CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS
AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE
APPLE CAMPUS 2 PROJECT
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Cupertino (City), as lead agency under the California Environmental Quality
Act(CEQA),Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., has prepared the Final
Environmental Impact Report for the Apple Campus 2 Project(State Clearinghouse No.
2011082055) (Final EIR). The Final EIR is a project-level EIR pursuant to Section 15161 of the
Guidelines for implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act(State CEQA
Guidelines).�The Final EIR consists of the June 2013 Public Review Draft Apple Campus 2
Project Environmental Impact Report(Draft EIR),the September 2013 Response to
Comments Document, and the October 2013 Supplemental Text Revisions, Apple Campus 2
Project Final Environmental Impact Report.
In determining to approve the Apple Campus 2 Project(Project),which is described in more
detail in Section II,below,the City makes and adopts the following findings of fact and
statement of overriding considerations, and adopts and makes conditions of project
approval the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR, all based on substantial
evidence in the whole record of this proceeding(administrative record). Pursuant to Section
15090(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the Final EIR was presented to the City, and the City
reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR prior to making the
findings in Sections II through XIV,below. The conclusions presented in these findings are
based on the Final EIR and other evidence in the administrative record.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As fully described in Section III of the Draft EIR, the Project involves the consolidation of
several parcels, demolition of existing buildings,and redevelopment of the project site into a
new research and development campus for Apple Inc. (Apple or project sponsor). The site
currently is developed with corporate campus buildings, some of which are being used by
Apple and some of which were formerly used by Hewlett Packard. The campus would be
secure and self-contained and would include office, research and development space,
parking,employee amenities, a Corporate Auditorium, and a Central Plant. In addition, the
Project involves vacating and closing a segment of the Pruneridge Avenue public right-of-
way, iricluding certain access and public service easements, to allow for the development of
a secure and unified campus. As part of the Project, Apple would alter local roadways in the
vicinity of the site in order to accommodate increased traffic generated by the Project. The
1 The State CEQA Guidelines are found at California Code of Regulations,Title 14,Section 15000 et seq.
I-1
Project would result in the demolition of all existing structures within the project site
(consisting of approximately 2,657,000 square feet of building space) and construction of
3,420,000 square feet of office, research, and development uses;245,000 square feet of
auditorium,fitness center, and parking reception uses;92,000 square feet of utility plants;
and parking and ancillary buildings (such as security reception areas and landscape
maintenance buildings).The buildings would be designed to be energy efficient and to use
renewable energy,much of which would be produced on-site.
Apple applied to the Governor for certification of the Project as a Leadership Project
pursuant to the Jobs and Economic Improvement through Environmental Leadership Act of
2011 (AB 900), California Public Resources Code Section 21178 et seq. Among other things,
AB 900 requires that the Project"creates high-wage,highly skilled jobs that pay prevailing
wages and living wages" and that the Project"does not result in any net additional
emissions of greenhouse gases." As required by Public Resources Code section 21183(d),
Apple has entered into a binding and enforceable agreement with the City that all
mitigation measures for the Project shall be conditions of approval and those conditions will
be fully enforceable.
The California Air Resources Board certified on June 14, 2012 that the Project would not
result in any net additional greenhouse gas emissions compared to baseline conditions. In
June 2012, the Governor certified the Leadership Project as an eligible Project under AB 900.
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee concurred with the Governor's certification on July
23, 2012.Apple supplemented its application under AB 900 in Apri12013, and on May 24,
2013, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research found the supplemental application to
be consistent with Apple's original application. As set forth in Section III of the Draft EIR,
the main objective of the Project is to redevelop the project site with a new,unified, and
secure Apple campus. Section III lists the City's objectives and the project sponsor's
objectives for development of the project site. The City's project objectives are as follows:
• Encourage the retention of Apple's corporate headquarters in Cupertino within a world
class corporate campus.
• Allow for the expansion of Apple's operations while enhancing the physical
environment of the project area and being sensitive to community needs.
• Allow for the location and design of Phase 2 of the Project in a way that is sensitive to
surrounding neighborhoods.
• Preserve the City's existing and planned park space.
• Preserve and enhance the historic integrity of Glendenning Barn and provide for its
adaptive reuse and relocation.
• Protect the riparian zone around Calabazas Creek.
• Enhance environmental features within the project area, including stormwater quality
within the City storm drain system and receiving water bodies.
I-2
• Maintain consistency with Cupertino's 2000-2020 General Plan and further General Plan
goals and strategies for economic development,neighborhood connectivity, and urban
conservation.
• Provide connections and enhance walkability/bikeability between the project site and
surrounding areas,while promoting the mobility of Apple employees and the public
throughout the Vallco Industrial Park and the greater region.
• Improve traffic circulation, traffic volumes and level of service (LOS) through a
combination of consolidation of office locations and additional TDM measures.
• Increase the use of landscaping compared to paved parking and thereby enhance the
urban environment, reduce impervious surfaces, and reduce storm water runoff.
• Retain and improve bike and pedestrian connectivity between the project site and
surrounding areas.
• Avoid additional fiscal impacts to the City from the Project by cost reimbursement and
the collection of fees covering the City's actual costs.
• Encourage public art placed in locations visible to the public.
• Increase City revenues from the Project in order to enhance the City's general fund.
The project sponsor's project objectives are as follows:
Primary Objectives:
• Create an innovative and beautiful campus near Apple's Infinite Loop facility that
consolidates many of Apple's engineers and support personnel in a single distinctive
office,research and development building, and supporting facilities. The purpose of
consolidation is to promote shared creativity and collaboration and spur invention of the
next several generations of Apple products.
• Achieve the security and privacy required for the invention of new products by
eliminating any public access through the site, and protecting the perimeters against
unauthorized persons.
Secondary Objectives:
• Maximize green space, and design this space in accordance with the climate and history
of the area.
• Provide on-site amenities for Apple's employees in order to promote employees'health
and well-being and reduce off-campus travel.
• Provide an on-site venue for the introduction of Apple's new products that will generate
surprise and delight, and enable the products to be introduced at Apple's corporate
home.
I-3
• Create a physically unified campus community that improves internal circulation and
eliminates unnecessary access points by consolidating the existing properties within one
campus.
• Create a campus plan that incorporates flexibility to respond to Apple's future business
needs.
• Achieve a net zero energy development by constructing energy-efficient buildings and
generating a significant amount of the campus' energy from on-site renewable sources,
and developing partnerships with renewable energy providers for grid-purchased
renewable energy.
• Minimize use of potable water through the use of drought-tolerant landscaping,water-
efficient fixtures, and recycled water, if available as a result of projects now under
consideration, and improve runoff quality by increasing permeable surfaces.
• Enable a commuting culiure where thoughtful site planning and regional connectivity
coupled with a robust TDM Program prioritize transit and active commute modes.
• Improve traffic circulation while avoiding measures that would unduly restrict
employment growth within the project site.
• Exceed economic, social, and environmental sustainability goals through integrated
design and development.
• Enhance the City's tax base.
• Create a campus that reflects Apple's business and design practices, and allows for a
long-term presence in Cupertino.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS
On August 19,2011,the City issued a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of the Draft EIR. The
NOP was circulated for comment by responsible and trustee agencies and the public for a
total of 47 days,from August 19,2011 through October 5, 2011, during which time the City
held a public scoping meeting on September 8, 2011. Public notices for the scoping session
were mailed to approximately 20,000 households in Cupertino, advertisements were placed
in local newspapers, and the City posted the NOP and hearing notice on the City's website.
Notices were also sent to households in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale within 500 feet of the
project site. Comments on the NOP were received by the City and considered during
preparation of the Draft EIR.
The Draft EIR was made available for public review on June 6, 2013, and distributed to local,
regional, and State responsible and trustee agencies, and to federal agencies. Paper and CD
copies of the Draft EIR were available at the City of Cupertino Community Development
Department, and an electronic version of the Draft EIR and all appendices were posted on
the City's website,which included an electronic comment portal to receive public comment
24 hours a day, seven days a week.Under AB 900, the City was also required to post the
I-4
Draft EIR and all administrative record documents on the City's website. Public Resources
Code��21186(b)-(f). The City continues to make these documents available on its website
for the Project at the following URL:http://www.cupertino.org/index.aspx?page=1107.
Notice of availabiliiy of the Draft EIR was made in several ways. The City sent a postcard
announcing the availability of the Draft EIR to all mailing addresses within Cupertino and
to mailing addresses within 1,000 feet of the project site.In addition, in accordance with
CEQA, the City mailed the Notice of Availability(NOA)to all properties adjacent to the
project site, and on-site notices were also posted on each parcel constituting the project site
and at City Hall. The NOA was also posted on the City's main website and the project
website. The City sent emails providing notice of the Draft EIR's availability to all persons
who had indicated an interest in the Project. A press release was sent out at the same time.
The City also passed out over one hundred of free USB drives that contained the Draft EIIZ
and all technical appendices.
In addition to the City of Cupertino's public review,notification and comment process, and
as referenced in City staff reports, the City is informed that Apple has engaged in a
community outreach process for Apple Campus 2 over the past two years.As part of these
efforts, the City understands that Apple held more than 150 outreach meetings and
presentations with over 2,000 stakeholders;conducted personal outreach with its immediate
neighbors, local residents, neighborhood leaders, surrounding property owners, community
organizations,businesses, government agencies, and other stakeholders in Cupertino and
throughout the region; delivered regular email updates to more than 2,000 interested
residents;visited over 350 Cupertino retailers and nearby businesses to share information
about the new campus; and responded to more than 1,000 questions and requests for
information about the new campus.The 46-day comment period on the Draft EIR ended on
July 22,2013.Agencies, organizations, and members of the public submitted written
comments on the Draft EIR.The City also held a public meeting during the comment period
on June 26, 2013.At that meeting,the City solicited comments real time via web login,
written response card,mail,email, text or recorded interview. The City has also distributed
hundreds of Quick Response coded cards to the community to efficiently comment on the
Project. Section 3 of the Responses to Comments Document provides responses to the
comments received during the comment period on the Draft EIR.
The Responses to Comments Document was issued for public review on September 23,
2013. On October 2, 2013,the City Planning Commission, at a duly noticed public hearing,
recominended that the City Council certify the Final EIR.
The findings, recommendations, and statement of overriding considerations set forth below
(the "Findings") are made and adopted by the Cupertino 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
I-5
that support approval of the Project despite any remaining environmental effects it may
have.
IV. FINDINGS
These findings summarize the environmental determinations of the Final EIR about project
impacts before and after mitigation, and do not attempt to repeat the full analysis of each
environmental impact contained in the Final EIR.Instead,these findings 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 EIlZ has been inadvertently omitted from these findings, such
mitigation measure is hereby adopted and made a condition of project approval in the
findings below by reference. In addition, in the event the language of a mitigation measure
set forth below fails to accurately reflect 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 language of the mitigation measure has been specifically and expressly
modified by these findings.
Sections V through VIII,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 EIlZ for each significant impact.
V. SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS AND
DISPOSITION OF RELATED MITIGATION MEASURES RESULTING IN
SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS
The Final EIR identifies the following significant and unavoidable adverse impacts
associated with the approval of the Project, some of which can be reduced, although not to a
less-than-significant level, through implementation of mitigation measures identified in the
Final EIR. Pub. Resources Code�21081(a)(1). In addition, the City cannot require adoption
or implementation of mitigation measures for some impacts,because they are within the
responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies. Pub.Resources Code§21081(a)(2).
Therefore, as explained below, some impacts will remain significant and unavoidable
notwithstanding adoption of feasible mitigation measures.To the extent that these
mitigation measures will not mitigate or avoid all significant effects on the environment,
I-6
and because the City cannot require mitigation measures that are within the responsibility
and jurisdiction of other public agencies to be adopted or implemented by those agencies, it
is hereby determined that any remaining significant and unavoidable adverse impacts are
acceptable for the reasons specified in Section XIV,below.Pub.Resources Code
§21081(a)(3). As explained in Section X,below, the findings in this Section V are based on
the Final EIR, the discussion and analysis in which is hereby incorporated in full by this
reference.
A. Impact PLAN-2: The proposed project would not fully implement
some policies in the Land Use/Community Design Element of the
General Plan related to the provision of bike and pedestrian access
due to the vacation of Pruneridge Avenue, resulting in an
environmental impact.
The Final EIR finds that the Project will cause the loss of bicycle and pedestrian access on
Pruneridge Avenue due the vacation of the street, resulting in the loss of connectivity across
the project site.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PLAN-2,set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level.This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize
the potential for impacts on bicycle and pedestrian networks. Even though alternative
routes are available, the project will result in the loss of a bicycle and pedestrian connector
that is not being replaced and some impacts would still occur. Therefore, this impact would
remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure PLAN-2:
The project sponsor shall implement the following measures to the satisfaction of the City:
• Fund, construct, and, where necessary, provide dedications of real property(including
costs for planning, design, construction and maintenance), all bike, pedestrian,
landscaping, and sidewalk improvements in the public right-of-way along all properties
bounded by East Homestead Road, North Tantau Avenue, Vallco Parkway, and North
Wolfe Road. In locations where the improvements are adjacent to property with past
project approvals,the design details shall be consistent with all other improvements
approved by the City.
• A coordinated wayfinding scheme shall be introduced along the entire alternate east-
west loop (North Wolfe Road, East Homestead Road, Vallco Parkway, and North
Tantau Avenue).Wayfinding signage shall be designed to orient visitors and residents,
pointing them to area attractions, retail areas, pedestrian and bicycle access routes, and
other important destinations. Signs shall also be designed to direct those on foot or on
I-7
bike to the safest bicycle and pedestrian routes, as well as other bicycle and pedestrian
amenities.
• Enhanced bike lanes, pedestrian paths, fencing, guard rails(if feasible), and pedestrian-
scaled lighting shall be installed along the North Wolfe Road bridge over I-280.
• Other bicycle and pedestrian amenities, such as high visibility crosswalks, "yield to
pedestrians" signage,leading pedestrian intervals at signalized intersections, and other
publically accessible amenities (e.g.,bicycle racks,benches, attractive pedestrian-
oriented lighting, and landscaping) along the project site perimeter shall be installed.
These amenities shall be designed to improve the safety and attractiveness of alternaHve
modes of travel within the vicinity of the project site.
• Implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-23 (as adopted) and Mitigation Measures
TRANS-28 (to improve pedestrian safety at the North Wolfe Road/Project Access
intersection);TRANS-29 (to enhance the pedestrian environment at the I-280 ramps with
Wolfe Road); and PLAN-3 (to construct an alternate Calabazas Creek pedestrian/bike
trail).
• Update American with Disabilities Act(ADA) ramps at the following locations: Vallco
Mall overpass on North Wolfe Road;northbound North Wolfe Road at I-280 south on-
ramp,with updated crosswalk striping;northbound North Wolfe Road at I-280 north
on-ramp,with updated crosswalk striping;west side of North Wolfe Road at Pruneridge
Avenue; and southbound North Wolfe Road at I-280 south off-ramp, with updated
crosswalk striping.
B. Impact PLAN-3: The proposed project would not fully implement
policies in the Land Use/Community Design Element of the General
Plan related to the provision of a proposed trail segment along
Calabazas Creek, and this conflict would result in an environmental
impact.
The Final EIR finds that the Project will cause Land Use/Community Design policies of the
General Plan to not be fully implemented,because access to the interior of the site will be
restricted;therefore, a proposed trail segment along Calabazas Creek cannot be constructed.
The Final EIR recognizes that the General Plan allows flexibility in the implementation of
trails and that the City must evaluate safety, privacy, and security impacts and mitigations
associated with trail development, and work with affected neighborhoods in locating trails.
Nevertheless, the Final EIR identifies the loss of a planned segment of the Calabazas Creek
trail as a significant and unavoidable impact.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PLAN-3, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level.This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to provide
alternative pedestrian and bicycle amenities,but some impacts could still occur. Therefore,
this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
I-8
Mitigation Measure PLAN-3:
The project sponsor shall implement the following measures to the satisfaction of the City,
as illustrated in Figure IV-3 of the Draft EIR:
a. Fund and construct to the satisfaction of the City a pedestrian/bike alternate creek
trail extending from the intersection of North Tantau Avenue and Calabazas Creek,
south to Vallco Parkway, on both sides of North Tantau Avenue, and then west
along the north side of Vallco Parkway to the intersection of Calabazas Creek. This
funding shall account for planning, design, collaboration with other agencies, and
construction and maintenance of the alternate trail route. The trail shall include a
combination of the following features that reference Calabazas Creek:
• Signage along the route including both wayfinding/maps and information on
creek habitat and ecology;
• Appropriate plantings that mimic creek-side habitats and provide a linear
reference point between the creek-side portions of the trail and the trail detour
(wherever possible);
• Special pedestrian scaled lighting;
• Rest areas or picnic tables at trail intersections along North Tantau Avenue and
Vallco Parkway, as feasible, to highlight the route's recreational nature while also
not diminishing its role as a transportation route;
• Additional recreational amenities such as water fountains and trash receptacles;
• Appropriate pavement treatments that reference the creek and/or water; and
• DecoraHve fencing and/or guard rails on North Tantau Avenue along the bridge
over Calabazas Creek and the bridge over I-280 and where the creek meets
Vallco Parkway,that reference the creek and strengthen the linear connection
between the creek and the trail detour.
b. Partially fund, in the sum of$250,000, a study of a full Class I separated trail,where
rights-of-way are adequate, along the drainage channel that runs parallel to
southbound I-280 between North De Anza Boulevard and Calabazas Creek, and then
south along the western bank of Calabazas Creek to Vallco Parkway. The study
would only assess the feasibility of such a trail in the general area. If the City
determines such a trail is feasible and determines to carry out the project, the trail
would be subject to further environmental review and subsequent approvals. The
potential future trail would connect to the project-related bicycle lane improvements
on North Tantau Avenue and Vallco Parkway. The east-west connection would be
publicly-accessible and would be used for commuting and recreation.
