the Saratoga Village Light Poles 1. Non-Profit Organizations advertising community events or organizations advertising Saratoga-based non-profit events may hang banners on Saratoga Village light poles. Groups may be asked to show proof of non-profit or Saratoga residency status. 2. In June of each year, community groups will be asked to submit their requests for preferred dates from July 1st to June 30th to hang a banner on Saratoga Village light poles. The City will consider all requests and finalize the schedule for the coming fiscal year. Dates open after the calendar is established can be filled throughout the year. 3. Requests will be given the following priority: 1) City of Saratoga sponsored activities, 2) groups who have previously hung banners, 3) Saratoga-based non- profit organizations or events, and 4) new groups. 4. Banners may be hung fourteen (14) days per usage, from Monday through Sunday, no more than twice per year. 5. All banners will be the responsibility of the reserving group. The user group is required to use a licensed and permitted installer. At least thirty days prior to the first day of the reservation, the user group must present a copy of a certificate of insurance in the amount of $1 million, naming the City as additional insured from an approved installer. 6. Groups will be charged a fee of $200 per reservation plus a refundable $500 security deposit. Please make checks payable to the City of Saratoga. Checks are due when the schedule request is confirmed. 7. Banners must be removed immediately on the Monday following the reservation. Security deposit will be forfeited for any late removal. Any banners not removed according to this policy may be removed and disposed of by the City. 8. To ensure that your banners be highly effective and properly placed, the following standards must be met: 257 Proposed 03/21/2012 a) Banners should be exactly three (3) feet long by two (2) feet wide. b) Banners must be made from a heavy-duty canvas or awning type of material. c) Depending on the type and weight of banner fabric, it is recommended the half moon cuts be sewn to avoid tearing and/or ripping. d) Banners should be two-sided. 9. The City of Saratoga assumes no responsibility or liability for banners, theft, damage or injury that may result from the placement of banners. 10. The City of Saratoga will be exempt from the fee requirement and the limitation of time per year. 258
