ISSUE: A Resolution of Application is required to request the Contra Costa Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to initiate boundary reorganization
proceedings.
BACKGROUND: On February 19, 2009, LAFCO approved the Faria Preserve
Reorganization, which annexed 289± acres to the City of San Ramon, 276± acres to the
District and 255± acres to East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). At that time, a
9.7 acre parcel along the western border of the Faria Preserve Community residential
development project area was not included in the annexation to the District and EBMUD
because no development was proposed on the parcel. Recent project design revisions
have resulted in the need to relocate approximately 17 townhouse units to the 9.7 acre
parcel.
To remedy this project's need for a nominal annexation adjustment, the applicant (Faria
Preserve, LLC) has petitioned the District to process this proposed boundary
reorganization to annex the 9.7 acre parcel to both the District and EBMUD so that
these residential units may receive sanitary sewer service and potable water service.
The residential units were part of the original total approved by the City of San Ramon,
for which service by the District and EBMUD was already considered. Furthermore, in
its 2009 reorganization, LAFCO approved District and EBMUD service to these units in
their original location. The parcel proposed for annexation is within the District's and
EBMUD's Spheres of Influence. Attachment 1 shows the project area and the parcel
proposed for annexation.
Staff has drafted a Resolution of Application requesting that LAFCO initiate boundary
reorganization proceedings for the one annexation area. This area is described below:

PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX ONE ANNEXATION AREA IN SAN RAMON
TO THE DISTRICT AND EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT
(DISTRICT ANNEXATION 191-FARIA PRESERVE WEST-SAN RAMON)
• Annexation Area 191-1 is comprised of one parcel along the western side of the
Faria Preserve Community development area. A portion of the parcel has been
approved for development by the City of San Ramon as part of the Faria
Preserve Community residential subdivision project.
Project History
2006: San Ramon City Council certified the Northwest Specific Plan 1 Faria Preserve
Community Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for 786 homes (single- and multi-
family) in four neighborhoods, community facilities and open space, and associated
grading and infrastructure improvements on an approximately 290-acre site located
adjacent to City Limits, within the City's Urban Growth Boundary.
2007: The East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) and the Sierra Club filed suits
challenging certain approvals required for development of the Faria Preserve
Community.
2008: The Faria Preserve proponents, EBRPD, Sierra Club, the City of San Ramon,
and the landowners and applicants for the Faria Preserve Community entered into two
settlement agreements requiring minor modifications to the Faria Preserve project.
The City of San Ramon approved an Addendum to the EIR
2009: Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved the Faria
Preserve Reorganization, annexing the Faria Preserve Project Area to the City of San
Ramon, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and the East Bay Municipal Utility
District.
2012-14: Following a change in ownership and several community workshops and
City commission meetings, more project changes were made, including reducing the
size to 740 residential units and relocating the project entryway. The City adopted a
Mitigated Negative Declaration to address these changes, which included redesigning
the project such that approximately 17 townhouse units were placed on a parcel which
had not been annexed to the District and EBMUD as part of the 2009 LAFCO action.
CEQA: District staff has concluded that the environmental impacts of annexing the
properties in Annexation Area 191-1 to the District and EBMUD are adequately
addressed in the project's environmental documents authored by the City of San
Ramon (as Lead Agency). A copy of each document is available at its accompanying
link shown in Attachment 2.

Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION REQUESTING THAT
CONTRA COSTA LAFCO INITIATE BOUNDARY REORGANIZATION
PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX ONE ANNEXATION AREA IN SAN RAMON
TO THE DISTRICT AND EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT
(DISTRICT ANNEXATION 191-FARIA PRESERVE WEST-SAN RAMON)
Prior to approving the project and subsequent changes, the City of San Ramon certified
or approved each document and approved what it considered to be appropriate
Findings of Fact, mitigation measures and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Programs. These determinations are summarized in Attachment 2 as well.
As a Responsible Agency, the District Board will need to make comparable
determinations in order to approve the proposed annexation. Adoption of the
recommended resolution will establish the Board of Directors' independent findings that
the Board has reviewed and considered the above-named environmental documents
and agrees with findings of the Lead Agency pertaining to Findings of Fact, adoption of
mitigation measures, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to initiate boundary
reorganization for these areas, which would require that the property owners apply
directly to LAFCO for annexation to the District and EBMUD.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District incurs costs to prepare annexation applications
and pays fees to LAFCO, the County Surveyor, the County Clerk, and the State Board
of Equalization for annexation processing. All annexation costs are tracked and
recovered as "annexation charges". For large annexations (10 or more subdivision lots)
and reorganizations, the property owner provides a deposit and is charged an
annexation charge equal to the District's actual administrative and related costs to
process the annexation.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This matter was not reviewed by a Board
Committee.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a Resolution of Application (Attachment 3)
to initiate LAFCO boundary reorganization proceedings for District Annexation 191,
including the finding that the Board has reviewed and considered the various CEQA
documents for the Faria Preserve Community project and agrees with findings of the
City of San Ramon (the Lead Agency) pertaining to Findings of Fact, adoption of
mitigation measures, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs

The 2006 City Of San Ramon's determinations for these documents certified the
draft and final environmental impact report for the proposed Northwest Specific Plan
and Faria Preserve Project, and adopting CEQA findings, a Statement of Overriding
Considerations and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting. The City found that the
only significant impacts remaining after Project mitigation was inconsistency with
2005 Ozone Strategy (Impact AQ-2) and increased emissions of criteria air
pollutants (Impact AQ-3). The City found that the signfiicant, adverse impacts of the
project were acceptable in light of the project's econimic, legal, social, technological,
environmental and other consideration and are an overriding consideration
independently warranting approval, including the provision of open space, a range of
residential land uses, affordable housing, and road and utility improvements.

The 2008 City Of San Ramon's determinations for this document approved an
Addendum to the Northwest Specific Plan/Faria Preserve Community EIR and
project changes, in accordance with a legal settlement with East Bay Regional Parks
District and the Sierra Club. The changes reduced the amount of developed area
and increased open space and park access. No revisions to the conclusions of the
2006 EIR impact analysis were found to be necessary as a result of thse changes..

Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and approved several changes to the Faria
Preserve Development. These changes included a reduction in the number of
housing units and a relocation of the project's entryway from Deerwood Road to
Purdue Roads. The City found that the changes, as mitigated, would not result in
any signficant environemntal impacts.

RESOLUTION NO. 2016-03?
A RESOLUTION OF CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
REQUESTING THAT THE CONTRA COSTA LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION
COMMISSION INITIATE PROCEEDINGS FOR A CHANGE OF ORGANIZATION
(DISTRICT ANNEXATION NO. 191-FARIA PRESERVE WEST-SAN RAMON)
WHEREAS, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) proposes to initiate
proceedings pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization
Act of 2000 for a change of organization; and
WHEREAS, the annexation proposal consists of annexing of one "single area," as
defined by the State Board of Equalization, generally adjacent to the existing CCCSD
and East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) boundary, as shown on Exhibit 3-1 as
proposed Annexation Area 191-1 and by this reference incorporated herein, comprising
a total of 9.7 acres, more or less to CCCSD and EBMUD; and
WHEREAS, the change of organization is proposed for the following reasons:
1 . One parcel, containing approximately 17 approved residential units, has
been organized into one "annexation area" to allow potable water and
sanitary sewer service to an approved, but unconstructed, residential
subdivision (Faria Preserve Community Project);
2. The property is within CCCSD's Sphere of Influence for sewer service and
EBMUD's Sphere of Influence for water;
3. The property is within the City of San Ramon's Urban Growth Boundary,
although outside Contra Costa County's Urban Limit Line;
4. Upon annexation, CCCSD and EBMUD will assume responsibility for
maintenance and operation of public facilities required to provide service to
the area proposed to be annexed;
5. CCCSD and EBMUD require that properties be annexed to receive utility
service; and
6. No other sewer or water agency can reasonably serve this area.
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County is the only affected county (the area proposed for
annexation to CCCSD and EBMUD is in the City of San Ramon) and no other sewering
or water agencies are involved; and
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Resolution No. 2016-03 8
Page 2 of 3
WHEREAS, the area proposed for annexation to CCCSD and EBMUD has fewer than
12 registered voters residing therein and, therefore, is "not inhabited" under LAFCO's
criterion; and
WHEREAS, if the annexation is approved, all of the provisions of the CCCSD Code and
EBMUD Regulations Governing Water Service to Customers will become applicable to
the properties annexed; and
WHEREAS, no water service can be provided to the Areas to be annexed to EBMUD
without the prior approval of the United States Bureau of Reclamation; and
WHEREAS, staff has concluded that the environmental impacts of annexing the
properties in Annexation Area 191-1 to CCCSD and EBMUD have been adequately
addressed in the several environmental documents listed in Exhibit 3-2 and certified and
approved by the City of San Ramon between 2006 and 2014.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the CCCSD as
follows:
THAT CCCSD staff is directed to submit this Resolution of Application requesting that
the Contra Costa County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) initiate
boundary reorganization proceedings for the one area shown on Exhibit 3-1 as
proposed Annexation Area 191-1 hereof, as authorized and in the manner required
under the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Reorganization Act of 2000, together with a complete
application package including all other required information, geographical descriptions,
maps, forms, questionnaires, indemnification agreement, fees, and a mailing list of
affected property owners, and of all other property owners and registered voters who
reside within 300 feet of the proposed annexation area; and
THAT it is not the current practice of CCCSD or EBMUD to compel property owners to
connect their properties to the public sewer or water system involuntarily; and
THAT adoption of this resolution will establish the CCCSD Board of Directors'
independent findings that the Board has reviewed and considered the environmental
documents for the Faria Preserve Community Project and agrees with findings of the
City of San Ramon (the Lead Agency) pertaining to Findings of Fact, adoption of
mitigation measures, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs (see Exhibit
3-3); and
THAT CCCSD staff is directed to file any necessary CEQA documents with Contra
Costa County.