I-9
C. Impact PLAN-5: The proposed project would not fully implement
several provisions of the Circulation Element of the General Plan
related to the provision of trails and the provision of bike and
pedestrian access, and these conflicts would result in an
environmental impact.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would not fully support all of the elements in Policy 4-3
of the Circulation Element of the General Plan due to the vacation of a portion of Pruneridge
Avenue and the inability to construct a pedestrian and bicycle trail along Calabazas Creek.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PLAN-5, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level. This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to reduce
the impact to bicycle and pedestrian circulation,but some impacts could still occur.
Therefore, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure PLAN-5:
Implement Mitigation Measures PLAN-2 and PLAN-3.
D. Impact PLAN-6: The proposed project would not fully implement
provisions of the Environmental Resources/Sustainability Element
of the General Plan related to the provision of trails and the
provision of bike and pedestrian access, and these conflicts would
result in an environmental impact.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would result in significant adverse environmental effects
related to the diminishment of public bicycle and pedestrian access along Calabazas Creek,
which will not fully implement provisions of the Environmental Resources/Sustainability
Element of the General Plan.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PLAN-6, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level. This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize
impacts to bicycle and pedestrian access,but some impacts could still occur. Therefore, this
impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure PLAN-6:
Implement Mitigation Measures PLAN-2 and PLAN-3.
I-10
E. Impact LU-1: The proposed project would not be fully consistent
with applicable land use plans and policies adopted for the purpose
of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would not fully implement policies in the General Plan
related to the development of parks and open space, the provision of trails,the provision of
bicycle and pedestrian access, and the protection of a historic resource (if not appropriately
relocated and preserved).
Implementation of Mitigation Measure LU-1, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-than-
significant level.This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
impacts related to the loss of the Parks and Open Space designation within the site and the
relocation of the Glendenning Barn, to a less-than-significant level. However,impacts
related to the closure of a portion of Pruneridge Avenue within the project site and the lack
of provision of a segment of the Calabazas Creek trail would remain.Therefore, this impact
would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure LU-1:
Implement Mitigation Measures PLAN-1,PLAN-2, PLAN-3, and CULT-1.
F. Impact TRANS-1: Under Existing plus Proj ect Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause intersection #21
Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps to operate at an unacceptable
level (change from LOS B to LOS E) during the AM peak hour based
on City of Cupertino LOS standards.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable condiHons or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#21 Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramp
during the AM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-1, set forth below, would reduce these
impacts to an acceptable level. Mitigation Measure TRANS-1 is hereby adopted.As a
condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-1, including seeking approval from Caltrans, and, if approved, shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-1. If successfully implemented, this mitigation
measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts on existing
traffic conditions.However,because the off-ramp intersection is under the jurisdiction of
Caltrans,which can and should adopt and implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-1, the
City of Cupertino cannot ensure the implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-1 and
the impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
I-11
Mitigation Measure TRANS-1:
As part of the project, the project sponsor would construct an additional westbound lane at
intersection#21 Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps to provide for dual left-turn and dual
right-turn lanes.With the additional lane, the intersection would operate at acceptable LOS
B (17.1 seconds) during the AM peak hour.
G. Impact TRANS-3: Under Existing plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause intersection #36
Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) to
operate at an unacceptable level (change from LOS D to LOS F)
during the PM peak hour based on CMP guideline.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#36 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert
Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) during the PM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-3, set forth below, would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-3 is hereby adopted.As
a condition of project approval,the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-3, including seeking approval from Caltrans and the City of Santa Clara,
and, if approved, shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-3. If implemented
successfully, this mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
potential for impacts on existing traffic conditions. However, this intersection is a CMP
intersection and is located within the City of Santa Clara and is also under the jurisdiction of
Caltrans. Both the City of Santa Clara and Caltrans can and should adopt Mitigation
Measure TRANS-3. Therefore, the City cannot ensure the implementation of Mitigation
Measure TRANS-3 and the impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-3:
At intersection#36 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert Drive/I-280 Ramps (west), the project
sponsor shall construct an exclusive eastbound right-turn lane (for a total of three through
lanes and one right-turn lane) and provide an eastbound right-turn overlap phase. This
would improve intersection operations to acceptable LOS E+. To accommodate the added
lane the existing buffer between the roadway and sidewalk would need to be eliminated
and the sidewalk pushed closer to the existing fence on the south side of Stevens Creek
Boulevard. This mitigation measure would also require relocation of an existing streetlight,
fire hydrant, and utility pole. The project sponsor would be required to coordinate with the
City of Santa Clara and Caltrans to construct the identified physical improvement at the
Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert Drive/I-280 Ramp (west) intersection.
I-12
H. Impact TRANS-5: Under Background plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause intersection #21
Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps to operate at an unacceptable
level (change from LOS B to LOS E) during the AM peak hour based
on City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#21 Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps
during the AM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-5,set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-5 is hereby adopted.As
a condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-5, including seeking approval from Caltrans, and, if approved, shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-5. If implemented successfully, this mitigation
measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts on existing
traffic conditions. However,the off-ramp intersection is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans,
which can and should adopt Mitigation Measure TRANS-5. Therefore, the City of Cupertino
cannot ensure the implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-5 and the impact is
considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-5:
TRANS-5: At intersection#21 Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps, the project sponsor
shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-1 (provide dual left-and right-turn lanes on
the off-ramp), which would improve intersection operations to acceptable LOS B (18.0
seconds).
I. Impact TRANS-9: Under Background plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would exacerbate unacceptable
operations of intersection #36 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert
Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) during the PM peak hour based on CMP
guidelines.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#36 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert
Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) during the PM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to an acceptable level. Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a is hereby adopted.As a
condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-9a, including seeking approval from Caltrans and the City of Santa Clara,
and, if approved, shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a. If successfully
I-13
implemented, this mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
potential for impacts on existing traffic conditions. However,because the intersection is
under the jurisdiction of Caltrans and the City of Santa Clara,which can and should adopt
and implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a, the City of Cupertino cannot ensure the
implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a. The impact is therefore considered
significant and unavoidable.
In addition, implementation of Mitigation Measures TRANS-9b, set forth below,which is
hereby adopted and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but
not to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-9b would provide for
specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts on existing traffic conditions,but some
impacts could still occur. Therefore, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a:
At intersection#36 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert Drive/I-280 Ramps (west),the project
sponsor shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-3 (add exclusive eastbound right-turn
lane),which would improve intersection operations to 112.2 seconds (LOS F). However, the
Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) intersection would continue to
operate unacceptably.Providing a channelized free right-turn lane with a third eastbound
receiving lane on the connector link between Stevens Creek Boulevard and Lawrence
Expressway, for a distance of approximately 1,250 feet including a pedestrian-actuated
traffic signal to allow for protected pedestrian crossings to the pedestrian refuge island,
would improve intersection operations to LOS D+with 38.6 seconds of delay.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-9b:
The project sponsor shall expand the TDM program to reduce the severity of the impact per
the TDM Program Expansion subsection Increasing the TDM participation and associated
alternative mode share from 28 percent to 34 percent would improve operations to LOS F
(142.8 seconds)without implementation of TRANS-3;however it would not reduce the
impact to a less-than-significant level. A robust monitoring program is identified in the
TDM Program Expansion subsection and shall be required to ensure that this TDM program
mitigation measure is implemented and that the required trip reduction is achieved. Details
of the TDM program are set forth in the TDM Program Expar2sion subsection on pages 441-
447 and Figure VI-11 of the Draft EIR.
I-14
J. Impact TRANS-14:�nder Background plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause operations of
intersection #40 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Lawrence Expressway
Ramps (east) to operate at an unacceptable level (change from LOS D
to LOS F) during the AM peak hour based on CMP guidelines.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#40 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Lawrence
Expressway Ramps (east) during the AM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-10, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-10 is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-10, including seeking approval from the City of Santa Clara, and, if
approved, shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-10. If successfully implemented,
this miHgation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for
impacts on existing traffic conditions.However,this intersection is a CMP intersection
located within the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Clara,which can and should adopt and
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-10. Therefore, the City cannot ensure
implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-10 and the impact is considered significant
and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-10:
At intersection#40 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Lawrence Expressway(east)the project
sponsor shall construct a northbound left-turn lane (for a total of two exclusive left-turn
lanes, one shared left-turn/through lane, and shared through/right-turn lane) from
northbound Lawrence Expressway to westbound Stevens Creek Boulevard. This mitigation
would improve intersection operaHons to LOS D (49.7 seconds). This improvement is
physically feasible;however,it would require the construction of a retaining wall and
modifications to the eastbound approach to accommodate the additional left-turn lane. The
project sponsor would be required to coordinate with VTA, City of Santa Clara, and other
responsible agencies to construct the identified physical improvement at the Stevens Creek
Boulevard/Lawrence Expressway Ramps (east)intersection.
I-15
K. Impact TRANS-11: Under Background plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause operations of
intersection #41 Lawrence Expressway/I-280 Southbound Ramps to
operate at an unacceptable level (change from LOS E to LOS F) during
the PM peak hour based on CMP guidelines.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#41 Lawrence Expressway/I-280
Southbound Ramps during the PM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-11, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-11 is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-11, including seeking approval from Caltrans and the County of Santa
Clara, and,if approved, shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-11. If successfully
implemented, this mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
potential for impacts on existing traffic conditions. This intersection is a CMP intersection on
a County expressway and portions are likely within Caltrans right-of-way. Both the County
and Caltrans can and should adopt and implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-11. The
project sponsor would be required to coordinate with VTA, the County of Santa Clara, and
other responsible agencies to construct the identified physical improvement at the Lawrence
Expressway/I-280 Ramps intersection.Because this intersection is outside of the City of
Cupertino's jurisdiction,the City cannot ensure implementation of Mitigation Measure
TRANS-11 and the impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-11 would require widening the existing bridge that crosses the
creek running parallel to the west side of Lawrence Expressway. The widening would cause
secondary impacts to the creek.Potential secondary impacts to the creek associated with
widening the existing bridge as a traffic mitigation measure are addressed in Draft EIR
Section V.D,Biological Resources.Mitigation Measures BIO-1 and BIO-3, adopted in Section
VI below,would reduce these secondary impacts to a less-than-significant level.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-11:
At intersection#41 Lawrence Expressway/I-280 Southbound Ramps, the project sponsor
shall construct an exclusive eastbound through lane (for a total of one shared left-
turn/through lane, one through lane, and one right-turn lane), which would improve
intersection operations to acceptable LOS E+(56.9 seconds). The mitigation measure would
require the construction of a new retaining wall along I-280, since Calvert Road would need
to be curved to properly align with two receiving lanes at the on-ramp. There is existing
right-of-way to accommodate this mitigation measure.
I-16
L. Impact TRANS-13: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause intersection#8 De
Anza Boulevard/Stevens Creek Boulevard to operate at an
unacceptable level (change from LOS E+to LOS E) during the PM
peak hour based on City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#8 De Anza Boulevard/Stevens Creek
Boulevard during the PM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-13a, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level. However, this improvement is not physically
feasible,because widening the roadway to accommodate the southbound right-turn lane
would impact an underground garage belonging to the office development on the
northwest corner of the De Anza Boulevard/Stevens Creek Boulevard intersection.For this
reason,Mitigation Measure TRANS-13a is hereby rejected.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures TRANS-13b and TRANS-13c, set forth below,
which are hereby adopted and made conditions of project approval, would reduce these
impacts,but not to a less than significant level.
Because Mitigation Measure TRANS-13a is infeasible and implementation of Mitigation
Measures TRANS-13b and TRANS-13c would not reduce the impact to a less than
significant level, the impact at the De Anza Boulevard/Stevens Creek Boulevard intersection
is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-13a:
At intersection#8 De Anza Boulevard/Stevens Creek Boulevard, the provision ot an
exclusive southbound right-turn lane (for a total of two left-turn lanes, four through lanes,
and one right-turn lane)and adjusting the signal timings to accommodate the added turn
lane would improve intersection operations to acceptable levels at LOS E+with 58.9 seconds
of average delay. However, this improvement is physically not feasible, since the widening
of the roadway to accommodate the southbound right-turn lane would impact an
underground garage belonging to the office development on the northwest corner of the De
Anza Boulevard/Stevens Creek Boulevard intersection;therefore the impact at the De Anza
Boulevard/Stevens Creek Boulevard intersection is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-13b:
The project sponsor shall expand the TDM program to reduce the severity of the impact.
Increasing the TDM participation and associated alternative mode share from 28 percent to
I-17
34 percent would improve operations to LOS E (62.1 seconds);however,the increase in
TDM participation would not reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-13c:
The project sponsor shall provide a$50,000 fair-share contribution towards the
implementation of a traffic-adaptive traffic signal system along De Anza Boulevard between
Homestead Road and Rainbow Drive.Implementation of an adaptive traffic signal system
will improve intersection operations;however, it will not reduce the impact to a less-than-
significant level.
M. Impact TRANS-14. Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause intersection #21
Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps to operate at an unacceptable
level (change from LOS B to LOS E) during the AM peak hour based
on City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#21 Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps
during the AM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-14, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-14 is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval,the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-14, including seeking approval from Caltrans, and, if approved, shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-14. If successfully implemented,this mitigation
measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts on existing
traffic conditions. However,because the intersection is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans,
which can and should adopt and implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-14, the City of
Cupertino cannot ensure the implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-14 and the
impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-14:
At intersection#21 Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps, the project sponsor shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-1 (provide dual left-and right-turn lanes), which
would improve intersection operations to acceptable LOS B (18.1 seconds).
I-18
N. Impact TRANS-19: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would exacerbate unacceptable
operations of intersection#36 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert
Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) during the PM peak hour based on CMP
guidelines.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#36 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Calvert
Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) during the PM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-19a, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-19a is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-19a,including seeking approval from Caltrans and the City of Santa Clara,
and, if approved, shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-19a.These mitigation
measures would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts on existing
traffic conditions. However, there are right-of-way constraints that make Mitigation
Measure TRANS-19a infeasible. Additionally, this intersection is within the responsibility
and jurisdiction of the City of Santa Clara,which can and should implement Mitigation
Measure TRANS-19a if the right-of-way constraints can be addressed. The City has no
responsibility or jurisdiction over the implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-19a
and cannot ensure its implementation. Therefore, the impact is considered significant and
unavoidable.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-19b, set forth below,which is hereby
adopted and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a
less than significant level. Therefore, the impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-19a:
Potential physical improvements as mitigation measures for intersection#36 Stevens Creek
Boulevard/Calvert Drive/I-280 Ramps are discussed under Mitigation Measure TRANS-9
(add two exclusive eastbound right-turn lanes). However, there are right-of-way constraints
that render this mitigation measure infeasible.Additionally, this intersection is within the
City of Santa Clara, and the City has no control over the implementation of the mitigation
measure;therefore the impact is considered significant and unavoidable.The project
sponsor shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a(add free eastbound right-turn
lane), which would improve intersection operations to LOS D (41.5 seconds). This
improvement would reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level. However,because
this intersection is under City of Santa Clara and Caltrans jurisdiction, the City cannot
guarantee that the improvement would be constructed and the impact is considered
significant and unavoidable.
I-19
Mitigation Measure TRANS-19b:
The project sponsor shall expand the TDM program to reduce the severity of the impact
(Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a). Increasing the TDM participation and associated
alternative mode share from 28 percent to 34 percent would improve operations to LOS F
(145.8 seconds)without implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-9a;however the
increase in TDM participation would not reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level.
O. Impact TRANS-20: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause operations of
intersection #40 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Lawrence Expressway
Ramps (east) to operate at an unacceptable level (change from LOS D
to LOS F) during the AM peak hour based on CMP guidelines.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#40 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Lawrence
Expressway Ramps (east) during the AM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-20, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-20 is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval,the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-20, including seeking approval from the City of Santa Clara, and, if
approved, shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-20. If successfully implemented,
this mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize potential for impacts
on existing traffic conditions. However, this intersection is located within the jurisdiction of
the City of Santa Clara,which can and should adopt and implement Mitigation Measure
TRANS-20. The City of Cupertino therefore cannot guarantee implementation of Mitigation
Measure TRANS-20 and the impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-20:
For intersection#40 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Lawrence Expressway Ramps (east), the
project sponsor shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-10 (add exclusive northbound
left-turn lane), which would improve intersection operations to LOS D- (52.3 seconds).
