A. Purpose and Content The Town of Los Gatos proposes to adopt the revised AHOZ, amend the Tech- nical Appendix of the adopted Housing Element, and revise to the Town Code to implement the requirements of the proposed AHOZ. Specifically: The Technical Appendix of the 2007 -2014 Housing Element, adopted by the Town in March 2012 and certified by the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) on September 21, 2012, would be amended to revise the potential housing sites list in the Housing Sites Inventory (Table 6 -1 of the Housing Element, Technical Appendix) to accurately reflect the parcels selected for designation with the AHOZ and the maximum amount of potential development that could occur on each identified site under the AHOZ designation. The Town Code would be amended to incorporate the proposed AHOZ, and the zoning map would be revised to illustrate on which parcels the AHOZ is applied. An individual AHOZ would be adopted for each of the five identi- fied sites, with specific allowances and criteria for each site. The AHOZ pro- vides incentives and sets requirements for affordable housing development on designated parcels. The AHOZ is an overlay zone and, as such, the AHOZ would not change the base zoning designations on the AHOZ sites. Property owners would retain all development rights associated with the base zoning designation. Prior to amending the Technical Appendix of the General Plan's Housing Element, and Town Code to reflect the proposed AHOZ, the Town of Los Gatos, as the Lead Agency, is required to review the modifications to these documents and de- temune whether or not the modifications would change the conclusions of the certified 2010 General Plan EIR, which also evaluated the Housing Element. The purpose of this EIR Addendum is to present an Initial Study analysis of the modi- fications of the Housing Element of the Los Gatos General Plan 2020. TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 3 0 3 0 F E I R ADDENDUM I N T R O D U C T I O N Chapter I, Introduction, presents an introduction and description of the modifica- tions to the Technical Appendix of the approved General Plan's Housing Element that would be required to implement the proposed AHOZ. Chapter II, Analysis, presents a discussion of relevant CEQA statutes in Sections 15162 and 15164, as well as the Initial Study checklist analysis of potential environmental impacts asso- ciated with implementation of the AHOZ. Since the modified project was found to cause no new significant impacts, no summary table of impacts has been includ- ed. B. Approved Project In 2010, the Los Gatos Town Council certified the EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2009032078) for the Los Gatos General Plan 2020 (General Plan), which guides all development within the Town. The certified Final EIR analyzed the potential im- pacts that could result from residential development allowed under the General Plan, including the identification of sites with capacity for affordable housing in the Housing Element and its companion Technical Appendix. To ensure that each AHOZ housing site is able to potentially develop at the development capacity an- ticipated by the Housing Element and that the Town is able to accommodate its projected fair share of the regional housing need, the Housing Element includes Action Item HOU -2.1, to amend the Town Code to fully implement the required AHOZ. The Draft FIR, published March 10, 2010, analyzed the potential impacts of apply- ing the AHOZ to ten parcels on seven sites, with capacity to accommodate 673 units. These sites were: ♦ Los Gatos Courthouse (single parcel) ♦ Southbay Development (single parcel) ♦ Oka Road /Lark Avenue (three parcels) ♦ Swanson Ford (single parcel) ♦ Bentley (single parcel) ♦ South Bay Honda (two parcels) ♦ Dittos Lane (single parcel) After publication of the Draft EIR, and prior to the publication of the Final EIR on June 16, 2010, the single parcel on the Bentley site was removed from consider- ation as an AHOZ site. Therefore, the Final FIR, as certified by the Town Coun- TOWN OF LOS GATOS GENERAL PLAN 1010 FEIR ADDENDUM INTRODUCTION cil, analyzed the application of the AHOZ to nine parcels on six sites, with capacity to accommodate a total of 621 units. C. Pmposed Modified Project Since the Final EIR was certified in 2010 and Housing Element was certified by the State HCD in September 2012, the Town has been working to implement the pro- visions of the Housing Element. This effort included the development of the AHOZ program to address the remaining unmet Regional Housing Needs Alloca- tion (RHNA) since the document was adopted and certified. In the process of developing the AHOZ, the Town has updated the list of potential housing sites, which includes the designated AHOZ parcels, as well as the density allowed under the AHOZ. Table 1, Parcels Removed from AHOZ Consideration since Certification of the Final EIR, shows the eight parcels, on five sites, that have been removed from con- sideration as potential AHOZ sites since the General Plan Final EIR was certified. The proposed AHOZ designations in the Housing Element Technical Appendix would be removed from these eight non - designated parcels. These parcels will continue to be listed in the Housing Element's Housing Sites Inventory since the list is intended to be an inclusive list of potential housing opportunity sites docu- mented by the Town during 2007 -2014 Housing Element Period and is not limited only to AHOZ- designated sites. The eight non - designated opportunity sites will not be included in the AHOZ and the existing underlying General Plan land use designations and Zoning designations of these parcels will remain unchanged. 1. Sites Removed from the Final EIR AHOZ Under the proposed modified project, these parcels would not receive the AHOZ designation and their current base General Plan land use designation and zoning designations would remain unchanged. The existing land use and zoning designa - dons are: ♦ Los Gatos Courthouse: Public land use designation, Office zone ♦ Oka Road /Lark Avenue: Low Density and Medium Density Residential land use designations, R -1:8 and RM -5:12 zones ♦ Swanson Ford: Mixed Use Commercial land use designation, Highway Com- mercial zone, Planned Development (CH;PD) ♦ South Bay Honda: Mixed Use Commercial land use designation, Highway Commercial zone, Planned Development (CH:PD) ♦ Dittos Lane: Mixed Use Commercial land use designation, Downtown Resi- dential zone (R -1:D) TOWN OF Los GATOS GENERAL PLAN 3030 FEIR ADDENDUM I N T R O O U 0 TI ON TABLE 1 PARCELS REMOVED FROM AHOZ CONSIDERATION SINCE CERTIF/CAT /ON OF THE FINAL EIR Oka Road /Lark 6.4 20 128 -128 Avenue Parcel A Oka Road /Lark 3.0 20 60 -60 Avenue Parcel B Oka Road /Lark 3.0 20 60 -60 Avenue Parcel C Swanson Ford 4.5 12.7 57 -57 Single Parcel South Bay Honda 1.0 20 20 -20 Parcel A South Bay Honda 0.9 20 18 -18 Parcel B Dittos Lane 1.6 20 32 -32 Single Parcel Total 479 -479 Source: Town of Los Gatos, 2013 2. AHOZ Sites Added since the Final EIR In addition to removing some parcels from AHOZ consideration, under the modi- fied project the Town would also apply the AHOZ to the following four sites. ♦ Los Gatos Lodge Site A (single parcel) ♦ Los Gatos Lodge Site B (single parcel) ♦ Higgins Business Park (single parcel) ♦ Oak Rim /North Blossom Hill Site N (single parcel) Under the modified project, the AHOZ would continue to apply to the Southbay Development site (single parcel) that was included in the AHOZ in the certified Final EIR but at a reduced base density.

