Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)has been prepared for the General Plan
Amendment,Housing Element Llpdate and Associated Rezoning Project.The purpose of the MMRP is to
ensure the implementation of mitigation measures identified as part of the environmental review for the
proposed Project.The MMRP includes the following information:
■ The full text of the mitigation measures;
� The party responsible for unplementing the mitigation measures;
■ The timing for implementation of the mitigation measure;
" The agency responsible for monitoring the implementation; and
■ The monitoring action and frequency.
The City of Cupertino must adopt this MMRP, or an equally effective program,if it approves the proposed
Project with the mitigation measures that were adopted or made conditions of project approval.

surveys can be stopped. Locations of active nests containing
viable eggs or young birds shall be documented and protective
measures implemented underthe direction ofthe qualified
biologist until the nests no longer contain eggs or young birds.
Protective measures shall include establishment of clearly
delineated exclusion zones(i.e.demarcated by identifiable
fencing,such as orange construction fencing or equivalent)
around each nest location as determined by a qualified
biologist,taking into account the species of birds nesting,their
tolerance for disturbance and proximity to existing
development.In general,exclusion zones shall be a minimum
of 300 feet for raptors and 75 feet for passerines and other
birds.The active nest within an exclusion zone shall be
monitored on a weekly basis throughout the nesting season to
identify signs of disturbance and confirm nesting status.The
radius of an exclusion zone may be increased by the qualified
biologist if project activities are determined to be adversely
affecting the nesting birds. Exclusion zones may be reduced by
the qualified biologist only in consultation with California
Department of Fish and Wildlife.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are foraging independently or the nest is no longer active.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZ,4a:Construction at the sites with known contamination
shall be conducted under a project-specific Environmental Site
Management Plan(ESMP)that is prepared in consultation
with the Regional Water Quality Control Board(RWQCB)or
the Department of Toxic Substances Control(DTSC),as
appropriate.The purpose of the ESMP is to protect
construction workers,the general public,the environment,

possibility of encountering unknown contamination or hazards
in the subsurface.The ESMP shall summarize soil and
groundwater analytical data collected on the project site
during past investigations;identify management options for
excavated soil and groundwater,if contaminated media are
encountered during deep excavations;and identify
monitoring,irrigation,or other wells requiring proper
abandonment in compliance with local,State,and federal
laws,policies,and regulations.
The ESMP shall include measures for identifying,testing,and
managing soil and groundwater suspected of or known to
contain hazardous materials.The ESMP shall:1)provide
procedures for evaluating,handling,storing,testing,and
disposing of soil and groundwater during project excavation
and dewatering activities,respectively;2)describe required
worker health and safety provisions for all workers potentially
exposed to hazardous materials in accordance with State and
federal worker safety regulations;and 3)designate personnel
responsible for implementation of the ESMP.
HAZ,4b:For those sites with potential residual contamination
in soil,gas,or groundwater that are planned for
redevelopment with an overlying occupied building,a vapor
intrusion assessment shall be performed by a licensed
environmental professional. If the results of the vapor
intrusion assessment indicate the potential for significant
vapor intrusion into an occupied building,project design shall
include vapor controls or source removal,as appropriate,in
accordance with regulatory agency requirements.Soil vapor
mitigations or controls could include vapor barriers,passive
venting,and/or active venting.The vapor intrusion
assessment and associated vapor controls or source removal
can be incorporated into the ESMP(Mitigation Measure HAZ-

TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC
TRAF-1:The City of Cupertino shall commit to preparing and City of Cupertino
implementing a Transportation Mitigation Fee Program to
guarantee funding for roadway and infrastructure
improvements that are necessary to mitigate impacts from
future projects based on the then current City standards.As
part of the preparation of the Transportation Mitigation Fee
Program,the City shall also commit to preparing a"nexus"
study that will serve as the basis for requiring development
impact fees under AB 1600 legislation,as codified by California
Code Government Section 66000 et seq.,to support
implementation of the proposed Project.The established
procedures under AB 1600 require that a"reasonable
relationship"or nexus exist between the transportation
improvements and facilities required to mitigate the
transportation impacts of new development pursuant to the
proposed Project.The following examples of transportation
improvements and facilities would reduce impacts to
acceptable level of service standards and these,among other
improvements,including multimodal improvements that
reduce automobile trips and relieve congestion,could be
included in the development impact fees nexus study:
• SR 85 Northbound Ramps and Stevens Creek Boulevard
(#2):An exclusive left-turn lane for the northbound leg of
the intersection(freeway off-ramp)at the intersection of
SR 85 and Stevens Creek Boulevard would result in one
left-turn lane,one all-movement lane,and one right turn
lane.The additional lane could be added within the
existing Caltrans right-of-way.

■ Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road/De Anza Boulevard and

■ De Anza Boulevard and I-280 Northbound Ramp(#6):
Restriping of De Anza Boulevard in the southbound
direction to provide room for right turn vehicles to be
separated from through traffic may be required.The bike
lane woutd be maintained,and right turns would occur
from the bike lane.The right turns would continue to be
controlled by the signal and would need to yield to
pedestrians.
■ De Anza Boulevard and Stevens Creek Boulevard(#8):
Restripe westbound Stevens Creek Boulevard to provide
room for right turn vehicles to be separated from
through vehicles may be required.The right turn vehicles
will share the bike lane and will still be controlled by the

° De Anza Boulevard and McClellan Road/Pacifica Drive(#9):
Realign the intersection that is currently offset resulting
in inefficient signal timing such that the McClellan Road
and Pacifica Drive legs are across from each other may be
required. In addition,double left turn lanes may be
required to be added to De Anza Boulevard with sections
of double lanes on McClellan Road and Pacifica Drive to
receive the double left turn lanes.These improvements
will require the acquisition of right-of-way and demolition
of existing commercial buildings. However,some existing

• Wolfe Road and Homestead Road(#16):The addition of a
third southbound through lane to the southbound
approach of the intersection of Wolfe Road and
Homestead Road may be required,as well as the addition
of a southbound exclusive right-turn lane.Three
southbound receiving lanes on the south side of the
intersection currently exist.An additional westbound
through lane for a total of three through-movement
lanes,an additional receiving lane on Homestead
westbound to receive the additional through lane,as well
as the addition of a westbound exclusive right-turn lane
may be required.This will require widening Homestead

three through-movement lanes,an additional receiving
lane on Homestead eastbound to receive the additional
through lane,as well as the addition of an eastbound
exclusive left-turn lane for a total of two left-turn lanes
may be required.These improvements will require the
acquisition of right-of-way and demolition of parking
areas.
■ Wolfe Road and I-280 Northbound Ramp(#18):The Apple
Campus 2 project will be adding a third northbound lane
starting at the northbound on ramp.This third lane will
need to be extended farther south to effectively serve
the additional northbound traffic due to the General Plan
development.This could require widening the Wolfe
Road overcrossing. Right-of-way acquisition may be
required.In accordance with Caltrans procedures,a
Project Study Report(PSR)will need to be prepared.The
PSR will look at all interchange improvement options,
which may include widening the overcrossing and may
include redesign of the interchange to go from a partial

the City may wish to pursue a redesign of the

these improvements,the intersection would operate at