I-20
P. Impact TRANS-21: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause operations of
intersection #41 Lawrence Expressway/I-280 Southbound Ramps to
operate at an unacceptable level (change from LOS E to LOS F) during
the PM peak hour based on CMP guidelines.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at intersection#41 Lawrence Expressway/I-280
Southbound Ramps during the PM peak hour due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-21, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-21 is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-21, including seeking approval from the County of Santa Clara, and,if
approved, shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-21. If successfully implemented,
this mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for
impacts on existing traffic conditions. This intersection is a CMP intersection located within
the jurisdiction of the County of Santa Clara,which can and should adopt and implement
Mitigation Measure TRANS-21. The City of Cupertino therefore cannot ensure the
implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-21 and the impact is considered significant
and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-21:
For intersection#41 Lawrence Expressway/I-280 Ramps, the project sponsor shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-11 (add exclusive eastbound through lane),which
would improve intersection operations to acceptable LOS E+(58.3 seconds).
Q. Impact TRANS-22: Completion of the proposed project would add
substantial amounts of traffic to the twenty-nine mixed flow
segments and three HOV freeway segments operating at LOS F,
below.
• I-280, Southbound, El Monte to Magdalena
• I-280,Northbound, SR 85 to FooEhill Expressway
• I-280, Southbound, Foothill Expressway to SR 85
• I-280, Southbound, SR 85 to De Anza Boulevard
• I-280, Southbound,De Anza Boulevard to Wolfe Road
• I-280,Northbound,Lawrence Expressway to Wolfe Road
• I-280, Southbound,Wolfe Road to Lawrence Expressway/Stevens Creek
Boulevard
• I-280,Northbound, Saratoga Avenue to Lawrence Expressway/Stevens Creek
Boulevard
I-21
• I-280, Southbound,Lawrence Expressway/Stevens Creek Boulevard to Saratoga
Avenue
• I-280,Northbound,Winchester Boulevard to Saratoga Avenue
• I-280,Northbound,Winchester Blvd to I-880
• I-280, Southbound,Winchester Blvd to I-880

• SR 85, Southbound, SR 17 to Bascom Avenue
• SR 85,Northbound, SR 17 to Bascom Avenue+HOV
• SR 85,Southbound,Bascom Avenue to Union Avenue
• SR 85,Northbound,Bascom Avenue to Union Avenue
• SR 85,Northbound,Union Avenue to Carnden Avenue
• I-880, Southbound,Bascom Avenue to Steven Creek Boulevard
The Final EIR finds that the Project could impact these freeway segments under the Existing
Plus Project Conditions based on CMP guidelines.The Draft EIIZ identified that the Project
would have a significant and unavoidable impact on the level of service of freeway
segments because the project would contribute greater than 1% additional traffic to 10
mixed flow segments and one HOV freeway segment operating at LOS F. Additional study
of freeway segments was conducted following comments received on the Draft EIR, which
refined this impact to include additional freeway segments. The percentage traffic increase
from project traffic in the newly identified segments would not exceed the percentage traffic
increase from project traffic identified in the previously impacted segments. As a result, the
intensity of the impact has not increased. In addition, the newly identified segments include
segments that are more distant from the project site and thus the project contributes fewer
new trips to these newly identified segments. Therefore, there is no new significant impact
or substantial increase in the severity of this significant and unavoidable impact.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-22, set forth below would reduce these
impacts,but not to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-22 is hereby
adopted. As a condition of project approval,the project sponsor shall diligently pursue
I-22
Mitigation Measure TRANS-22, including seeking approval from VTA, and, if approved,
shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-22. If successfully implemented, this
mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts
on existing traffic conditions,but some impacts could still occur. Additionally, it is unlikely
that the Express Lane or BRT project would be implemented prior to project completion and
that these improvements would reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level. In
addition,Mitigation Measure TRANS-22 is within the responsibility and jurisdiction of
VTA, which can and should adopt and implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-22. The City
of Cupertino therefore cannot ensure implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-22 and
the impact to the freeway segments is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-22:
The project sponsor shall pay a$1,292,215 fair share contribution towards planned
transportation projects that would improve traffic operations of the impacted freeway
segments and provide added transportation capacity on parallel facilities: (1) SR 85 Express
Lane project(converting the existing HOV lane to a toll lane to allow single occupant
vehicles to drive in the HOV lane for a fee)between Mountain View and San Jose; (2)
eliminating the existing bottleneck on southbound I-280 between El Monte Avenue and
Magdelena Avenue; and(3)either the Bus Rapid Transit(BRT) stations proposed within
Cupertino, or an alternative improvement or study towards the improvement of the
impacted I-280 corridor or a parallel corridor that would provide capacity relief for the I-280
corridor or a parallel corridor that would provide capacity.The fair share contribution
amount was calculated in consultation with VTA staff based on the project's contribution to
project growth on the impacted freeway segment.
R. Impact TRANS-25: As part of the project,the project sponsor would
widen the northbound I-280 off-ramp at Wolfe Road to accommodate
two lanes and reduce excessive queue spillback onto the freeway. If
Caltrans does not approve this improvement, excessive queue
spillback would occur (City of Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project could exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at the northbound I-280 off-ramp at Wolfe Road due to
increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-25, set forth below, would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-25 is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-25, including seeking approval from Caltrans, and, if approved, shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-25. If successfully implemented, this mitigation
measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts on existing
traffic conditions.However, the off-ramp is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans,which can
I-23
and should implement and adopt Mitigation Measure TRANS-25. Therefore, the City of
Cupertino cannot ensure the implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-25 and the
impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-25:
The project sponsor shall widen the northbound I-280 off-ramp at Wolfe Road to
accommodate two lanes. The project sponsor would need to work with City staff, VTA, and
Caltrans to plan, design and construct the widening with all funding provided by the
project sponsor.
S. Impact TRANS-26: As part of the project,the project sponsor would
widen the southbound I-280 off-ramp at Wolfe Road to
accommodate two lanes and reduce excessive queue spillback onto
the freeway. If Caltrans does not approve this improvement,
excessive queue spillback would occur (City of Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project could exacerbate unacceptable conditions or cause
unacceptable operating conditions at the southbound I-280 off-ramp at Wolfe Road due to
increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-26, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-26 is hereby adopted.
As a condition of project approval,the project sponsor shall diligently pursue Mitigation
Measure TRANS-26, including seeking approval from Caltrans, and,if approved, shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRAI�TS-26. If successfully implemented, this mitigation
measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts on existing
traffic conditions.However,because the off-ramp is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans,
which can and should adopt and implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-26, the City of
Cupertino cannot ensure the implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-26 and the
impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-26:
The project sponsor shall widen the southbound I-280 off-ramp at Wolfe Road to
accommodate two lanes. The project sponsor would need to work with City staff, VTA, and
Caltrans to plan, design, and construct the widening with all funding provided by the
project sponsor.Widening of the freeway off-ramp to accommodate a second off-ramp lane
and shoulder would likely require the removal of existing landscaping in front of the
soundwall.
I-24
T. Impact TRANS-28: The provision of two northbound inbound right-
turn lanes and six lanes on the east leg of the Wolfe Road/Project
Access intersection with the associated high traffic volumes would
interfere with pedestrian accessibility to the site and adjoining areas
(City of Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project would interfere with pedestrian accessibility to the site
and adjoining areas (City of Cupertino) due to high traffic volumes and the addition of
vehicle lanes.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-28, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval, would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level. This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize
the potential for impacts on the pedestrian environment near the site and adjoining areas,
but some impacts could still occur.Therefore, this impact would remain significant and
unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-28:
To lessen the impact the project sponsor shall install a"Yield to Peds" sign that is activated
by a pedestrian push button.Additionally, the project shall install a high visibility crosswalk
(i.e.,with ladder striping) at the east leg of the Wolfe Road/I'roject Access intersection to
help make the crosswalk more prominent. These treatments would lessen the impact,but
would not mitigate the impact to a less-than-significant level as pedestrian access would still
be impeded.
U. Impact TRANS-29: The increased traffic volume at the I-280 ramps
with Wolfe Road would create a challenging condition for
pedestrians that currently does not exist (City of Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project would interfere with pedestrian accessibility near the I-
280 ramps and Wolfe Road (City of Cupertino).
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-29, set forth below,would reduce these
impacts,but not to a less-than-significant level.Mitigation Measure TRANS-29 is hereby
adopted. As a condition of project approval, the project sponsor shall diligently pursue
Mitigation Measure TRANS-29, including seeking approval from Caltrans, and, if approved,
shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-29. If successfully implemented, this
mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the potential for impacts to
pedestrian accessibility near the vicinity of the Project,but would not mitigate the impact to
a less-than-significant level, as the increased vehicular volumes would still exist. Further,
the feasibility of this mitigation measure cannot be assured as the on-ramp is under the
jurisdiction of Caltrans, which can and should adopt and implement Mitigation Measure
I-25
TRANS-29. Therefore, the City of Cupertino cannot ensure the implementation of Mitigation
Measure TRANS-29 and this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-29:
To enhance the pedestrian environment and lessen the pedestrian impact at the six I-280
ramps with Wolfe Road,the project sponsor shall provide enhanced crosswalks at all ramp
crosswalks. Additionally, for the I-280 southbound loop on-ramp, the project sponsor shall
design, construct, and fund the following to improve the sight distance to an industry
standard of 250 feet for a 35 mph roadway include:
• Replacing existing fence on overcrossing with one that has better transparency;
• Trimming and maintaining vegetation on northwest corner of the Wolfe Road/I-280
southbound loop on-ramp;
• Redesigning the ramp to move the crosswalk further north;and
• Adding a pavement legend to indicate pedestrian crossing.
V. Impact TRANS-31. The proposed closure of Pruneridge Avenue
between Wolfe Road and Tantau Avenue would have significant
impacts on pedestrian access because it would reduce accessibility
for pedestrians and eliminate existing pedestrian facilities (City of
Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project would have significant impacts on pedestrian access due
to a reduction in accessibility near the project site and the elimination of select pedestrian
facilities.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-31, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level.This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize
the potential for impacts to pedestrian access and pedestrian facilities,but because the
elimination of some pedestrian facilities would still occur,some impacts would remain.
Therefore, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-31:
Implement Mitigation Measures PLAN-2 and PLAN-3. The multi-use paths and the
pedestrian improvements proposed as part of the project would lessen the impact,but
would not mitigate the impact to a less-than-significant level as the elimination of existing
pedestrian facilities would still occur.
I-26
W. Impact TRANS-32: The proposed closure of Pruneridge Avenue
between Wolfe Road and Tantau Avenue would have significant
impacts on bicycle access because it would reduce accessibility for
bicyclists and eliminates existing bicycle facilities (City of
Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project would have significant impacts on bicycle access due to
a reduction in accessibility near the project site and the elimination of select bicycle facilities.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-32, set forth below,which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level.This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize
the potential for significant impacts to bicycle access and bicycle facilities,but because the
elimination of existing bicycle facilities would still occur, some impacts would remain.
Therefore, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-32:
Implement Mitigation Measures PLAN-2 and PLAN-3.T'he multi-use paths and bicycle
improvements proposed as part of the project would lessen the impact,but would not
mitigate the impact to a less-than-significant level as the elimination of existing bicycle
facilities would still occur
X. Impact TRANS-33: The proposed closure of Pruneridge Avenue and
associated reroute of Route 81 to Vallco Parkway would significantly
reduce transit access for The Hamptons residents (City of
Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project would significantly reduce transit access for The
Hamptons residents due to an associated rerouting of Route 81 upon the closure of
Pruneridge Avenue.
There are no feasible mitigation measures to restore transit access to Route 81 for The
Hamptons residents, therefore the impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
Y. Impact TRANS-34: The proposed closure of Pruneridge Avenue
between Wolfe Road and Tantau Avenue would have significant
impacts on access to The Hamptons for those with destinations east
of Tantau Avenue (City of Cupertino).
The Final EIR finds that the Project would have significant impacts on access to The
Hamptons for those with destinations east of Tantau Avenue due to the closure of
Pruneridge Avenue.
I-27
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-34, set forth below,which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-
than-significant level.This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize
the potential for impacts to access for those with destinations east of Tantau Avenue,but
some impacts could still occur. Therefore, this impact would remain significant and
unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-34:
There are no mitigation measures to reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-32 would lessen the impact,but not to a
less-than-significant level.
Z. Impact AIR-1: Construction of the proposed project would generate
air pollutant emissions that could violate air quality standards.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would generate pollutant emissions due to construction.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-than-
significant level. This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
potential for impacts to air quality due to the construction of the Project,however, the Final
EIR finds that air quality thresholds of significance would still be exceeded even after
implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1. Therefore,this impact would remain
significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure AIR-1:
Consistent with guidance from the BAAQMD, the following actions shall be required in
relevant construction contracts and specifications for the project:
• All exposed surfaces(e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and
unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
• All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered.
• All visible mud or dirt tracked-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using
wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power
sweeping is prohibited.
• All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 miles per hour (mph).
• All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as
possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or
soil binders are used.
I-28
Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would not reduce impacts to traffic,noise, air quality,
housing/population, and public services or reduce construction-related impacts.
The Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would not achieve the following project sponsor
objectives for the Project:
Primary Objective:
• Achieve the security and privacy required for the invention of new products by
eliminating any public access through the site, and protecting the perimeters against
unauthorized persons.
Secondary Objectives:
• Create a physically unified campus community that improves internal circulation and
eliminates unnecessary access points by consolidating the existing properties within one
campus.
• Create a campus that reflects Apple's business and design practices, and allows for a
long-term presence in Cupertino.
In addition, the following project sponsor objectives would be achieved,but to a lesser
extent than the Project:
Primary Objective:
• Create an innovative and beautiful campus near Apple's Infinite Loop facility that
consolidates many of Apple's engineers and support personnel in a single distinctive _
office, research and development building, and supporting facilities. The purpose of
consolidation is to promote shared creativity and collaboration and spur invention of the
next several generations of Apple products.
(Although the Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would allow Apple to consolidate
many of its engineers and support personnel in a single distinctive office, research and
development building, and support facilities, the unified open space is an important
part of creating an environment that promotes shared creativity and collaboration.
Dividing the campus with Pruneridge Avenue would impede that aspect of this
Primary Objective.)
Secondary Objectives:
• Maximize green space, and design this space in accordance with the climate and history
of the area.
• Exceed economic, social, and environmental sustainability goals through integrated
design and development.
I-66
Secondary Objectives:
• Maximize green space, and design this space in accordance with the climate and history
of the area.
• Provide on-site amenities for Apple's employees in order to promote employees' health
and well-being and reduce off-campus travel.
• Provide an on-site venue for the introduction of Apple's new products that will generate
surprise and delight, and enable the products to be introduced at Apple's corporate
home.
• Create a physically unified campus community that improves internal circulation and
eliminates unnecessary access points by consolidating the existing properties within one
campus.
• Create a campus plan that incorporates flexibility to respond to Apple's future business
needs.
For the foregoing reasons, the No Project Alternative is hereby rejected.
B. The Pruneridge Avenue Alternative
The Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would allow for the development of a new corporate
campus while preserving the segment of Pruneridge Avenue within the site as a public
right-of-way. The site would be approximately 4.6 acres smaller in order to preserve the
Pruneridge Avenue right-of-way.Under this alternative, the preservation of Pruneridge
Avenue would require adjustments to the Project's security program, transportation
logistics, utility infrastructure,employee and building services operations,building
configuration and location, open space provision, access points, construction logistics, and
many other elements of the Project.
The Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would generally require the same entitlements and
approvals as the Project,except that Pruneridge Avenue would not be vacated.Such
entitlements, approvals and General Plan amendments would not be required as part of this
alternative, although a General Plan amendment would be required if the Main Building
were to have a height in excess of 60 feet.
Contrary to the City's objectives, the Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would discourage the
retention of Apple's corporate headquarters because Apple might not proceed with the
alternative.The loss of Apple's corporate headquarters would result in an adverse fiscal
impact on the City. Otherwise, the Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would substantively
achieve the City's objectives for the Project.
The Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would avoid the land use and planning policy impacts
and transportation and circulation impacts related to the closure of Pruneridge Avenue. The
I-65
• Allow for the location and design of Phase 2 of the Project in a way that is sensitive to
surrounding neighborhoods.
• Preserve the City's existing and planned park space.
• Preserve and enhance the historic integrity of Glendenning Barn and provide for its
adaptive reuse and relocation.
• Protect the riparian zone around Calabazas Creek.
• Enhance environmental features within the project area, including stormwater quality
within the City storm drain system and receiving water bodies.
• Maintain consistency with Cupertino's 2000-2020 General Plan and further General Plan
goals and strategies for economic development,neighborhood connectivity, and urban
conservation.
• Provide connections and enhance walkability/bikeability between the project site and
surrounding areas,while promoting the mobility of Apple employees and the public
throughout the Vallco Industrial Park and the greater region.
• Improve traffic circulation, traffic volumes and level of service (LOS) through a
combination of consolidation of office locations and additional TDM measures.
• Increase the use of landscaping compared to paved parking and thereby enhance the
urban environment, reduce impervious surfaces, and reduce storm water runoff.
• Retain and improve bike and pedestrian connectivity between the project site and
surrounding areas.
• Avoid additional fiscal impacts to the City from the Project by cost reimbursement and
the collection of fees covering the City's actual costs.
