B. PROPOSED PROJECT
This section provides a brief project description, identifies project objectives,describes the
project alternatives evaluated within the Final EIR, and describes the public review process.
1. Project Description
The project is proposed by the City of Saratoga(City)to comply with California Government Code
Section 6558o-65589.8,which requires local jurisdictions update the Housing Element of their
General Plans every eight years to adequately plan for the regional housing needs of residents of
all income groups as well as to comply with laws requiring updates to the City's General Plan and
zoning ordinance.The project includes the following components,which together are considered
a"project"under CEQA:
■ Housing Element Update.The City's 6th Cycle Housing Element Update involves an
update for the 2023-2031 planning period to replace the existing 2015-2023 Housing
Element.The 2023-2031 Housing Element establishes policies and programs to further
the goal of meeting existing and projected housing needs of all household income levels
of the community and provides evidence of the City's ability to accommodate the
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)through the year 2031, as identified by the
Association of Bay Area Governments(ABAG).ABAG assigns housing production goals to
every Bay Area jurisdiction in its RHNA,with units identified in four categories of
affordability: homes that are affordable to households earning above-moderate,
moderate, low, and very-low incomes(includes extremely low income). Upon receiving
its RHNA from ABAG, each local government, including the City, must update the
Housing Element of its General Plan to show how it plans to meet the housing needs in its
community.The RHNA for Saratoga calls for the City to provide for development of a
total Of 1,712 housing units during the 2023-2031 period, consisting Of 454 units for very
low income households, 261 units for low-income households, 278 units for moderate-
income households, and 719 units for above-moderate-income households.Accordingly,
the project proposes sites for housing that would facilitate development of up to 1,857
new housing units, including the RHNA allocation and a buffer of 145 housing units
(approximately 8%percent)to help allow the City to comply with new"no net loss"
provisions of Senate Bill(SB)1.66.The project also includes 738 units from Housing
2
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Element Update housing mobility programs, and 3.84 units from Builder's Remedy
applications.
All of the project components described above are referred to as the"Housing Element
Update."
■ Safety Element Update.The project also includes adoption and implementation of
updates to the City's Safety Element.These updates reflect current conditions and
address new State requirements for a Safety Element to include climate change and
resiliency planning,evacuation planning,and to further address flooding and wildfire
hazards.(Government Code section 55302(g)requires that some of these updates be
made upon revising the Housing Element).This component is referred to as the"Safety
Element Update."
■ 204o General Plan Updates.The City of Saratoga is also updating the Land Use, Open
Space and Conservation, and Circulation Elements, and amending the noise contour data
and related maps in the Noise Element of the City's General Plan to reflect current
conditions, amend inconsistencies, and achieve compliance with current state laws and
applicable regional policies.This component is referred to as the"204o General Plan
Updates."
■ Associated General Plan Amendments.To implement the Housing Element,the project
includes the creation and adoption of three new mixed-use land use designations that
would allow for mixed-use residential development at greater densities throughout the
city than currently permitted.The City also proposes specific amendments to change the
land use designation of certain Housing Sites.
■ Associated Rezonings.To implement the Housing Element Update,the City proposes
the creation and adoption of three new mixed-use zoning districts which would allow for
mixed-use residential development at greater densities throughout the city than
currently permitted. Proposed Zoning Code amendments to implement the Housing
Element Update also include adopting new residential design and development
standards for mixed use and multifamily residential development,specifying housing
types that are permitted uses in several zoning districts, making clarifications regarding
design review and conditions of approval, and making conforming amendments.
2. Project Objectives
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 1.51.24, an EIR must present a statement of project
objectives.The project objectives include the City of Saratoga's housing goals and policies as
required by State law and contained within the Housing Element Update,the goals within the
Safety Element Update, and the focused objectives of the 204o General Plan Update,detailed

�. No Project Alternative: Under this alternative,the project would not be adopted,and the
additional development associated with implementation of the Housing Element Update
(2,779 housing units)would not occur.The No Project Alternative assumes that the existing
Housing Element would continue to be implemented, and there would be no changes to the
existing Safety Element, General Plan, or Zoning Ordinance.
2. Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative:Under this alternative, 12 of the 24
units associated with development at the Allendale/Chester Housing Site would not be
developed as a part of the opportunity sites under the Housing Element Update.
3. Reduced VMT Alternative:This alternative assumes additional dwelling units(428 units)
would be developed within the Saratoga Office Center and Gateway Sites areas,with the
goal of leading to an overall per capita decrease in vehicle miles travelled.
A more detailed description of these alternatives, and required findings, are set forth in Section
H: Feasibility of Project Alternatives.

4. Public Review Process
a. Environmental Impact Report
Pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines,the City circulated a Notice of Preparation(NOP)
that briefly described the project and the environmental topics that would be evaluated in the
EIR.The NOP was published on February 28, 2022, and the public comment period for the scope
of the EIR lasted from February 28, 2022,to March 30, 2022.A scoping session was held on March
21, 2022 to provide responsible agencies,trustee agencies, and interested parties the opportunity
to comment on the scope and content of the environmental analysis to be included in the EIR.
Comments received by the City on the NOP were taken into account during the preparation of
the Draft EIR.Comments received included concerns related to:traffic congestion and safety,
emergency vehicle access, evacuation access, increased noise, loss of historical ambiance,
suggestions for the alternatives analysis,water availability, loss of open land, poor air quality
during construction, building heights,waste generated by demolition of existing buildings, school
capacity, infrastructure improvements, lack of privacy,the effects of Senate Bill g,further strain
on public services and utilities, concerns with concentrating development in North Saratoga,
preserving agricultural land, protecting wildlife and creeks, pedestrian and bicycle safety,
contaminated soil, and Native American artifact impacts.
Comments received from public agencies included Caltrans and the Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC). Caltrans and the NAHC encouraged the use of applicable CEQA regulations
related to transportation and tribal consultation.The NOP and the written public review
comments are included in Appendix A of the Draft EIR.
The City requested a Sacred Lands File(SLF)search from the NAHC on May 26, 2022.On July 5,
2022,the NAHC responded that the SLF search was completed with negative results and
provided a list of 1.5 Native American tribal organizations and individuals that may have
information about the city.The City of Saratoga completed Native American consultation in
accordance with Assembly Bill(AB)52 and Senate Bill(SB)18. (Related communications are
included at Appendix C-5 of the Draft EIR).
As part of that consultation process,the City sent consultation letters to the 1.5 Native American
tribal organizations and individuals on July ig, 2022,via United States Postal Service(USPS)
certified mail(Appendix C-5,Table C-5.1.). Follow-up emails were sent on August 2, 2022, and
telephone calls were made on September 30, 2022.Three tribes responded: On September 30,
2022,Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Mission San Juan Bautista Chairperson Irenne Zwierlein
during a follow up telephone call requested cultural sensitivity training for construction personnel
prior to ground disturbance under the project, appeared to request notification and possible
additional consultation with the Tribe if a Native American resource is found in implementing the

project.On September 30, 2022, Rumsen Am:a Tur:ataj Ohlone Chairperson Dee Ybarra
indicated that the project was out of their tribal territory and that they do not comment on other
tribal territories unless asked to participate by resident groups.On September 30, 2022,Tamien
Nation Chairwoman Quirina Geary requested formal consultation under SB 1.8 and the City sent
its current general plan,the proposed changes,and the standard mitigation measures for Tribal
Cultural Resources.On November 1, 2022, a teleconference meeting was held with Chairwoman
Geary. She requested to review the proposed Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources mitigation
measures in the Draft EIR when they were available.As a result of the Tamien Nation's requested
consultation, Mitigation Measure CULT-2b(Accidental Discovery of Archaeological Resources)in
the Final EIR requires that if during ground-disturbing activities on proposed housing sites
archaeological resources are discovered that are determined to be of Native American origin,the
Tamien Nation Chairperson will be notified and the Tamien Nation invited to comment on the
find.
The Draft EIR was made available for public review on January 27, 2023 and distributed to
applicable local and State agencies, and transmitted to the State Clearinghouse.Copies of the
Draft EIR were also made available for public review at City Hall and on the City's website. Copies
of the Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR(NOA)were mailed to all individuals previously
requesting to be notified of the Draft EIR, in addition to those agencies and individuals who
received a copy of the NOP, and to members of the public who had indicated interest in the
project though the City's notification platform.
The 45-day public comment period for the Draft EIR ended on March 13, 2023. Only one
local/State agency provided comments on the Draft EIR during the public review period.
The Final EIR was issued for public review on February 2, 2024, and was distributed to appropriate
state and local agencies and made available for public review at City Hall and on the City's
website.Chapter 2 of the Final EIR provides responses to the comments received during the
comment period on the Draft EIR.
The Draft EIR analyzed the development of up to 1.,994 housing units, a scenario slightly different
from what is currently proposed in the Housing Element Update.As a result of changes to
projected accessory dwelling unit(ADU)development and corrections to the number of units
under pipeline/pending projects and vacant sites in the currently proposed Housing Element
Update, in the February 2024 Final EIR,the revised project numbers decreased the housing units
in the Housing Element Update Sites Inventory by 1.37 units to 1,857 units. Furthermore,the
currently proposed Housing Element Update includes and the Final EIR analyzes Housing Mobility
programs to increase housing throughout single-family residential neighborhoods in Saratoga.
These programs could facilitate an additional 738 units.The units associated with the Housing
Mobility programs are in addition to residential units in the Housing Element Update Sites
Inventory, since it is unknown exactly where the duplex/triplex units will develop and when units

associated with this program and units on the religious sites would occur. Since the first draft of
the Housing Element released,the City has also received two applications for Builders Remedy
projects on existing sites in the Housing Element Update Housing Sites Inventory(Pierce Road
and Allendale/Chester)which if approved, could add a total of 184 additional units at buildout.To
be conservative,the Final EIR uses a total unit count of 2,779 for its analysis as shown in Table 1.
This table includes the Housing Mobility units along with the increase in units proposed in the
Builder's Remedy applications for the Sites Inventory.