This Addendum considers the maximum possible development on each site for purposes of environmental evalu- ation. Figure 1, Affordable Housing Overlay Zone Sites, shows the locations of the elim- inated and currently proposed AHOZ sites listed in Tables 1 and 2. The AHOZ designation on these sites would allow up to 20 units per acre as a base density, as evaluated in the certified Final FIR. However, a potential density bonus of up to 35 percent could be applied to the sites with the AHOZ depending on the final site development and design guidelines adopted by the Town Council. The density bonus would not automatically be applied, but could be allowed by right as a potential developer requested concession based on an individual development project conforming with the final AHOZ site development standards and design guidelines as adopted by the Town Council. The proposed modifications to the approved project that would be necessary to implement the AHOZ would allow 32 fewer affordable housing units town -wide, from 621 potential units to 619 potential units (589 new units) if the maximum density bonus were developed on all sites, as shown in Table 3, Change in AHOZ Units Analyzed in the Certified Final EIR..

Therefore, of the 619 total units allowed on the sites, 589 could potentially be net new units. Source: Town of Los Gatos, 2013.

A revised Table 3 -1 is included on page 9 of this chapter. Changes made to the table are identified in ''-' `-xt to indicate dele- tions and in underlined text to signify additions. D. Environmental Setting This EIR Addendum addresses potential environmental impacts of amending the Town's General Plan and Town Code to adopt the AHOZ and implement the adopted Housing Element. These amendments represent a modification of the General Plan and Housing Element (the "Approved Project ") that were analyzed in the certified Final EIR. As described above, the modified project includes remov- ing some parcels from consideration as AHOZ sites, retaining one site, and adding new sites. In the interest of full disclosure, this section describes existing land uses and current land use designations on the eliminated, remaining, and new AHOZ sites. 1. Project Location The Town of Los Gatos is in Santa Clara County. It is part of the Bay Area region and lies approximately 8 miles to the southwest of San Jose, the region's largest city. It is nestled against the foothills of California's Coast Range and is located on the Bay Area's southwestern urban edge. For a more detailed description of the Town of Las Gatos and its setting, see Chapter 1 of the Los Gatos General Plan 2020, as well as Chapters 1 and 3 of the certified Final EIR. Figure 1 illustrates the location of the project area within the regional and local contexts. 2. Existing and Surrounding Land Use The predominant developed land uses in the Town of Los Gatos are residential, commercial, retail, office, medical, civic, and institutional. The following are narra- tive descriptions of existing General Plan land use designations and existing land uses on each of the AHOZ sites in the modified project. / / q ] » 7Si 2 » ; maa IN \ { / ..: } � }}} 7! 7; +a }} ) 3 G ) ] j G \ ; e a q k � $ \ \ ) j § § 0. » § ; 4 q ! 0 ) \ § § oil s\: d 4)j ] » a IN a ) \ }} ! j ) 2 )� ��\ a /! | a$ | /� � | | 2 � ■ §� » °�§ 8 / / q ] » 7Si 2 » ; maa IN \ { / ..: } � }}} 7! 7; +a }} ) 3 G ) ] j G \ ; e a q k � $ \ \ ) j § § 0. » § ; 4 q ! 0 ) \ § § oil d ] » a a \ j � \\ \ )! 7 §\ \ \} ( )\ ) §ƒ } {\ ) }} < \\ ) {� ) §\ )\ ƒ/ \} )/ \� \ \\ \)\ \\ } TOWN OF LOS GATOS GENERAL PLAN 2020 FE /R ADDENDUM INTRODUCTION a. Southbay Development (Single Parcel) The Southbay Development site is a single parcel near Highway 17, Highway 85, and the site of the future Vasona Light Rail Station. The parcel is 7.4 acres and contains aging office buildings. The General Plan designates the property for High Density Residential development. The existing zoning designation is Controlled Manufacturing (CM). b. Los Gatos Lodge Site A (Single Parcel) The Los Gatos Lodge Site A is a single parcel adjacent to Los Gatos Lodge Site B. The site consists of 1.5 acres and currently contains a hotel parking lot located on the Los Gatos - Saratoga Road at Highway 17. The General Plan designates the property for Mixed Use Commercial development. The existing zoning designation is Restricted Commercial Highway, Planned Development (CH:PD). c. Los Gatos Lodge Site B (Single Parcel) The Los Gatos Lodge Site B is a single parcel adjacent to Los Gatos Lodge Site A. The site consists of 7 acres and currently contains a 129 room hotel. The General Plan designates the property for Mixed Use Commercial development. The exist- ing zoning-designation is Restricted Commercial Highway, Planned Development (CH:PD). d. Higgins Business Park (Single Parcel) The Higgins Business Park site is a single parcel located on the north side of Blos- som Hill Road, adjacent to Highway 17. The site currently contains an office com- plex situated on 3.2 acres of land. The General Plan designates the property for Office Professional development. The existing zoning designation is Office (0). e. Oak Rim /North Blossom Hill Site N (Single Parcel) The Oak Rim /North Blossom Hill Site N site is a single parcel located on the north side of Blossom Hill Road. The rear lot line of the parcel abuts Highway 17. The site currently contains an apartment complex with 30 units situated on 3.8 acres of land. The General Plan designates the property for Medium Density Resi- dential development. The existing zoning designation is Multi -family Residential, 5 -12 dwelling units per acre (RM:5 -12). S. Decision ro Prepare an Addendum Pursuant to Section 21166 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, after an EIR has been certified 11 TOWN OF LOS GATOS GENERAL PLAN 2020 FE /R ADDENDUM INTRODUCTION for a project, if some minor technical changes to the previously certified EIR are necessary, preparation of an Addendum to the EIR is appropriate. A supplemental EIR is not required unless there is substantial evidence that modifications to the project would substantially increase the severity of the impacts identified in the previous EIR. Under CEQA, "substantial evidence" includes facts, reasonable assumptions predicated upon facts, and expert opinion supported by facts. As determined through the detailed analysis of the Initial Study checklist in Chapter II of this document, the approval of the AHOZ would not involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identi- fied significant effects beyond those already identified in the certified Final EIR. Given this finding, an Addendum to the existing EIR has been prepared in accord- ance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, this addendum to the Los Gatos General Plan 2020 EIR is sufficient. Chapter II of this Addendum contains additional explanation regarding the decision to prepare an Addendum. 