195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 3-5 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

Letter 1: UNITEHERE! Taylor Hudson, Research Analyst

1-1 The comment suggests that the Draft EIR inadequately analyzes and discloses the potential impacts of the project related to greenhouse gases (GHG). The comments points out that the threshold of significance for GHG emissions is 1,100 metric tons of CO2e per year, and that the proposed project narrowly avoid reaching this threshold, at 1,073 metric tons per year. The GHG threshold was identified by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) as a numeric emissions level below which a project’s contribution to global climate change would be less than “cumulatively considerable”.1Consequently, projects that are below that threshold are considered to have a less-than-significant impact on the environment.

1-2 The comment notes that the breakdown of sources of GHG emissions as presented in the Draft EIR Appendix D indicates that the project would meet these levels with mitigation. Specifically, the proposed project would be required to “install high efficiency light” and “install high efficiency appliances,” and that mitigation is not presented in the impact discussion of the Draft EIR itself.

“Mitigated” emissions in the Appendix D report are the result of three considerations. The first element is the implementation of 2013 Title 24 building requirements. The CalEEMod model used to estimate project-related GHG emissions assumes that a project will meet the building code requirements of the 2008 Title 24 building requirements which were in effect at the time of the latest model release. Consequently, a required mitigation element was added to the air quality model to reflect the increased GHG savings associated with the implementation of 2013 Title 24 requirements as estimated by the California Department of Energy. Compliance with the 2013 Building Code (Title 24) will be required of the project by code and does not represent mitigation with respect to CEQA.

The other two mitigation elements of the model run (installation of high efficiency light and installation of high efficiency appliances) are not required of the project to achieve a GHG emission rate below the 1,100 metric ton per year of CO2e threshold. The CalEEMod model was rerun without these measures. Using these new parameters to reflect the current regulatory requirements, project-related GHG emissions increased from 1,073 metric tons per year to 1,079 metric tons per year. Consequently, the proposed project’s GHG emissions would still be less than significant without incorporation of these two originally modeled mitigation elements. A text revision is included herein to identify these updated emissions.

195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 3-6 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

Table 4.B-3 of the Draft EIR is revised as indicated below:

TABLE 4.B-3 INCREMENT OPERATIONAL GHG EMISSIONS

Emission Source

Total Emissions (MT)/Year

CO2 CH4 N2O Total CO2e

Area Sources <1 <0.01 <0.011 <1

Energy Sources 284291 0.01 <0.01 286293

Mobile Sources 745 0.03 <0.01 746

Solid Waste 15.6 0.92 <0.01 34.9

Total 1,049 1,056 0.960.97 <0.01 1,0731,079 Threshold 1,100 Significant? No

Columns may not total precisely due to rounding. Rows do not total because last column (CO2e) accounts for global warming potential ofCH4 and N2O.

The last paragraph of Impact 4.B-1 is revised as indicated below:

As shown in Table 4.B-2, the sum of both direct and indirect GHG emissions resulting from operation of the proposed project would result in an estimated 1,073 1,079 metric tons per year of CO2e.2 This is less than the 1,100 metric ton per year threshold established by the BAAQMD. Operational GHG emissions would therefore be less than significant. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.B-1 would ensure that the applicant employs feasible, effective measures to reduce GHG emissions during project construction.

1-3 The comment notes that the single largest source of the project’s operational GHG emission is mobile sources, or automobile trips. The comment questions the home-work trips for employees of 9.5 miles, and suggests that employees would come from as far away as Tracy, California.

The proposed project would have approximately 15 employees, and the Port of Oakland strongly encourages all businesses in their jurisdiction to employ residents of Oakland. However, as part of the analysis, assumptions had to be made, as the point of origin of potential future employees is indeterminate. Consequently, the CalEEMod model uses a regional commercial worker trip length for Alameda County specified by BAAQMD. The model assumes that 19 percent of project trips are commercial worker trips with an average trip length of 9.5 miles. This represents an average trip length.