City in Contria Costa County,just west of Highway 680 and north of Criow Canyon Road wilhin
the 644-acirei Bolliingeir Canyon Subareia. The NW SR inalludeis 1he 290-acre Fa6a Rrieisenivei Rriojeal,
localed east of Bollinger Canyon Road, and the 63.5-acmei Western Phan Area, which inaludes thea
Chang and Ranetla priopertieis, loaated west of Bollinger Canyon Rlaad. Thei NW 9R sets forth a
development program that will sa nia as a sat of zoning reigullations in order i to prionide specific
direcil ion as to the type and intensity of uses peirrnitteid in the Priojeal Areia as well as development
criteria. Thei EM eivaluateid the polentiad iimpacts from implarrentatian of the NWSPI at a

neighborhaods. The Fariia Rreseinia Community, which would aonsisl of Naighborhoods A, E, C
and DI, would incilude a total of '186 unils, , while the neighboring Western Rlan Aiea, which
includeis Nevi ghborhocid E and the Planetl a Property, may consist of up to 44 reisi deal ia]I lots. Tha
NWSR would also priovide severiall publics and ciammunity serving faciffilies inclluding a ciommunity

that it has tevieawed and consideaed 1hei iinformalion in the EIRI prion to appraving the Prpjeacit.
Siimilarly, 1hei Cii}I finds that it has rev:ieawed the racoad and the EIRI prican to approving 1hei Ekojeal.
By these findings, thea City confirms, rialifies and adopts the findings and conclusions of thea EM, as

