Cosgrove, Town Clerk C18 \MISC \KREINES Consultant: Name Title Approved as to Form: Katherine Anderton, Town Attorney Page 5 of 5 Town of Los Gatos Proposal & Statement of Qualifications Amendments to the Los Gatos General Plan At Environmental Impact Report Kreines & Kreines A California Corporation 58 Pasco Mirasol Tiburon, CA 94920 Phone: (415) 435 -9214 Fax: (415) 435 -1522 February 5, 1992 Understanding of the Problem The Town of Los Gatos seeks to amend its General Plan by allowing intensification of identified parcels. These parcels are in proximity to the S.R. 17 /S.R. 85 interchange and the so- called "S.R. 85 Corridor." In 1985, when the Los Gatos General Plan was adopted, the Town anticipated that such development would occur. However, the Los Gatos General. Plan only discusses the changes to these parcels generally and it was made clear that, at the time further details were known, a General Plan Amendment would be needed. Accordingly, the existing Los Gatos General Plan does not assign new land uses to the identified parcels to be included in the General Plan Amendment. The needs for the General Plan Amendment are several. A recent economic market analysis found that the area could support a "power center,' which would provide goods and services not now available to the residents of the Town of Los Gatos. Higher density and affordable housing must be placed somewhere in the Town of Los Gatos. The high volume and diversity of transportation alternatives in this location make the identified par- cels ideal locations for such higher density uses. The economic market analysis also showed potential for a hotel and some offices in the vicinity. While the general types and intensities of land uses might be known, precise locations have not been proposed and agreed upon. The objective of this General Plan Amendment, at least to a level of detail that identifies what land use(s) can be considered on which parcels, is to clarify Town policy on this matter. There are many interests concerned with this General Plan Amendment, including a General Plan Committee, which is charged with addressing these and other concerns in the Town. First and foremost, the Town of Los Gatos finds itself in a declining fiscal posi- tion, partly because of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. More importantly, Los Gatos has continually experienced 'leakage" of sales tax dollars to other communities such as San Jose. At the same time, the landowners of some of the identified parcels have been waiting patiently for the proper time to proceed with development plans. Finally, the neighbors of the identified parcels will take a keen interest in proposals for intensifica- tion. There are numerous constraints on the proposed General Plan Amendment: Not only does Los Gatos suffer in terms of long term fiscal impacts, it cannot provide a substantial budget to undertake this effort. While the transportation /circulation characteristics of the General Plan Amendment area have always been considered limited, the new S.R. 85 connection will ease that condition. Most of Los Gatos is built out, and the close proximity of available land for intensifica- tion does not exist elsewhere. While this is a key advantage of the General Plan Amendment area, the limits of intensification are constrained by neighboring parcels which are built out to their maximum potential. • • 9= Kreines & Kreines, Inc. believes that there are several windows of opportunity which are presently open for the pursuit of the proposed General Plan Amendment. A window of time is now available when all of the options -- land use, transportation and community ac- ceptance -- are more open than they have been or will be. The disruption of development and construction could occur at the same time as the construction of the S.R. 85 facility is planned to occur within the next five years. If people are going to suffer through construc- tion, it might as well occur all at once. The need for the proposed project is most manifest at this time. The window of space is opening now because more traffic capacity will be available with the completion of S.R. 85. However, such capacity will not last forever, since freeways tend to attract traffic and reach capacity over time. General Plan Amendment Kreines & Kreines believes that the Town of Los Gatos does not intend to study the en- tire Town of Los Gatos or revise and update the Los Gatos General Plan. This effort is only concerned with a General Plan Amendment area. Kreines & Kreines defines the "General Plan Amendment area" as that area containing the identified parcels intended for intensification and neighboring areas that would be impacted by such intensification. This proposal is limited to the degree of specificity which can be undertaken in such a General Plan Amendment. General Plan Amendment in this proposal means that the details are general. This means that land uses will be discussed only generally and that ad- verse and beneficial characteristics of such land use will only be discussed generally. Kreines & Kreines does not know — and does not expect to know — the exact use of each parcel down to the placement of buildings on the respective sites. In keeping with the Los Gatos General Plan, the General Plan Amendment would retain a policy orientation. All discussion of the General Plan Amendment will be at the level of discussion in the ex- isting Los Gatos General Plan and the Los Gatos General Plan EHL An increase in the level of specificity would be inconsistent and infeasible under the timeline and budget in this proposal The essence of the planning process is decision making- Should the power center go here or there? Where should the housing go? How many pedestrian linkages and where? The combinations are endless. Kreines & Kreines, Inc. believes that time and budget do not permit this project to be "designed" at this early stage. Rather, the emphasis should be on flexibility- assign as broad a land use designation as possible (e.g., "mixed use ") and assume the worst possible case for impacts. This leaves more latitude for private developers at subsequent stages of review and decision- making. Cvera!l:cc - -;_- Kreines & Kreines, Inc. proposes a single document approach. The General Plan Amend- ment itself will be the same as the proposed project that is studied within the EIR. The General Plan Amendment would include by reference the original General Plan and its EIR. Instead of proposing changes to each page of the Los Gatos General Plan, the General Plan Amendment would use the format of the Los Gatos General Plan EIR in discussion of the Environmental Setting and the CEQA checklist in discussing Project Im- pacts. Kreines & Kreines believes that further entitlements (at least zoning and subdivision) are necessary before most of the identified parcels may proceed with development. There- fore, the General Plan Amendment EIR serves more to ask for definitive answers to ap- propriate questions than to provide all of the required data at this level of effort. Accord- ingly, mitigation measures may propose further studies and investigations which would be carried out under the aegis of the monitoring program. When doubt or uncertainty cloud an EIR issue, the accepted practice is to always evaluate the "worst -case scenario." Unless otherwise specified, the worst -case scenario will be studied in the proposed EIR. Monitoring Program Since the Los Gatos General Plan EIR was certified in 1985, AB 3180 was passed by the State of California and requires the Town to adopt a reporting or monitoring program. The Town of Los Gatos must monitor all changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. Kreines & Kreines proposes a monitoring program for the proposed EIR which will identify- • The responsibility each agency has for monitoring mitigation measures for significant impacts. • The responsibility for paying formtch monitoring procedures as well as paying for mitigating the significant impacts. In most cases, the monitoring program will identify what actions need to be taken at sub- sequent steps in the planning process. A Monitoring Program recently prepared for another City is enclosed as an example of a monitoring program for a General Plan Amendment project Scope of Services /Methodology Task 1. Convene Initial General Plan Committee Meeting Attendance at this meeting will include Consultant, any appropriate Town of Los Gatos staff and Committee members. This meeting is not intended to be open to the public and should not be noticed as a public meeting. The agenda for this meeting is as follows: . Introduction of attendees. • Presentation by Consultant of this proposal. • Presentation of General Plan Amendment area as shown in Exhibit 1. . Presentation of Redevelopment Area No. 2 as shown in Exhibit 1. Discussion and agreement on a timeline, including the two future General Plan Com- mittee meeting dates. Discussion and agreement on identified parcels for intensification. Discussion and agreement on the types of land uses to be placed on the identified par- cels, with ideas of the number of dwelling units, population intensity (persons per acre), floor - area -ratios (FAR) and average daily trips (ADTs) envisioned per major thoroughfare. The sum of these actions is to suggest the nature of the proposed General Plan Amend- ment. Acceptance of or agreement on the above topics will provide direction for Consult- ant in the preparation of the General Plan Amendment. Town Staff will provide notice of the meeting to all participants. Town Staff will provide the following visuals for the meeting: 1" = 200' Zoning Base Map showing all potential parcels to be included in the General Plan Amendment area. . Aerial photograph of S.R. 85 /S.R. 17 interchange showing vertical relief. Any information that attendees of this meeting want to provide to Consultant shall be sub- mitted at the close of this meeting. Consultant will prepare a memorandum that sum- marizes the agreements reached at this meeting. This memorandum of agreement will form the basis for (but not become) the General Plan Amendment.