Similarly, the model assumes that 62 percent of project trips are commercial customer trips with an average trip length of 7.3 miles. As a practical matter, a large number of

2 CO2e in all calculations of project impact include CO2, CH4 and N2O.

customer trips will be from the adjacent airport rental car facilities less than one mile from the project site. Because a precise accounting of trip lengths associated with a hotel use is not a practical undertaking due to variables associated with myriad destinations of guests and points of origin of workers, the analysis uses the default regional trip lengths vetted by both the BAAQMD and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association. This approach is consistent with the standard and accepted methodology to analysis of GHG emissions, and is therefore appropriate and adequate under CEQA.

1-4 The comment suggests that the apparent parking shortage would increase GHG emissions by increasing vehicles miles travelled (i.e., cars that can’t find a parking space would continue to circulate). As presented in Chapter 4 of this Final EIR, Figure 4-1, the site plan has been revised to address the parking shortfall, and now a total of 151 parking spaces are allocated for the proposed project.

3. Written Comments on the Draft EIR and Responses to Comments

195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 3-17 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

Letter 2: Allen Matkins David H. Blackwell

2-1 The comment referred to, and summarizes, Comments 2-4 through 2-24 in the letter attached to the commenter’s letter. See responses to Comments 2-4 through 2-24, below.

2-2 The comment suggests that GHG emissions which were calculated based on an estimated project-related daily vehicle trip generation rate of 880 vehicles would exceed 1,100 metric tons per year and represent a significant impact if daily vehicle trips were adjusted as reflected within the comment letter.

Neither the comment letter nor the supporting letter from the traffic engineering consultant (Richard Haygood of Boster, Kobayashi & Associates) identify any specific issues or shortcomings with regard to the vehicle trip generation estimates of the Draft EIR. Trip generation was estimated using ITE, Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition, 2012. This is an updated version of the default trip generation source used in the CalEEMod model which has been vetted by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association. Consequently, no changes to the operational GHG estimates of the Draft EIR are warranted.

2-3 The comment states that the Draft EIR only evaluated two project alternatives and questions if a “reasonable range” was considered. Pursuant to CEQA GuidelinesSection 15126.6 the Draft EIR evaluated an alternative that could avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project and feasibly attain most of its basic objectives. As described throughout Chapter 4 of the Draft EIR, there are no significant impacts that could not be mitigated to a less than significant level. As such, Alternative 2, the reduced site plan, was evaluated as it reduced the potential circulation and safety conflict between the proposed hotel and adjacent Harley Davidson building. No other impacts were identified that could be reduced by altering the site plan. Further, as described on page 5-9 of the Draft EIR, the project applicant explored multiple land use alternatives that were rejected because they did not meet project objectives. The project applicant does not own other land in the project vicinity that could accommodate a hotel development.

2-4 The comment describes the commenter’s interpretation of discrepancies among Figures 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4 of the location of the southeasterly property line and the northeasterly wall of the Harley Davidson building, and then claims that those discrepancies (1) make it difficult to determine the width of the access easement driveway, and (2) possibly cause the project’s impact on traffic flow and safety in the shared easement to be underestimated.

Figure 3-2 is presented in the Draft EIR to show the project site in relation to surrounding property, and is not meant to show engineering level detail. Figure 3-3 is revised as part of this Final EIR. As illustrated in the revised figure, the proposed driveway along the Harley Davidson easement at the southwestern corner of the hotel is removed and is

replaced with additional parking. As such, Mitigation Measure 4.C-3 is no longer required to reduce circulation impacts. Further, the site plan now presents the dimensions of the shared driveway easement with Harley Davidson (27 feet by 230 feet).

Figure 3-4 is the landscaping plan, and is not revised as part of this Final EIR.

2-5 The comment describes the commenter’s interpretation of the discrepancy among Figures 3-3, 3-4, and 4.C-4 of the number of parking stalls along the southeasterly side of the project (across from the Harley Davidson building), and then claims that the two-stall discrepancy means that the project parking supply needs to be revised from 141 spaces (stated in the Draft EIR) to 139 spaces.

See revised Figure 3-3. As shown, reconfiguration of the circulation aisles and parking areas would result in a total of 151 parking space, 23 parking spaces along the shared access easement with Harley Davidson. Further, as illustrated in Figure 4-1 of this Final EIR, the proposed project would accommodate 33 of their required parking spaces along the project’s access easement from Pardee Drive. The alleged inconvenience of these spaces is not a CEQA issue: the parking spaces in question are within a reasonable walking distance of the hotel and are adequate to serve the project. Information about these parking spaces will be provided to customers as part of project operations.

