141 Component’s estimated wastewater generation would therefore not exceed the treatment capacity of the SVCW wastewater treatment plant and would not result in a new or more severe wastewater impact. There are existing sanitary sewer facilities in Winklebleck Street, California Street, and James Avenue (Preliminary Engineering Study, p. 3). There is a 6” vitrified clay pipe (VCP) sanitary sewer main in Winklebleck Street, two 12” VCP sanitary sewer mains in California Street (one is marked abandoned), and a 6” VCP sanitary sewer main in James Avenue. Sewer facilities in the Commercial Component vicinity all drain toward California Street and Broadway. The Commercial Component site is currently served by sewer laterals connecting the site to the 6” sanitary sewer main in Winklebleck Street and the 12” sanitary sewer main in California Street. The proposed Commercial component would install a new 12” sewer main in James Avenue and Franklin Street to replace the existing and abandoned 12” sewer mains in California Street (Preliminary Engineering Study, p. 4). The new sewer main would connect with the existing sewer main in James Avenue and drain north through Franklin Street, where it will connect with the existing system at the intersection of Winklebleck and California Street. The Commercial Component would install a new sanitary sewer lateral connecting the proposed building to the proposed 12” main in Franklin Street. All Commercial Component-related wastewater system improvements are subject to City review and approval. As a result of DTPP standards and the City requirements described above, the proposed Commercial Component would not generate new or more severe wastewater impacts beyond those analyzed in the DTPP program EIR and the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. d. The Ox Mountain Landfill serves the City and accepts mixed construction and demolition waste (DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR, p. 10-37). The Ox Mountain Landfill has an estimated 17,240,000 cubic yards of remaining capacity (19,826,000 tons) and an expected closure date of 2034. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR determined project construction is not expected to generate substantial amounts of solid waste during construction relative to the remaining capacity of the Ox Mountain Landfill. Operation of individual projects developed as a result of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would result in an increase in the demand for solid waste services. According to the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR, proposed office uses would generate up to approximately 15.5 tons of waste per day. The Ox Mountain Landfill is permitted to accept 3,598 tons of waste per day and currently (i.e., at the time the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR was certified) averages approximately 1,650 tons of solid waste per day. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR determined the daily solid waste estimates associated with the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would account for less than 0.6 percent of the permitted daily capacity of the Ox Mountain Landfill, and as such the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not generate substantial amounts of solid waste during operation relative to the capacity of local infrastructure and concluded a less than significant solid waste impact (p. 10-38). Therefore, there is sufficient landfill capacity to accommodate the Commercial Component’s solid waste disposal needs (DTPP program EIR p. 8-21; DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR pp. 10-37 and 10-39). The Commercial Component can be expected to contribute less than 0.6 percent of the permitted daily capacity of the Ox Mountain Landfill. While the square footage of the Commercial Component’s proposed office use has increased compared to the prior version of the Commercial Component analyzed in the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR and can therefore be expected to produce more solid waste during project operations in comparison, the difference in the amount of solid waste generated would be negligible and would not cause the Commercial Component’s solid waste output to exceed the permitted daily capacity of the Ox Mountain Landfill. The Commercial Component would accommodate refuse and recycling in one enclosed trash room, which would be located in the northwest portion of the building on the first floor and would be accessible to waste service trucks via the Winklebleck Street frontage (Plan Set, Sheet A6.02, 8/5/2024). 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). Recology of San Mateo County has provided a will-serve letter for the Commercial Component confirming Recology San Mateo County will provide solid waste service to the Commercial Component (Recology of San Mateo County, 2024). Construction of the Commercial Component would comply with all applicable solid waste regulations. As a result of DTPP standards and the City requirements described above, the proposed Commercial Component would not generate new or more severe solid waste impacts beyond those analyzed in the DTPP program EIR and the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR, 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 Services Systems, the following findings can be made: (1) no peculiar impacts to the Commercial 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 EIR/SEIR, (3) no substantial new information ATTY/RESO.0031/CC RESO CEQA GUIDELINES (901 EL CAMINO REAL) REV: 04-22-25 VR Page 141 of 148