• Encourage public art placed in locations visible to the public.
• Increase City revenues from the Project in order to enhance the City's general fund.
The No Project Alternative would not achieve any of the project sponsor's objectives,
including the following:
Primary Objectives:
• Create an innovative and beautiful campus near Apple's Infinite Loop facility that
consolidates many of Apple's engineers and support personnel in a single distinctive
office, research and development building, and supporting facilities. The purpose of
consolidation is to promote shared creativity and collaboration and spur invention of the
next several generations of Apple products.
• Achieve the security and privacy required for the invention of new products by
eliminating any public access through the site, and protecting the perimeters against
unauthorized persons.
I-64
CEQA requires consideration of a no project alternative. Consistent with the State CEQA
Guidelines, the No Project Alternative assumes that the site would generally remain in its
existing condition. The site would remain developed with low-rise buildings(comprising
approximately 2,657,000 square feet of building space)used for office and research and
development uses. Apple employees would ultimately occupy all buildings within the
project site and,because some existing buildings are only partially occupied, the number of
employees on the site would increase from approximately 4,844 under existing conditions to
approximately 9,800 (a net increase of 4,956 employees).
No major construction projects would occur on the site, although minor building
renovations could occur in the short-term to change the configuration of interior building
space.None of these renovations would substantially increase the employee capacity of the
site.
The amount of surface parking (9,220 parking spaces) and open space(approximately 43
acres) on the site would remain the same as existing conditions and Glendenning Barn
would remain at its present location. In addition,the segment of Pruneridge Avenue within
the site would not be vacated by the City and would remain a public right-of-way. No new
security fence would be developed around the perimeter of the site (a portion of the site is
already bounded by fencing), although security mechanisms might be implemented around
individual buildings or groups of buildings. No changes to off-site roadways (including
North Wolfe Road, East Homestead Road, and North Tantau Avenue)would occur. None of
the requested entitlements and approvals sought as part of the Project(including General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments)would be required.
The No Project Alternative would avoid all potential construction-related impacts to
biological resources, cultural resources,hydrology and water quality,hazards and
hazardous materials, noise, and air quality,because no new facilities would be constructed
and the use of construction equipment, site grading,earth work, paving or faculties
construction would be avoided. The No Project Alternative would also avoid operational
impacts associated with land use and planning policy, aesthetics,biological resources,
cultural resources, transportation and circulation, and noise because the occupancy of the
site could increase to only 9,800 employees instead of the 14,200 employees anticipated by
the Project.
The No Project Alternative would not achieve any of the City's project objectives,which are
as follows:
• Encourage the retention of Apple's corporate headquarters in Cupertino within a world
class corporate campus.
• Allow for the expansion of Apple's operations while enhancing the physical
environment of the project area and being sensitive to community needs.
I-63
This employment-related population growth would be a relatively small percentage
(approximately 7.9 percent) of the population growth expected in Santa Clara County
between 2015 and 2020(117,800). In addition, the actual number of new residents generated
by the Project would be substantially lower than 9,356,because that number is very
conservative in that it does not account for new employees that currently live in the area
(and thus would not increase the population by filling a job on the project site). Therefore,
the impact of the Project on regional and sub-regional population growth would be even
further reduced. The total population growth associated with the Project(assuming every
new employee moves to the region from elsewhere)would comprise 2.7 percent of the
population growth expected in the Bay Area region between 2015 and 2020(340,500).
This growth would be considered less than significant because the project site is an
appropriate place for employment growth. As described in the Draft EIR Chapter IV,
Planning Policy, the City's General Plan policies support retaining and intensifying
employment at the project site (Policies 2-1, 2-13, 2-35 and 2-44, and Strategy 3 of Policy 2-
20). Because the project site is located within an existing urbanized area and would be
served by an enhanced Transportation Demand Management Program,including the Apple
transit system, anticipated employment growth could be associated with reduced regional
environmental impacts compared to a similar project in a location on the urban fringe
(where commute distances may be longer, and where a similar range of transit options may
not be available). In addition, growth on the project site would be accommodated with
substantial provision of private open space and the development of a campus that would
result in no net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the growth that would
occur as a result of the Project would not be considered substantial or adverse.
IX. ALTERNATIVES
The Final EIR analyzed four alternatives to the Project,examining the environmental
impacts and feasibility of each alternative, as well as the ability of the alternatives to meet
project objectives. The Project and the project objectives are described in detail in the Final
EIR Chapter III, Project Description, and the potential environmental effects of
implementing the Project are analyzed in Chapter V, Setting,Impacts and Mitigation
Measures, including discussion of significant impacts resulting from the Project and
mitigation measures recommended to avoid these impacts.
Brief summaries of the alternatives are provided below. A brief discussion of the
Environmentally Superior Alternative is also included.As explained in Section X,below, the
findings in this Section are based on the Final EIR, the discussion and analysis in which is
hereby incorporated in full by this reference.
A. The No Project Alternative
I-62
Measure NOI-2,would avoid or reduce cumulative impacts discussed in Impact NOISE-2 to
less-than-significant levels.
D. Air Quality
Implementation of the project, in combination with other past, present, and reasonably
foreseeable future project, would generate additional air pollutant emissions in the air basin,
primarily due to vehicle trips. Construction and operation of the Project would result in a
significant contribution to criteria pollutant emissions in the air basin, as discussed in
Impact AIR-3 and Mitigation Measure AIIZ-3 in Section V, above. This cumulative impact
would remain significant and unavoidable even with the implementation of Mitigation
Measure Air-3 identified in the Final EIIZ.
However, the Project's contribution to construction-period or operation-period health risk
impacts due to exposure to criteria pollutants would be less than significant.
VIII. GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS
An EIlZ is required to discuss growth inducing impacts,which consist of the ways in which
the project could foster economic or population growth, or the construction of additional
housing,either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. State CEQA
Guidelines� 15126.2(d);Pub. Resources Code�21100(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.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. State CEQA Guidelines� 15126.2(d). Section VII of the
Draft EIR analyzes the growth inducing impacts of the Project.As explained in Section X,
below,the findings in this Section are based on the Final EIR, the discussion and analysis in
which is hereby incorporated in full by this reference.
Implementation of the Project would not result in direct population growth because the
Project does not include the development of new housing units. However, as discussed in
the Draft EIR Section V.C, Population, Employment, and Housing,the Project could
indirectly increase the area's population through an expansion of employment.
Nevertheless, overall indirect population growth associated with the Project would not be
considered significant when evaluated on a regional or sub-regional level. Assuming every
new employee associated with the Project would move to the area from elsewhere(which
would substantially overestimate the likely number of new residents generated by the
Project), the Project would generate 9,356 new residents.
I-61
unacceptable level(change from LOS D+to LOS E) during the AM peak hour based on
City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
• Impact TRANS-17: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, the Project would cause
intersection#31 Tantau Avenue/Vallco Parkway to operate at an unacceptable level
(change from LOS C to LOS E+) during the AM peak hour based on City of Cupertino
LOS impact thresholds.
• Impact TRANS-18: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would cause intersection#32 Tantau Avenue/Stevens Creek Boulevard to operate at an
unacceptable level(change from LOS D-to LOS F) during the PM peak hour based on
City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
As discussed in Section V, implementation of the mitigation measures in the Final EIR, the
following transportation impacts would be considered a significant and unavoidable
contribution to a cumulative impact:
• Impact TRANS-13: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would cause intersection#8 De Anza Boulevard/Stevens Creek Boulevard to operate at
an unacceptable level(change from LOS E+to LOS E) during the PM peak hour based
on City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
• Impact TRANS-14: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would cause intersection#21 Wolfe Road/I-280 Northbound Ramps to operate at an
unacceptable level(change from LOS B to LOS E) during the AM peak hour based on
City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
• Impact TRANS-19: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would exacerbate unacceptable operations of intersection #36 Stevens Creek
Boulevard/Calvert Drive/I-280 Ramps (west) during the PM peak hour based on CMP
guidelines.
• Impact TRANS-20: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would cause operations of intersection#40 Stevens Creek Boulevard/Lawrence
Expressway Ramps (east) to operate at an unacceptable level(change from LOS D to
LOS F) during the AM peak hour based on CMP guidelines.
• Impact TRANS-21: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would cause operations of intersection #41 Lawrence Expressway/I-280 Southbound
Ramps to operate at an unacceptable level(change from LOS E to LOS F) during the PM
peak hour based on CMP guidelines.
C. Noise
Project-related increases in traffic noise levels would create a cumulatively considerable
contribution of the Project to noise conditions along some roadway segments in the project
vicinity.A full discussion of the impacts related to increased traffic noise can be found in the
Draft EIR Section V., Noise. As discussed in Section VI, above, implementation of Mitigation
I-60
A. Cultural Resources
The project, in conjunction with other development in Cupertino,has the potential to affect
cultural resources. If a potential for significant impacts to cultural resources is identified at
the time development is proposed, an investigation is required to determine the nature and
extent of the resources and identify appropriate mitigation measures. T'herefore, past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable future development in Cupertino is not expected to
have a significant effect on cultural resources.
The number of historic resources in the City has diminished substantially as the City has
urbanized;remaining resources(e.g.,Union Church of Cupertino and Nathan Hall Tank
House) are generally surrounded by modern development.However, these resources are
generally protected in place by the City's Historic Preservation Policy.If relocation is
proposed for any individual resource, the merits of this relocation would be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis. The provisions of the Historic Preservation Policy would be expected to
prevent a significant loss(or inappropriate relocation) of remaining historic resources in the
City. Therefore, future development in the City is not expected to result in a significant
cumulative effect on historic resources.
The project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on cultural resources,with
implementation of the mitigation measures identified in this section. As discussed in Section
VI, above,Relocation of Glendenning Barn in accordance with Mitigation Measures CULT-
1a or CULT-1b would avoid adverse impacts to the historic integrity of the barn or ensure
these cumulative impacts are reduced to a less-than-significant level. Therefore, the Project
would not make a significant contribution to cumulative cultural resources impacts.
B. Transportation and Circulation
Development of the Project, along with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future
projects,would increase traffic on the local and regional roadway system. As discussed in
Section VI, above,implementation of the mitigation measures in the Final EIlZ, the following
transportation impacts would be considered to have a less-than-significant contribution to a
cumulative impact:
• Impact TRANS-12: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would exacerbate unacceptable operations of intersection #5 De Anza
Boulevard/Homestead Road during the PM peak hour based on City of Cupertino LOS
impact thresholds.
• Impact TRANS-15: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would exacerbate unacceptable operations of intersection #23 Wolfe Road/Vallco
Parkway during the PM peak hour based on City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
• Impact TRANS-16: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions, completion of the Project
would cause intersection#27 Tantau Avenue/Homestead Road to operate at an
I-59
• North Wolfe Road and Project Entrance
• North Wolfe Road and East Homestead Road
• North Wolfe Road and I-280 (two interchanges)
• North Wolfe Road and Vallco Parkway
• Stevens Creek Boulevard and Perimeter Road
• Stevens Creek Boulevard and Finch Avenue
• Stevens Creek Boulevard and Tantau Avenue
• Heron Avenue and East Homestead Road
VII. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
A Final EIR is required to discuss the cumulative impacts of a project when the project's
incremental effect is cumulatively considerable. State CEQA Guidelines§ 15130(a)(1).
CEQA defines cumulative impacts as "two or more individual effects,which, when
considered together, are considerable, or which can compound or increase other
environmental impacts." Section 15130 of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR
evaluate potential environmental impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
significant. These impacts can result from the project alone, or together with other projects.
Section 15355 of the State CEQA Guidelines states: "The cumulative impact from several
projects is the change in the environment which results from the incremental impact of the
Project when added to other closely related past,present, and reasonably foreseeable
probable future projects." Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but
collectively significant projects taking place over a period of time. "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.State CEQA Guidelines� 15065(a)(3);Pub.Resources Code § 21083(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. The cumulative analysis in the
Final EIR uses primarily the first approach: a list of past, present, and probable future
projects. This list is included in the Draft EIR Appendix F and includes a mix of infill
projects in the City, including residential,commercial, and institutional projects ranging
from new hotels to senior residential developments.
The Final EIR analyzes the cumulative impacts of the Project in combination with
reasonably foreseeable probable future projects at the end of each topical section and are
further summarized below. As explained in Section X,below, the findings in this Section are
based on the Final EIR, the discussion and analysis in which is hereby incorporated in full
by this reference.
I-58
proposed project would expose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations if the construction practices identified in the Apple Campus Construction
Equipment Summary are not followed.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-4, set forth below, which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure AIR-4:
The project sponsor shall implement Mitigation Measure AIR-1 and the following additional
measure:
• To the maximum extent feasible,material staging roads shall be set back from the curb
by at least 65 feet.
II. Impact PSU-1: The proposed project could adversely affect the
ability of the Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD) to meet
response time objectives.
The Final EIR finds that the Project could affect the ability of the SCCFD to meet response
time objectives due to increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PSU-1, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure PSU-1:
The project sponsor shall implement signal preemption signals at the following intersections
(identified by the City and SCCFD as the ones most likely to be used by emergency vehicles
accessing the project site). The signal preemption signals would allow emergency vehicles to
pass through approximately 30 seconds before arrival.
• North Blaney Avenue and East Homestead Road
• North Tantau Avenue and East Homestead Road
• North Tantau Avenue and Pruneridge Avenue
• North Tantau Avenue and Vallco Parkway
• North Tantau Avenue and Project Entrance
• North Wolfe Road and Pruneridge Avenue
I-57
conspicuously posted at the perimeter of the construction site and provided to all
adjacent property owners prior to commencement of construction.
• The project contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment has appropriate high-
quality noise muffling and abatement devices,which would be properly maintained and
used at all times such equipment is in operation.
• The project contractor shall, to the extent feasible, place all stationary construction
equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the
project site.
• Exterior project noise-generating construction activities (i.e., grading, construction and
demolition) shall be permitted within 750 feet of any residentially zoned property only
between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays, and between the hours of
9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekends. No such work shall be permitted on holidays (i.e.,
New Year's Day,Memorial Day, Independence Day,Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day,
Christmas Day), except as approved by the Community Development Director. A Noise
Variance may be obtained from the Noise Control Officer for each occurrence of specific
temporary construction activities.
• Construction activities, other than street construction, shall be prohibited on holidays,
unless they meet the City of Cupertino's nighttime maximum permissible noise level
standards.
GG. Impact NOI-2: Implementation of the project would result in a
significant contribution to cumulative traffic noise levels
experienced in the project vicinity.
The Final EIR finds that the Project will result in a significant contribution to cumulative
traffic noise levels in the project vicinity.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-2, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure NOI-2:
The project sponsor shall resurface the following roadway segments with RHMA-O or
similar quiet pavement:
• East Homestead Road, from North Wolfe Road to North Tantau Avenue; and
• North Wolfe Road, from Pruneridge Avenue to the I-280 northbound ramps.
HH. Impact AIR-4: Without the construction practices identified in the
Apple Campus Construction Equipment Summary, construction of the
I-56
Mitigation Measure TRANS-35:
Implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-9b.
FF. Impact NOI-1: Project-related construction activities would create a
clearly noticeable temporary change in the noise environment and
create noise levels that would exceed the noise level standards in the
City of Cupertino Municipal Code.
The Final EIR finds that the Project will create a noticeable temporary change in the noise
environment and generate noise levels that would exceed the noise level standards of the
City.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1, set forth below, which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure NOI-1:
The project applicant shall implement the following measures at the project site during all
demolition and construction activities, subject to the approval of the City:
• The project applicant shall ensure the construction of a 15-foot high temporary sound
wall along the project's property line adjacent to sensitive land uses.
• A temporary sound wall shall be constructed along the eastern project property line to
block the line-of-sight from the single-family residential land uses on Howard Drive and
Meadow Avenue to project construction areas on the east side of North Tantau Avenue.
This sound wall shall be set back from the properry line as much as feasible to still allow
for project construction activities to occur.
• A temporary sound wall shall be constructed along the southern project property line to
block the line-of-sight from The Hamptons to project construction areas in the southwest
portion of the project site. This sound wall shall be set back from the property line as
much as feasible to still allow for project construction activities to occur.
• A temporary sound wall shall be constructed along the northern project property line to
block the line-of-sight from the single-family residential properties north of East
Homestead Road to project construction areas in the northern portion of the project site.
This sound wall shall be set back from the property line as much as feasible to still allow
for project construction activities to occur.
• The project contractor shall designate a construction liaison that shall be responsible for
responding to any local complaints about construction noise.The liaison shall determine
the cause of the noise complaints (e.g., starting too early,bad muffler) and institute
reasonable measures to correct the problem. A telephone number for the liaison shall be
I-55
The Final EIR finds that the Project would result in hazards for vehicles exiting the
southernmost Wolfe Road driveway to the Cupertino Village shopping center due to
congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-27, set forth below,which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-27:
The southernmost driveway to the Cupertino Village should be closed.With this mitigation
the impact would be less-than-significant.
DD. Impact TRANS-30: The added traffic on Wolfe Road and around the
project site would result in increased congestion and could induce
transit demand and increase transit ridership in the area, which
currently has minimal transit stop amenities (VTA).