2-6 The comment expresses an opinion that traffic analyses in EIRs for commercial development projects typically include level of service analysis of project site access driveway intersections, and that such analyses is necessary and essential for the subject EIR.

While a detailed analysis of site access driveway intersections can be conducted for an EIR analysis, it is not a requirement to provide a thorough analysis of potential project impacts, and in this case, the Port of Oakland (as Lead Agency) and its EIR/traffic consultant deems the level of detail presented in Section 4.C, Transportation and Circulation to be sufficient to identify all potential traffic impacts.

2-7 The comment expresses an opinion that Section 4.C, Transportation and Circulation of the Draft EIR requires more information to be presented about the project site access driveways, such as access restrictions, turning movement volumes, and levels of service.

In response to this comment, the first sentence of the third full paragraph on page 4.C-15 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:

Site access for to the proposed project would be made at from existing driveways on Hegenberger Road (all turning movements except left turns from Hegenberger Road, which are prohibited) and Pardee Drive.

See response to Comment 2-6 regarding the commenter’s request for level of service analysis of project site access driveways.

3. Written Comments on the Draft EIR and Responses to Comments

195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 3-20 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

2-8 The comment requests more information in Section 4.C, Transportation and Circulationof the Draft EIR to substantiate the statement on page 4.C-15 that the available sight distance for drivers exiting onto Hegenberger Road from project’s access driveway is acceptable.

In response to this comment, the second sentence of the third full paragraph on page 4.C-15 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:

Although pillars for the BART Airport Connector have been added in the median of Hegenberger Road, the available sight distance for drivers exiting from the project, field measured for this analysis, remains acceptable (i.e., no less than 315 feet, which is greater than the stopping sight distance standard (250 feet for the 35 miles per hour posted speed limit) set in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (Caltrans, 2014).

2-9 The comment requests more information in Section 4.C, Transportation and Circulationof the Draft EIR about potentially safety issues related to the project’s access driveway on Pardee Drive and the adjacent driveway exit for the Francesco Restaurant parking lot. The comment also requests evaluation of potential safety issues related to delivery trucks using the project’s Pardee Drive driveway.

The project’s access driveway on Pardee Drive would not be a new driveway, and as such interactions between vehicles using this driveway and the adjacent Francesco Restaurant driveway occur now, and it is reasonable to expect that the proposed project’s less-than-substantial trip generation would not cause increased traffic hazards at these driveways. The use of the existing 24-foot-wide driveway by delivery trucks (on average nine feet wide) also would not cause increased traffic hazards because two 12-foot lanes are standard and sufficient for two-way traffic flow.

2-10 The comment expresses an opinion about required analyses related to on-site circulation, with reference to detailed comments presented next in the comment letter.

See responses to Comments 2-11 through 2-16.

2-11 The comment expresses an opinion that traffic conflicts would occur at on-site intersections of circulation aisles and driveway approaches, and requests that those potential conflicts be assessed.

The series of on-site circulation aisles and driveway approaches that project-generated traffic would interact with are all existing circulation features used by traffic generated by the Harley Davidson, Carpenters’ Union, and Comcast buildings. The circulation aisles are wide enough, and sight lines are clear enough, to safely accommodate traffic flow, and the proposed project’s less-than-substantial trip generation would not cause increased traffic hazards.

3. Written Comments on the Draft EIR and Responses to Comments

195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 3-21 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

2-12 The comment refers back to Comment 2-4 (about the access easement shared by the proposed project and Harley Davidson), and questions whether there would be sufficient width to allow vehicles parked in the easement to safely maneuver out of the parking spaces.

See response to Comment 2-4 about revised project site plans, which clear up the seeming discrepancies, stated by the commenter, among the figures in the Draft EIR. As shown revised Figure 3-3, the existing driveway within the access/parking easement is 27 feet wide. That width, not including the added width between the easement and the wall of the Harley Davidson building is clearly enough to accommodate parking maneuvers (usually 26 feet drive aisles for perpendicular parking).

2-13 The comment expresses opinions about the Draft EIR analysis (Impact 4.C-3) of the potential increased hazards related to the project’s proposed circulation between on-site parking areas and the access/parking easement area.