This contract only specifies that certain properties within a known area will change. Which properties and how they will change need to be deter- mined at this meeting. This will be done via alternatives analysis by Committee, to be ac- complished as follows: Consultant will list all possible land use types suggested by the General Plan Commit- tee and Town staff. Consultant will list all identified parcels (from Task 1) to have their General Plan designations changed. Consultant will combine all identified parcels into two separate combinations, both combinations totally contained within the General Plan Amendment area. Consultant will then lead the General Plan Committee into analyzing a comparison of the two alternative combinations. The improvements to Redevelopment Area No. 2 will be identified and agreed upon at this meeting. Such improvements may include: . Width and characteristics of Los Gatos Blvd. and Lark Ave. • Public open spaces or parks. • Transportation /circulation improvements including paths, signaK bus stops and pedestrian bridges. • Any other public improvements eligible for redevelopment funding. All redevelopment improvements must be identified at this meeting. Any set -aside hous- ing to be built or improved in Redevelopment Area No. 2 must be identified in terms of number of units and general locatioh: The following criteria will be used to analyze the two alternative combinations: • What will be the ultimate build -out of the property allowed? • How will parking and transportation linkages be handled? How will the land use on each parcel be compatible (or incompatible) with neighbors? What will be the combined trip generation of each alternative on the surrounding transportation system? Based on the answers to these questions, the General Plan Committee will, at this meet- ing, select and agree on a preferred alternative land use plan, which could be any combina- tion of the two sets of land uses analyzed above. All parcels identified to change in the General Plan Amendment in terms of their ul- timate land use designation. Parcel descriptions of each intended change, including type of use, building types and subdivisions (e.g., parcel assembly or lot split). Streets to be improved or changed (e.g., closed, narrowed or made one way). Transportation/circulation improvements including paths, signals, bus stops and pedestrian bridges. Area of Redevelopment Project No. 2. The level of detail for each of the above shall be only to that level of detail appropriate for a General Plan Amendment. No designs or specifications shall be prepared by the consultant under this proposal. Any sizing of a street (e.g., 6 lanes) or a pipe (e.g., 36- inch diameter) shall be based on general traffic data or information supplied by a public agency. The scale of the Redevelopment Area shall be no more detailed or less specific than in the General Plan Amendment. At a minimum the General Plan Amendment would include the following discussion: Existing land use on each parcel identified for intensification. General existing land uses in General Plan Amendment area. • Proposed land use(s) for each parcel identified for intensification. • Measurement for both the existing and proposed land use for each parcel identified for intensification in the following units: Dwelling units. Floor -Area -Ratio (FAR). • Population per acre. • Trip generation (vehicle trip ends). The level of detail for Redevelopment Area No. 2 will be the same as for the General Plan Amendment area, unless greater detail (e.g., pipe size) is provided by a public agency. The General Plan Amendment will be described qualitatively (e.g., "mid -rise" rather than seven stories) in terms of its characteristics (e.g., mixed use, suggested building masses, proposed linkages by mode, etc.). The Environmental Setting chapter of the EIR will be described as identical to that in the Los Gatos General Plan EIR, except where the General Plan Amendment area has changed relative to that description in the Los Gatos General Plan EIR. scer Improvement of Los Gatos Blvd. and Lark Ave., including all impacts to be paid for the Los Gatos Redevelopment Agency. The consultant shall determine the proposed lane widths of Los Gatos Blvd. and Lark Ave. and the Town of Los Gatos shall provide any other standards such as a median, street trees, etc. Use of the 2017,o set -aside housing money, as long as its use is specified for a project within the General Plan Amendment. Such a project, or projects, would be dis- cussed to the same degree of detail as all other land uses within the General Plan Amendment area. Any other specified improvements to be paid for specifically by tax- increment funds generated by Redevelopment Area No. 2 within the area of Redevelopment Area No. 2. The consultant will limit this discussion to the Redevelopment im- provements projects identified in Task 2. Earth The Seismic Safety Element of the Los Gatos General Plan will be referenced. Geology will be discussed in terms of information contained in the Seismic Safety Eie- ment maps. Other Town of Los Gatos EIRs and the General Plan Technical Appen- dix may be referenced, if necessary. Identify how the following policies of the Seismic Safety Element would be carried out in subsequent applications: 10.4.1. Ensure that reliable evaluations are made of the geologic conditions of all sites proposed for development. (This is a significant impact because it has not been done.) 10.4.2. Restrict new development and redevelopment based on the levels of accept- able risk and potential severity of hazard. (This is a significant impact because ac- ceptable risk and severity of hazard are unknown.) 