127 The City Recycled Water Ordinance (Chapter 38, Article VIII of the Municipal Code) requires the use of recycled water, where available, for landscape irrigation and appropriate building plumbing (e.g., water closets, urinals). At this time, the project component site is not located in the Recycled Water Service Area. The project component has not been designed to use recycled water. Landscape irrigation would conform to all City regulations and the California Water-Efficient Landscape Ordinance, which means in part that all plantings would be irrigated with a drip or other point-source irrigation system and a bubbler irrigation system would be used for trees. All project component utility calculations and designs are subject to review and approval by the City. The Focused GPU EIR (p. 4.9-28) concluded that impacts resulting from Focused GPU EIR development on water supplies would be less than significant. As a result of the City requirements described above, the proposed project component would not generate new or more severe water supply impacts beyond those analyzed in the Focused GPU EIR, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. c. The Focused GPU EIR (p. 4.19-29) concluded that the Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) would not be significantly impacted by development allowed under the Focused GPU EIR. Based on City engineering factors used to calculate projected wastewater generation (95 percent of water demand – see [b] above, and Attachment L in the Preliminary Utility Report, August 22, 2023), the net wastewater generation for the 847 Woodside Road project component is forecast at 13,899 gpd. The project component site is currently served by an 8” sanitary sewer main and three existing sanitary sewer laterals along the Woodside Road frontage (Preliminary Utility Report, p. 1). The Preliminary Utility Report determined that the project component’s potential peak wet weather flow (PWWF) wastewater generation in addition to existing PWWF wastewater generation would not exceed the max capacity of the sanitary sewer main in Woodside Road (pp 1-2). In order to mitigate the increase in sewer generation associated with the project component, per standard City practice, the City would require the project component to pay a sewer system capital facilities fee and a wastewater treatment capacity fee to fund necessary sewer system infrastructure improvements (Focused GPU EIR, p. 4.19-24). All project component-related wastewater system improvements are subject to City review and approval. As a result of the City requirements described above, the proposed project component would not generate new or more severe wastewater impacts beyond those analyzed in the Focused GPU EIR, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. d. Project component construction would comply with all applicable solid waste regulations. Furthermore, there is sufficient landfill capacity to accommodate the project component’s solid waste disposal needs (Focused GPU EIR, p. 4.19-30). The project component would accommodate refuse and recycling in an enclosed trash room within the building’s parking garage in the southeastern corner of the building. The trash room would be accessible to waste service trucks at street level via a trash staging area on Woodside Road (Plan Set, Sheet PA2.1, 5/31/2023). Weekly pick-up of garbage, compost, and recycling would be provided by the City’s selected local waste service provider (Recology of San Mateo County). As a result of the City’s Municipal Code requirements and General Plan policies and implementation programs pertaining to solid waste, the proposed project component would not generate new or more severe solid waste impacts beyond those analyzed in the Focused GPU EIR and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. e. See item (d) above. CONCLUSION: With regards to the issue area of Utilities and Infrastructure, the following findings can be made: (1) no peculiar impacts to the 847 Woodside project component or its site have been identified, (2) there are no potentially significant effects or off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the Focused GPU EIR, (3) no substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the Focused GPU EIR, and (4) the Focused GPU EIR concluded a less-than-significant impact. Therefore, component-specific impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. For these reasons, the utilities and infrastructure impacts of the proposed project component would be consistent with the impacts identified in the Focused GPU EIR and this project component does not require additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15183.