12 11 ANALYSIS This chapter considers the provisions of Sections 15162 and 15164 of the CEQA statutes and discusses how an addendum to the Los Gatos General Plan 2020 EIR is appropriate for the modified project. This chapter also applies the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist to provide evidence to substantiate the conclu- sions set forth in this analysis. A discussion will be provided to determine whether or not the modified project is consistent with the findings contained in the General Plan EIR. A. CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 in the CEQA statutes provide, respectively, detailed in- formation on when subsequent EIRs must be prepared, and direction on when and how to instead issue an addendum to an EIR. This section addresses the stated requirements and instructions for the preparation of such documents, and demon- strates why the preparation of an addendum to the Los Gatos General Plan 2020 EIR is appropriate for the proposed project changes. 1. 15162. Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations The most applicable CEQA Guideline regarding analysis of the modified project and the appropriate level of review is from Section 15162, which provides: (a) Wlben an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR sball be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determiner, on the basis of substan- tial evidence in the ligbt of the whole record, one or more of the following• (a)(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity ofpreviousfy identified significant effects; The proposed changes to the location of the housing sites and number of dwelling units included in the Los Gatos General Plan 2020 and Housing Element are a result of the creation of the Affordable Housing Overlay Zone (AHOZ). The AHOZ was anticipated in the General Plan. Specifically, Action HOU -2.1 in the Housing Element stipulates the need to amend the Town Code to include the AHOZ. The modified AHOZ would result in the removal of the AHOZ designa- tion from parcels on five sites, maintain the AHOZ designation for one site, apply the AHOZ designation to four new sites, and increase the maximum allowed densi- 13 TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 2 0 2 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S ty on all AHOZ sites.' Overall, these modifications would result in a net decrease of 32 dwelling units from what was analyzed in the General Plan EIR and a de- crease in the total development capacity from 621 units to 619 units (589 new units) during the 2007 -2014 planning period. These changes are illustrated in Ta- bles 1, 2, and 3 of the Chapter I, Introduction, of this Addendum. The proposed change does not require major revisions of the 2010 General Plan certified Final EIR, and as substantiated in this document, the modified project would not result in new significant environmental effects or significantly increase the magnitude of previously identified significant effects whereby new mitigation measures would be required. (a)(2) Substantial changer occur with respect to the am m stances under which the project is un- dertaken which nnlf require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new sign (cant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which General Plan 2020 was crafted and adopted, and as mentioned above, the creation of the AHOZ was anticipated as a part of the implementation of the Housing Element. As substantiated in this document, the proposed project chang- es will not require major revisions of the General Plan EIR. (a)(3) New information of substantial importance, which war not known and could not have been known witb the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as com- plete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the fallowing: (a)(3) (A) The project will have one or mom significant efects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative dedaration; (a)(3)(B) Significant efctspreviously examined =11 be substantially more revere than shown in the pmvioar EIR; (a)(3)(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not lobe feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or mom significant fects of the project, but the project proponents deckne to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or 1 The base density allowed under the AHOZ would be 20 dwelling units per acre. The maximum allowed density could be reached through a 35 percent density bonus. The density bonus would not automatically be applied, but could be allowed by right as a re- quested development concession based on compliance with the AHOZ Site Development Standards and Design Guidelines as adopted by the Town Council. 