`III. FINDINGS REE ARDI NG IMIIAC IIS
19. In aceardance with Public Rescaumeas Coda sectian 21081 and CEQA Guideainas
sectiians 15091 and 1.092, the Ciily adopts 1ha findings and conclusions ra8airdind impacats and
Pagel 4 of 15
mitigation meaasureas that are seat forth in the EIRI, and suimmariaead in Exhibit 2. Theses findings do
nal repeal thea full discussions of enviironmeinlal impaals contaiineid in 1he EIRI. The City raatifilas,
adopts ano ineorporiales the analysis, explanatiicn, fin&ngs, riesponses to eomrrenls and
conclusions of the EIRI. The City adapts the reiason:ing cif the EIRI, cif staff iieports, and of sl all and
the preasentalions piiovided by the Ptojecal Spansori.
20. Thea City has,by its rievil aw cif the evidences and analysis prosentud in the EIRI and iin
the recon , acquired a belleri understand-'ng cif the full scope of the envitonruiantaa issues priesenteid
by thea Priojeacat. In turn, this undeiislanding has enabled 11a City to make fully informed, 1horaughlly
consideried decaisiians on these important issues. These findings ane based on as full appriaisa:l of thea
EIRI and the reaaotd, as well as otheri relevant information in tt ea riecaord of proca®edings for the
Project.
21. Under Publia Resourieeas Clode seactiion 21(81(a;(2) and CEQA G uiidelines section
115091(a;(2) and 15092(tl)(2)(A), thea City recognizes That some miligat:ion meaasureas reaquiira action
by, or coopeiiatiion from, other ageanciies. Simillanly, mitigation measures requiring the Projeact
Sponsor to cicanlribute towards imptoNaments plannad by othcar ageneiieas w:illl requ:irie the relevant
agcnciies to rciceiivea thea funds and spend them apptapriiately. The City also reacognizes thal some
ciumullative impaals will be feasibly mitigated when calheri a€anaies build the realevant
i1ruprovemeanls, which also requites aation by these othear agencies. Fori eaach mitigatican measurie
That reaqu:ireas 1he ecopearation ori actiian of anothear agency, thea City finds That adoption and/or
i1ruplementalion of eacah of those mitigalion meaasuries its wilhin thea riesponsibiliily and jurisdiiat:ion of
aanolheir public agency, and That the measuireas aan and should be adoptead and/wi:impllementead by
1 haat of hear agency.
22. The Pro jecit i s consii stcnl with 1 he G enerial F tan EM, and 1 he riegi onal and araeawide
cumulative impacits of the Froject have already been adeiquatelly addressed in the certiified General
Plan EIRI, caons:istenl with CEQA Guildelines Section 1512I((d). The General Plan EIM also
sufficiienlly analyzed a ranges of rieasonablea a:llemativeas to urea Generial Plan, and ala rieleavanl

secretions 1`091(a)(�-I), 150512(b)(2)(IB; and 15093, 1he City delermines thal the remainiing significarit
effects on lha eanviironmenl, as reflected in the EIRI and in Exhibit 2, are unavoidable and area
aceciplable dues to the ovearriidin€I considcatatiions descriibead beaow.

allminated from further ciarisideralion, both during thea scioping piiociess and in reasponsea to
comments.
26. The EIRI avaluated a reaasonat Ila range of alllerniatiivas to the original project that wa,,
da.ciribad:in the DEIRI. Thase allc niativeis include ill) a No Praject/No Development A Iternalive;
113; a Rciduc cid Davedopment FootprJril with Lum'leid Pill of Ripar.'ian Corridor to Accommodalei

Planning Commissiion and City Council, a siixlh alllerniatiiva, Me Relaciatoid Neighborbload D
AIIlerniatiiva, was inciludad and analyaeid in tole FBIM.
27. Thea City cer ifies thal i1 has iindopendanlly reviiemad and considered lhei information
on allterniaUvas provided in lha E1RI and sins thle racmd. Thle ElM refloicits the City's independent
,judgment as to altoirnalives. The City finds lblat thle Hrojecl, whlichl as approvad relocates the senioii
apartmiants of Naighlbort ood D la a parl ion of 1 t u hlou,a of worship s:i 1 a, making thea blouse of

ana]Nzed sin thle EIR. AII1 thea remaining alternialives are riejecited as infeasible, for thea reasons slated
in thle BRI and f or 1 t a f oll owing rua.ons.
28. Tha City also bases its detoirminations riegard'ng alternatives on Hublic RasourKieas
Code secilion 211`51.2( and CEQA Guiidal:ines secilion 1509:1(ca;. Thlese secilions preclude a publics
agoiriciN from reducing thle proposeid number of hausing unils as a mit:igalion mciaasure or piojecil

is analheai feasibllci spacif:ici m'ligation measure or project allarniat:ivoi that would provide a
comparable leivel of mitigation.
29. '➢ha City notes thal lhei only s:ignafiicant impacils reimain:ing after mitigalion of lhle
Praject are inconsiistencaN withl Zhu 2005 Czone Strateigy(Impact A Q-2, and inmeasad emissions of