Implementation of the project is conservatively assumed to result in 1,857units in addition to the
738 housing mobility units, and 184 additional units from Builder's Remedy applications,totaling
2,779 units.This level of buildout is unlikely but, in order to be conservative,this EIR uses the
maximum buildout in order to fully identify and mitigate potential environmental impacts.

September 26, 2023.
C. FINDINGS
The findings,and statement of overriding considerations set forth below(the"Findings")are
made and adopted by the Saratoga City Council as the City's findings under CEQA and the CEQA
Guidelines relating to the project.The Findings provide the written analysis and conclusions of
this City Council regarding the project's environmental impacts, mitigation measures,
alternatives to the project,and the overriding considerations that support approval of the project
despite any remaining environmental effects it may have.
These findings summarize the environmental determinations of the Final EIR and provide a
summary description of and basis for each impact conclusion identified in the Final EIR, describe
the applicable mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR,and state the City's findings and
rationale about the significance of each impact following the adoption of mitigation measures. A
full explanation of these environmental findings and conclusions can be found in the Final EIR,
and these findings hereby incorporate by reference the discussion and analysis in the Final EIR
supporting the Final EIR's determinations regarding mitigation measures and the project's
impacts.
In adopting mitigation measures, below,the City intends to adopt each of the mitigation
measures identified in the Final EIR.Accordingly, in the event a mitigation measure identified in
the Final EIR has been inadvertently omitted from these findings,such mitigation measure is
hereby adopted and incorporated into the project in the findings below by reference. In addition,
in the event the language of a mitigation measure set forth below fails to accurately implement
the mitigation measure in the Final EIR due to a clerical error,the language of the mitigation
measure as set forth in the Final EIR shall control unless the change to the language of the
mitigation measure has been specifically and expressly explained by these findings.Acronyms
used in the mitigation measures shall have the meaning set forth in the Final EIR.The project
includes a General Plan policy and amendments to the Subdivision and Zoning Codes requiring
compliance with mitigation measures adopted in connection with the General Plan and other
plans applicable to a specific application.

EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Sections D and E, below, provide brief descriptions of the impacts that the Final EIR identifies as
either significant and unavoidable or less than significant with adopted mitigation.These
descriptions also reproduce the full text of the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR for
each significant impact.
D. SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS THAT CANNOT BE MITIGATED TO A LESS-THAN-
SIGNIFICANT LEVEL
The Final EIR identified certain potentially significant effects that could result from the project.As
described in greater detail below, after implementation of the identified mitigation measures,the
project could result in the following significant and unavoidable impacts,which will be overridden
by the specific considerations that are described in this document's conclusion in Section H of this
document.
1. Land Use, Agriculture, and Forestry Resources
Impact LU-i: Implementation of the project would allow new development in areas of the
planning area that are designated Unique Farmland, under Williamson Act contract, or
include agricultural zoning.
Mitigation Measure LU-i: Farmland Resources.No mitigation identified.
Findings for Impact LU-i:The City finds that implementation of the proposed project would
result in development of two Hosing Element Update Sites Inventory sites that are currently
under Williamson Act Contracts:Allendale/Chester and Marshall Lane Subdivision housing
sites. However,the landowners of the Allendale/Chester Housing site submitted their
Williamson Act Contract non-renewal notice in September 2o18 such that the contract will
expire in 2028.A tentative subdivision map was approved for the Marshall Land Subdivision
site on October 6, 2021, prior to the initiation of this project.As part of that approval the
Saratoga City Council adopted a resolution for the cancellation of the Williamson Act
contract on the site, allowing the cancellation to go into effect once the final subdivision map
is issued and all applicable fees are paid.The Allendale/Chester housing site is zoned for
agricultural use and has been identified as Unique Farmland by the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program (FMMP). Implementation of the proposed project would result in
residential development at these sites and would result in a significant and unavoidable land
use and agriculture impact.

EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
2. Transportation
Impact TRANS-i: Implementation of the project would generate VMT per resident that is
greater than 85 percent of the countywide average VMT per resident.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-i:VMT Reduction Measures. Because the project would
generate a VMT level (17.98 per resident)greater than the threshold(11.15 VMT per
resident), it would result in a significant transportation impact on VMT.Therefore, mitigation
measures for the project are required to reduce VMT to below the threshold.The TDMs
enumerated below would only apply to residential projects of 10 or more units and to
nonresidential projects of 6,000 square feet or more.
TRANS-1a: It is assumed that residential sites that generate or attract fewer than 110 trips
per day are considered as small projects and would be screened out from further VMT
analysis per the OPR guidelines, and mitigation measures would not be applicable to these
sites. For sites that would not be screened out as small projects,the Santa Clara County VMT
Evaluation Tool should be used to identify measures to reduce VMT to the greatest extent
possible.The evaluation tool evaluates a list of selected VMT reduction measures that can be
applied to a project to reduce the project VMT.There are four strategy tiers whose effects on
VMT can be calculated with the VMT evaluation tool:
• Tier 1: Project characteristics(e.g., density, diversity of uses,design, and
affordability of housing)that encourage walking, biking and transit uses;
• Tier 2: Multimodal network improvements that increase accessibility for transit
users, bicyclists,and pedestrians.These improvements include:
o Increased bike access.
o Improved connectivity by increasing intersection density.
o Increased transit accessibility.
o Traffic calming measures beyond the project frontage.
o Pedestrian network improvements beyond the project frontage.
• Tier 3: Parking measures that discourage personal motorized vehicle-trips.These
improvements include:
o Limited parking supply.
o Bike facilities.
• Tier 4:TDM measures that provide incentives and services to encourage
alternatives to personal motorized vehicle-trips.These measures for residential
developments include:
o School pool programs.
o Bike share programs.
13
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATE E I R MARCH 2024
EXHIBIT—CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
o Car share programs.
o Subsidized transit program.
o Unbundled parking costs from property costs.
o Voluntary travel behavior change program.
TRANS-ib:The City shall develop a citywide VMT impact fee program.The fee would fund
multimodal improvements for safe routes to school, pedestrian improvements like closing
sidewalk gaps,widening sidewalks, and adding crosswalks and pedestrian hybrid beacons,
bicycle improvements like adding bicycle lanes and bicycle racks,trail improvements,and
transit improvements like adding shelters and benches at transit stops in the city. Improved
safety and access to alternative modes of travel like biking,walking, and transit have been
found to reduce automobile use for several trip purposes like shopping, school pick-
up/dropoff, and recreation,and therefore reduce VMT.All new development projects in the
city are expected to be required to pay the impact fee.
Findings for Impact TRANS-i:The City finds the VMT reduction from these measures
included in Mitigation Measure TRANS-1 would vary with each development, and the
maximum reduction typically achieved from these measures is approximately 20 percent.
This is far less than the average 37.7 percent required to reduce the potential impact to a less-
than-significant level. In addition, it may not be possible to apply these standards to projects
that are not subject to discretionary review.While all new development projects in the city
are expected to be required to pay the proposed VMT impact fee, it is not known whether the
projects built with the fee would be sufficient to entirely offset the VMT impact of the
project.Therefore,these measures would not be sufficient to reduce the project's significant
VMT impact.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-1,set forth above, is hereby adopted and incorporated into the
project. Mitigation Measure TRANS-i's effectiveness in reducing an individual project's VMT
impact to a less-than-significant level cannot be determined in this analysis,and this
potential project impact would be considered significant and unavoidable.
E. EFFECTS DETERMINED TO BE MITIGATED TO LESS-THAN-SIGNIFICANT
LEVELS
The Final EIR identified certain potentially significant effects that could result from the project.
However,the City finds for each of the significant or potentially significant impacts identified in
this section that, based upon substantial evidence in light of the whole record,changes or
alterations have been required or incorporated into the project which will reduce these significant
iq
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
or potentially significant effects to less-than-significant levels. Adoption of the recommended
mitigation measures will effectively make the mitigation measures part of the project.
1. Air Quality
Impact AIR-i: Construction of development under the project would generate criteria air
pollutant emissions that could potentially affect regional air quality.
Mitigation Measure AIR-a.:Construction Controls for Criteria Air Pollutants. For
construction of residential projects with more than 13.4 single-family units or zoo multi-family
units,the project applicant shall retain a qualified air quality consultant to prepare an air
quality analysis that identifies measures to reduce the project's criteria air pollutant and
precursor emissions below the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's(BAAQMD's)
recommended thresholds of significance. Emission reduction measures may include, but are
not limited to,the use of off-road equipment with engines that meet the Environmental
Protection Agency's Tier 4 emission standards or engines retrofitted with the most effective
Verified Diesel Emissions Control Strategy(VDECS)certified by the California Air Resources
Board(CARE). Quantified emissions and identified reduction measures shall be submitted to
the City(and BAAQMD if specifically requested)in an air quality analysis for review and
approval prior to the issuance of building permits and the approved criteria air pollutant
reduction measures shall be implemented during construction.
In addition,the project applicant shall prepare a Construction Emissions Minimization Plan
(Emissions Plan)that incorporates all recommendations and measures from the air quality
analysis referenced above for all identified criteria air pollutant reduction measures(if any).
The Emissions Plan shall be submitted to the City(and BAAQMD if specifically requested)for
review and approval prior to the issuance of building permits.The Emissions Plan shall
include the following:
■ An equipment inventory summarizing the type of off-road equipment required for each
phase of construction, including the equipment manufacturer, equipment identification
number,engine model year, engine certification (tier rating), horsepower, and engine
serial number. For all VDECS,the equipment inventory shall also include the technology
type,serial number, make, model, manufacturer, CARB verification number level, and
installation date.
■ A Certification Statement that the Contractor agrees to comply fully with the Emissions
Plan and acknowledges that a significant violation of the Emissions Plan shall constitute a
material breach of contract.
■ Findings for Impact AIR-i:The City finds that construction activities for future residential
developments under the project would generate criteria air pollutant emissions that could
15
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATE E I R MARCH 2O24
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
potentially affect regional air quality.According to the BAAQMD's screening criteria,
construction of individual residential developments with more than 114 single-family units or
more than 240 multi-family units could potentially exceed the BAAQMD's project-level
thresholds of significance for criteria air pollutants.This could have a substantial adverse
impact on air quality and is therefore considered a potentially significant impact.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1 would ensure that the generation of ROG, NOx,
PM1o, and PM2.5 emissions from the exhaust of off-road construction equipment and on-
road vehicles and fugitive ROG emissions for residential developments under the project
would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in criteria air pollutants for which
the region is in nonattainment.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1, set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact AIR-1 to a less-than-significant level.
Impact AIR-2:Construction of development under the project could expose sensitive
receptors to substantial concentrations of TACs and/or PM2.5. (LTS)
Mitigation Measure AIR-2:The following measures shall be incorporated to reduce this
impact:
AIR-2a: Residential Construction Controls for Diesel Particulate Matter. In the areas
defined as needing"Best Practices"or"Further Study"on the BAAQMD's Planning
Healthy Places Map(see https://www.baagmd.gov/plans-and-climate/planning-healthy-
places and Figure IV.B-1),for construction greater than 6 months of residential projects
with five or more units or commercial development of 1o,000 square feet or more,the
project applicant shall apply one of the following two measures:
i) The project applicant shall retain a qualified air quality consultant to prepare a
Health Risk Assessment(HRA)in accordance with current guidance from the Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to determine the health risks to sensitive
receptors exposed to diesel particulate matter(DPM)from project construction
emissions.The HRA shall be submitted to the City(and BAAQMD if specifically
requested)for review and approval. If the HRA concludes that the health risks are at or
below acceptable levels recommended by BAAQMD,then DPM reduction measures
are not required. If the HRA concludes that the health risks exceed acceptable levels
recommended by BAAQMD, DPM reduction measures shall be identified to reduce the
health risks to acceptable levels. Identified DPM reduction measures may include, but
are not limited to, equipping select off-road equipment with the most effective VDECS
available for the engine type(Tier 4 engines automatically meet this requirement)as
certified by CARB or using alternative fuels to diesel (e.g., gasoline, propane, electric).
Identified DPM reduction measures shall be submitted to the City for review and
approval prior to the issuance of building permits and the approved DPM reduction
measures shall be implemented during construction.
16