14 TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 2 0 2 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S (a)(3)(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably di event from those an- alyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more signficant effects on the environment, but the pmjectproponents decb'ne to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Since the certification of the General Plan EIR, no new, previously- unknown infor- mation of substantial importance to the General Plan 2020 has come to light that will affect the mitigation measures that were adopted and the alternatives that were considered as a part of the decision - making process for the certified Final EIR. The proposed project modifications will not create new significant effects that were not previously analyzed, nor will the magnitude of impacts exceed the established thresholds of significance. No new mitigation measures are proposed, and the M6- Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted as a part of the certified Final EIR remains adequate to mitigate impacts caused by the modified project. The alternatives that were analyzed also remain applicable to the project and do not need to be reconsidered; the modified project does not create new impacts that would require new analysis of project alternatives. (b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prpare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. Since the findings under Section 15162 subdivision (a) indicate that it is not neces- sary to prepare a subsequent EIR, the lead agency has determined that it is appro- ptiate to prepare an addendum to the certified Final EIR. (c) Once a pmject has been approved, the lead ageng's role in project approval is completed, unless furtber &smitonag approval on that project is required. Information appearing after an approval does not require reopening of that approval If after the project it approved, any of the conditions described in subdivision (a) occurs, a subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall only be pre- pared by the public agency wbich grants the next discretionary approval far the project, if arty. In this situation no other responsible agency sballgrant an approval far the project until the subse- quent EIR has been certified or subsequent negative declaration adopted The Town of Los Gatos will be seeking discretionary approval for the modified project associated with and to amend the zoning map in order to apply a parcel - specific AHOZ to five individual parcels. As substantiated in this document, the modified project does not create new significant impacts that would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and an addendum to the certified Final EIR would be appropriate to satisfy CEQA. The California Department of Housing 15 TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 2 0 2 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S and Community Development (HCD) is a responsible agency that certified the Town's Housing Element in September 2012, with a requirement that the Town adopt an AHOZ as noted in the Housing Element implementation action. The Town Council will consider the addendum to the certified Final EIR, in addition to the certified Final EIR in its decision - making process. (d) A subsequent EIR or subsequent negative declaration shall be given the same notice and public review as required under Section 15087 or Section 15072. A subsequent EIR or negative decla- ration shall state where the previous document is available and can be reviewed. Since the proposed modified project would require no subsequent EIR, it is not necessary to provide the notice or provide for the public review referenced in sub- division (d). 2. 15164. Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration (a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling forpreparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred The AHOZ represents an anticipated implementing action called for in the Hous- ing Element; this EIR addendum provides additional information specifically rele- vant to the changes to the certified General Plan FIR caused by the AHOZ. As discussed above and substantiated below, none of the conditions from Section 15162 which would require a subsequent EIR are present. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared f only minor technical changes or additions an necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred The Los Gatos General Plan 2020 was the subject of a full EIR, not a negative declaration; therefore subsection (b) does not apply. (c) An addendum need not be eirculated for pubic review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. Acknowledged. Although not required, this Addendum will be made available for public review as part of the packet for the Planning Commission and Town Coun- cil meetings at which the AHOZ will be considered. 16 TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 2 0 2 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S (d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum udtb the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the pmject. Acknowledged. The Town Council will consider the addendum to the General Plan EIR and act on the AHOZ prior to the end of 2013. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the pmject, or &eivhere in the record The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. The preceding discussion and the analysis below serve to explain the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR and to demonstrate, with substantial evidence from the CEQA Appendix G checklist, why a subsequent EIR is not required. B. AppendixGCheckh'st The following analysis uses the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Environmental Checklist to demonstrate using substantial evidence, that the proposed changes caused by the AHOZ would not create new environmental impacts, or otherwise exacerbate those discussed in the certified Final EIR. Development of the modified project would result in: ♦ the removal of the AHOZ designation from eight parcels on five potential housing sites; ♦ continued application of the AHOZ to one parcel on one potential housing site that was included in the certified Final EIR; ♦ application of a site - specific AHOZ designation to four parcels on four new potential housing sites, for a total of five AHOZ parcels on five separate sites; ♦ a slight increase in the density allowed on all AHOZ sites; and ♦ a net decrease in the total number of dwelling units on the potential housing sites from what was analyzed in the certified Final EIR The proposed project does not include construction of any units, but rather, would allow construction of new housing units. 17 TOWN OF LOS GATOS G E N E R A L P L A N 2 0 2 0 F E I R A D D E N D U M A N A L Y S I S 1.