The Final EIR finds that the Project would increase congestion and potentially increase the
demand for transit in the area.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-30, set forth below,which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-30:
The project sponsor shall upgrade transit stops along Wolfe Road between Stevens Creek
Boulevard and Homestead Road, on Vallco Parkway between Wolfe Road and Tantau
Avenue, and on Tantau Avenue between Stevens Creek Boulevard and Homestead Road.
EE. Impact TRANS-35: The project may result in a parking shortfall if
Apple does not achieve a 34 percent TDM participation rate.
The Final EIR finds that the Project might result in a parking shortfall if Apple does not
achieve a 34 percent TDM participation rate due to the limited parking availability on the
project site.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-35, set forth below,which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
I-54
each month to the Public Works Department. This report shall document any
unsafe or illegal lane changes observed,noting accidents caused by unsafe
lane changes and noting whether, in the professional judgment of the
independent observer, the observed violations constitute a safety problem
that should be addressed and, if so, recommending measures to address
them.
• If, at any time following the nine-month trial period implementation of the
measures listed above do not substantially prevent violations, in the
professional opinion of independent observer and the City, the City shall
determine whether additional measures are required, or whether the number
of lanes must be reduced to two exit lanes. Monitoring shall continue until
nine months following full occupancy of the project.
• The project sponsor shall develop employee education materials, to the
satisfaction of the City explaining the proper use of the driveway exit lanes
without weaving among lanes.
BB. Impact TRANS-24: Completion of the proposed project would cause
excessive vehicle queues on the southbound Tantau Avenue at
Vallco Parkway based on City of Cupertino standards.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would cause excessive vehicle queues on southbound
Tantau Avenue at Vallco Parkway.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-24, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-24:
The project sponsor shall provide a dedicated southbound right-turn lane at the Tantau
Avenue/Vallco Parkway intersection.
CC. Impact TRANS-27: The proposed location of the project driveway
intersection on Wolfe Road and the associated congestion would
result in hazards for vehicles exiting the southernmost Wolfe Road
driveway to the Cupertino Village shopping center (City of
Cupertino and CEQA).
I-53
three-lane driveway exit design would have a significant impact on safety due to
"weaving." Mitigation Measure TRANS-23, identified in the Draft EIR, requires the number
of driveway left turn lanes to be reduced from three to two and would reduce this impact to
a less-than-significant level (Draft EIR, pp. 416-418).
At the request of the project sponsor, the City considered an alternative mitigation measure
that would allow three left turn lanes exiting the project site on to Wolfe Road. The project
sponsor requested the City to consider replacing Mitigation Measure TRANS-23 with a
mitigation measure that would reduce the weaving impact to a less-than-significant level,
without requiring a reduction to two lanes, through the use of clear signage at the exit
approach including overhead signs, painted directions on lanes and appropriate lane
striping;internal employee education; and traffic monitors. The project sponsor proposed
that these measures would be implemented for a nine-month period during which the
driveway exit would be monitored by an independent observer at the expense of the project
sponsor. If the weaving behavior predicted by the EIR is observed, the third lane would be
closed.
City staff and Fehr&Peers reviewed two versions of the proposed, alternative mitigation
measure--one with penalties for weaving violations (TRANS-23 (Alternate)) and one
without penalties (TRANS-23 (Second Alternate)) --for their ability to mitigate the weaving
impacts, and the City has concluded that Mitigation Measure TRANS-23(Second Alternate),
set forth below,which is hereby adopted and made a condition of project approval,would
avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-significant levels.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-23 (Second Alternate):
The project sponsor may be permitted to construct three left-turn exit lanes from the project
site to Wolfe Road if all of the following measures are implemented:
• Clear signage, including but not limited to overhead signs, shall be installed
to indicate the destination of each of the three exit lanes in order to
discourage unsafe lane changes.
� Each lane shall be clearly marked by painted stripes, directional arrows and
destination legends to indicate the destination of each lane and to indicate by
double lines or other appropriate markings that changing lanes is a violation
of law between the Apple Campus 2 driveway and Pruneridge Avenue.
• The project sponsor shall fund the following measures for a trial period of
nine months and shall install closed-circuit video cameras linked to the City's
Traffic Operations Center to continuously record vehicle movements at the
project driveway and along southbound Wolfe Road. Trained personnel,
who are independent from the project sponsor, shall periodically review the
video footage at the direction of the City, and provide a report at the end of
I-52
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-17, set forth below,which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-17:
At intersection#31 Tantau Avenue/Vallco Parkway,the project sponsor shall implement
Mitigation Measure TRANS-2 (add exclusive northbound through lane),which would
improve intersection operations to LOS C(28.7 seconds).
Z. Impact TRANS-18: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause intersection#32
Tantau Avenue/Stevens Creek Boulevard to operate at an
unacceptable level (change from LOS D-to LOS F) during the PM
peak hour based on City of Cupertino LOS impact thresholds.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would cause intersection#32 Tantau Avenue/Stevens
Creek Boulevard to operate at an unacceptable level during the AM peak hour due to
increased congestion.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRANS-18, set forth below,which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-18:
At intersection#32 Tantau Avenue/Stevens Creek Boulevard, the project sponsor shall
implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-8 (add exclusive southbound right-turn lane), which
would improve intersection operations to LOS D(49.4 seconds).
AA. Impact TRANS-23: Based on City of Cupertino standards, the design
of the project with three left-turn lanes on the Wolfe Road driveway
approach would cause a substantial increase in conflicts due to
vehicles weaving on Wolfe Road between the driveway and the I-280
ramps in order to merge and align into the correct lanes to enter the
freeway upon exiting the campus.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would cause a substantial increase in conflicts due to
vehicles weaving on Wolfe Road between the Project driveway and the I-280 ramps in order
to access the freeway upon exiting the campus. The Draft EIlZ fully analyzes the impacts of
three left turns lanes exiting the project site on to Wolfe Road (see Draft EIR, pp. 414-418),
and concludes that the impacts on traffic operations would be less than significant but that a
I-51
geometries at the westbound approach would be modified to provide one left-turn lane, one
shared left-turn/through lane, and two right-turn lanes.
Providing a westbound overlap phase could have secondary impacts, since southbound
vehicles wanting to travel northbound would have to travel to the Stevens Creek
Boulevard/Wolfe Road intersection to access northbound Wolfe Road. Field observations
were conducted to determine the existing percentage of vehicles making U-turns at the
intersections. The field data was used to estimate the impact of diverting U-turns from
Vallco Parkway to Stevens Creek Boulevard. The LOS results show that both the Wolfe
Road/Vallco Parkway (42.4 seconds and LOS D) and Stevens Creek Boulevard/Wolfe Road
intersections (49.9 seconds and LOS D)would operate acceptably with the proposed
southbound U-turn restrictions at the Wolfe Road/Vallco Parkway intersection. The project
impact would be reduced to a less-than-significant level.
X. Impact TRANS-16: Under Cumulative plus Project Conditions,
completion of the proposed project would cause intersection #27
Tantau Avenue/Homestead Road to operate at an unacceptable level
(change from LOS D+to LOS E) during the AM peak hour based on

significant levels.
Mitigation Measure TRANS-12:
At intersection#5 De Anza Boulevard/Homestead Road intersection, the project sponsor
shall implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-4 (add exclusive southbound right-turn lane),
which would improve intersection operations to LOS E+(58.9 seconds). Though LOS E+is
not considered acceptable at the#5 De Anza Boulevard/Homestead Road intersection, the
LOS would improve to better operating conditions than under the Cumulative No Project
scenario and the impact would be considered less than significant.

paleontologist contacted to assess the situation, consult with agencies as appropriate, and
make recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. If found to be significant, and
project activities cannot avoid the paleontological resources, adverse effects to
paleontological resources shall be mitigated.Mitigation may include monitoring, recording
the fossil locality, data recovery and analysis, a final report, and accessioning the fossil
material and technical report to a paleontological repository.Public educational outreach
may also be appropriate.Upon completion of the assessment, a report documenting
methods,findings, and recommendations shall be prepared and submitted to the City of
Cupertino for review, and (if paleontological materials are recovered) a paleontological
repository, such as the University of California Museum of Paleontology.
I-39
Mitigation Measure CULT-2a:
The project applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor project ground-
disturbing activities. Prior to project ground-disturbing activities, the archaeologist shall
prepare a Monitoring Plan for the project. The Monitoring Plan shall include: (1) a review of
historical maps, photographs, soil inventories, and geotechnical reports to identify those
locations where subsurface historical features may occur and areas of prehistoric sensitivity;
and (2) a Discovery Plan that describes the specific methods and procedures that will be
used in the event that archaeological deposits are identified.
Archaeological monitors shall be empowered to halt construction activities at the location of
a discovery to review possible archaeological material and to protect the resource while the
finds are being evaluated. Monitoring shall continue until,in the archaeologist's judgment,
cultural resources are not likely to be encountered.
If deposits of prehistoric or historical archaeological materials are encountered during
project activities, all work within 25 feet of the discovery shall be redirected until the
archaeologist assesses the finds, consults with agencies as appropriate, and makes
recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. If avoidance of the archaeological
deposit is not feasible, the archaeological deposits shall be evaluated for eligibility for listing
in the California Register of Historical Resources. If the deposits are not eligible,mitigation
is not necessary.If the deposits are eligible, adverse effects on the deposits shall be
mitigated. Mitigation may include excavation of the archaeological deposit in accordance
with a data recovery plan (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(b)(3)(C)) and standard
archaeological field methods and procedures;laboratory and technical analyses of recovered
archaeological materials;preparation of a report detailing the methods, findings, and
significance of the archaeological site and associated materials;and accessioning of
archaeological materials and a technical data recovery report at a curation facility.
Upon completion of the assessment, the archaeologist shall prepare a report to document
the methods and results of the assessment. The report shall be submitted to the City of
Cupertino and the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University upon
completion of the resource assessment.
Mitigation Measure CULT-2b:If archaeological deposits are encountered during project
subsurface construction when an archaeological monitor is not present, all ground-
disturbing activities within 25 feet shall be redirected and a qualified archaeologist
contacted to assess the situation, consult with agencies as appropriate, and make
recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. The project applicant shall inform its
contractor(s) of the sensitivity of the project area for archaeological deposits. The City shall
verify that the following directive has been included in the appropriate contract documents:
I-38
educational uses determined by the City. Public access could be permitted and is
encouraged,but is not required to reduce impacts to the resource.
• If located on private property,the following character-defining architectural elements of
the barn shall be substantially visible from a public right-of-way or(if the barn and/or its
surroundings are publicly-accessible) a public viewpoint, per the discretion of City staff:
1) size/scale of barn;2)board and batten siding(including windows, if possible); and 3)
roofline.
• The Glendenning Barn shall be relocated by a qualified structure-moving company with
experience moving historic buildings.
• Relocation of the Glendenning Barn shall be overseen by a qualified historical architect.
The architect shall ensure that the barn retains its significant character-defining features
at its new location,including its form, proportion, structure, plan, style, and materials.
The historian shall be responsible for documenting relocation of the barn from its
current, historic site to its new site. Documentation shall include production of a report
that includes photographic documentation of the move and a historical context for the
barn that describes the resource's significance in local history. Copies of this
documentation shall be offered to local libraries and local historical societies, and
submitted to the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University.
• The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties
(Standards) shall be applied to the barn at its new location. The Standards consist of four
possible treatments for historic properties: preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and
reconstruction.Depending on the nature of the barn's use at its new location and its
current condition, one or more of these treatments shall apply.
• The applicant shall provide a plaque, reader board and/or other educational tools to
explain the historic significance of the barn,both on the off-site location and on the
project site. The plaques shall include the City seal,name of the resource, date it was
built, a written description, and photograph, and shall be placed in a location where the
public can view the information,not necessarily on the barn.
G. Impact CULT-2: Ground-disturbing activities associated with site
preparation and the construction of building foundations and
underground utilities could adversely affect archaeological
resources.
The Final EIR finds that the Project could adversely affect archaeological resources due to
ground-disturbing activities associated with site preparation and the construction of
building foundations and underground utilities.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures CULT-2a and CULT-2b set forth and adopted
below,which are hereby adopted and made conditions of project approval,would avoid or
reduce these impacts to less-than-significant levels.
I-37
relocation:
• The following character-defining architectural elements of the barn shall be substantially
visible from a public right-of-way, per the discretion of City staff: 1) size/scale of barn;2)
board and batten siding(including windows, if possible); and 3) roofline.
• The new site for the Glendenning Barn shall include open space and/or land that can be
converted to such use. The amount of open space shall be sufficient to reference the
area's historic agricultural roots.
• The Glendenning Barn shall be relocated by a qualified structure-moving company with
experience moving historic buildings.
• Relocation of the Glendenning Barn shall be overseen by a qualified historical architect.
The architect shall ensure that the barn retains its significant character-defining features
at its new location,including its form, proportion, structure, plan, style, and materials.
The historian shall be responsible for documenting relocation of the barn from its
current, historic site to its new site. Documentation shall include production of a report
that includes photographic documentation of the move and a historical context for the
barn that describes the resource's significance in local history. Copies of this
documentation shall be offered to local libraries and local historical societies, and
submitted to the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University.
• The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties
(Standards) shall be applied to the barn at its new location. The Standards consist of four
possible treatments for historic properties: preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and
reconstruction.Depending on the nature of the barri s use at its new location and its
current condition, one or more of these treatments shall apply.
• The applicant shall provide a plaque, reader board and/or other educational tools to
explain the historic significance of the barn on the project site. The plaque shall include
the City seal,name of the resource, date it was built, a written description, and
photograph, and shall be placed in a location where the public can view the information,
not necessarily on the barn.
MitigaHon Measure CULT-1b (off-site relocation):
The Glendenning Barn shall be relocated off the project site to a new site within Cupertino,
subject to the approval of the City. The lead agency shall ensure that any adopted measures
to mitigate or avoid significant adverse changes to the resource are fully enforceable
through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures.The following stipulations shall
apply to the barn's relocation:
• The new site for the Glendenning Barn shall include open space and/or land that can be
converted to such use. T'he amount of open space shall be sufficient to reference the
area's historic agricultural roots. Appropriate uses of the new site could include
I-36
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure BIO-3:
Replacement/compensation of all protected trees shall be undertaken in accordance with the
review of the Consolidated Arborist Report for the Apple Campus 2 Project and City
Municipal Code requirements, prior to the initiation of construction.Recommendations
noted within the review of the Consolidated Arborist Report for the Apple Campus 2
Project, as modified by the adjustments to response to the review of the Consolidated
Arborist Report per EIR Plan revision and a review of the trees recommended for transplant
at the Apple Campus 2 Project shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the Community
Development Director.Protected trees that are damaged or removed during construction or
roadway improvements shall be subject to replacement/compensation according to the
City's tree protection ordinance. However, replacement for removed trees subject to the
City's Protected Tree Ordinance shall be consistent with the requirements of Chapter 14.18
of the Protected Tree Ordinance. Trees that have been identified as being suitable for
transplantation shall be relocated in accordance with the Tree Transplant Schedule
approved by the Community Development Director.
F. Impact CULT-1:The project would relocate the Glendenning Barn, a
designated Historic Site under the City of Cupertino General Plan
and a historical resource under CEQA.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would cause the relocation of Glendenning Barn, a
designated Historic Site under the City's General Plan.
Implementation of either Mitigation Measure CULT-1a or Mitigation Measure CULT-lb,
depending on whether Apple elects to relocate the barn on-site or off-site, as set forth below,
which are hereby adopted and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce
this impact to less-than-significant levels.
Mitigation Measure CULT-1a(on-site relocation):
The Glendenning Barn shall be relocated to one of the following two sites within the Apple
Campus 2 project site, subject to the approval of the City: 1) to the northeast of the
Corporate Fitness Center, south of East Homestead Road or 2) at the proposed eastern
termination of Pruneridge Avenue,near The Hamptons. The barn shall not be relocated to
the second potential relocation site identified by Apple, to the west of the Central Plant,near
the southwestern property line of the project site. This site is unacceptable to the City
because it would be difficult to allow for the barn to be visible from a public right-of-way.
The lead agency shall ensure that any adopted measures to mitigate or avoid significant
adverse changes to the resource are fully enforceable through permit conditions,
agreements, or other measures. The following stipulations shall apply to the barn's on-site
I-35
Main Building and North Tantau Structures
• From outside most buildings, glass often appears highly reflective, reproducing habitat
and appearing attractive to some birds. To limit reflectivity and prevent exterior glass
from attracting birds, the project shall utilize low-reflectivity glass (7 percent reflectivity,
0 percent ultra-violet transmittance). This low-reflectivity glass shall be used for the
entirety of the building's glass surface (not just the lower levels nearest trees where bird
collisions may be the most common) to provide additional avian safety.
• The Main Building shall include 10-foot-wide awnings at each story(or a similar feature)
to create "visual noise"by covering windows and muting image reflections.
• All indoor potted plants shall be placed away from the glass perimeter so that birds do
not attempt to fly into the vegetation.
• All roof inechanical equipment shall be covered by low-profile angled roofing so that
obstacles to bird flight are minimized.
• Interior light"pollution" shall be reduced during evening hours through the use of a
lighting control system.
