(CBG, pp. 4-5) See more detail below in item X, Hydrology and Water Quality. The project would be served by existing City water mains within Woodside Road. (CBG, pp. 2-3) The project proposes to install one new fire hydrant near the northern part of the site along Woodside Road, which, in addition to the existing fire hydrant along Woodside Road on the south side of the proposed garage entry, would provide a total of two fire hydrants (Plan Sheet C.5, 10/30/23). The project would be 100 percent electric. (Plan Sheet PA0.1, 10/27/23) The project would include a variety of energy-efficient features, including: solar panels on the roof; naturally ventilated garage area rather than mechanical ventilation; use of high-efficiency, insulated, low-e (“low emissivity”) exterior glazing to reduce mechanical cooling loads; building massing oriented to take advantage of solar access while prioritizing unit shading, increasing resident comfort, and decreasing reliance on cooling systems; energy efficient building envelope and wall and roof assemblies; heat recovery ventilator (HRV) for the community room HVAC system to reduce heating/cooling energy usage; occupancy sensors in high-occupancy rooms to reduce ventilation air during unoccupied periods; landscaping designed to be drought-tolerant and watered using a high-efficiency irrigation system with remotely monitored weather-based controllers; exterior (outdoor) unit entry walkways, thereby reducing the need for interior ventilation systems or air conditioning; Energy Star appliances; operable windows in units for natural ventilation and light; and LED lighting. (FORA Architects, “Energy Efficiency Measures Memo, 847 Woodside Road,” undated) The project anticipates a construction period of approximately 26 months. Impacts related to construction are discussed in relevant sections of this document. Resident access would be provided primarily through the main entry doors to the lobby on Woodside Road, with gated entry to the courtyard at the end of a short corridor adjacent to the lobby. (C.3 10/30/23; PA3.1 10/27/23). Refuse and recycling would be in an enclosed trash room within the building off the building driveway on Woodside Road near the southern end of the building; property management staff would wheel the bins for pick-up by waste service trucks at the main entrance loading zone on Woodside Road (Plan Sheet PA5.6, 10/27/23). Electrical, generator, plumbing, fire pump, and maintenance rooms would be accessible at street level (Plan Sheets PA3.1 and PA3.2, 10/27/23; Plan Sheet C.3, 10/30/23). There are 14 existing redwood trees on the property. Three of the trees would be impacted by the proposed building and need to be removed, and the remaining 11 trees would be retained by the project. (Plan Sheets PL2.0, PL2.1, and PL2.2) Trees currently on the site vary in height between approximately 30 and 75 feet tall. The project would plant 1 new Yoshino Japanese Cedar and 3 new Osakazuki Japanese Maples trees on the ground floor courtyard. It would plant 9 Osakazuki Japanese maples and 4 Japanese Stewartia trees on the 2nd floor podium level. The project would plant 7 new Rocky Mountain Maple trees would be added at grade level as street trees (Plan Sheets PL3.0, 3.1, and 3.3, 2/2/24).