EXHIBIT—CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
ii) All off-road diesel equipment shall be equipped with the most effective VDECS
available for the engine type(Tier 4 engines automatically meet this requirement)as
certified by CARB.The equipment shall be properly maintained and tuned in
accordance with manufacturer specifications.
In addition to performing one of the two options above,the project applicant shall
prepare a Construction Emissions Minimization Plan(Emissions Plan)for all DPM
reduction measures identified under option i or ii.The Emissions Plan shall be submitted
to the City(and BAAQMD if specifically requested)for review and approval prior to the
issuance of building permits.The Emissions Plan shall include the following:
■ An equipment inventory summarizing the type of off-road equipment required for each
phase of construction, including the equipment manufacturer, equipment
identification number, engine model year, engine certification (tier rating),
horsepower, and engine serial number. For all VDECS,the equipment inventory shall
also include the technology type, serial number, make, model, manufacturer, CARB
verification number level, and installation date.
■ A Certification Statement that the Contractor agrees to comply fully with the
Emissions Plan and acknowledges that a significant violation of the Emissions Plan
shall constitute a material breach of contract.
AIR-2b: Residential Emergency Generators. Require all new emergency generators to use
best available control technology for air pollutant emissions, such as using engines that meet
the Environmental Protection Agency's Tier 4 Final emission standards or are battery-
powered.
Findings for Impact AIR-2:The City finds that there are currently 17 housing sites in the
Housing Element Update Sites Inventory proposed in areas with elevated levels of TACs
and/or PM2.5 pollution. Future residential development within the planning area would
generate TACs and PM2.5 emissions from vehicle trips and emergency generators(if
required), which could substantially contribute to the existing poor air quality in the planning
area and expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.This could have a
substantial adverse impact on those areas and sensitive receptors and is therefore considered
a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measure AIR-2 identifies measures to reduce
potential exposure of sensitive receptors to Toxic Air Contaminants.These measures could
include,as applicable, preparation of a Health Risk Assessment, a Construction Emissions
Minimization Plan, or requirements for emergency generators.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-2,set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact AIR-2 to a less-than-significant level.

2. Biological Resources
Impact 1310-1:Construction of development under the project to adversely affect riparian
areas and other sensitive habitat areas would vary by location. For those identified
development sites located near riparian areas,wetlands,or other sensitive habitat,
construction activities can result in accidental spills near streams and wetlands that could
lead to potential indirect impacts to water quality which could impact sensitive habitats and
special-status species(e.g.,California red-legged frog).Artificial light and glare implemented
with new development can also impact sensitive bird habitat in riparian areas, potentially
influencing nesting behavior. In addition, reflective glass and finishes can result in bird
strikes, resulting in bird injury or mortality. (LTS)
Mitigation Measure 1310-3.: Reducing Potential Glare and Impacts to Riparian Areas and
Birds.The following mitigation measures shall be included as standard conditions of
approval:
1310-sa: Prior to issuance of Building Permits for development projects on parcels including a
creek or stream or abutting riparian areas or sensitive woodland areas,such as oak woodland,
California sycamore woodland, California bay forest, and redwood forest,the applicant shall
submit for staff approval,a Lighting Plan for the project's exterior and landscaped areas.
Proposed exterior lighting shall be limited to full cut off and shielded fixtures with downward
direction illumination so as not to shine on adjacent properties, undeveloped areas,or public
right-of-way and all light fixtures must be certified by the International Dark Sky Association.
For projects on parcels with intervening development that would block light from the
proposed development toward the riparian area,or other sensitive woodland area,this
mitigation would not apply.
1310-i.b: New development projects shall use exterior building materials designed to reduce
light and glare impacts.The use of bright colors,and glossy, reflective, see-through or glare-
producing building and material finishes is discouraged on buildings and structures. No more
than 25 percent of the building's exterior may use bright colors and/or glossy, reflective, see-
through, or glare-producing materials. In portions of structures that are immediately
adjacent to riparian areas or sensitive habitat(i.e., parcels between the proposed
development and the riparian area,or other sensitive woodland area),and directly face
sensitive habitat,such as woodland areas, riparian habitat, streams, and wetlands,the
maximum percent of the building's exterior that may use bright colors and/or glossy,
reflective, see-through, or glare-producing materials shall be no more than io percent.The
following types of exterior lighting are prohibited: mercury vapor luminaires, searchlights,
sky beams, upward-directed fixtures, and aerial lasers.The final design will be reviewed and
approved by the City.
18
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATES El
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
1310-3.c:The City shall require a biological resource assessment for proposed development on
sites with natural habitat conditions that may support special-status species,sensitive natural
communities, or regulated wetlands and waters; unless a qualified biologist determines that
past and/or existing development has eliminated natural habitat and the potential for
presence of sensitive biological resources and regulated waters.The assessment shall be
conducted by a qualified biologist to determine the presence or absence of any sensitive
resources,which could be affected by proposed development, shall provide an assessment of
the potential impacts, and shall define measures for protecting the resource and surrounding
buffer habitat, in compliance with City policy and State and federal laws.
The assessment shall include an analysis of appropriate direct and indirect impacts
associated with the project and infrastructure or other development needed to support the
project,such as, but not limited to:
■ Inadvertent entrapment or impingement;
■ Permanent and temporary habitat disturbance,fragmentation,or loss;
■ Loss or modification of breeding, nesting, dispersal and foraging habitat, including
vegetation removal, alteration of soils and hydrology, and removal of habitat structural
features(e.g., snags, roosts, rock outcrops, overhanging banks, etc.);
■ Loss of connectivity and/or obstruction of movement corridors,fish passage, or access to
water sources and other core habitat features;
■ Decreased ability to reproduce or reduced reproductive/
breeding success(loss or reduced health or vigor of eggs or young);
■ Interference with list-species recovery plan(s);
■ Permanent and temporary habitat disturbances associated with ground disturbance,
noise, lighting, reflection, air pollution,traffic, or human presence resultant from the
project;and
■ Direct mortality(aka"take").
If impacts to sensitive habitat areas are unavoidable, appropriate compensatory mitigation
shall be required off-site within Santa Clara County. Such compensatory mitigation shall be
implemented through the provisions of a site-specific biological resources study.Whenever a
biological resources survey is undertaken to determine the presence or absence of a
threatened or endangered species,or of a species of special concern identified by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service or the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, require the survey
to follow established protocols for the species in question prior to any final determination
that the species is absent from the site.
i9
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE E I R MARCH 2O24
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Avoid nests of native birds when in active use to ensure compliance with the State Fish and
Game Code and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act when construction is initiated on
development sites. If initial vegetation removal and site disturbance can't be restricted
outside the nesting season (September 1 through January 31), a preconstruction survey for
nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologists during the bird nesting season
(February i through August 31.).Where an active nest is found on the site, an adequate
setback shall be established around any nest of a native bird species when it is in active use
until the young have fledged and are no longer dependent on the nest.The nest setback
distance shall be defined by a qualified biological consultant with input from the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, with the setback zone fenced or flagged and all construction
disturbance restricted from this zone until the qualified biologist has confirmed the nest is no
longer in use.
Findings for Impact 1310-3.:The City finds that while the project does not directly propose
any adverse changes to riparian areas,wetlands, or other sensitive habitats,future
development under the project could result in indirect adverse impacts to riparian areas,
wetlands,or other sensitive habitat.This could have a substantial adverse impact on these
areas and is therefore considered a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measures BIO-
sa and BIO-sb would require that when development is proposed near sensitive riparian or
woodland areas, exterior lighting and exterior building materials are designed to reduce light
and glare impacts, and BIO-ic would require a biological resource assessment for proposed
development on sites with natural habitat conditions that may support special-status species,
sensitive natural communities,or regulated wetlands and waters, and would define measures
for protecting the resource and surrounding buffer habitat.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure B10-1, set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact BI0-1 to a less-than-significant level.
3. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
Impact CULT-i:Construction of residential development under the project has the potential
to adversely affect historic archaeological resources.
Mitigation Measure CULT-1:Accidental Discovery of Cultural Resources. If cultural
material is discovered during ground-disturbing activities, all work must halt within 50 feet of
the find until the qualified archaeologist can determine the significance. No soil shall be
exported from within the 50-foot buffer around the find until a determination of significance
is made.The qualified archaeologist will then also determine if continued archaeological
monitoring,testing,or data recovery is warranted.
20
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Findings for Impact CULT-i:While the project does not directly propose any adverse
changes to any archeological, historic, or tribal cultural resources,future development under
the project could affect known historical and archaeological resources or previously
unidentified historical and archaeological resources, including tribal cultural resources.This
could have a substantial adverse impact on those resources and is therefore considered a
potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measure CULT-1 would require specific actions
should cultural materials be discovered during ground-disturbing activities, including halting
all activities within 50 feet of the find and requiring that an archeologist determine the
significance of the find and determine if additional actions need to be taken, including
continued archaeological monitoring,text or data recovery.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure CULT-i,set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact CULT-i to a less-than-significant level.
Impact CULT-2:Construction of development underthe project has the potential to result in
disturbance of sensitive archaeological sites and human remains, including those interred
outside of formal cemeteries.
Mitigation Measure CULT-2:Archaeological and Human Remains Construction Protocols.
The following mitigation measures shall be included as standard conditions of approval for
development under the project.
■ CULT-2a:Cultural Sensitivity Training. Prior to the beginning of ground disturbance,a
qualified archaeologist shall be retained to develop and deliver a short training
presentation that describes what cultural resources may be uncovered during the ground-
disturbing phases of the project and actions to take in case of a find.All workers involved
in ground-disturbing activities and their direct supervisors must receive this training prior
to working on the project.
■ CULT-2b:Accidental Discovery of Archaeological Resources. If potential archaeological
material is discovered during ground-disturbing activities on proposed housing sites, all
work must halt within 50 feet of the find until the qualified archaeologist can determine
the significance. No soil shall be exported from within the 50-foot buffer around the find
until a determination of significance is made.The qualified archaeologist will then also
determine if continued archaeological monitoring,testing, or data recovery is warranted.
If an archaeological resource is determined to be of Native American origin,the Tamien
Nation tribal chairperson will be notified, and the Tribe invited to comment on the find.
The Tribe may request additional consultation at that time.
■ CULT-2c: Halt Construction Activity, Evaluate Find, and Implement Mitigation. In the
event that any previously unidentified cultural resource(historic/archaeological/tribal
cultural resources)is uncovered during site preparation, excavation, or other construction
21

