A-3 Open Space. The previously reviewed 847 Woodside Road project submitted a density bonus request to the City for a waiver of the minimum open space standard as the open space was located in a required setback and could not be counted towards open space requirements. The revised project now meets the minimum open space standard and the revised project would not require a waiver for the minimum open space standard. Stormwater Runoff and Retention. The previously reviewed 847 Woodside Road project submitted a density bonus request to the City for a waiver from the minimum 20% pervious area requirements. While the revised project is still requesting this waiver, the revised project would decrease the amount of impervious area compared to the previously reviewed project. Parking. The previously reviewed 847 Woodside Road project submitted a density bonus request to the City for a parking ratio concession/incentive to allow the project component to provide fewer parking spaces than required, providing 50 spaces for 86 residential units. The revised project provides 57 parking spaces for 75 residential units. While the revised project is still requesting a parking ratio concession/incentive, the ratio of spaces per unit for the revised project is closer to that required by the zoning code. Compared to the CEQA Consistency Checklist evaluation of the previously reviewed 847 Woodside Road project component:  The revised project component would be required to comply with all the same Focused GPU EIR mitigation measures, as applicable, and local, regional, state, and federal codes and regulations identified in the Consistency Checklist.  Identified quantitative environmental impacts, such as air pollution emissions and utility demand, are expected to be reduced because the project component would have fewer residential units and fewer residents.  Identified environmental impacts related to building massing, such as shadows, are expected to be reduced because the proposed building has been reduced in size. As discussed in the CEQA Consistency Checklist, there are large redwood trees currently on the site that vary in height adjacent to the residential uses to the east. These trees will continue to be preserved with the revised project and exceed the height of the revised project. This coupled with the more limited intrusion into the daylight plane, greater rear setback, and more design variation along the facade would result in a less impactful project compared to the previously reviewed project.  Any cumulative environmental effects identified in the Consistency Checklist, such as in combination with the proposed 1900 Broadway component, are expected to be reduced because the 847 Woodside Road project component has been reduced. 5.0 Conclusion The City’s CEQA Consistency Checklist evaluation for the previously reviewed 847 Woodside Road project component determined that there are no peculiar impacts related to the project component or its site have been identified. The effects of the revised 847 Woodside Road project component would be similar or reduced compared to the previously reviewed project component, and the revised project component would not require additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning). The impact conclusions and mitigation needs identified in the CEQA Consistency Checklist remain the same. Accordingly, the environmental impacts of the revised 847 Woodside Road project component are within the scope of the City’s CEQA Consistency Checklist evaluation for the previously ATTY/RESO.0074/CC RESO 847 WOODSIDE (CEQA) - EXHIBIT 1 - CEQA CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST REV: 10-23-24 VR Page 134 of 135