10.43. As part of development review, developer shall fill out a Geologic Hazards Check List (This is a significant impact because the "developer" has not done this.) 10.4.6. Buildings and structures required for emergency services shall have suffi- cient resistance to withstand a major earthquake. (This is a significant impact be- cause buildings are unknown.) No soils reports will be prepared or site specific studies will be carried out as part of this analysis. See Task 5 for a discussion of the type of work to be undertaken and why it is necessary to undertake such work. Impacts will be discussed in general terms on a worst -case basis (e.g., all existing trees will be removed by the General Plan Amendment). See Task 5 for mitigation measures and monitoring procedures for worst -case impacts (e.g., if all trees are in danger of being removed, then the applicant in the next applica- tion would have to determine the number of trees that would be removed as well as identify their species and location). Noise Potential impacts will result both on the identified parcels of the General Plan Amend- ment, as well as neighboring parcels within the General Plan Amendment area, due to increased traffic. A worst -case approach will be used, assuming: All streets shown with build -out noise contours in the Los Gatos General Plan will reach that point (or worse) as a result of the General Plan Amendment. The Los Gatos General Plan noise maps do not need to be changed under this assumption. Meaningful impacts will be based on precise land uses, driveway locations and turn- ing movements, none of which will be known when this document is being prepared. Subsequent applications must perform acoustical analyses, and will be explicitly dis- cussed as mitigation measures and monitoring procedures. The location of potential worst -case impacts will be identified in the General Plan Amendment area along with their respective sources/sensitive receptors, as deter- mined by: Cumulative traffic (with the General Plan Amendment) on adjacent existing land uses. Cumulative traffic (with the General Plan Amendment) on General Plan Amend- ment land uses. • General Plan Amendment land uses on adjacent land toes. • Adjacent land uses on General Plan Amendment land uses. No noise measurements or predictions will be made. Worst -case impacts will be used to identify where acoustical analyses for subsequent applications must be taken. Light and Glare Worst -case impacts will be assumed both from, and on, the General Plan Amendment area. Locations will be identified where: General Plan Amendment land uses impact adjacent land uses. Adjacent land uses impact General Plan Amendment land uses. 0 All Los Gatos General Plan requirements which may impact the General Plan Amend- ment will be identified as mitigation measures or monitoring procedures. (See Task 6.) Any significant impacts from the General Plan Amendment on the General Plan Amendment area will also be identified for purposes of mitigation and monitoring. Risk of Upset/Human Health These subjects were not discussed in the Los Gatos General Plan EIR and only appear in the Los Gatos General Plan in the following implementation sections of the Safety Element: 9.5.1. Fire. 9.5.3. Crime. 9.5.6. Hazardous Materials. 9.5.7. Disaster Preparedness. 9.5.8. Evacuation Routes. The General Plan Amendment will be impacted by these implementation measures, but it will be unknown to what degree until more details are available. No site specific studies, such as soil or groundwater testing, will be done. A worst -case assumption will be made so that mitigation measures can address the types of studies and standards that need to be fu filled in subsequent applications. Population The population in the existing identified parcels will be compared to the population of the identified parcels at build -out of the General Plan Amendment. Employment in- creases generated by the General Plan Amendment area will he estimated in the same way. The degree of impact will be the difference between existing residents and workers and those projected to occupy the identified parcels. Housing The Town of Los Gatos has prepared a Housing Element subsequent to that evaluated in the Los Gatos General Plan EIR. The proposed Housing Element has yet to be adopted, but this proposal will assume that: • The 1990 Housing Element is the official Housing Element of the Los Gatos General Plan. • Existing conditions described in the 1990 Housing Element will be adopted by ref- erence for this General Plan Amendment EIR. 10 Scooe of Ser,ces Parkine, street design and non - motorized improvements will be assumed to be tent with the Los Gatos General Plan in the first iteration. All of these may be al- tered for the second iteration. There will be no third iteration, or changes in the General Plan Amendment, to determine further reductions in passenger vehicle tr.el. No traffic counts or traffic studies are proposed other than the two iterations discussed above. Further traffic analyses will be proposed as mitigation measures and as part of the Monitoring Program Utilities and Public Services The 'Existing Public Services" and 'Public Service Impacts" chapters of the Los Gatos General Plan EIR, which include utilities, will be referenced. Only impacts from the General Plan Amendment that would be greater than those dis- cussed in the Los Gatos General Plan EIR will be identified and updated. The following Implementation Measures of the Safety Element of the Los Gatos General Plan will be referenced: 9.5.1. Fire. 9.5.3. Crime. • 9.5.4. Inadequate Water Supply. These implementation measures may impact the General Plan Amendment and the General Plan Amendment may impact these implementation measures. A worst -case approach will be taken to discuss both potential impacts. Public service and utility agencies representatives whose names and telephone num- bers are provided in Task 3 will be contacted. Energy The Energy Element of the Los Qatos General Plan will be referenced. All implemen- tation measures from the Energy Element may impact the General Plan Amendment and the General Plan Amendment may impact all implementation measures. A worst -case approach will be taken, thereby assuming that significant impacts may be caused by the General Plan Amendment. See Task 6 for a discussion of how mitigation measures and monitoring procedures will be required in subsequent applications. Aesthetics The following design review implementation measures of the Community Design Ele- ment of the Los Gatos General Plan will be referenced: • 13.5.1. Building architecture (in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood). 