13 SEIR. The DTPP SEIR also assumed that up to 30 percent (up to 350,100 square feet) of the office cap may be devoted to Research and Development Laboratory use. As one of the original six proposed Gatekeeper projects, the 901 El Camino Real project was included in the SEIR’s programmatic level evaluation with the understanding that project-specific entitlements would be considered by the City when an individual project was brought forward for action regarding project entitlement(s), and project-level CEQA review would be necessary to determine whether the environmental effects of a future development proposal is within the scope of the SEIR or if further review would be required. The current 901 El Camino Real project being evaluated in this analysis differs from the original concept analyzed in the SEIR as follows:  The 901 El Camino Real project would remain a six-story building.  The office space is now approximately 305,225 square feet rather than the SEIR 259,000.  The office space may be occupied for R&D use. The DTPP SEIR assumed up to 350,100 square feet of R&D use in the DTPP, which is 30 percent of the office cap.  The total teen center/multi-purpose space square footage proposed is approximately 6,450 rather than the SEIR teen center space of 8,000.  The 901 El Camino Real project does not include retail square footage compared to the SEIR which assumed 3,000 square feet of retail.  The square footage for the open space is approximately 14,091, which includes the 3,934 square-foot Chrysanthemum Plaza and the 10,151 square feet of creek open space, rather than the 23,200 square feet of open space identified in the SEIR.  Onsite parking for the current 901 El Camino Real Commercial Component would total approximately 513 vehicle parking spaces (309 self-parking spaces and 204 spaces for valet assisted parking) rather than the SEIR 340 below-grade motor vehicle parking spaces (up to 590 spaces with valet operations).  Bicycle parking in the current project would total approximately 164 bicycle spaces rather than the original 68 bicycle spaces.  The Commercial component would still include the land exchange as described above in Section 8. Description of Project.  The Commercial component would still include realignment of the street grid by extending Franklin Street north from James Avenue to the intersection of Winklebleck and California Streets, closing California Street west of Winklebleck Street, and closing Winklebleck Street south of California Street.  The Commercial Component would still include the removal of existing Little River Park. This Consistency Checklist is to determine whether further environmental review beyond that which was provided by the DTPP EIR and SEIR (from here on, collectively referred to as the “EIR/SEIR”) is necessary for the currently proposed Commercial Component. As noted above, California Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 provide a statutory exemption from additional environmental review for projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. This streamlines environmental review not because a project does not have any potential environmental effects, but because the project’s effects have already been sufficiently accounted for and addressed in a previously certified EIR/SEIR.