See response to Comment 2-4 regarding revisions to Figure 3-3 in the Draft EIR, and how, as illustrated in the revised figure, the proposed driveway along the Harley Davidson easement at the southwestern corner of the hotel is removed, and circulation impacts are reduced to less than significant. As such, Mitigation Measure 4.C-3 is no longer required to reduce circulation impacts.

2-14 The comment expresses an opinion that project-generated traffic during off-peak hours would be similar to the project’s a.m. and p.m. peak traffic hours, and requests that project impacts to on-site circulation driveways during hours of the day other than the peak hours be assessed.

See responses to Comments 2-9 and 2-11 regarding project effects to on-site circulation driveways, and the proposed project’s less-than-substantial trip generation. Absent site-specific information to the contrary, peak-hour traffic conditions are typically analyzed in traffic studies because that is when a project’s traffic will normally have the greatest effect on the environment, given that the peak hours are when traffic volumes are typically greatest on surrounding streets. No data or other facts or information is provided by the comment that indicates that Project-generated traffic during off-peak hours would be greater than the peak-hour traffic used in the Draft EIR analysis, and no further assessment is warranted.

2-15 The comment states the site plans fail to identify loading zones for delivery vehicles. Like similar hotel developments, the operator only expects delivery trucks such as parcel delivery trucks (i.e., FedEx and UPS) and other comparably sized vehicles once the hotel is operational. There would be no need for large (e.g., semi-trailer) truck deliveries to the hotel. As such, the delivery trucks, whose frequency would not be substantial for hotel operations, are expected to load and unload in the porte-cochere and bring deliveries to the front desk.

2-16 The comment states that Mitigation Measure 4.C-3 would prevent access to the rear of the hotel for delivery vehicles. See response to Comment 2-4.

2-17 The comment expresses an opinion that the Draft EIR analysis of potential impacts for emergency vehicle access is insufficient, given the height of the proposed hotel, the proposed on-site circulation, and project-generated traffic.

There are other buildings in the project area of similar heights (e.g., the six-story Red Lion Hotel and the four-story Holiday Inn), and there is no reason why the fire department’s response to a fire at the proposed hotel would be any different than its response to a fire that those similarly-height buildings. Moreover, the Oakland Fire Department would review the project plans during the plan check process to ensure compliance with Fire Code provisions for access and life safety. See also responses to Comments 2-9 and 2-11 regarding project effects to on-site circulation driveways, and the proposed project’s less-than-substantial trip generation.

2-18 The comment expresses opinions about the Draft EIR analysis (Impact 4.C-1) of the potential impacts associated with project construction.

There is no inconsistency between the two cited statements. As stated on page 4.C-11 of the Draft EIR, no soil would be imported to or exported from the site; all excavated material would be utilized onsite. As also stated on page 4.C-11 of the Draft EIR, there would be delivery of materials, and removal of construction debris (non-soil), throughout the construction period. These truck movements, temporary, intermittent, and spread over the course of those days when those activities occur, are included in the Draft EIR analysis of potential impacts and identification of appropriate mitigation measures.

As stated on page 4.C-11 of the Draft EIR, parking for construction workers would be located onsite or in immediately adjacent parking areas (i.e., in the shared access/parking easements).

To provide clarity for the commenter, the second full paragraph on page 4.C-11 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:

Construction-generated traffic would be temporary, and therefore, would not result in any long-term degradation in operating conditions on any project roadways (including on-site circulation paths/driveways). The impact of construction-related traffic would be a temporary and intermittent lessening of the capacities of project area streets (and on-site circulation paths/driveways) because of the slower movements and larger turning radii of construction trucks compared to passenger vehicles. However, given the location of the project site on a major arterial (Hegenberger Road), and proximity to I-880, construction trucks would have relatively easy and direct routes. Most construction traffic would be dispersed throughout the day. Thus, the temporary increase would not

significantly disrupt traffic flow on any of the study area roadways (and on-site circulation paths/driveways).

2-19 The comment requests that adjacent property owners be included in the development of the project’s construction management plan required as part of Mitigation Measure 4.C-1.

The Port has jurisdiction over project approval, including review and approval of the project’s construction management plan, and may not delegate this authority to others. However, Port staff may consult with other parties as necessary, including nearby property owners and occupants. By virtue of its comments on the Draft EIR, the commenter has made its concerns known to Port staff.

