P24-0596, 0 Vineyard Avenue Zoning Administrator 14 of 14 a Construction Vibration Reduction Plan for submittal to the City’s Director of Community Development for review and approval that identifies specific techniques, such as the depth and location of temporary trenching, that would reduce potential vibration impacts to less than significant for any impacted structures. Upon approval by the City, the construction vibration reduction measures shall be incorporated into the construction documents. A note shall be provided on grading and building plans indicating that, during grading and construction, the property owner/developer shall be responsible for requiring contractors, to be monitored via on-site inspection by the Community Development Department, to implement these measures to limit construction-related vibration impacts. This evaluation concludes the proposed project qualifies for an exemption from additional environmental review under Section 15183 because it is consistent with the development density and land use characteristics established by the City, as analyzed by the Housing Element Update FEIR. Further, the Housing Element Update FEIR adequately anticipated and described the impacts of the proposed project, identified applicable mitigation measures necessary to reduce project-specific impacts, and the proposed project would implement these mitigation measures. PUBLIC NOTICE / PUBLIC COMMENT Notice of the application was sent to the surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. The applicant also posted an on-site project notification sign pursuant to the on-site project notification policy. Staff has received a number of comments during the planning phase of the project related to concerns with traffic along Vineyard Avenue and public safety concerns related to the loop road at the rear of the site (see Exhibit D). CONCLUSION Staff finds that the proposed site plan, design, architecture and positioning of the buildings are compliant with the Objective Design Standards. The project also would provide 27 housing units, plus ADUs, which assists the City in meeting its housing goals.