Main Parking Structure and North Tantau Parking Structures
• The above-grade parking structures shall be designed with open-air fa�ades. No glass
shall be utilized so birds can access open through-passages.
Corporate Auditorium/Corporate Fitness Center
• To limit reflectivity and prevent exterior glass from attracting birds, the project shall
utilize low-reflectivity glass (7 percent reflectivity, 0 percent ultra-violet transmittance).
• Interior light"pollution" shall be reduced during evening hours through the use of a
lighting control system.
• The Corporate Fitness Center shall include 5-foot-wide awnings (or a similar feature) to
create "visual noise"by covering windows and muting image reflections
E. Impact BIO-3: The proposed project would result in the removal of
trees that are protected under the City of Cupertino's Tree Protection
Ordinance, and could thus conflict with a local policy or ordinance
protecting biological resources.
The Final EIR finds that the Project could conflict with a local policy which protects
biological resources due to the removal of trees that are protected under the City's Tree
Protection Ordinance.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-3, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
I-34
Mitigation Measure BIO-1:
A qualified biologist shall conduct surveys prior to tree pruning, tree removal,
transplantation, ground disturbing activities, or construction activities on the site to locate
active nests containing either viable eggs or young birds. Preconstruction surveys are not
required for tree removal, tree pruning, or construction activities outside the nesting period.
If construction would occur during the nesting season(February 1 to August 31),
preconstruction surveys shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to the start of
pruning, construction, or ground disturbing activities. Preconstruction surveys shall be
repeated at 14-day intervals until construction has been initiated in the area after which
surveys can be stopped.Locations of active nests containing viable eggs or young birds shall
be described and protective measures implemented until the nests no longer contain eggs or
young birds. Protective measures shall include establishment of clearly delineated exclusion
zones (i.e., demarcated by uniquely identifiable fencing, such as orange construction fencing
or equivalent) around each nest site as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist,taking
into account the species of birds nesting on-site and tolerance for disturbance. In general,
exclusion zones shall be a minimum of 300 feet from the drip line of the nest tree or nest for
raptors and 50 feet for passerines and other species. The active nest sites within an exclusion
zone shall be monitored on a weekly basis throughout the nesting season to identify signs of
disturbance or to determine if each nest no longer contains eggs or young birds.
The radius of an exclusion zone may be increased by the project biologist if project activities
are determined to be adversely affecting the nesting birds. Exclusion zones may be reduced
by the project biologist only in consultation with CDFW. The protection measures shall
remain in effect until the young have left the nest and are foraging independently or the
nest is no longer active. For any project-related activities involving the removal of trees
during the nesting season, a report shall be submitted to the City of Cupertino and CDFW
once per year documenting the observations and actions implemented to comply with this
mitigation measure.
D. Impact BIO-2: New buildings that would be developed as part of the
project could result in bird collisions.
The Final EIR finds that the Project could result in bird collisions due to the construction of
new buildings at the project site.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-2, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of Project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure BIO-2:
The project sponsor shall incorporate the following design features (developed through a
review of bird-safe design guidelines) into the project to reduce bird collisions:
I-33
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PLAN-1, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure PLAN-1:
The project sponsor shall implement one of the following options:
a. Provide sufficient funds for the acquisition of 1.1 acres of property by the City for
future park development;or
b. Agree to purchase (unless other property currently owned by Apple is proposed),
designate, and dedicate to the City 1.1 acres elsewhere in the City as Parks and
Open Space, subject to the satisfaction of the City, provided the land would be
publicly accessible.
B. Impact PLAN-4: The proposed project would not be consistent with
the identification of the Glendenning Barn as a Historic Site in the
General Plan.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would not be consistent with the identification of the
Glendenning Barn as a Historic Site in the General Plan.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PLAN-4, set forth below, which is hereby adopted
and made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
Mitigation Measure PLAN-4:
Implement Mitigation Measure CULT-l.
C. Impact BIO-1: The proposed project may result in the destruction or
abandonment of nests occupied by special-status or non-special-
status bird species that are protected under the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act and Fish and Game Code.
The Final EIR finds that the Project could result in the destruction or abandonment of nests
occupied by bird species that are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Fish
and Game Code due to the construction and operation of the Project.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would avoid or reduce these impacts to less-than-
significant levels.
I-32
some impacts may still occur.Therefore, this impact would remain significant and
unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure AIR-3:
Implement Mitigation Measures AIR-1 and AIR-2.
CC. Impact PSU-2:The proposed project would contribute to a shortage
of park facilities for City residents and would preclude the
development of an open space trail through the project site.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would contribute to a shortage of park facilities for City
residents by precluding the development of an open space trail through the project site.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure PSU-2, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-than-
significant level. This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
potential for impacts to the availability of future facilities for City residents;however,
impacts could still occur. Therefore, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure PSU-2:
Implement Mitigation Measures PLAN-1 and PLAN-3.
VI. SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS IDENTIFIED IN THE FINAL EIR
THAT ARE REDUCED TO A LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT LEVEL BY
MITIGATION MEASURES MADE CONDITIONS OF PROJECT
APPROVAL
The Final EIR identifies the following significant impacts associated with the Project.It is
hereby determined that the impacts addressed by these mitigation measures will be
mitigated to a less than significant level or avoided by making these mitigation measures
conditions of project approval. Pub.Resources Code �21081(a)(1).)As explained in Section
X,below, the findings in this Section are based on the Final EIR, the discussion and analysis
in which is hereby incorporated in full by this reference.
A. Impact PLAN-1: The proposed project would change the designation of a
1.1-acre portion of the site designed Parks and Open Space, and would
reduce the acreage of land designated for future parks in the City.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would change the designation of a portion of the site
from Parks and Open Space,which would ultimately reduce the acreage of land designated
for future parks in the City.

AA. Impact AIR-2: Operation aFl�e proposed project would generate air
pollutant emissions that would exceed the BAAQMD criteria and
could substantially contribute to a violation of air quality standards.
The Final EIR finds that operation of the Project would generate pollutant emissions that
would exceed BAAQMD significance criteria and may substantially contribute to a violation
of air quality standards.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-2, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-than-
significant level. This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
potential for air quality impacts due to the operation of the Project;however, some impacts
may still occur.Therefore, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure AIR-2:
AIR-2: Implement Mitigation Measure TRANS-9b (which requires Apple to expand its TDM
Program and increase the reduction in peak hour trips from 28 percent to 34 percent).
BB. Impact AIR-3: Construction and operation of the proposed project
would result in a significant cumulative net increase in criteria
pollutant emissions.
The Final EIR finds that the Project would result in a significant cumulative net increase in
criteria pollutant emissions due to the construction and operation of the Project.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-3, set forth below,which is hereby adopted and
made a condition of project approval,would reduce these impacts,but not to a less-than-
significant level. This mitigation measure would provide for specific ways to minimize the
potential for air quality impacts due to construction and operation of the Project;however,

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
A. INTRODUCTION
This document describes the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program(MMRP)for ensuring
the effective implementation of the mitigation measures adopted by the City of Cupertino(City) and
made conditions of approval of the Apple Campus 2 Project(project).The project would entail the
redevelopment of an approximately 176-acre project site into a new campus for Apple Inc. (Apple).
When a lead agency adopts findings pursuant to Section 21081 of the California Environmental
Quality Act(CEQA)1 and Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelinesz upon completion of an Environmen-
tal Impact Report(EIR),it is required to adopt a reporting and monitoring program pursuant to
Section 21081.6 of CEQA and Section 15097 of the CEQA Guidelines.'The purpose of the MMRP is to
ensure compliance with the measures adopted to mitigate or avoid significant environxnental impacts
during project implementation.This MMRI'will not only direct the implementation of mitigation
measures by the specified responsible parties,but also facilitate the City's monitoring,compliance,
and reporting activities,including the activities of any third-party monitors it may designate.
B. PROjECT BACKGROUND
The project site is currently developed with structures that contain office and research and
development uses.These existing structures will be demolished and replaced with new development
as part of the project. The project involve the construction of 3,420,000 square feet of office,research,
and development uses;245,000 square feet of auditorium,fitness center,and parking reception uses;
92,000 square feet of utility plants;and parking and ancillary buildings(such as security receptions
and landscape maintenance buildings). As part of the project,a segment of Pruneridge Avenue will
be vacated by the City to allow for the development of a unified and secure campus and Apple will
also implement changes to local roadways in the vicinity of the project site.The environmental effects
of the project are analyzed and identified in the Apple Campus 2 Project Final EIR.
The Final EIR identifies potentially significant impacts and mitigation measures in the following
areas:
• planning policy
• land use

6. Apple has agreed to install an additional separate fiber optic conduit along
Wolfe Road between the 280 Freeway and Homestead Road, in order to
accommodate City's usage. This will improve the City's communication
systems related to traffic signal operations at no up-front cost to the City.
7. Apple has agreed to fund signal preemption throughout the City,beyond its
obligations under CEQA,which will improve emergency response times,
provide benefits to the entire community.
Based on the entire record, including the EIR and the Economic and Fiscal Impacts report,
the specific economic, social and environmental benefits of the project, as stated above,
outweigh and override any significant unavoidable environmental effects that would result
from future project implementation. The Council has determined that any significant
environmental effects caused by the Apple Campus 2 Project have been mitigated to the
extent feasible through the mitigation measures identified herein and adopted and made
conditions of project approval, and,where mitigation is not feasible,has been outweighed
and counterbalanced by the economic, legal, social, technological and other benefits of the
Project, including region-wide or statewide environmental benefits.
XIV. SUMMARY
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. Those changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of
another public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that
other public agency.
c. 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.
I-81
H. The Development Agreement will result in substantial additional public benefits,
including the following:
1. Although the Housing Mitigation Fee and Construction Tax are not typically
paid until the issuance of building permits, and even in that case, only for the
project phase for which the permit was issued, Apple has agreed to pay (a)
two times the adopted housing mitigation fee in the City's 2013-2014 fee
schedule for net new square footage associated with the project as housing
fund contribution, and(b) the construcHon tax for the first 2.4 million square
feet of construction no later than thirty-one (31) days after the Effective Date
of the Development Agreement. These up-front payments will significantly
accelerate the timing for the City's receipt of these funds.
2. Apple has agreed to include requirements in its contracts with significant
general contractors performing work at the project site to cause Construction
Sales Tax arising from purchases of materials,fixtures or equipment for the
Project to be allocated to the City,to the extent allowed by law, thus
maximizing the tax revenue collected by the City. It is anticipated that this
will result in a direct benefit to the City's General Fund in the amount of
about$12 million.
3. As described above in Section XIII.G.4, the City and an Apple subsidiary
have an existing Tax Consulting Agreement that results in certain sales tax in
California being allocated to the City. The Development Agreement both
extends that Tax Consulting Agreement and reduces the percentage of
compensation paid to the consultant from 50%to 35% on new local tax
revenue amounts over$250,000.
4. If Glendenning Barn is located off-site, Apple will provide about$2.64
million as payment for land, cost of repairs and to maintain and conduct
capital repairs over at least a 20 year period.
5. A 1.1 acre portion of the project site is currently zoned for public park use,
although a park has not been built and the land is currently developed with a
parking lot.Apple has agreed to pay$8,270,994 to the City,which constitutes
sufficient funds to acquire 1.1 acres of park land, improve it with park
equipment and provide a maintenance and capital replacements endowment
for twenty (20) years. As a result of the Project, the City will have adequate
funds to purchase, construct and maintain a new park. Alternatively,instead
of providing funds to purchase a park site,Apple may acquire a 1.1 acre park
site acceptable to the City and dedicate it to the City.
I-80
5. Over the past five years,the number of Apple employees based in Cupertino
increased at an average annual rate of 18 percent.The Economic and Fiscal
Impacts report used a growth rate of 10 percent when estimating that 7,400
employees will be hired between June 2013 and the completion of the Project
in 2016, resulting in a projected total company employee count of 23,400 by
the time the Project opens.Without the Project, due to the limited capacity to
grow in Cupertino, many of those new jobs could go to other surrounding
communities.With the project, Apple will be able not only to remain in the
City,but also could accommodate significant new growth into the future. The
Economic and Fiscal Impacts report finds that Apple also indirectly creates
jobs.Apple currently generates approximately 12,100 jobs indirectly, and the
Report anticipates that there will be over 25,000 jobs indirectly created by
Apple in Santa Clara County, which will bring the total number of Santa
Clara Countywide jobs supported by Apple to more than 40,000.
6. Retaining and intensifying employment at the project site also will result in
indirect fiscal and economic benefits to Cupertino, such as increased
spending and sales taxes in the City due to the proposed increase in
employees on the project site, transient occupancy taxes paid by Apple
visitors, and sales tax generated from retail expenditures of Apple employees
living and working in Cupertino.Direct, indirect and induced effects of the
project will increase Apple's annual employee income and expenditure
potential in the greater Santa Clara County from approximately$2.7 billion
(in 2012) to$3.9 billion including the expenditures from growth in jobs
predicted by the Economic and Fiscal Impacts Report(upon completion of
the project). In addition to employee spending,company purchases create
additional jobs, income and expenditures for Cupertino and broader Santa
Clara County region. In 2012, Apple made$4.6 billion in purchases from over
700 businesses located within Cupertino,Santa Clara and Sunnyvale alone. In
2010 and 2011,local purchases and the number of vendors used by Apple
increased at average annual rates of 36%and 26%, respectively.The
multiplier effect of these purchases on the larger supply chain is substantial.
In 2011-2012, Apple generated approximately$5.9 billion of gross sales for
non-Apple businesses in these same cities. The Economic and Fiscal Impacts
report estimates Apple's increased employment to generate an additional
$2.7 billion in local business revenues in Cupertino, Sunnyvale and Santa
Clara, for an annual total of$8.6 billion.
7. The Project will generate one-time Construction Tax to the City totaling
about$10.7 million, and will result in a significant number of short term jobs
during the construction period, including 9,200 high-quality and high-paying
construction jobs, as documented in Apple's AB 900 application.
I-79
2. The Project is a significant redevelopment of outmoded office parks, and it
represents a major investment on the part of Apple. The Project will provide
stability and predictability for the development of future facilities,
encouraging Apple to continue its growth within the City.As such, it is
expected that Apple will remain on the site and in the City for a long
duration, contributing to community prestige and stability.
3. Keeping Apple's company headquarters in Cupertino and further expanding
its operations in the City will enable the City to maintain millions of dollars
per year in sales tax revenues and significantly increase Apple's contribution
to property, sales, and other taxes.
4. In FY 2012-2013, Apple paid$9.2 million in annual tax revenue to the City's
general fund2. The largest single component of Apple-generated revenues is
certain sales taxes in California. In fiscal year 2011-2012, these taxes totaled
$6.5 million.Under the terms of the Project's Development Agreement, the
existing Tax Consulting Agreement between the City and Baz Industries, Inc.
(an Apple subsidiary),which is scheduled to expire in 2014,will be extended
(until the expiration of the Development Agreement) and amended to reduce
the percentage of compensation paid to the consultant from 50%to 35% on
new local tax revenue amounts over$250,000. By 2016, the sales and use taxes
generated by Apple is estimated to be about$13.7 million, of which about
$9.3 million would be paid to the City's general fund. In 2012,Apple
generated approximately$25 million of local property tax revenue, which
helps to fund City municipal services as well as the Cupertino and Santa
Clara Union School and the Fremont High School Union Districts, the Santa
Clara County Library, the Central Fire Protection District,Santa Clara
County, and other local service/taxing agencies. The project is expected to
generate an additional$32 million in annual property tax revenue to local
public agencies, with total recurring property tax revenues from Apple to
local public agencies expected to exceed$56.5 million each year. Recurring
annual sales tax revenues to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority
("VTA") will also be substantial. VTA tax revenue results from voter-
approved initiatives that levy a 1.125 percent tax on taxable sales. Apple's
existing Cupertino facilities generated$1.3 billion of taxable sales in 2012,
yielding over$14 million of annual tax revenue to the VTA.Upon project
completion, it is estimated that Apple will generate an additional$1.1 million
of VTA tax revenue, for a total anticipated annual VTA tax revenue of$15.4
million.

installation, powered by 100 percent directed biogas,will have a
capacity of 6 MW.
(d) For construction related greenhouse gas emissions, ARB concluded
that Apple will fully offset such emissions by participating in
California's Direct Access program.
E. The Project will foster the development and use of efficient transportation systems
by including an enhanced Transportation Demand Management(TDM)Program
designed to reduce the use of single-occupancy vehicles, improve transit amenities
in the vicinity of the project site, an area already well-served by transit, and improve
the overall existing bicycle and pedestrian environment on surrounding roadways.
Apple will expand its current TDM Program to achieve a 34 percent alternative
mode participation rate (which is, a 6 percentage point peak hour trip reduction and
an increase of 21%over and above its existing TDM alternative mode participation of
28%) and associated peak trip counts at full buildout and occupancy. The expanded
TDM program includes elements such as:expanded Apple coach services areas and
frequency, improved off-campus bicycle infrastructure, prioritized walking and
cycling options,new transit Center,new parking monitoring system,expanded
bicycle-sharing program,electric vehicle charging stations, among other strategies.