2-20 The comment requests an additional item be part of the project’s construction management plan, as part of Mitigation Measure 4.C-1.

In response to the comment, the following additional bullet is added to the items and requirements list in Mitigation Measure 4.C-1:

Identification of parking areas for construction workers, and staging areas for construction vehicles, equipment and materials;

2-21 The comment requests revision to the last bullet listed for the construction management plan required as part of Mitigation Measure 4.C-1.

In response to the comment, the last bullet of the items and requirements list in Mitigation Measure 4.C-1 is revised as follows:

Provisions for monitoring surface streets, including driveway aprons and on-site circulation driveways, used for haul routes so that any damage and debris attributable to the haul trucks can be identified and corrected by the project applicant.

2-22 The comment expresses an opinion that the proposed supply of parking for the project is insufficient. See response to Comment 2-5 about the revised site plan (Figure 3-3). The revised plan provides sufficient parking for the project per the LUDC parking requirements.

2-23 The comment requests clarification of the “13 reciprocal spaces adjacent to the driveway easement from Hegenberger Road” (as described on page 3-7 of the Draft EIR).

The 13 reciprocal parking spaces in question are not along the western side of the commenter’s building. Rather, these spaces are part of a recorded title report easement with the Harley Davidson property. As shown in Figure 4-1, these spaces are along the north side of the Harley Davidson building, and are accessed from the driveway that is perpendicular to Hegenberger Road. Because the peak parking demand for the hotel is at night, and the peak parking demand for motorcycle sales is during the day, a shared parking configuration is acceptable to the Port and meets the LUDC requirements.

Further, the 13 spaces represent less than 12 percent of the total required spaces, and thus would not be expected to cause secondary impacts if they were unavailable to either party.

2-24 The comment expresses an opinion that the estimated parking demand (page 4.C-20 of the Draft EIR) should be rounded up from the calculated demand regardless of whether the calculated demand (taken out to the tenth place) is less than or greater than 0.5 space. The comment also revisits the issue of the “13 reciprocal spaces” raised in Comment 2-23.

The Port of Oakland, and its EIR/traffic consultant, respectfully disagree that parking demand should be rounded up if the calculated demand (taken to the tenth place) is less than 0.5 space. See response to Comments 2-5 and 2-23 about the revised parking supply and the “13 reciprocal spaces”.

CHAPTER 4

The following revisions are made to the Draft EIR and incorporated as part of the Final EIR. Revised or new language is underlined. Deleted language is indicated by strikethrough text.

The revisions in this chapter do not identify any new significant impacts other than those already identified in the Draft EIR, nor do they reveal any substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact in comparison to the analyses contained in the Draft EIR. The revisions also do not describe any project impact or mitigation measure that is considerably different from those identified in the Draft EIR. Accordingly, the revisions in this chapter do not constitute “significant new information” and it is therefore not necessary for the Lead Agency to recirculate the EIR for public comment prior to certification of the Final EIR (CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5).

Section A, below, identifies staff-initiated changes made to the Draft EIR. Section B identifies changes made to the EIR in response to comments received.

A. Staff-Initiated Changes to the Draft EIR The text changes presented in this section were initiated by Lead Agency staff. None of the revisions results in fundamental alterations of the conclusions of the Draft EIR. The following text changes have been made:

The following text is the second to the last paragraph on page 3-4 of the Draft EIR to reflect changes to the site plan:

The project sponsor proposes to construct a five-story, 140-room hotel on an approximately 1.95 acre (84,953 sq. ft.) parcel at 195 Hegenberger Road. The proposed hotel would be a free-standing 65-foot tall structure and would include parking for 141 151 vehicles (Figure 3-3).

Figure 3-3 on page 3-6 of the Project Description is replaced to address the parking shortfall. Figure 4-1 is included herein to future illustrate changes to the site plan.