Future development of the five parcels would be subject to the oversight and re- view processes envisioned by the goals and policies stipulated in the General Plan 2020 and established within the Town Code. They would be consistent with the Town's numerous policies which strive to: promote high quality, compatible design in order to preserve the small -town visual quality and character; protect existing scenic vistas, viewsheds, and visual resources, including views of ridgelines and other prominent features of the natural environment; and minimize potential fight pollution and glare. Similar to the analysis in the certified Final FIR, adherence to existing laws and regulations would minimize potential aesthetic impacts that would be created by the proposed modified project. Therefore, the modified project would not create new aesthetic impacts that have not been previously analyzed in the certified Final FIR, and no new mitigation measures are required. iff TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 2 0 2 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S 2.

Impacts to forest resources were not analyzed in the certified Final EIR as the re- quirement to analyze forest resources in environmental documents did not become effective until the adoption of the Senate Bill (SB) 97 amendments (adopted De- cember 31, 2009, effective March 18, 2010) to the CEQA Guidelines, which oc- 19 TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 1 0 3 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S curred after the commencement of the General Plan 2020 Update and EIR. Prior to the adoption of SB 97, forest resources had not yet been generally recognized as an environmental issue. Therefore, the analysis to impacts on forest resources is new in this addendum. Since little agricultural land remains in Los Gatos, the General Plan EIR addressed agricultural impacts under the Land Use and Planning environmental topic. The EIR found one significant impact related to agricultural resources. It was deter- mined that the conversion of Unique Farmland to other uses in the North Forty Specific Plan Area would constitute a .agnitant and rfnavoidable impact and that no feasible mitigation measure existed. None of the parcels associated with the modi- fied project are within the North Forty Specific Plan Area. Additionally, none of the sites include parcels that are designated as Prime, Unique, or Farmland of Statewide Importance; agriculturally zoned; or designated as Williamson Act land; forest land; timberland; or timberland zoned for Timberland Production. All pro- posed AHOZ parcels under consideration in the modified project are disturbed and have been developed with urban uses. Development of the modified project would continue to be subject to the oversight and review processes envisioned by the General Plan and established within the Town Code. Its implementation would not alter or substantially worsen the signif- icant impact to agricultural resources specified in the FIR or any other agricultural and forestry resource impact. The modified project would not result in new im- pacts to agricultural and forestry resources. No new significant impact would oc- cur, and no new mitigation measures are required. 3.

Therefore, a Health Risk Assessment would not be required prior to approval of housing on this site. Housing on the Oak Run /North Blossom Site N and Higgins Business Park site would be adjacent to Highway 17 and exceed the BAAQMD screening thresholds for cancer risks and PM2.5. BAAQMD's CEQA guidelines would recommend that future development projects on these sites conduct a site - specific Health Risk As- sessment to determine whether proposed housing would expose sensitive receptors to significant risks, prior to approval of a specific housing project on these sites. The certified Final EIR found that implementation of General Plan 2020 would have a signitani and unavoidable impact under air quality threshold (a). Though the General Plan itself would contain a variety of provisions to reduce vehicle miles traveled, these provisions would be insufficient to reduce the impact to less than significant. It was further determined that there were no feasible mitigation measures for this significant impact. Implementation of the proposed modifica- tions would result in a net decrease in the number of new units and associated con- struction activity, and would therefore not worsen this or any other air quality im- pact, nor would it result in new significant impacts to air quality. Therefore, technical changes to the air quality analysis in the General Plan EIR are not required, and no new mitigation measures are necessary. 4.