F. The Glendenning Barn,which is a listed historic resource, is located on the project
site,but it is not publicly accessible and minimally visible.While it is a resource that
has the potential to enable citizens to connect to the City's agricultural past,it
currently does not perform that function due to its location.As a result of the Project,
Apple will relocate the Barn either on-site in a publicly visible location or elsewhere
in the City to a publicly accessible location. Apple will also renovate the Barn
consistent with the Department of Interior Standards, resulting in an improved
structure.
G. The Project will have the following economic benefits,which will promote policy
objectives in the Land Use/Community Design Element related to economic issues,
including maintaining the vitality of business and manufacturing,existing major
companies within Cupertino, a strong tax base, and the City's fiscal well-being,
which are found in General Plan Policy 2-40 (Maintaining the Vitality of Business
and Manufacturing),Policy 2-20, Strategy 3(Diversity of Land Use,Major
Companies), Policy 2-42 (Revenue Analysis of Office Developments), and Policy 2-44
(Maintain Cohesive Commercial Centers and Office Parks).
1. Apple is the City's largest employer and taxpayer. The current inventory of
office buildings available in the City will not accommodate the company's
continued expansion.Therefore, the project will enable Apple to meet its
current and future business needs in Cupertino.

4. Create hi�h-wa�e,highlv skilled jobs that pay prevailing and living wages:
Sections XIII.G.5 and XIII.G.7,below, identify the numerous direct and
indirect jobs related benefits of the Project, including but not limited to high-
wage, highly skilled jobs that pay prevailing and living wages.
5. Not result in anv net additional emission of greenhouse �ases,including
from em�loyee trans�ortation, as determined by the State Air Resources
Board ("ARB"�:After conducting an independent review of the information
submitted by Apple, on June 14,2012, the Air Resources Board adopted
Executive Order LP-12-002 making a formal determination that the Project
will not result in any net new greenhouse gas emissions, a determination that
was reconfirmed on Apri129, 2013 after considering Apple's updated
application to reflect minor modifications to the Project. In making that
determination,ARB found that,without the Project, the existing buildings on
the project site would likely be re-occupied at their full occupancy, as had
been the case in the past.Therefore,ARB determined that the appropriate
"baseline" to assess net greenhouse gas emissions is the emissions associated
with the existing buildings as if they were fully occupied. ARB's independent
analysis determined that while the "fully occupancy baseline" would cause
greenhouse gas emissions in the amount of 54,482 metric tons of carbon
dioxide equivalent per year (MTCO2e/year), the Project's emissions are
expected to be 38,258 MTCO2e/year. That is,ARB found that while the
employee capacity of the project site will increase from 9,800 employees to
14,200 employees, greenhouse gas emissions are expected to decrease by
16,224 MTCO2e/year. In reaching this conclusion,ARB reviewed all of the
Project's sources of greenhouse gas emissions and took account of the
Project's following innovative approaches to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions:
(a) Apple's commitment to net zero energy for the Project,which will be
achieved through a three-tiered strategy, combining efficiency and
conservation, on-site renewable energy from solar panels and biogas
sustained fuel cells, and off-site renewable energy through Apple's
participation in California's Direct Access program for commercial
customers and from the purchase of renewable energy credits.
(b) ARB found that there will be a reduction in energy use by at least 30
percent compared to a typical commercial development through
energy efficient, green building design.
(c) For the onsite generation of renewable energy, ARB projected that the
solar arrays will have a capacity of 12 MW and the on-site fuel cell

C. The Project will replace predominantly non-native tree species with predominantly
native species, and result in the planting of several hundred fruit trees on-site. The
total number of trees will increase from 4,506 to at least 6,200, and the trees will
primarily consist of native trees, as well as other climate appropriate species.
Additionally, it is anticipated that fruit from the fruit trees will be used at the on-site
restaurants as a sustainable use of the land.The increase in the number and quality
of trees will have beneficial biological impacts by providing improved habitat for
avian species.
D. Pursuant to the jobs and Economic Improvement Through Environmental
Leadership Act, also known as AB 900, the Governor designated the Project as the
State's first"Environmental Leadership Development Project" in recognition of its
innovative and leading environmental attributes, as well as its economic and job-
producing benefits. The City finds that because the Project meets each of the
requirements to qualify as a Leadership Project pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 21180(b) and 21183, as described below, the Project provides significant
benefits to the City of Cupertino and its residents, the region and the State. In order
to qualify as an Environmental Leadership Development Project, a project must meet
the following criteria:
1. Be certified as LEED silver or better bv the United States Green Building
Council:By achieving a LEED silver or better certification, the Project will
replace the existing outmoded and inefficient buildings with more energy
efficient office and research and development buildings, and ancillary
buildings, that include state-of-the-art green building elements, thereby
reducing energy demand, water usage and hazardous materials, among other
benefits.
2. Achieve a 10-percent�reater standard for trans�ortation efficiencv than for
comparable�rojects: One of the challenges faced by Cupertino and the region
is how to meet the demands of growing companies,while minimizing
congestion. The City finds that while the Project may have significant traffic
related impacts, it is a significant benefit that the overall "transportation
efficiency" of the Project will be more than 10-percent better than comparable
projects due to implementation of the Transportation Demand Management
Program, as described in Section XIII.E,below.
3. Result in a minimum investment of one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000�: The Project will result in an investment that far exceeds
$100,000,000,which, as discussed in more detail in Sections XIII.G,below,
will have direct and indirect fiscal benefits to the City and economic benefits
to the entire region.
I-75
freeway segment operating at LOS F.Following comments received on the Draft EIR,
additional study of freeway segments was conducted, and this impact was refined to
include more freeway segments. The percentage of project traffic in the newly identified
segments would not exceed the percentage of project traffic identified in the previously
impacted segments.As a result, the intensity of the impact has not increased. For these
reasons, there is no new significant impact or substantial increase in the severity of this
significant and unavoidable impact;therefore, recirculation is not required.
XIII. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
As set forth above, the City has found that the Apple Campus 2 Project will result in project
and cumulative significant adverse environmental impacts related to air quality, land use,
planning policy, public services and utilities, and transportation and circulation that cannot
be avoided following adoption and implementation of mitigation measures described in the
EIR and made conditions of project approval. 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 21081(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 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's judgment, 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 XI,
above. T'he City further finds that each of the project 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.
A. The Project will occur on an infill site in an existing urbanized area in Cupertino and
will result in regional environmental benefits,because it will not require the
extension of utilities or roads into undeveloped areas, and will not directly or
indirectly lead to the development of greenfield sites in the San Francisco Bay Area.
B. The project site is currently built up with outdated and outmoded buildings
surrounded by dozens of acres of surface parking.The Project will consolidate all
buildings and provide parking in underground and structured parking facilities,
resulting in an increase in pervious surface from 42 acres to approximately 109 acres.
This increased pervious surface will reduce stormwater runoff, reducing flows to the
sewer system and improving water quality in the nearby Calabazas Creek.

documents relating 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 comparison of the alternatives to the Project, the determination of the
environmentally superior alternative, and the reasons for approving the Project.
XI. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Various documents and other materials related to the Apple Campus 2 Project constitute the
record of proceedings upon which the City bases its findings and decisions contained
herein. Those documents and materials are located in the offices of the custodian for the
documents and materials,which is the City of Cupertino Community Development
Department, Cupertino City Hall, 10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, CA 95014-3202.
XII. NO RECIRCULATION REQUIRED
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 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 Final EIR responds to comments, and clarifies, amplifies and makes
insignificant modifications to the Draft EIR. The Final EIR does not identify any new
significant effects on the environment or a substantial increase in the severity of an
environmental impact. Therefore, recirculation of the Final EIR is not required.
At Caltrans's request, the Response to Comments Document contains information on
freeway on-ramp queuing due to ramp metering.On-ramp queuing is generally not
considered a CEQA impact,but rather an operational consideration. The City reviewed six
metered freeway on-ramps to determine if further operational analysis should be
conducted. Increased queuing at only one location, the southbound I-280 on-ramp at
Lawrence Expressway,would warrant ramp improvements. In the PM peak hour, the
existing queues extend the length of the on-ramp. Because the Project would add a
considerable amount of traffic to this ramp, Caltrans requested that the project sponsor
provide additional capacity by adding an HOV preferential lane.The increased queuing
would not lead to capacity or intersection impacts, so the increased queuing does not
represent a significant impact according to CEQA. Therefore, recirculation is not required.
The City will continue to work with Caltrans to determine the operational queuing
considerations for this location. Although not a CEQA impact, the City of Cupertino will
require the Project to fund improvements to the on-ramp as a Condition of Approval,
because the addition of project traffic would increase ramp queues.
The Draft EIIZ identified in Impact TRANS-22 that the Project would have a significant and
unavoidable impact on the level of service of freeway segments because the project would
contribute more than 1 percent additional traffic to 10 mixed flow segments and one HOV
I-73
happen with the Reduced Density Alternative. As for the project sponsor objectives, a
primary objective is consolidating its employees in a single distinctive office, research and
development building, and supporting facilities,but the Reduced Density Alternative
would significantly limit the number of employees who could be located at the new
campus.Several other key objectives identified above would not be met, or to a much lesser
extent. For these reasons, the Reduced Density Alternative is considered infeasible and is
hereby rejected.
E. Environmentally Superior Alternative
CEQA requires EIRs to identify the environmentally superior alternative.The No Project
Alternative would be environmentally superior in the strict sense that environmental
impacts associated with its implementation would be the least of all the alternatives
analyzed in the EIR, including the Project(although the traffic impacts of the No Project
Alternative would be greater than the Reduced Density Alternative). In cases like this where
the No Project Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative, State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(2)requires that the EIR"also identify an environmentally
superior alternative among the other alternatives."
As discussed in Section IV.F of the Draft EIR, the Reduced Density Alternative would be the
environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives. In particular, the
Reduced Density Alternative would avoid or reduce significant traffic,noise, and air quality
impacts due to lower levels of employment on-site compared to the Project.The Reduced
Density Alternative could also be constructed in a shorter timeframe than the Project,
resulting in reduced construction activity and reduced construction impacts related to
traffic,noise, air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. The reduction in operational traffic
impacts is particularly important,because increased traffic affects most members of the
community and is one of the key concerns identified by the community during the EIR
scoping session.
The Reduced Density Alternative would reduce local employment growth by moving this
growth elsewhere in the region.Although the growth not accommodated in Cupertino
would also generate traffic, and associated air quality, noise, and greenhouse gas emission
impacts, these impacts on a per capita basis could be reduced if Apple were to locate the
additional employees in a transit hub like parts of San Jose and San Francisco.
Because the Reduced Density Alternative would reduce traffic and associated impacts
compared to the other alternatives, it is considered the environmentally superior alternative
for the purposes of analysis under CEQA.
X. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
These findings incorporate the text of the Final EIlZ for the Project, the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program, City Staff Reports relating to the Project and other
I-72
The Reduced Density Alternative would reduce local employment growth by moving the
Project's growth elsewhere in the region. Although the growth that is not accommodated in
Cupertino under the Reduced Density Alternative would also generate traffic and
associated air quality,noise, and greenhouse gas emission impacts, these impacts on a per
capita basis could be reduced if Apple were to locate the additional employees in a transit
hub such as parts of San Jose and San Francisco.
The Reduced Density Alternative would not achieve the following City project objectives:
• Encourage the retention of Apple's corporate headquarters in Cupertino within a world
class corporate campus.
• Allow for the expansion of Apple's operations while enhancing the physical
environment of the project area and being sensitive to community needs.
The Reduced Density Alternative would not fully achieve many of the project sponsor's
objectives for the Project, including the following:
Primary Objective:
• Create an innovative and beautiful campus near Apple's Infinite Loop facility that
consolidates Apple's engineers and support personnel in a single distinctive office,
research and development building, and supporting facilities.The purpose of
consolidation is to promote shared creativity and collaboration and spur invention of the
next several generations of Apple products.
Secondary Objective:
• Create a campus that reflects Apple's business and design practices, and allows for a
long-term presence in Cupertino.
The following project sponsor objectives would be achieved,but to a lesser extent than the
Project:
Secondary Objectives:
• Create a campus plan that incorporates flexibility to respond to Apple's future business
needs.
• Enhance the City's tax base.
• Improve traffic circulation while avoiding measures that would unduly restrict
employment growth within the project site.
Although the Reduced Density Alternative would reduce impacts, this Alternative is
rejected as infeasible because it would not achieve numerous City objectives,both for the
City and Apple,including retaining Apple's headquarters in Cupertino,which might not
I-71
the same operational significant and unavoidable impacts. Further,the Reduced
Construction Alternative would not provide some of the Project's environmental benefits.
For example, the Reduced Construction Alternative would include substantially more
surface parking and would have greater impermeable surface. For these reasons, the
Reduced Construction Alternative is considered infeasible and is hereby rejected.
D. Reduced Density Alternative
The Reduced Density Alternative would reduce the effects of the Project on the
transportation system(and achieve other environmental benefits)by reducing employment
at the project site.Under this alternative,the Main Building would be reduced in size and
the project site would accommodate 8,000 Apple employees (6,200 fewer employees than
would occupy the site as part of the Project and 1,800 fewer employees than would occupy
the site as part of the No Project Alternative). This alternative would result in a total of
approximately 2.2 million square feet of office, research, and development uses(compared
to approximately 3,420,000 square feet under the Project). Similar to the Project, the segment
of Pruneridge Avenue within the site would be vacated, allowing for the development of a
unified campus. Overall building site coverage would remain approximately the same as
the Project.
To accommodate the 6,200 employees that would otherwise be located at the project site,
Apple could construct one or more additional campuses at other locations. While no off-site
locations have been identified at this time, a key consideration would be proximity to
regional transit systems,particularly if the campuses are located in the Bay Area. For
example, Apple could consider a location in San Jose (currently home to 24 percent of
Apple's employees) along a light rail line or a location in San Francisco (currently home to
13 percent of Apple's employees) that is well-served by Bay Area Rapid Transit(BART) or
Caltrain. Greater proximity to regional transit systems would enable Apple to achieve a
higher level of TDM participation than the level currently contemplated for the Project.
Furthermore,in developing any new campuses, Apple would retain its commitment to
renewable energy and no net new greenhouse gas emissions.
The Reduced Density Alternative would require the same entitlements and approvals as the
Project.
The Reduced Density Alternative would avoid or reduce significant traffic, noise,
greenhouse gas, and air quality impacts due to lower levels of employment on-site
compared to the Project.The Reduced Density AlternaHve could also be constructed in a
shorter timeframe than the Project, resulting in reduced construction activity and reduced
construction impacts related to traffic,noise, air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. The
reduction in operational traffic impacts is particularly important,because increased traffic
affects most members of the community and is one of the key concerns identified by the
community during the EIR scoping session.
I-70
• Enable a commuting culture where thoughtful site planning and regional connectivity
coupled with a robust TDM program prioritize transit and active commute modes.
• Exceed economic, social, and environmental sustainability goals through integrated
design and development.
• Create a campus that reflects Apple's business and design practices, and allows for a
long-term presence in Cupertino.
• Minimize use of potable water through the use of drought tolerant landscape,water
efficient fixtures, and recycled water, if available as a result of projects now under
consideration, and improve runoff quality by increasing permeable surfaces.
In additional, the following project sponsor objectives would be achieved,but to a lesser
extent than the Project:
Primary Objective:
• Achieve the security and privacy required for the invention of new products by
eliminating any public access through the site, and protecting the perimeters against
unauthorized persons.
Secondary Objectives:
• Provide on-site amenities for Apple's employees in order to promote employees' health
and well-being and reduce off-campus travel.
• Provide an on-site venue for the introduction of Apple's new products that will generate
surprise and delight, and enable the products to be introduced at Apple's corporate
home.
• Create a campus plan that incorporates flexibility to respond to Apple's future business
needs.
Although the Reduced Construction Alternative would reduce short term construction
impacts, this Alternative is rejected as infeasible because it would not achieve numerous
City objectives,both for the Ciry and Apple. Several Ciry objectives focus on the distinctive
design achieved by the Project, including its walkability/bikeability and increased
permeable surface,which could either not be achieved, or to a much lesser degree,with the
Reduced Construction Alternative.As for the project sponsor objectives, a primary objective
is achieving an innovative and beautiful campus that consolidates Apple's engineers in a
single building,which could not be achieved with the Reduced Construction Alternative.
Other project sponsor objectives would similarly not be achieved, or to a much lesser extent.
While the Reduced Construction Alternative would be simpler to construct and could avoid
some significant short term impacts,because it would not achieve numerous objectives,
including primary objectives, it is considered infeasible.It is also noteworthy that the
Reduced Construction Alternative would only avoid short term impacts and would have all
I-69
• Encourage the retention of Apple's corporate headquarters in Cupertino within a world
class corporate campus.
• Allow for the expansion of Apple's operations while enhancing the physical
environment of the project area and being sensitive to community needs.
• Allow for the location and design of Phase 2 of the Project in a way that is sensitive to
surrounding neighborhoods.
• Enhance environmental features within the project area, including stormwater quality
within the City storm drain system and receiving water bodies.
• Maintain consistency with Cupertino's 2000-2020 General Plan and further General Plan
goals and strategies for economic development, neighborhood connectivity, and urban
conservation.
• Provide connections and enhance walkability/bikeability between the project site and
surrounding areas,while promoting the mobility of Apple employees and the public
throughout the Vallco Industrial Park and the greater region.