activity, all such activity shall cease until these resources have been evaluated by a
qualified archaeologist and specific measures can be implemented to protect these
resources in accordance with Sections 21o83.2 and 21o84.1 of the California Public
Resources Code.
■ CULT-2d: Halt Construction Activity, Evaluate Remains, and Take Appropriate Action in
Coordination with Native American Heritage Commission. In the event that potential
human remains are uncovered during site preparation, excavation, or other construction
activity, all such activity shall cease until the remains have been evaluated by the County
Coroner within two working days, in accordance with Section 7050.5 of the California
Health and Safety Code. If the Coroner determines that the remains are Native American
they will contact the Native American Heritage Commission(NAHC)within 24 hours. in
accordance with Section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code.
Findings for Impact CULT-2:While the project does not directly propose any adverse
changes to any archeological resources,future development under the project could affect
known historical and archaeological resources or previously unidentified historical and
archaeological resources, including tribal cultural resources.Additionally,excavation and
construction activities under the project may yield human remains that may not be marked in
formal burial locations.This could have a substantial adverse impact on those resources and
is therefore considered a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measure CULT-2 identifies
standard conditions of approval to be incorporated into development associated with the
project, including cultural sensitivity training, steps to be taken should archaeological
resources be discovered during construction, and actions to betaken should human remains
be discovered.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure CULT-2, set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact CULT-2 to a less-than-significant level.
Impact CULT-3: Construction of development under the project has the potential to impact
unidentified tribal cultural resources.
Mitigation Measure CULT-3: Implement Mitigation Measures CULT-2.
Findings for Impact CULT-3:While the project does not directly propose any adverse
changes to any archeological resources,future development under the project could affect
known historical and archaeological resources or previously unidentified historical and
archaeological resources, including tribal cultural resources.This could have a substantial
adverse impact on those resources and is therefore considered a potentially significant
impact. Mitigation Measure CULT-2 identifies standard conditions of approval to be
incorporated into development associated with the project, including cultural sensitivity

training, steps to be taken should archaeological resources be discovered during
construction, and actions to be taken should human remains be discovered.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure CULT-3, set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project, will reduce Impact CULT-3 to a less-than-significant level.
4. Geology and Soils
Impact GEO-i: New development could result in the potential for destruction of
paleontological resources.
Mitigation Measure GEO-i: Paleontological Resources during Construction.Should any
paleontological resources be encountered during construction activities, all ground-
disturbing activities within ioo feet of the find shall be stopped and a qualified paleontologist
shall be contacted to assess the situation per Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards,
consult with agencies as appropriate,and make recommendations for the treatment of the
discovery if found to be significant. If construction activities cannot avoid the paleontological
resources, adverse effects to paleontological resources shall be mitigated as follows: If fossils
are discovered during excavation, Principal Paleontologist or his/her designated
representative will make a preliminary taxonomic identification.The Principal Paleontologist
will then inspect the discovery, determine whether further action is required, and
recommend measures for further evaluation,fossil collection,or protection of the resource in
place, as appropriate.Any subsequent work will be completed as quickly as possible to avoid
damage to the fossils and delays in construction schedules.At a minimum,the
paleontological staff will assign a unique field number to each specimen identified;
photograph the specimen and its geographic and stratigraphic context along with a scale
near the specimen and its field number clearly visible in close-ups; record the location using a
global positioning system(GPS), record the field number and associated specimen data
(identification by taxon and element, etc.)and corresponding geologic and geographic site
data(location, elevation, etc.)in the field notes and in a daily monitoring report;stabilize and
prepare all fossils for identification,and identify to lowest taxonomic level. Upon completion
of fieldwork,all significant fossils collected will be prepared to a point ready for curation.
Preparation will include the careful removal of excess matrix from fossil materials and
stabilizing and repairing specimens, as necessary. Following laboratory work,all fossil
specimens will be identified to the lowest taxonomic level, cataloged, analyzed, and
delivered to an accredited museum repository for permanent curation and storage.The cost
of curation is assessed by the repository and is the responsibility of the Project applicant.A
report to be submitted to the repository museum documenting the results of the
paleontological mitigation monitoring efforts associated with the Project will be prepared by
the Principal Paleontologist.The report will include a summary of the field and laboratory

EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
methods,an overview of the Project area geology and paleontology, a list of taxa recovered,
an analysis of fossils recovered and their scientific significance, and recommendations.
Findings for Impact GEO-s:While unique geologic features have not been identified in the
planning area, many fossil localities have been identified within Santa Clara County, including
several localities potentially located within or near the planning area. Development under the
project would involve excavation and grading that could encounter and damage unique
paleontological resources if appropriate precautions are not taken.This could have a
substantial adverse impact on those resources and is therefore considered a potentially
significant impact. Mitigation Measure GEO-1 identifies steps to be taken should
paleontological resources be encountered during construction activities.These include
stopping ground disturbing activities near the find, consultation with a qualified
paleontologist to determine if evaluation, collection, or further mitigation is required.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1,set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact GEO-s to a less-than-significant level.
One word in the text of Mitigation Measure GEO-i.as it is set forth above in these findings differs
the text of Mitigation Measure GEO-i as it is set forth in the Final EIR:the text in these findings
uses the term"Project applicant"in the sentence"The cost of curation is assessed by the
repository and is the responsibility of the Project applicant,"whereas the text in the Final EIR
instead uses the term"Project proponent."To ensure consistency of phrasing with other
mitigation measures in the Final EIR,these findings specifically and expressly change the phrase
"Project proponent"in this sentence of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 to instead read"Project
applicant".
5. Hazards, Hazardous Materials, and Wildfires
Impact HAZ-s:Contaminated soil or groundwater in the subsurface of residential
development projects could pose a risk of exposure to hazardous materials.
Mitigation Measure HAZ-i:The following requirements related to potential hazardous
materials contamination would not apply to residential renovations/additions(due to the
limited soil disturbance involved with such projects)or properties where past land uses have
included only residential or undeveloped open space(i.e., no previous agricultural, industrial,
commercial, or transportation related use)and where placement of undocumented fill
material has not occurred. Evidence of such past land use must be demonstrated to the City
through historic aerial photos, maps, and/or building department records.
Prior to the City issuing demolition, grading, or building permits for a proposed
redevelopment or development project that would disturb soil(except for residential
24

EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
renovations/additions),the project applicant shall prepare a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment(ESA)for the project site and shall submit the Phase I ESA to the City for review.
The Phase I ESA shall identify proximity to a freeway or major arterial road an environmental
concern due to the potential presence of aerially deposited lead(ADL), and shall identify
former agricultural land use as an environmental concern due to the potential presence of
agricultural contaminants. If any Recognized Environmental Conditions(RECs)or other
environmental concerns are identified in the Phase I ESA,the project applicant shall prepare
a Phase II ESA to evaluate the RECs or other environmental concerns and shall submit the
Phase 11 ESA to the City for review and approval.The Phase II ESA shall include testing for
ADL on any project site that is located adjacent to a freeway or major arterial road and shall
include testing for agricultural contaminants including organochlorinated pesticides and
arsenic on any project site that has been used for agricultural purposes.Testing for
agricultural contaminants shall be performed in accordance with the Department of Toxic
Substances Control's(DTSC'S)2oo8 Interim Guidance forSampling Agricultural Properties
(Third Revision), or more current guidance from DTSC. Phase I and II ESA reports shall be
prepared by a qualified environmental assessment professional and include
recommendations for further investigation or remedial action,as appropriate,for hazardous
materials contamination. Remedial actions may include, but not necessarily be limited to,the
preparation and implementation of a Soil and Groundwater Management Plan, removal of
hazardous materials containers/features(e.g., underground or aboveground storage tanks,
drums, piping,sumps/vaults), proper destruction of water supply wells, removal and off-site
disposal of contaminated soil or groundwater, in-situ treatment of contaminated soil or
groundwater, or engineering/institutional controls(e.g., capping of contaminated soil,
installation of vapor intrusion mitigation systems, and establishing deed restrictions).The
project applicant shall implement the recommendations for additional investigation and/or
remedial actions and shall submit to the City evidence of approvals from the appropriate
federal, State, or regional oversight agency(ies)for any proposed remedial action prior to the
City issuing demolition,grading, or building permits,and following completion of the
remedial action and prior to the City issuing a certificate of occupancy.
If the project applicant indicates that in theirview regulatory agency oversight/approval is
not required for the project based on the findings of the Phase II ESA and/or the proposed
remedial actions,then the Phase I and II ESAs and proposed remedial action plans shall be
reviewed by a third party qualified environmental assessment professional selected by the
City and funded by the project applicant.The third party qualified environmental assessment
professional shall either approve of the proposed remedial actions or provide
recommendations for further investigation,additional/alternative remediation actions,
and/or regulatory agency oversight for the project site,and the recommendations of the
third party qualified environmental assessment professional shall be implemented.
2S
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATE E I R MARCH 2024
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
If any development projects initiated under the project would require the importation of soil
for fill materials, proper sampling of the soil shall be conducted to ensure that the imported
soil is free of contamination according to DTSC's 2001 Information Advisory Clean Imported
Fill Material, or more current guidance from DTSC.The fill material testing results shall be
provided to the City for review and approval prior to the fill material being imported to a
project site.
Findings for Impact HAZ-i:The disturbance of contaminated soil or groundwater during
construction activities could result in impacts to construction workers,the public, and the
environment as dust or vapors containing hazardous materials can be released into the
environment, movement of contaminated soil can spread contamination to new areas,and
construction of landscaping (and in particular stormwater treatment/infiltration features)
over areas of contaminated soil or groundwater could increase the leaching of contaminants
from soil into groundwater or the migration of contaminated groundwater.This could have a
substantial adverse impact on those individuals, areas, and resources and is therefore
considered a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measure HAZ-i.identifies steps to be
taken prior to ground disturbing activities.These measures include preparation of Phase I
(and potentially Phase II)ESA reports prepared by a qualified environmental assessment
professional which would include recommendations for further investigation or remedial
action, as appropriate,for hazardous materials contamination.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ-1,set forth above, which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project, will reduce Impact HAZ-1 to a less-than-significant level.
Impact HAZ-2: Residential development located in areas susceptible to wildfire outside of the
Wildland Urban Interface zone could expose people and structures to an increased risk of
exposure to wildfire.
Mitigation Measure HAZ-2: Prior to the start of development under the project,the City
shall update the City's WUI(wildland urban interface)zone map to account for the current
city limits,which shall include Housing Sites 35 and 38 within the WUI zone.The City shall
work with CAL FIRE and the Santa Clara County Fire Department to make future updates to
the City's WUI zone map to account for any future changes to the city limits and the updated
fire hazard severity zone mapping being prepared by CAL FIRE.
Findings for Mitigation Measures HAZ-2: Residential development under the project in
areas susceptible to wildfire that are outside of the WUI zone on the City's WUI zone map are
not required to comply with the WUI zone-specific Municipal Code requirements.This could
create an increased risk of exposure to wildfire for future occupants of such new
developments(outside the WUI zone),and can increase the risk of wildfire spreading from or
through such new developments to surrounding areas.This could have a substantial adverse
26
MARCH 2024 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
impact on those individuals and areas and is therefore considered a potentially significant
impact. Updating the City's WUI zone map as required by Mitigation Measure HAZ-2 to
include, as applicable, additional properties within updated City limits and updated mapping
prepared by CAL FIRE will result in additional fire safety requirements applying to those
properties.
Implementation Mitigation Measure HAZ-2,set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact HAZ-2 to a less-than-significant level.
Impact HAZ-3: Construction,vegetation management,and maintenance/repair activities
associated with residential development under the project could expose people and
structures to an increased risk of exposure to wildfire.
Mitigation Measure HAZ-3:The City shall update its Municipal Code to require that
contractors or residents performing construction,vegetation management,and/or
maintenance/repair activities in the City's Wildland Urban Interface(WUI)zone(as
established in the most current WUI zone map available through the City's Planning
Department)implement the following measures to minimize the potential for accidental
ignition of construction materials and vegetation:1)store flammable/combustible materials
at least 20 feet away from vegetation and buildings; 2)no vehicles or equipment shall be
driven or parked in areas where vegetation can contact exhaust systems;3)spark arrestors
shall be fitted on all vehicles and equipment and non-sparking tools/attachments shall be
utilized when feasible;4)work that generates sparks or flame such as metal grinding, cutting,
torching, and welding shall only be performed in areas where vegetation/combustible
materials have been sufficiently cleared, combustible materials that cannot be moved are
protected,and fire watch and post-work inspection is performed in accordance with the
Santa Clara County Fire Department's construction site fire safety requirements; 5)potential
spark generating equipment(e.g., mowers, brush cutters, and chainsaws)shall not be used
near dry vegetation during periods of heightened wildfire danger including when Red Flag
Warnings& Fire Weather Watches are issued by the National Weather Service for the area; 6)
an adequate water source and fire extinguishers shall be available nearby at all times for fire
suppression;7)fueling of motorized equipment shall not be performed when the equipment
is running or hot, or near other sources of heat/sparks(e.g.,vehicle exhaust, cigarettes);and
8)smoking shall not be permitted near areas of dry vegetation or areas of flammable or
combustible materials storage.
Findings for Impact HAZ-3:The potential for construction,vegetation management, and
maintenance/repair activities associated with residential development under the project to
increase the risk of starting fires in wildfire prone areas is considered a potentially significant
impact. Mitigation Measure HAZ-3 requires the City's Municipal Code to be updated requiring
27
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE E I R MARCH 2O24
EXHIBIT-CEOA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
additional measures for those performing construction,vegetation management, and
maintenance/repair activities within the City's Wild land Urban Interface(WUI)zone.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ-3, set forth above, which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact HAZ-3 to a less-than-significant level.
6. Hydrology and Water Quality
Impact HYD-i: Development under the project could contribute to the impairment of water
quality by trash.
Mitigation Measure HYD-3.:The City shall install additional full trash capture systems and/or
perform optional trash offsets as necessary to ensure ioo percent trash capture for the city
prior to the implementation of development under the project.The City shall implement
trash capture activities that account for development under the project to ensure that the
city maintains too percent trash capture during the operation of developments under the
project.
Findings for Impact HYD-i:Water quality in Saratoga Creek and San Tomas Aquino Creek is
impaired by trash. Development under the project could generate additional trash which
could contribute to the impairment of these creeks because the City has not yet achieved soo
percent trash capture.This could have a substantial adverse impact on water quality in those
creeks and is therefore considered a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measure HYD-
1 would require installation of a trash capture system,or optional trash offsets,which would
ensure the city maintain soo percent trash capture during operation of developments under
the project.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure HYD-1,set forth above,which is hereby adopted and
incorporated into the project, will reduce Impact HYD-1 to a less-than-significant level.
7. Noise
Impact NOISE-i:Construction of residential development under the project could generate a
substantial temporary increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity in excess of
standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance,or applicable standards of
other agencies.
Mitigation Measure NOISE-1:Construction Noise Controls.The following noise control
measures shall be included as conditions of approval for development adjacent to occupied
noise sensitive land uses that would involve any extreme noise generating construction
activities(e.g., pile driving [impact or sonic], rock drilling,and/or other activities that could
28
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
generate greater than soo dBA at 25 feet). Sensitive land uses for construction noise shall
include residences,schools, places of religious gathering, hospitals, elderly-care facilities,
hotels, libraries, auditoriums, parks,and outdoor recreation areas.
(a) Construction Noise Management Plan. Prior to approval of construction-related permits,
the project applicant shall submit a Construction Noise Management Plan prepared by a
qualified acoustical consultant that contains a set of site-specific noise attenuation
measures to reduce construction noise levels below soo dB where a sensitive land use is
present, in accordance with the City of Saratoga Municipal Code section 7-3o-o6o.The
Plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval and the project contractor(s)
shall implement the approved Plan during construction. Potential attenuation measures
include, but are not limited to,the following:
■ Erect temporary plywood noise barriers between the equipment and adjacent residential
buildings;
■ Implement"quiet"pile driving technology(e.g., silent pile driver or pre-drilling),where
feasible in consideration of geotechnical and structural requirements and conditions;
■ Equipment and trucks used for project construction shall utilize the best available noise
control techniques(e.g., improved mufflers, equipment redesign, use of intake silencers,
ducts, engine enclosures and acoustically-attenuating shields or shrouds)wherever
feasible.
(b) Public Notification. Property owners and occupants adjacent to project sites shall be
notified in advance by writing of the proposed construction schedule before construction
activities commence.
(c) Noise Disturbance Coordinator.The project applicant shall designate a"noise
disturbance coordinator"responsible for responding to any local complaints about
construction noise.The disturbance coordinator shall determine the cause of any noise
complaint(e.g.,starting too early, bad muffler,etc.)and shall ensure that reasonable
measures are implemented to correct the problem(e.g., potentially including erection of a
temporary noise barrier/wall).A telephone number for the disturbance coordinator shall be
posted at the construction site.
Findings for Impact NOISE-i: Certain construction activities,such as pile driving(impact or
sonic)and rock drilling,could generate exterior noise levels that exceed the construction
noise standard established in the City's Municipal Code.This could have a substantial adverse
impact on nearby receptors and is therefore considered a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure NOISE-1 would require noise control measures as a condition of for
development adjacent to noise sensitive land uses.These measures would include approval
of a construction noise management plan, public notification of the construction schedule,
and identification of a noise disturbance coordinator.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure NOISE-i,set forth above,which is hereby adopted
and incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact NOISE-s to a less-than-significant level.