12 Social impacts (e.g., relocation) and economic impacts (e.g., fiscal) of rede%elopment are specifically excluded for purposes of this EIR. Product: Wor/dng Paper 8: Potential Impacts of the Proposed General Plan . 4mendment. (One camera-ready copy.) Task 6. Prepare Mitigation Measures and Monitoring Program None of the significant impacts found in Task 4 could be fully mitigated at this level of the planning process. For example, aesthetics is totally dependent upon plans yet to be drafted. More importantly, regardless of the General Plan Amendment's design, size or magnitude, it can be assumed that worst -case impacts will result. For example, air quality and noise will be impacted under any circumstances, primarily due to cumulative impacts. The objective in this task is to ensure that the town allows the developers to go no further than the General Plan Amendment until full details on each specific project have been provided. Mitigation measures are defined as those data and further studies needed to proceed fur- ther with the approvals process. (Note that a General Plan Amendment confers no entit- lements but merely states the intentions of the Town of Los Gatos.) For example, soils and geology testing may not be needed until the Tentative Map stage. Mitigation measures may include new policy instruments, such as a Specific Plan, or new implementation devices, such as a special district Mitigation measures often have sig- nificant impacts of their own, such as a special district, and these will be discussed for each mitigation measure. A Monitoring Program is defined as a set of monitoring procedures designed to ensure that the mitigation measures will be implemented (almost always by the project ap- plicant). Monitoring programs often require the establishment of funding mechanisms, such as a development fee program. These will be specified with regard to each mitiga- tion measure requiring a funding mechanism Every significant impact found in Task 5 will have at least one mitigation measure to reduce or eliminate the significant impact Every mitigation measure will have a monitoring procedure. The sum total of all the monitoring procedures will constitute the Monitoring Program.

Prepare a Program EIR that evaluates sig- nificant environmental impacts. identifies mitigation measures and provides a mitigation monitoring program. The EIR must address the impacts associated with the creation of a redevelopment project for the area located east of Highway 17. to. Develop a method of recovering the costs of this study through application fees. 11. Complete all tasks in an expeditious man- ner such that the amendments and the EIR may be considered by the Town Council in the Fall 1992. Proposal 9. This Program EIR will rely on assuming worst - case,, impacts and specifying further work that must be done in subsequent applications as discussed in mitigation measures and a Monitoring Program. Please see the Monitoring Program submitted as an example of our work. A redevelopment project within Redevelopment Area No. 2, as shown in Exhibit 1, will be part of the proposed project to be discussed in the EIR. 10. A cost - recovery system, consistent with AB 1600, would be a mitigation measure for significant impacts. The Monitoring Program would indicate who would fund the mitigation measures and how the system will be established. Designing the system is an optional task. 11. The work proposed would be completed with a Town Council meeting in the first week of October 1992. 18 Payment Schedule A retainer of $7,500.00 (25� -,o shall be paid to the Consultant upon execution of a con- tract. After Consultant has expended that amount, Consultant shall invoice Town in monthly statements for work completed during the previous month. 20 List of Materials to be Provided by the Town The following is a partial list of the materials to be provided by the Town: Los Gatos General Plan (Consultant has marked up copy).

This 48 -acre site was desired for housing by three separate elements of the community: University of California, senior citizens and market rate development. The thrust of the study was to examine the marketability and redevelopment potential of the site, determine land use opportunities and constraints and to recommend to the City of Berkeley a final solution. The site has now been rehabilitated and will be redeveloped for the final mix of housing for all three elements of the community. This effort required an inventory of the 48 -acre site and surrounding area to determine its best reuse. Active citizen participation was given by the State Housing and Community Development Office, U.C. Berkeley and the City of Berkeley. As a result, the site will be reused for members of the community, students of U.C. Berkeley, and housing for both senior citizens and handicapped persons. Master Plan, Filoli Estate The plan covered an area of 670 acres near Woodside, and included the use of open space easements and partial public access to the lands. The project had a high degree of in- formed citizen participation and Ted Kreines led a group of committee members charged with representing the public interest. 34 Environmental Planning RTP & CMP EIR Kreines & Kreines is currently preparing the EIR on the Regional Transportation Plan and the Congestion Management Program for Merced County.

Most recently, Kreines & Kreines, Inc. prepared the S.R. 152 Bypass Specific Plan for the following four agencies: Caltrans, Merced County, the Merced County Association of Governments and the City of Los Banos. Caltrans would not recommend the funding of a $50,000,000 bypass due to the cost of providing urban interchanges and overpass structures. Kreines & Kreines, Inc. came up with the formulation of a special assessment district, four Mello -Roos Community Facilities Districts and a. development fee package which would defray much of the im- provement cost. Local landowners are still questioning their assessments, but the project is proceeding.