Specifically, the policies, regulations, and re- quirements of the Safety Element of the General Plan and the California Building Code would continue to ensure that new development analyze local liquefaction, seismic, and other soils - related risks and undertake appropriate development and construction techniques adequate to mitigate these hazards. Adherence to these policies and regulations would likewise ensure no new impacts would occur as a result of unstable soils, soil spreading, or expansive soils. By complying with these General Plan policies and State regulations there would therefore be no change to these particular impacts as analyzed by the General Plan FIR, and they would re- main lets than significant. The same General Plan and State policies and regulations discussed above would also serve to prevent impacts related to erosion and topsoil loss. Individual pro- jects would be required to demonstrate compliance with all applicable local, region- al, and State regulations, including best practices for the prevention of erosion and mnoff related to both construction activities and to ongoing stormwater drainage. Finally, all potential AHOZ- designated parcels would be served by municipal sewer systems, and there would therefore be no impact in regard to the ability of area soils to support septic systems. By complying with these General Plan policies and State regulations, there would therefore be no change to these particular impacts as analyzed by the General Plan FIR, and they would remain less than signicant. Given all of the above, it is concluded that implementation of the modified project would neither cause new geological and soils impacts nor exacerbate any existing ones. Technical changes to the geology and soils analysis in the certified Final EIR are not required, and no new mitigation measures are required. 7.

Development of the AHOZ parcels would not generate enough GHG emissions on its own to influence global climate change significantly; hence, the issue of glob- al climate change is by definition a cumulative environmental impact. The General Plan FIR found that implementation of General Plan 2020 would have a iigmfirant and unavoidable impact to GHG emissions until a climate action plan is prepared. The Town has adopted a Sustainability Plan to mitigate impacts to GHG emis- sions. The Sustainability Plan will actively serve to reduce GHG emissions to be- low levels set by adopted State legislation and would therefore mitigate GHG emis- sions within the Town limits. Any development allowed under the AHOZ would be required to be consistent with the measures in the adopted Sustainability Plan. The modified project would result in a net decrease in the number of housing units and therefore overall vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analyzed in the certified Final EIR. Adherence to the Sustainability Plan, the General Plan, and statewide measures, including the Building and Energy Efficiency Standards (part of the Cali- fornia Building Code) and the California Green Building Code (CALGreen) adopt- ed for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions would adequately ensure that the modified project would neither cause significant new GHG emissions impacts nor exacerbate any existing impacts. Technical changes to the certified Final EIR are not required, and no new mitigation measures are required. E TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 3 0 2 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S 8.

None of the sites would experience development that would alter the drainage pattern or course of a stream or river. One proposed AHOZ parcel, the Southbay Development Site, includes a small area that falls within the 100 -year floodplain of Los Gatos creek. However, the policies of the General Plan would ensure that development would either not take place in the 100 year flood plain, or would be required to show it adequately miti- gates potential flooding impacts. Given the small area of this site which falls within the floodplain, site design, including situating occupied structures away from the flood zone, would be able to easily preclude any development in the vulnerable area. The modified project would therefore not result in construction of housing or buildings within a 100 -year flood hazard area. No other potential AHOZ par- cels are within a 100 -year flood hazard area. Since all of the proposed AHOZ parcels are within the inundation areas of the Lenihan and /or Vasona dams, allowing development on these parcels has the po- tential to expose structures and occupants to flood hazards in the event of dam failure. However, each of these projects would be subject to the oversight and review processes, and standards that are envisioned by the General Plan, estab- lished within the Town Code, and /or otherwise required by State and federal regu- lations. Through the environmental review process for the individual projects, additional mitigation may be required to further reduce impacts and risks associated with placing the subject housing developments within dam inundation areas. There are no areas of Los Gatos that have been identified as vulnerable to tsunami or seiche. None of the proposed AHOZ sites are located in areas characterized by steep hillsides or significant grades, and all sites are located one - quarter mile or greater from areas with significant topography. Additionally, conformance with the policies of the General Plan would serve to prevent conditions conducive to mud- slides, further reducing potential impacts. Therefore, potential impacts from these phenomena would be unchanged from the General Plan EIR and would remain lets than tigmficant. Overall, the modified project would not contravene any aspects of the General Plan, including land use designations, allowed uses, or oversight procedures that address hydrology and water quality. Implementation of the modified project would therefore neither cause new hydrology or water quality impacts, nor exacer- bate any existing ones. Technical changes to the hydrology and water quality analy- sis in the certified Final EIR are not required, and no new mitigation measures are required. 33 TOWN OF LOS GATOS G E N E R A L P L A N 3 0 1 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S 10.

These noise levels are "conditionally accepta- ble" according to the Noise Element of General Plan 2020 and multifamily residen- tial development within these noise contours would require special study and miti- gation prior to approval. However, compliance with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan, the Town's Noise Ordinance, and California Noise Insulation Standards would control these impacts, there would be no change from the impacts analyzed under the cer- tified Final EIR, and these noise impacts would therefore remain less than significant. Individual projects would be subject to the oversight and review processes, and standards that are envisioned by the General Plan, established within the Town Code, and /or otherwise required by the federal and state regulations. In compli- ance with local and State standards, individual projects would be required to ensure interior and exterior noise levels consistent with applicable land use compatibility standards. Additionally, the modified project would not contravene any aspects of the General Plan, including land -use designations, allowed site uses, noise limits, or other restrictions that address noise and vibration impacts. Implementation of the modified project would therefore neither cause new noise impacts, nor exacerbate any existing ones.