• Improve traffic circulation, traffic volumes and level of service (LOS) through a
combination of consolidation of office locations and additional TDM programs.
• Increase the use of landscaping compared to paved parking and thereby enhance the
urban environment, reduce impervious surfaces, and reduce stormwater runoff.
• Retain and improve bike and pedestrian connectivity between the project site and
surrounding areas.
The Reduced Construction Alternative would not achieve many of the project sponsor
objectives, including the following:
Primary Objective:
• Create an innovative and beautiful campus near Apple's Infinite Loop facility that
consolidates many of Apple's engineers and support personnel in a single distinctive
office, research and development building, and supporting facilities. The purpose of
consolidation is to promote shared creativity and collaboration and spur invention of the
next several generations of Apple products.
Secondary Objectives:
• Maximize green space, and design this space in accordance with the climate and history
of the area.
• Create a physically unified campus community that improves internal circulation and
eliminates unnecessary access points by consolidating the existing properties within one
campus.
I-68
Although the Pruneridge Avenue Alternative would avoid the impacts associated with the
closure of Pruneridge Avenue, this Alternative is rejected as infeasible because it would not
achieve numerous City objectives, including retaining Apple's headquarters in Cupertino,
which might not happen with the Pruneridge Avenue Alternative. As for the project
sponsor objectives, the primary objective is achieving a secure and private campus, which
could not be achieved with the Pruneridge Avenue Alternative. Other important project
sponsor objectives would also not be achieved. For these reasons, and as further discussed
in the Final EIR, the Pruneridge Avenue Alternative is considered infeasible and is hereby
rejected.
C. Reduced Construction Alternative
The Reduced Construction Alternative would allow for the development of a new corporate
campus while reducing impacts related to short-term construction impacts associated with
excavation.
The Reduced Construction Alternative assumes that the same amount of developed square
footage would be constructed on the project site but with a different campus configuration
and design that would resemble a traditional office co�nplex, with multiple office buildings
and minimal sub-grade building space. The Reduced Construction Alternative is intended
to allow for the development of an expanded corporate campus while producing
substantially reduced short-term impacts from construction-related noise, construction
traffic, air quality, and grading and soil disturbance compared to the Project.
Compared to the Project,the Reduced Construction Alternative would increase the footprint
of buildings because less interior square footage would be accommodated in sub-grade
areas and would decrease the amount of available permeable surfaces.Approximately 64
acres of permeable surfaces would be provided on the site under the Reduced Construction
Alternative, compared to approximately 102 acres that would be provided as part of the
Project.Similar to the Project, Glendenning Barn would be located either on-site or off-site.
The Reduced Construction Alternative would require the same entitlements and approvals
that would be requested as part of the Project, although a General Plan amendment for
increased building height may be required.
The Reduced Construction Alternative would result in less excavation and grading than the
Project and, therefore, would reduce construction-related traffic,noise, greenhouse gas
emissions, and air quality impacts compared to the Project. However, the Reduced
Construction Alternative could increase land use and planning policy, aesthetic,biological
resources,hydrology and water quality,noise and greenhouse gas emission operational
impacts compared to the Project.
The Reduced Construction Alternative would not achieve the following City project
objectives:

private shuttle or public transit vehicles,or ridesharing)from the existing 28 percent.A target of 34
percent at full buildout has been identified as a reasonable target because it is considered aggressive
but achievable for office developments in suburban locations greater than'h mile from a rail station.
While higher alternative mode share rates have been established for a few corporate campuses,these
higher rates have generally been in areas more urban than Cupertino where there is a higher density of
transit facilities. The TDM target would be measured at the peak commute hours,when roadways are
most congested.
Project impacts at intersections and freeway segments can be mitigated by increasing the facility's
capacity through physical improvements or by reducing the ainount of added project traffic through
TDM measures. At locations where there are no feasible physical mitigation measures to reduce
identified impacts to less-than-significant levels,the alternative mode share increase(and associated
vehicle trip reduction) to 34 percent can reduce the severity of the impact. In addition to reducing the
severity of intersection and freeway impacts,the TDM program expansion was also utilized in the
evaluation of the site's parking demand and associated parking supply.
The City evaluated the feasibility of a mitigation measure requiring a"trip cap."Under a trip cap,
once development of the project site generates trip volumes that exceed AM and PM peak-hour
values for triggering impacts to the transportation system, continued development and growth at the
project site would be halted.A trip cap was rejected as infeasible because it would conflict with a key
project objective of consolidating Apple's engineer and support personnel in one location. In addition,
such a trip cap would liinit employment growth on the site,which would be undesirable to Apple and
the City for economic reasons and would conflict with a key project objective of developing a campus
that can accominodate 14,200 employees.
Instead,"peak trip counts"are established as the goals that would drive the full implementation of
TDM measures in order to reduce physical iinpacts on the transportation system. Peak trip counts,
which would be established for the AM and PM peak hours of adjacent street traffic,would help
determine if more robust TDM measures are required to reduce project traffic. In this way,peak trip
counts are used to establish mitigation and monitoring measures that address the project's impact on
the transportation system while allowing for planned growth within the site as part of the project.
Details o Miti�ation Measure TRANS-9b. As part of Mitigation Measure TRANS-9b,Apple
would be required to expand its TDM prograin to achieve a 34 percent(i.e.,a 6 percentage point peak
hour trip reduction) alternative mode participation rate and associated peak trip counts at full buildout
and occupancy of 14,200 employees. The details of the implementation of Mitigation Measure
TRANS-9b are discussed in this section. The TDM prograin expansion component of Mitigation
Measure TRANS-9b includes some or all of the elements listed below. These elements include: (1)
new TDM measures already proposed to be added as part of the project,including TDM ineasures
already impleinented by Apple under existing conditions that would be expanded as part of the
project; and(2) additional measures.
New and Expanded Project TDM Measures. The following measures are new or expanded
measures that would be implemented as part of the project. Existing measures are presented in Table
V.I-6.
• Apple Transit. Expand Apple coach service areas and frequency,and provide priority drop-
off locations for transit users. Participation in Apple transit shall be measured and reported
in real time,with the goal of increasing mode share from 12 percent to 15 percent;
• Mass Transit Shuttle Links. Expand Apple shuttle services to include connections to future
high-capacity corridors such as VTA BRT lines,electrified Caltrain lines, and Santa Clara
BART extensions. The goal is to exceed the baseline 1-2 percent public transit mode share;
• Off Campus Bicycle Infrastructure. Improve off-campus bicycle infrastructure, including:
bike lanes,bike paths,high-visibility striping,bike boxes at key intersections and other
features to encourage safe cycling to and from the site. Strive to increase bicycle mode
share from 2 percent to 5 percent;
• Campus Walking/Cycling Commutes. Prioritize walking and cycling to the site for those
employees who live closest to the campus by providing more convenient pedestrian and
bicyclist access to the Main Building,providing bike lockers closest to the entrances of the
Main Building, and increasing the distance between on-site parking and work space(i.e.,
by accommodating much of the project parking underground or in structures,at a distance
from work space). Since the majority of proposed parking is not adjacent to office and
laboratory space,it is anticipated that the commute time for those employees in a 0-5-mile
radius of the project site would be less by bike and foot,than by car;
• Transit Center. Provide a Transit Center with an information desk for employees to retrieve
maps and information on alternative commute options. The information desk shall be easily
accessible from the Main Building;
• Parking Monitoring System. Develop a parking monitoring system that would ineasure
individual parking space utilization and collect data to optimize other TDM programs. For
example, arrival time information shall help guide new shuttle schedules throughout the
Apple transit systein. The system shall complement other TDM programs by identifying
open parking spaces in various zones and directing employees to the closest zone with an
open space,which can help reduce on-site congestion. Some of the data collected shall be
included in an annual parking utilization report submitted as part of TDM reporting;
• Expanded Bike-sharing Program.Apple shall provide at least 1,000 bikes within the
project site to enhance mobility and promote cycling as a viable commute option; and
• Electric Vehicle Charging. Apple shall provide at least 300 charging spaces for electrical
vehicles.
Additional TDM Measures. If the measures listed above are ineffective in ineeting the peak trip
counts goal,Apple shall impleinent additional measures until the peak trip counts goal is achieved.
Apple shall choose from ainong the following when selecting additional measures to meet the peak
trip counts goal:
• Expand Mobile Transit Applications. Provide real-time vehicle location and seat availabil-
ity for Apple transit. Integrate this information with data on fixed-route transit(including
VTA and Caltrain real-time arrival/departure times),comparative travel times,and parking
availability so employees have a single information source to compare travel options and
make informed mode choice decisions before they leave home or work;
• Visibility of Transit Stops. Improve signage and visibility of transit stops on/adjacent to the
project site beyond that already required by the Conditions of Approval;
• Increase Bicycle Awareness. Offer free clinics,classes,workshops,and other services,like
a bike kitchen,to prioritize bicycle-commuting to/from the project;
• Flexible Work Schedule. Apple shall enable a flexible work schedule in a way that is
compatible with its corporate culture.A flexible work schedule would shift trips away from
the AM and PM peak periods;
• Rewards Program. Develop a rewards/incentive program for alternative commute partici-
pants, such as free meals, car-share vouchers,products,and raffles for prizes;
• Reduced/Subsidized Bicycle Tune-ups. Offer free,or subsidized,bicycle tune-ups to
employees who regularly commute by bicycle;
• Real-time Ridesharing. Introduce real-time ridesharing to commute website and mobile
applications to maintain and expand the potential ride-sharing base of commuters. The goal
is to increase ride-sharing participation beyond 10 percent;
• Telecommuting. Encourage telecommuting where business practices allow;
• Car-sharing. Expand the campus car-sharing fleet and offer deeper discounts for those who
cycle and walk to work. Consider making the program free to further incentivize alternative
commute options;
• Universal Transit Passes. Offer universal transit passes to all employees(i.e., Caltrain GO
Pass or VTA Eco Pass); and
• Parking Cash-Out. Provide a parking cash-out program under which Apple provides
employees with a cash allowance in lieu of a parking space. For instance,Apple could
provide employees with a inonthly cash benefit that is drawn down each day they use a free
parking space at the project site.
• Other Viable TDMMeasures. Other TDM measures identified in consultation with the
City.
TDM Prograin Monitoring. If the project is approved,Apple would be required to implement a
TDM program that increases its non-single-occupant vehicle mode share from 28 to 34 percent at full-
occupancy,resulting in an AM and PM peak-hour vehicle trip reduction of 6 percentage points. As
part of Mitigation Measure TRANS-9b, a robust monitoring program would be required to ensure that
this TDM prograin mitigation ineasure is iinpleinented and that the required trip reduction is achieved.
The monitoring program would be subject to review and approval by the City of Cupertino. The TDM
monitoring program would start 6 inonths after occupancy of Phase 1. TDM inonitoring shall occur
over the life of the project.The TDM inonitoring program shall be conducted annually for the first 10
years. If the monitoring reveals that the peak trip counts have not been exceeded in the last 3 years of
the first 10 years of annual monitoring,the TDM monitoring shall be reduced to once every 2 years.
However,if any biennial report reveals that the peak trip counts have been exceeded,the inonitoring
shall revert to annual monitoring until such times that the peak trip counts have not been exceeded for
three consecutive annual reports.
TDM Program Goal
The goal of the program is to ensure that the TDM program reduces the amount of traffic generated by
Apple Campus 2 buildings to fewer than 4,270 AM peak-hour vehicle trips and 4,400 PM peak hour
vehicle trips,where peak hours are defined as the time periods on the adjacent street with the highest
hourly volumes occurring during the morning and evening commute periods. The AM and PM peak
hour trips represent traffic generation estimates evaluated in this EIR with an additional6 percentage
point reduction(using gross trip estimates from Table V.I-8: 4,544 AM peak hour trips x 94%_
approximately 4,270 AM peak trip count;4,686 PM peak hour trips x 94%=approximately 4,400 PM
peak trip count).
Monitoring ProQram
The TDM program monitoring would consist of two main elements: (1) Summary of Implemented
TDM Measures to be provided by Apple,and(2)TDM Monitoring Report to be conducted by an
independent city-approved transportation planning/engineering firm. Each of these components is
described below.
1. Summary of Implemented TDM Measures
Apple would submit annual reports to the City describing the specific TDM measures that
are being implemented,the number of employees on site,and the success of the measures
expressed in AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips and vehicle trips per employee. The
report and data collection would be prepared based on established measurement and
monitoring guidelines created by Apple and the City prior to occupancy.
To determine the effectiveness of the expanded TDM program Apple shall collect the
following verifiable data and provide a report to the City(within 180 days of the date of the
first certificate of occupancy)and annually thereafter:
• Apple Transit Ridership-Counted electronically on vehicles and visually verified at
the transit center
• Public Transit Ridership-Counted at area VTA stops
• Cycling/Walking Volumes -Counted via bike/pedestrian entrances and verified using
security footage or in person �
• Carpool Volumes -Counted at entrance plazas and verified via security footage
2. TDM Monitoring Report
An independent City-approved transportation planning/engineering finn would be retained by
the City to collect data and present the results of the inonitoring prograin in a written report.
The data collection efforts would include vehicle counts conducted for all Apple Campus 2
driveways and/or parking facilities. Daily,hourly, and fifteen-minute period counts would be
taken at the driveways and/or parking facilities over a 2-week period. Counts obtained during
the three midweek weekdays(Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday)would be averaged. The trip
counts for the site driveways would be added together. Counts shall be performed between
inid-February and late May(before the end of the school year and not during school holidays
such as Spring Break) or between Labor Day and Thanksgiving week. Counts shall avoid
days immediately before or after holidays or long weekends,and shall not be performed on
days with inclement weather. Figure V.I-11 illustrates the required TDM monitoring process
to evaluate the project site's peak trip counts.
If the AM and PM peak hour trip generation of Apple Campus 2 is less than 4,270 AM peak-hour
vehicle trips and 4,400 PM peak-hour vehicle trips,no additional TDM measures would be required.
Trip rates expressed as AM and PM peak hour vehicle trips per employee would also be reported to
assess the vehicle trip-reducing effect of the measures in the current TDM program. The count results
would be divided by the number of employees on site. The results would be compared to the AM
peak hour rate of 0.32 vehicle trips per employee and PM peak hour rate of 0.33 vehicle trips per
employee,which represent the existing 28 percent alternative mode share at the Apple Infinite Loop
campus and the buildings south of Mariani Avenue. The target rates are 0.30 AM peak hour vehicle
trips per employee and 0.31 PM peak hour vehicle trips per employee. However,the peak trip counts
specified above will be the determining factors as to whether Apple has to implement additional TDM
measures.
Actions if TDM Progr�am is Not Achieved
The City would notify Apple if one or both of the AM and PM peak hour vehicle trip counts (i.e.,
4,270 AM peak-hour vehicle trips and 4,400 PM peak hour vehicle trips) are exceeded, as described
above. Apple would be required to meet with the City to develop a plan and identify new TDM
measures to be added to achieve the peak trip counts. If Apple does not agree to implement the City
approved TDM measures,then Apple would be assessed a$5 per day per trip penalty(adjusted
annually starting in 2014 per the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in the San
Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area) for the monitoring period. Payinents of these penalties are due to
the City within 30 days of issuance of an invoice with supporting documentation. The funds from
these penalties would be used at the City's discretion. Within 60 days Apple would be required to
meet with the City to reevaluate and identify City-approved new TDM measure to be implemented at
the project site. This cycle would continue until Apple agrees to implement City-approved TDM
measures.
Once Apple and the City agree on new TDM measures,Apple would implement these within 60 days
of the notification date. Follow-up counts, surveys, and/or collection of parking utilization data would
be conducted by an independent City-approved transportation planning/engineering firm 60 days after
the new measures are implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of the new TDM plan. If the peak
trip counts are still exceeded,Apple would pay a fee of$3 per day per extra vehicle trip shown in the
peak trip counts(adjusted annually staring in 2014 per the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consuiners in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area). The funds from these fees would be used to
provide for City-wide implementation of TDM prograins and improvement of bicycle and pedestrian
facilities. Payments of these penalties are due to the City within 30 days of issuance of an invoice
with reasonable upporting documentation. After three months,Apple would be required to meet with
the City to identify City additional approved new TDM measures to be added. If Apple still is not
meeting the goal during the next annual monitoring period,penalties would be continued to be levied,
until the peak trip counts goal is met.
Monitorin�ProQram Funding
Apple would pay the City for the annual monitoring costs including the cost to conduct monitoring
and City staff tiine to review the annual monitoring reports.
Monitorin�ProQram Duration
Annual monitoring will be conducted for the first 10 years of the project. If in the last 3 years the trip
thresholds are not exceeded,the monitoring will change to an every other year cycle. However,if any
biennial report reveals that the peak trip counts have been exceeded,the monitoring shall revert to
annual monitoring until such times that the peak trip counts have not been exceeded for three
consecutive annual reports.
The project sponsor would be required to construct feasible physical mitigation measures for project-
specific impacts. These inay include the relocation of existing utilities,relocation and/or upgrade of
existing traffic signal hardware and equipment, and other associated improvements in the rights-of-
way,including but not limited to traffic signal poles and cabinets, striping of crosswalks,etc.