4. Revisions to the Draft EIR

195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 4-4 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

The first paragraph on page 3-7 has been edited to reflect changes to the site plan (also see revisions in Figure 4-2):

The ground floor of the hotel would include a public lobby, 16 guest rooms, a 69-seat meeting room (1035 sq. ft.) an 80-seat meeting room (1,938 sq. ft.), a lounge and bar, restaurant and buffet area, exercise room, an outdoor swimming pool, and an outside patio. The building would also provide an employee break room, laundry, food preparation area, offices, miscellaneous work areas, electrical and mechanical rooms, and various storage rooms. Access to the upper stories would be provided by two centrally–located elevators and stairways at the east and south ends of the L–shaped building.

The last paragraph on page 3-7 has been edited to reflect changes to the site plan:

Parking would be located on all four sides of the building. A total of 151 141 off-street parking spaces would be provided, including 97 89 full–size spaces, 36 34 compact spaces, 5 handicap spaces, and 13 reciprocal spaces adjacent to the driveway easement from Hegenberger Road, to be shared with the business located immediately east of the project site. A porte-cochere1 would cover the primary building entrance on the north side of the building. An enclosed trash and recyclables collection area would be located in the southeast corner of the site. Vehicular access to the proposed hotel from Hegenberger Road and Pardee Drive would be via access easements shared between the project site and neighboring parcels.

The following text has been altered starting with the last paragraph on page 4.C-14, and again on page 4.C-15 of the Draft EIR to reflect changes to the site plan:

Onsite circulation in the parking easement between the existing Harley Davidson dealership located at 151 Hegenberger Road and the proposed hotel would be altered with the addition of the proposed project. Under existing conditions the area is used by Harley Davidson for employee parking, delivery truck access and as a practice area for motorcycle customers. The proposed project would alter the parking along the shared easement to accommodate hotel guest parking, introducing additional vehicular and pedestrian traffic to the area. This is a less than significant impact, as only vehicles parked in the parking spaces along the shared easement, would be using the shared easement. The circulation, as shown on the site plan (see Figure 3-3 in Chapter 3, Project Description), would allow vehicles at the rear of the hotel to enter and exit the parking area through the easement area between the two properties, and hotel guest to park along the south side of the hotel, between the hotel itself and the Harley Davidson dealership. This would allow hotel patrons parking at the rear of the hotel (and, potentially, trucks and other vehicles making deliveries and service calls to

the hotel) to exit the site and turn left in to the service area behind (north of) the Harley Davidson building. In addition, hotel guests parked along the south side of the hotel would also travel in this access easement between the two buildings. Because of the potential conflicts that could develop between hotel traffic and Harley Davidson traffic in this relatively confined area, this is considered a significant impact. Mitigation Measure 4.C-3 would reduce the amount of vehicular traffic that would use the shared easement to the parking along the easement on the south side of the hotel. Reducing the potential number of conflicts would reduce the impact to less-than-significant levels. The mitigation measure is illustrated in Figure 4.C-4.

Mitigation Measure 4.C-3: The proposed project site plan will be altered to include removable bollards, a gate, or similar traffic control device for the driveway at the rear of the hotel (southwest corner of the property) which would eliminate hotel traffic exiting or entering hotel parking through the shared Harley Davidson easement. The traffic control device will be designed to maintain emergency access.

If the traffic control device will be removed in the future, the project applicant will submit a technical memorandum prepared by a licensed traffic engineer or certified transportation planner that documents that the circulation impact no longer exists.

Significance after Mitigation: Less than Significant None required.

B. Changes to the Draft EIR in Response to Comments The text changes presented in this section were initiated by comments on the Draft EIR. None of the revisions results in fundamental alterations of the conclusions of the Draft EIR. The following text changes have been made:

The following edits have been made to Table 4.B-3 of the Draft EIR:

4. Revisions to the Draft EIR

195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 4-7 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

The last paragraph of Impact 4.B-1 is revised as indicated below:

As shown in Table 4.B-2, the sum of both direct and indirect GHG emissions resulting from operation of the proposed project would result in an estimated 1,073 1,079 metric tons per year of CO2e.2 This is less than the 1,100 metric ton per year threshold established by the BAAQMD. Operational GHG emissions would therefore be less than significant. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.B-1 would ensure that the applicant employs feasible, effective measures to reduce GHG emissions during project construction.

[Comment 1-2]

The first sentence of the third full paragraph on page 4.C-15 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:

Site access for to the proposed project would be made at from existing driveways on Hegenberger Road (all turning movements except left turns from Hegenberger Road, which are prohibited) and Pardee Drive.