This would therefore result in a net increase of 14 new units above the levels of development analyzed in the certified Final EIR. Using student generation rates used for the analysis in the certified Final EIR, this would result in the addition of six new students in the LGUSD and three new stu- dents in the LGSJUHSD.3 There is no change to the number of units proposed within the Union or Cambrian School Districts from what was analyzed in the certified Final EIR. The need for additional school services is addressed by compliance with school impact assessment fees per Senate Bill 50. Pursuant to Section 65996(3)(h) of the California Government Code, payment of these fees is considered full and com- plete mitigation that would offset impacts from any increased demand for school facilities. Development of 32 fewer units would decrease the need for additional park space and library facilities. The General Plan contains goals, policies, and actions that ensure adequate and accessible park and open space and trail systems are provided and that Los Gatos residents have sufficient access to library services and facilities. Compliance with these regulations would further ensure that impacts associated with the modified project would remain at less- than - significant levels. Implementation of the modified project would not contravene any aspects of the General Plan, including land use designations and allowed building intensities that could impact demand for Town services. Therefore, project implementation would neither cause new impacts in regard to provision of Town services, nor exacerbate any existing ones.

This analysis is not based on current lane configurations and traffic controls but considers lane configurations and traffic controls that are anticipated to be in place in 2020, based on the Town's adopted 2020 General Plan and current Capital Im- provement Program (CIP). Traffic signals are located at all study intersections, with the exception of the Winchester Boulevard and Albright Way intersection, which is a side -street stop - controlled intersection. The intersection of Winchester Boulevard and Courtyard Club entrance is currently a side -street stop- controlled intersection with only an eastbound approach from the Courtyard Club entrance. This intersection will become signalized with the addition of the Albright develop- ment and add a westbound approach for access to the Albright development. 45 TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 1 0 3 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S Cumulative 2020 volumes are based on the land use designations in the adopted 2020 General Plan and are illustrated in Figure 3, Cumulative 2020 Condition — Lane Geometry and Traffic Control. From the General Plan, the long range travel demand model (the "model') maintained by VTA was utilized to generate the future growth. Since the 2010 General Plan certified Final FIR utilized the 2005 (base- line) and 2030 horizon years, these analysis years and their output were retained for use in this 2013 Addendum. Using the model, volumes were determined by grow- ing the existing volumes to obtain 2020 link volumes during the AM and PM peak hours, and future, balanced peak -hour intersection turning movement volumes were projected based on existing trip patterns and existing and future fink volumes. Year 2020 link volumes were then converted to year 2020 peak hour intersection turning movement volumes to allow for direct comparison to the existing condi- tion turning movement volumes. These volumes were evaluated at the study intersections. Results of the LOS analy- sis are presented in Table 5, along with the minimum standard for acceptable LOS and the planned 2020 traffic control at each intersection. Detailed evaluation re- sults are included in the Appendix. According to evaluation results, all intersections satisfy operational standards. b. Project Impacts This analysis evaluates the turning movement volumes that would result from the potential land use changes that would be allowed under the implementation of the proposed AHOZ, as compared to the approved project analyzed in the 2020 General Plan Draft EIR. Additional information and data used in this transportation analysis can be found in the Appendix. Trip generation for the AHOZ sites was calculated using trip generation rates from the industry standard reference, the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation, 9' Edition. For each site, an apartment land use was used for determining rates. The impact analysis includes adjustments to the North 40 project traffic generation assumed in the General Plan model. The North 40 project was evaluated by Fehr and Peers in a separate study. Two alternatives were proposed: Alternative A, which does not include an office component; and Alternative B, which does in- clude an office component. For this analysis, Alternative A was used, which in- dudes 278,000 square feet of shopping center, 20,000 square feet of supermarket, 46 Kimley Horn and Associates, 2013.

Trip generation and trip distribution in- formation was obtained from the Fehr and Peers study and utilized in this AHOZ Addendum. Since the model output used for the 2010 certified Final EIR assumed a higher trip generation and land use intensity for the current North 40 project, a net decrease in trips was applied to the network. The impact analysis includes adjustments to the Albright project as well. The Al- bright project was recently approved for 485,000 square feet of office /research and development building. It was originally assumed that the Albright project would be 550,000 square feet. The project will also remove ten existing buildings totaling 250,000 square feet, for a net new 235,000 square feet of office /research and de- velopment building. The Albright project will install a traffic signal at the intersec- tion of Winchester Boulevard and the Courtyard Club entrance for access to the project site. This intersection is currently a side -street stop - controlled intersection with only access on the eastbound approach for the Courtyard Club entrance. The project will construct a westbound approach for access to the Albright project. Both the development allowed under the approved Albright project, and new traf fic signal and westbound approach, are considered to be in place for the purposes of the AHOZ project impact analysis. i. Impacts at 20 Dwelling Units perArre Density (AHOZ without Density Bonus) This section addresses potential transportation impacts of the proposed 2013 AHOZ at 20 dwelling units per acre, without an additional density bonus. Table 6 presents the AHOZ sites as proposed under the modified project. Table 7 shows the number of trips generated for each site in the AM and PM peak hours. As shown in Table 7, there would be a net increase in daily trips of 902 trips, a net decrease in AM peak trips of -13 trips, and a net increase in PM peak trips of 84 trips for the new AHOZ. The updated 2020 General Plan with the proposed 2013 AHOZ turning movement volumes were evaluated at the study intersections and can be seen in Figure 4, 2020 Plus AHOZ ( without Density Bonus) Peak Hour Turning Movement Volumes.