EXHIBIT—CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Impact NOISE-2:Construction of residential development under the project could generate
excessive groundborne vibration levels.
Mitigation Measure NOISE-2:Vibration Analysis.Where new development is proposed in
the vicinity of vibration-sensitive receptors, such as older masonry structures, people
(especially residents,the elderly, and sick), and vibration-sensitive equipment, require a
screening level vibration analysis. If a screening level analysis shows that the project has the
potential to substantially disturb vibration-sensitive activities or result in vibration damage to
structures based on current guidance from the Federal Transit Administration, require a
detailed vibration impact assessment prepared by a qualified professional to determine
appropriate design standards and methods of construction to avoid potential vibration
impacts.The vibration impact assessment shall be submitted to the City for review and
approval priorto construction.The recommendations to attenuate vibrations impacts shall
be implemented during construction. Potential vibration attenuation measures include, but
are not limited to,the following:
O Pre-Construction Survey.Prior to the start of construction, a pre-construction survey
of potentially affected buildings and/or structures shall be prepared by a structural
engineer or other professional with similar qualifications.
o Maximum Vibration Level.A structural engineer and, in the case of a potentially
affected historic building/structure, a historic architect or qualified historic preservation
professional,shall establish a maximum vibration level that shall not be exceeded at
each building/structure near the project.
o Vibration-Generating Equipment.The vibration impact assessment shall identify all
vibration-generating equipment to be used during construction.
o Alternative Construction Equipment and Techniques.The vibration impact
assessment shall identify potential alternative equipment and techniques,such as use
of a vibratory pile driver instead of an impact pile driver,that could be implemented if
construction vibration levels are observed in excess of the established standard.
o Buffer Distances.The vibration impact assessment shall identify buffer distances to be
maintained based on vibration levels and site constraints between the operation of
vibration-generating construction equipment and the potentially affected building
and/or structure to avoid damage.
o Vibration Monitoring.The vibration impact assessment shall lay out the method and
equipment for vibration monitoring.To ensure that construction vibration levels do not
exceed the established standard,the contractor shall monitor vibration levels at each
affected building and/or structure on adjacent properties and prohibit vibratory
construction activities that generate vibration levels in excess of the standard.
Findings for Impact NOISE-2: Construction activities can result in varying degrees of ground
vibration, depending on the equipment, activity, and relative proximity to sensitive receptors.
Construction activities could generate groundborne vibration that exceeds the criteria
established by the FTA at vibration-sensitive receptors.This could have a substantial adverse

impact on nearby receptors and is therefore considered a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure NOISE-2 would require a vibration analysis where new development is
proposed in the vicinity of vibration-sensitive receptors,such as older masonry structures,
people(especially residents,the elderly, and sick), and vibration-sensitive equipment.This
analysis may identify attenuation measures that could include a pre-construction survey, use
of alternative construction equipment or techniques,or vibration monitoring.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure NOISE-2,set forth above,which is hereby adopted
and incorporated into the project,will reduce Impact NOISE-2 to a less-than-significant level.
F. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
An EIR is required to discuss the cumulative impacts of a project when the project's incremental
effect is cumulatively considerable.CEQA Guidelines§1513o(a)."Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of the project are significant when viewed in connection with
the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects.CEQA
Guidelines§1.5o65(a)(3); Pub. Resources Code§21o83(b)(2).
When evaluating cumulative impacts, CEQA allows the use of either a list of past, present, and
probable future projects, including projects outside the control of the lead agency, or a summary
of projections in an adopted planning document.To determine the project's potential cumulative
impacts,the Final EIR considers the effects of the project over the course of the 8-year 6th cycle
planning period(2023-2031)in conjunction with growth and development projections contained
within adopted local plans as well as the El Paseo and 1.777 Saratoga Ave Mixed Use Village and
Costco Westgate projects located in San Jose. For the purposes of analyzing the cumulative
analysis of the project,these local plans include the City of Saratoga's General Plan and Municipal
Code.
The City finds that the project, in conjunction with other foreseeable projects,would not result in
cumulatively considerable impacts.
G. GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS
An EIR is required to discuss growth inducing impacts,which consist of the ways in which the
project could foster economic or population growth,orthe construction of additional housing,
either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. CEQA Guidelines§3.5126.2(d); Public
Resources Code§211oo(b)(5). Direct growth inducement would result,for example, if a project
involves the construction of substantial new housing that would support increased population in a
community or establishes substantial new permanent employment opportunities.
31
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR MARCH 2O24
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
This additional population could, in turn, increase demands for public utilities, public services,
roads, and other infrastructure. Indirect growth inducement would result if a project stimulates
economic activity that requires physical development or removes an obstacle to growth and
development(e.g., increasing infrastructure capacity that would enable new or additional
development). It must not be assumed that growth in any area is necessarily beneficial,
detrimental, or of little significance to the environment. CEQA Guidelines§15126.2(d). Section
VII.A of the Draft EIR analyzes the growth inducing impacts of the project.As explained in
Section I, below,the findings in this Section G are based on the Final EIR,the discussion and
analysis in which is hereby incorporated in full by this reference.
To accommodate the existing and projected housing needs of the City of Saratoga,the Housing
Element is being updated as part of the project to identify 96 housing sites intended to
accommodate the potential for 1,857 new residential units located throughout the city. In
conjunction with identification of these 96 housing sites,the City will rezone 26 of these sites to
allow for residential development or more intense residential development than presently
permitted, along with comparable General Plan amendments which will be required to make the
land use designations of the sites consistent with the zoning.The Final EIR includes Housing
Mobility programs to facilitate an additional 738 residential units. Since the Housing Element was
proposed,the city has also received two applications for Builders Remedy projects on existing
sites in the Housing Element Update Housing Sites Inventory(Pierce Road and Allendale/Chester)
which if approved, could add a total of 184 additional units at buildout.To be conservative,the
Final EIR uses a total unit count Of 2,779 for its analysis.
Using 2020 U.S. Census data,according to which the average household size in the city of
Saratoga is 2.86 persons, development Of 2,779 new housing units under the project would
increase Saratoga's population by approximately 7,948 people. However, actual housing units
and subsequent population growth is anticipated to be lower than project projections.This is in
part because the actual construction of new units will be driven by market forces,the motivation
of property owners,subsidies for affordable housing,and other factors outside the control of the
City, It is also because many of the new units would be ADUs added to existing residential
properties,studio apartments, and one-bedroom apartments, all of which would typically provide
a residence for one or two people. Moreover, existing residents of Saratoga would likely take
advantage of new housing opportunities in the city,which would not add to the city's population.
Additionally, due to the project being proposed and implemented to meet the City's RHNA
requirements as determined by the State Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD)and ABAG for the 2023-2031.planning period, housing sites identified as part of the project
were identified as consistent with HCD guidance which requires the locating of housing sites
according to certain standards.Accordingly, housing sites identified by the project are located
within existing urbanized parts of the city, in proximity to existing or planned infrastructure.
32
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Additionally, as described within the various subsections of Chapter IV, Environmental Setting,
Impacts, and Mitigation Measures of the Draft EIR,the project would accommodate residential
growth and associated population growth in accordance with the City's policies for location,type,
and intensity of residential development, as set forth in the City's Housing Element and Land Use
Element.The project is not fostering or inducing growth; it is planning for and accommodating
population growth that is projected to occur in response to ABAG-mandated RNHA
requirements.The Final EIR fully analyzes the impacts of all growth contemplated in the project.
Secondary or indirect effects associated with this growth do not represent a new significant
environmental impact which has not already been addressed in the Final EIR.
H. FEASIBILITY OF PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
The three project alternatives analyzed in the Final EIR include:
■ Alternative i. No Project Alternative: Under this alternative,the project would not be
adopted,and the additional development associated with implementation of the Housing
Element Update(2,779 housing units)would not occur.The No Project Alternative assumes
that the existing Housing Element would continue to be implemented, and there would be no
changes to the existing Safety Element, other elements of the General Plan, or Zoning
Ordinance.
■ Alternative 2. Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative: Under this
alternative,the Allendale/Chester Housing Site would not be developed, and 12 of the 24
units associated with development at this site would not be developed.
■ Alternative 3. Reduced Vehicle Miles Traveled(VMT)Alternative:This alternative assumes
additional dwelling units(428 units)would be developed within the Saratoga Office Center
and Gateway Sites areas.
The Final EIR includes detailed analysis on the potential impacts of each alternative by
environmental topic.After reviewing the Final EIR and other relevant information in the
administrative record,the Council determines that the three alternatives are infeasible.The
reasons for rejecting each alternative are discussed in this section.The reasons for rejecting each
alternative are independent and each reason alone is sufficient to support a determination that
the alternative is infeasible.
33
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE E I R MARCH 2O24
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
1. Alternative 1: No Project/No Build Alternative
a. Description
Under the No Project Alternative,the proposed project would not be adopted;therefore,the
existing regulatory documents would continue to be in effect.The No Project alternative would
include development that could occur even without the adoption of the project.The existing
Housing Element(2015-2023) identifies a RHNA of 439 units.Approximately 225 units were
developed under the last Housing Element cycle, leaving 23.5 units to be developed during this
cycle. Under the No Project Alternative, any residential development would occur under the
existing zoning;no new zoning districts would be developed or adopted under this alternative.
Mitigation measures would not be applicable to this alternative. However, implementation of
mitigation measures may be proposed on a project-by-project basis as necessary and feasible.
It should be noted that if the City were to adopt the No Project Alternative, it is possible that
additional development would be constructed under a provision of the California Housing
Accountability Act(HAA)called the"Builder's Remedy."If a municipality does not have a Housing
Element certified by HCD,the HAA allows developers of affordable housing projects(i.e., projects
with at least 20 percent low-income or ioo percent moderate-income housing)to bypass the
zoning code and General Plan requirements of cities that are out of compliance with the Housing
Element Law.This can result in development that exceeds adopted development standards(e.g.,
height and density standards)and a city would have a very limited ability to deny qualifying
housing development projects.Thus,the City would have little to no influence regarding the
location, size,and density of proposed developments.Furthermore, if the City were to adopt the
No Project Alternative,the City could face a legal challenge and could be ordered by a court to
adopt a new Housing Element. For these reasons,the No Project Alternative is legally infeasible.
Given the speculative nature of determining the amount of housing that could occur under a
Builder's Remedy situation,this alternative includes an analysis of the 215 units, as described
above.
b. Comparison to Project
The No Project Alternative would not achieve, or would achieve to a lesser degree,the following
project goals and objectives:
■ Housing Element Update Goal is Housing Production and Variety-A housing stock
comprising a variety of housing and tenancy types at a range of prices,within close
proximity to services and opportunity,which meets the varied needs of existing and
future City residents,who represent a full spectrum of age, income, and other
demographic characteristics.
34

EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
■ Housing Element Update Goal 3: Removal of Constraints on the Production of
Housing- Removal of governmental policies or regulations that unnecessarily constrain
the development or improvement of market-rate or affordable housing.
■ Housing Element Update Goal 4:Access to Housing Opportunities-Promote through
community outreach and education housing information and resources designed for
persons with special housing needs.
■ Housing Element Update Goal 5:Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing- Promote
equal opportunity for all residents to reside in the housing of their choice regardless of
their special characteristics as protected under State and federal fair housing law.

vulnerabilities associated with urban and wildland fires.
■ Safety Element Goal SAF-5:A community that promotes a culture of preparedness and
is ready to respond to future natural and human caused hazard events.
■ Safety Element Goal SAF-6:A community prepared for future climate related impacts.
■ 204o General Plan Objectives:Address the General Plan requirements of State law.
c. Findings
The No Project Alternative requires that future development be developed in accordance with
the 2015-2023 Housing Element and under existing zoning. Under the No Project Alternative,
impacts related to the intensity of residential development, location of new residential units, and
increase in height associated with the new zoning districts would generally be reduced, compared
to those of the proposed project.And specifically, under the No Project Alternative, impacts to
agricultural resources would be reduced to less than significant,whereas the proposed project
would have significant and unavoidable impacts on agricultural resources
However, implementing the No Project Alternative would result in a total net reduction in
development potential by 2,564 units and a 1,497-unit shortfall of the City's 61h Cycle RHNA
obligation. Failure to meet the City's 6`Cycle RHNA obligation would result in noncompliance
with State law and could subject the City to a range of penalties including legal suits and attorney
fees, loss of permitting authority,financial penalties, court receivership, and streamlined

ministerial approval processes.Additionally,the No Project Alternative would not meet several of
the project objectives set forth in the Draft EIR.
For the foregoing reasons,Alternative is No Project/No Build Alternative is hereby rejected as
infeasible.
2. Alternative 2: Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative
a. Description
Under the Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative(Preserved Ag Land
Alternative), 12 of the 24 units associated with development at the Allendale/Chester Housing
Site would not be developed as a part of the opportunity sites under the Housing Element
Update—the existing underlying zoning allows for development of 12 units on the
Allendale/Chester Site upon expiration of the Williamson Act contract, and that existing zoning
would continue to apply under this Alternative. However,all other sites identified within the
Housing Element Update would be developed, and all the components of the project would be
adopted.Development under this alternative would result in the construction of 2,755 dwelling
units over the next eight years, which would still fulfill the City's RHNA obligations, but would
reduce the buffer built into the Housing Sites Inventory and would result in fewer parcels
available for development.
b. Comparison to Project
The Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative would achieve to a slightly lesser
degree than the project the following project goals and objectives:
■ Housing Element Update Goal is Housing Production and Variety-A housing stock
comprising a variety of housing and tenancy types at a range of prices,within close
proximity to services and opportunity,which meets the varied needs of existing and
future City residents,who represent a full spectrum of age, income, and other
demographic characteristics.
o Policy i.i: Provide adequate capacity to meet the Sites Inventory for Regional
Housing Needs Assessment(RHNA).
This alternative would allow the city to meet its 6th Cycle RHNA obligations,though with less
margin for development of some sites at lower than maximum densities.This alternative
would result in 12 fewer housing units identified for development than the project and would
thus achieve this objective to a slightly lesser degree.
36
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
c. Findings
The Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative would not develop 12 of the 24 units
associated with the Allendale/Chester Housing Site as a part of the opportunity sites underthe
Housing Element Update. Under the Preserved Ag Land Alternative, impacts on agricultural
resources related to the development of the 24 residential units on the Allendale/Chester
Housing Site would be reduced to less than significant, whereas the proposed project would have
significant and unavoidable impacts on agricultural resources.
Presently,the Allendale/Chester Site is under a Land Conservation Contract(Williamson Act
Contract).This contract between the site's property owner and the City of Saratoga limits the
permitted use of the site to agricultural uses. However, in September 2o18,the property owner of
the Allendale/Chester Housing Site notified City staff of their intent to non-renew their
Williamson Act Contract for the site.Accordingly,the Allendale/Chester site was identified as an
adequate housing opportunity site in the City's 61h Cycle Housing Element.
The Williamson Act Contract restrictions will no longer be in effect after 2028 and the site would
be subject to development under the existing underlying zoning allowing 12 units and the
accompanying loss of open space, inconsistent with the purpose of this Alternative.
Implementation of the Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative would result in a
total net reduction in development potential by 12 units at buildout when compared to the
project and would not provide for long term protection of the agricultural uses.
For the foregoing reasons,Alternative 2: Preserved Agricultural Land Development Alternative is
hereby rejected as infeasible.
3. Alternative 3: Reduced VMT Alternative
a. Description
This alternative assumes 428 units additional to the project would be developed within the
Saratoga Office Center and Gateway Sites areas in the northern part of the city along Saratoga
Sunnyvale Road,which is a major arterial roadway.All inventory sites within the Housing
Element Update would be developed, and all the components of the project would be adopted.
Development under this alternative would result in the construction of 3,207 dwelling units over
the next eight years.This alternative assumes that the Gateway and Office Park parcels would be
rezoned,as necessary,to allow for the development of the additional 428 units.This alternative
would result in an increase in population within the city compared to the project but would likely
result in a decrease in overall VMT per capita given that the additional parcels to be developed
37
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE E I R MARCH 2O24
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
are located in northern areas of the city near commercial and service areas and transit lines,
where residential VMT is low when compared to the southern areas of the city.
b. Comparison to Project
The Reduced VMT Alternative would achieve all the project objectives and would result in a
greater amount of residential development than the proposed project.
c. Findings
This alternative could result in 3,207 units in total, a total net increase of 428 units when
compared to the project. Under this alternative,the City would exceed its RHNA obligations by
1,495 units. However,this alternative would not result in the reduction of any significant impacts
to a less-than-significant level.Additionally,given the overall increase in development associated
within this alternative, implementation of this alternative would likely result in slightly greater
impacts than the proposed project in areas other than VMT.
For the foregoing reasons,, Alternative 3: Reduced VMT alternative is hereby rejected as
infeasible.
4. Environmentally Superior Alternative
In addition to the discussion and comparison of Alternatives, Section 15126.6(e)(2)of the CEQA
Guidelines requires that an"environmentally superior"alternative be selected and the reasons for
such a selection be disclosed.The environmentally superior alternative is the alternative that
would be expected to create the least significant environmental effects. Identification of the
environmentally superior alternative is an informational procedure and the alternative selected
may not be the alternative that best meets the goals or needs of the City.
Typically,the No Project Alternative is considered the environmentally superior alternative in the
strict sense that environmental impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project
would result in the least amount of development of all the alternatives examined. However, as
noted previously, adoption of a No Project Alternative would not result in HCD certifying the
City's Housing Element, which would allow for additional development under the Builder's
Remedy. Given the speculative nature of the timing and type of development that could occur
under the Builder's Remedy,this alternative's analysis only looked at the potential environmental
impacts associated with the remaining RHNA under the existing Housing Element. However, it
should be noted that additional unanticipated development could occur if the City does not have
a Housing Element for the current 2023-2031 planning period that substantially complies with
State Housing Element Law.
38
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
In cases like this where the No Project Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative,
CEQA requires that the second most environmentally superior alternative be identified.
Comparison of the environmental impacts associated with each alternative, as described above,
indicates that the Preserved Ag Land Alternative(Alternative 2)would represent the next-best
alternative in terms of reduced significant environmental impacts.Alternative 2 would result in a
slightly reduced level of residential development and associated population growth (a 12 unit
reduction), compared to the proposed project, and therefore its impacts associated with
population development and growth would be slightly less than the project's. Implementation of
Alternative 2 would further result in reduced impacts compared with the proposed project
because it has a less-than-significant impact to agricultural resources,whereas the project's
impact to agricultural resources is significant and unavoidable. However,Alternative 2 would not
fully meet the project objectives set forth above.
Alternative 3 is not the environmentally superior alternative because although it would result in
slightly lower vehicle miles travelled per capita than the proposed project, overall,Alternative 2
would reduce environmental impacts to a greater extent, because Alternative 2 would reduce the
project's impact to agricultural resources to less-than-significant,whereas that impact would
remain significant and unavoidable under Alternative 3.
For the foregoing reasons,Alternative 2 is considered the environmentally superior alternative.
I. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
These findings incorporate the text of the Final EIR for the project,the MMRP, City staff reports
relating to the project, and other documents related to public hearings on the project, by
reference, in their entirety.Without limitation,this incorporation is intended to elaborate on the
scope and nature of mitigation measures, project and cumulative impacts,the basis for
determining the significance of impacts,the determination of the environmentally superior
alternative, and the reasons for approving the project.
J. RECIRCULATION NOT REQUIRED
CEQA Guidelines Section i5o88.5 requires a lead agency to recirculate an EIR for further review
and comment when"significant new information"is added to the EIR after public notice is given
of the availability of the Draft EIR but before certification. No significant new information was
added to the Draft EIR as a result of the public comment process.The February 2024 Final EIR
responds to comments and clarifies, amplifies and makes insignificant modifications to the Draft
EIR.These modifications include:
39
SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR MARCH 2024
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
• Additional details on the project description to reflect housing mobility programs added
to the proposed Housing Element Update to address comments received from HCD in
July 2023.
• Updates to the potential number of residential units to be developed as part of the
project, beyond those identified in the Housing Elements Housing Sites Inventory,which
resulted updated analysis in the Final EIR.
• Text changes to provide clarity to the analysis, make minor text corrections,or fix
grammatical or typographic errors.
• Text changes in response to comments received on the Draft EIR.
• The addition of text to Mitigation Measure 1310-1 to further reduce the impacts of
development proposed near sensitive riparian or woodland areas.
These revisions do not constitute significant new information regarding the project description,
environmental and regulatory setting, conclusions of the environmental analysis, or in the
mitigation measures or requirements incorporated into the project to mitigate impacts, or
otherwise provide significant new information that would require recirculation of the Draft EIR
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 3.5o88.5.Changes in the numbers of residential units
proposed as part of the project between publication of the Draft EIR and of the Final EIR comes as
a result of updates to the draft Housing Element Update in response to HCD comments to
achieve substantial compliance with Housing Element Law does not constitute a change in the
project requiring recirculation of the EIR.The Final EIR,which includes the updated number of
proposed residential units in the project,analyzes the impacts of development associated with
implementation of the Housing Element Update at a program level,and does not identify any
new significant effects on the environment or a substantial increase in the severity of an
environmental impact. For the foregoing reasons, recirculation of the Final EIR is not required.
K. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Various documents and other materials related to the project constitute the record of
proceedings upon which the City bases its findings and decisions contained herein.The City Clerk
is designated as the custodian of the documents and record of proceedings.Those documents
and materials are located in the City's Clerk's office at Saratoga City Hall, 13777 Fruitvale Avenue,
Saratoga, CA 95070.
L. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance the benefits of a project against its
significant unavoidable impacts when determining whether to approve a project. If the benefits
40
MARCH 2O24 SARATOGA HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENTS,AND 204o GENERAL PLAN UPDATES EIR
EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
of the project outweigh its unavoidable adverse environmental effects, under CEQA Guidelines
section 15093(a),those effects may be considered acceptable.As set forth above,the City has
found that the project will result in significant adverse environmental impacts related to Land,
Agriculture, and Forestry Resources, and to Transportation that cannot be avoided following
adoption, incorporation into the project, and implementation of mitigation measures described
in the Final EIR. In addition,there are no feasible project alternatives that would mitigate or avoid
all of the project's significant environmental impacts. Section 15093(b)of the State CEQA
Guidelines provides that when the decision of the public agency results in the occurrence of
significant impacts that are not avoided or substantially lessened,the agency must state in
writing the reasons to support its actions. See also Public Resources Code Section 21o8i(b).
Having balanced the economic, legal,social,technological or other benefits of the Project,
including region-wide or statewide environmental benefits, against its significant and
unavoidable environmental impacts,the City finds that the project's benefits outweigh its
unavoidable adverse environmental effects, and that the adverse environmental effects are
therefore acceptable.
The following statement identifies the reasons why, in the City'sjudgment based on substantial
evidence,specific benefits of the project outweigh the significant and unavoidable effects.The
substantial evidence supporting the benefits of the project can be found in the preceding sections
of these Findings, in the project itself, and in the record of proceedings as defined in Section K,
above.The City further finds that each of the project's benefits discussed below is a separate and
independent basis for these findings.The reasons set forth below are based on the Final EIR and
other information in the administrative record.
1. Comply with state requirements to accommodate anticipated population
growth and unmet housing needs.
The Housing Element Update promotes development in a manner that would accommodate
anticipated population growth for the City and existing unmet need for housing,as required by
the City's 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation(RHNA).The City is mandated, pursuant
to State Housing Element law,to plan for and accommodate the City RHNA Allocation of 1,712
units as part of the 2023-2031 Housing Element.The RHNA, prepared by HCD and ABAG, reflects
the number of housing units that must be provided to meet the forecast population growth and
the need for housing among the existing population.The Housing Element Update
accommodates this population, along with a buffer in the housing inventory. It does this by
incorporating goals, objectives, policies,and programs in the Housing Element Update, as well as
by making changes to the Land Use Element and Zoning Code necessary to implement programs
in the Housing Element Update and to accommodate the development intensity needed to
satisfy the RHNA.
41

EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
2. Facilitate the development of a housing stock comprising a variety of housing
and tenancy types which meet the varied needs of current and future
residents who represent a full spectrum of age, income, and other
demographic characteristics.
The project would provide a variety of housing options for Saratoga residents across all income
groups.The project accommodates the potential future development of up to 1,857 residential
units on sites in the Housing Element Update Sites Inventory, including 472 units affordable for
very low-income households, 281 for low-income, 289 for moderate-income, and 815 for above
moderate-income.The project also includes units beyond those in the Sites Inventory:738
Housing Mobility units with unknown income levels(zoo new units in duplexes and/or triplexes,
38 SB 9 units,and 5oo units on religious institutional sites)and 184 Builder's Remedy project units
at the Allendale/Chester site and Pierce Road site.The Builders Remedy application for the
Allendale/Chester site proposes 40 low-income and 159 above moderate income units(199 total)
and the application for Pierce Road site proposes 5 low income and 16 above-moderate income
units proposed(21 total).
3. Provide zoning for a residential development in close proximity to services
and opportunity.
Adoption of the Mixed-Use District Zoning Regulations will allow for mixed-use residential
development at greater densities,thereby promoting convenience,economic vitality, and quality
of life.
4. Improve and preserve existing housing stock.
The project will provide adequate,safe, and decent housing for existing Saratoga residents.
Through the implementation of Housing Element programs, existing affordable housing stock
will be retained,displacement will be prevented, and rehabilitation will occur.
S. Improve equal housing opportunities and access to fair housing information.
Implementation of the Housing Element objectives will improve the provision of housing
opportunities for all people and ensure the sale, rental, or financing or housing is not denied to
any individual on the basis of race, ethnicity,sex, national origin, religion, age, or other factors.
The project will also ensure improved access to fair housing information such as anti-
discrimination regulations and how to file a complaint is provided.
42

EXHIBIT-CEQA FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
6. Protect the community from the impacts associated with environmental
hazards.
Implementation of the Safety Element project objectives will mitigate the potential for loss of
life, injury, property damage, and economic and social disruption resulting from natural and
human-caused hazards in the community.The City will be more equipped to address issues
brought on by climate change and other hazards such as fires,floods, droughts, earthquakes,and
landslides.
M.SUMMARY
The City makes the following findings pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21o8i and
CEQA Guidelines section 15o9i:
1. Based on the foregoing Findings and the information contained in the record,the City has
made one or more of the following Findings with respect to each of the significant
environmental effects of the project:
a. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,the project
that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified
in the Final EIR.
b. Specific economic, legal,social,technological,or other considerations, make
infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the Final EIR that
would otherwise avoid or substantially lessen the identified significant
environmental effects of the project.
2. Based on the foregoing Findings and the information contained in the record,the City
determines that:
a. All significant effects on the environment due to the approval of the project have
been eliminated or substantially lessened where feasible.
b. Any remaining significant effects on the environment found to be unavoidable
are acceptable due to the factors described in the Statement of Overriding
Considerations,above.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program(MMRP)was formulated based on the
findings of the Environmental Impact Report(EIR)prepared forthe City of Saratoga 6th Cycle
Housing Element Update,Safety Element Update,and 204o General Plan Update.This MMRP
complies with Section i5o97 of the CEQA Guidelines,which requires that the Lead Agency"adopt
a program for monitoring or reporting on the revisions which it has required in the project and the
measures it has imposed to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects."The MMRP lists
mitigation measures recommended in the EIR and identifies mitigation monitoring requirements.
The MMRP table below presents the mitigation measures identified in the EIR necessary to
mitigate potentially significant impacts. Each mitigation measure is numbered according to the
topical section to which it pertains in the EIR.As an example, Mitigation Measure AIR-i is the first
mitigation measure identified in the EIR in Section IV.B,Air Quality.
The first column of the MMRP table identifies the mitigation measure.The second column
identifies implementation action and responsibility,while the third column identifies the
monitoring schedule or timing,and the fourth column names the party responsible for
monitoring and the required monitoring action.The fifth column provides a place to record
compliance with monitor dates and initials.The City of Saratoga will use these last columns to
ensure that individual mitigation measures are monitored.