[Comment 2-4]

The second sentence of the third full paragraph on page 4.C-15 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:

Although pillars for the BART Airport Connector have been added in the median of Hegenberger Road, the available sight distance for drivers exiting from the project, field measured for this analysis, remains acceptable (i.e., no less than 315 feet, which is greater than the stopping sight distance standard (250 feet for the 35 miles per hour posted speed limit) set in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (Caltrans, 2014).

[Comment 2-8]

The second full paragraph on page 4.C-11 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:

Construction-generated traffic would be temporary, and therefore, would not result in any long-term degradation in operating conditions on any project roadways (including on-site circulation paths/driveways). The impact of construction-related traffic would be a temporary and intermittent lessening of the capacities of project area streets (and on-site

circulation paths/driveways) because of the slower movements and larger turning radii of construction trucks compared to passenger vehicles. However, given the location of the project site on a major arterial (Hegenberger Road), and proximity to I-880, construction trucks would have relatively easy and direct routes. Most construction traffic would be dispersed throughout the day. Thus, the temporary increase would not significantly disrupt traffic flow on any of the study area roadways (and on-site circulation paths/driveways).

[Comment 2-18]

The last bullet of the items and requirements list in Mitigation Measure 4.C-1 is revised as follows:

Provisions for monitoring surface streets, including driveway aprons and on-site circulation driveways, used for haul routes so that any damage and debris attributable to the haul trucks can be identified and corrected by the project applicant.

CHAPTER 5 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program

A. Introduction When approving projects with Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) that identify significant impacts, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies to adopt monitoring and reporting programs or conditions of project approval to mitigate or avoid the identified significant effects (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6(a)(1)). A public agency is required to ensure that the measures are fully enforceable, through permit conditions, agreements, or other means (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6(b)). The mitigation measures required by a public agency to reduce or avoid significant project impacts not incorporated into the design or program for the project may be made conditions of project approval as set forth in a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The program must be designed to ensure project compliance with mitigation measures during project implementation.

The MMRP includes the mitigation measures identified in the EIR required to address the significant impacts associated with the proposed project. The required mitigation measures are summarized in this program; the full text of the impact analysis and mitigation measures is presented in the Draft EIR in Chapter 2, Summary, except as revised in this Final EIR. No mitigation measures were revised as part of the Final EIR; however, Mitigation Measure 4.C-3, was deleted as it was no longer needed to reduce circulation impacts due to the changes to the site plan (see Figure 3-3, in Chapter 3 of this Final EIR).

B. Format The MMRP is organized in a table format (see Table 5-1), keyed to each significant impact and each EIR mitigation measure. Only mitigation measures adopted to address significant impacts are included in this program. Each mitigation measure is set out in full, followed by a tabular summary of monitoring requirements. The column headings in the tables are defined as follows:

Mitigation Measures: This column presents the mitigation measure identified in the EIR.

Implementation Responsibility: This column identifies the person/group responsible for implementation of the migration measure.

Monitoring Responsibility: This column contains an assignment of responsibility for the monitoring and reporting tasks.

Page 48: 195 Hegenberger FEIR - Port of Oakland...Final 195 HEGENBERGER ROAD HOTEL Focused Environmental Impact Report Prepared for September 2014 Port of Oakland 350 Frank Ogawa Plaza Suite

5. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program

195 Hegenberger Road Hotel 5-2 ESA / 130713 Final Environmental Impact Report September 2014

Monitoring and Reporting Action: This column refers the outcome from implementing the mitigation measure.

Mitigation Schedule: The general schedule for conducting each mitigation task, identifying where appropriate both the timing and the frequency of the action.

Verification of Compliance: This column may be used by the lead agency to document the person who verified the implementation of the mitigation measure and the date on which this verification occurred.

C. Enforcement If the proposed project is approved, the MMRP would be incorporated as a condition of such approval. Therefore, all mitigation measures for significant impacts must be carried out in order to fulfill the requirements of approval. A number of the mitigation measures would be implemented during the course of the development review process. These measures would be checked on plans, in reports, and in the field prior to construction. Most of the remaining mitigation measures would be implemented during the construction or project implementation phase and verified within a quarterly monitoring report.