With the implementation of these improvements, all study intersections operate at LOS D or better. Right -of -way is currently owned by the Town at some of the locations proposed for improvement; however, other locations would require right -of -way acquisition and some specific locations may require removal of puking or other existing roadway features to adequately design the proposed improvement. Overall, the proposed roadway and intersection improvements called for in the 2020 General Plan would be constructed within an area that is already utilized for existing roadway features. These improvements would not require development of undeveloped land and therefore would not be expected to have significant environmental impacts. However, an appropriate level of project - specific environmental review would be required at the time each improvement is designed and approved. The General Plan EIR found that implementation of General Plan 2020 would have a significant and unavoidable impact in regard to traffic and transportation. The General Plan EIR identified a set of roadway improvements that were neces- sary to mitigate potentially significant traffic impacts; however, at the time of the EIR, there were insufficient funds to undertake those projects. Since these modifi- cations were not certain to take place, the impact remained significant and unavoid- able, as of the time of General Plan adoption. Adoption and implementation of the proposed AHOZ is not anticipated to substantially worsen this or any other traffic or transit related impacts. In fact, because the AHOZ may enable people who work in Los Gatos to five in Los Gatos, implementation of the AHOZ could serve to decrease traffic and transportation impacts. 17.

As mentioned in Section 9, Hydrology and WaterQxaliDi, the modified project would comply with existing federal, State, and local water quality requirements and regula- tions, including those specified in the General Plan 2020 in order to minitnize im- pacts to water quality. The modified project would result in a decreased water de- mand below what was analyzed in the certified Final EIR. This incremental de- crease in water demand and, consequently, in wastewater generation is negligible 67 TOWN OF LOS G A T O S G E N E R A L P L A N 1 0 2 0 F E I R ADDENDUM A N A L Y S I S compared to the overall demand analyzed in the EIR. The San Jose Water Com- pany and San Jose /Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant would continue to have sufficient capacity to accommodate water and wastewater treatment needs. The General Plan also includes goals, policies, and actions to reduce water con- sumption and ensure water and wastewater facilities are expanded and /or con- structed, as needed to meet the projected demand. The General Plan also address- es planned growth to ensure that the projected demand on utilities and infrastruc- ture, including storm drain facilities, landfills, and energy consumption, are met. Since the total number of new units would be slightly decreased under the modified plan, there would be no new utilities - related impacts or increases to the severity of these impacts, and the overall impact would remain lets than tignotant. As the modi- fied project would adhere to the vision by the General Plan and all subsequent land use and zoning designations, it would therefore neither cause new impacts in regard to provision of utility services, nor exacerbate any existing ones. Technical changes to the utilities and infrastructure analysis in the certified Final FIR are not required, and no new mitigation measures are required. 18. Mandatory Findings of Significance a.

Based on the substantiations provided in the certified Final EIR and with imple- mentation of the mitigation measures identified therein, the General Plan 2020, as amended with the September 2012 Addendum for the Sustainability Plan, would have a significant adverse effect on the environment, either individually or cumula- tively, directly or indirectly with regards to Air Quality, Land Use and Planning, and Transportation /Traffic. The proposed modified project would result in additional a reduced amount of residential development on sites that have been previously disturbed with urban uses. None of the proposed AHOZ sites are located in areas of sensitive habitat or in close proximity to documented populations of endangered or other special - status species.

Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental ef- fects of a project are consider- able when viewed in connec- tion with the effects of past projects, the effects ofother current projects, and the ef- fects of probable future pro- ronmental effects which will cause substantial adverse ef- $ fects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?

None of the proposed AHOZ sites are located in areas of sensitive habitat or in close proximity to documented populations of endangered or other special - status species.

Additionally, as with development anticipated under the General Plan 2020, furore development associated with the modified project would be consistent with the long -term goals of developing affordable housing in accordance with the Town's General Plan. Because the modified project would result in a decrease in the amount of residential development proposed by the project, the project would ex- acerbate or create any new cumulative impacts. Implementation of the proposed AHOZ by incorporating it into the Town Code would not result in impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable. Cumulative impacts of the modified project would not be greater than those determined by the General Plan EIR. This addendum reviewed the modified project's potential impacts to all of the envi- ronmental topics included in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The mitiga- tion measures contained in the General Plan EIR would remain sufficient to ensure that potential impacts remain less than significant and no new significant impacts would occur from implementation of the modified project. The changes to the proposed project evaluated in this addendum would not result in new significant impacts or affect the severity of the identified significant or significant and una- voidable impacts of the General Plan 2020 as evaluated in the certified Final EIR. Therefore, the modified project's impacts to human beings, either directly or indi- rectly, would not be greater than those determined by the General Plan EIR. 70