thal would attain mast of the prajecil objecitives while avoiding or substantially Ilassening any of thoi
significaanl effeals of thle piiajecil. No such alleniat:ivois would avoid the reima:ining sign fiicant
:impacts.
30. Thei Hriojecl would be inconsistenl with lhei 2005 Coona Stratogy priaparied by the
Bay Area Aiir Quality Management District ("HAAQNM"). The 2005 Ozone Strategy was
adopted by the BAA QNM on Jlanuary 4, 3006 and superseded lbla 2000 Clean A bi Plan. Hovwevar,

caritericn used to dolermine consistency of a specific plan with the 200` C aanci Slrateagy as
reicommended by thle BAAQMD CEQA Guideilines. Thea Hrojact would also increase long-.1erm

Mousing units lhlat would be deve:lopead undear thea Arcaject. The project could not be foasibly
implemonled without an incaruasei in air emissions,pauhicularlly fiomi mobiles scaurcias. Any
alturnalive thlat ach:ieaveas most of tho Aroject objecalives would result in thlese significiant impacils,
and tHerea is thus no foasible alternative availlable that would reiducae or avcaid these impacals. Thle
City addressees pardaulau alternatives below.
31. Under Alterniativei 1, the Project would nal be developed. Whillei this altearr.iative blas
feiwor environmental effecils, JI does not fulfil] thea poli aies :in thle Generall Alan and fails 10 address
basica Aroject objecalives. Alternative 1 cannot prcavdea any of thle major publics facilitles called for
in thea Geaneir al Plan, incaluding thea community park, educational use, Housea of worship and public
traill system. The No Rojecal Alternative results in lble caorrpletea elimination of kley publica facaihilies
ident:ifiied:in the City's General plan. Ongoing implemeanlaton oaf thle General Alan over thle past
sevoral ycians has rel:iead upcan fulure deauedopment of thea Aroject to provide critically needed plublic
park, trail, education and relaled faciililies in order tca support both cunient and future reasdcanls of
thle City. Failure to provide lhlesci facaibilies would advurselly affect thle quality and adequaciN of
services to ]ocall residents, based on defined threshald standards contaiinead in lhei Generall Alan and
Genciraal plan EIM. AlthlougM Allerriatiuea 1 avoids direcal grad'ng irrpaacts withlin lble westerly swalea
area north of tf a required east-west collector streaet, it fails to miiligatu underlying landsaidei
activity,resulting in continued Gaff-setling of the drainage swale, significant erosion of dsplacaed
soils, degradalion of water quiaality and wetland/riparian hlab:ilats, and polent:ial resulting risks to
proposed and exisling downstrieama improvements. A lternativei 1 leaves thea weisterly drainage
swale in an unimpraoved caondition, whlerieby existing active landslides will continue to ciausea
S gnificant erosican and potentially calaslroplhic impacts on downstneaam fauililies through)
mudElows,car othler slope failures. Existing landsl dens extend along bcalhl the east and weasl slopeis
of thle interion valley containing thle drainage swa]a. The geoteahmicaal analysis of this areia
indicates thlat the visible surface landslides ane underllaiin by deaeiperi, mores extensive landslides
which extend from the edgei of the adjoining riidgolines to below thle drainage swale. Avoidanciei of

Alturnative 3 would nol permit a ba:lancaed griading plan, and would raeasult in an eslimaled

This translates:into a period of approximately 1f months of un:irntamrptad wark days, during which
local and riegional streets would be subjacited to 960 average daily truak trips. The off hauling of

meat lhei stated Brojact purpose. Alternative 3 fails to provide the marlkt date and affordable
housiing resources cirit:icially needed in the commumily and called for Jin the Housin€ Element.
Altemalive 3 would neiducia by 242 the number of total housing units within the NWSP, and reiduce
by 86 the number of affordable units. No feasible opportunity exiists within the context of building
heiighl limitations arid site constraints to further increase the density of the Faria BllesarNa Rojeol in
order to recioveri the un:ils al:imiinated by the conidenseid footprint of Alternative 3. These planneid
housing resaurcieis have been identified by the California Daparlment of Housing and Community
Development as cirilical ciomponents of the Housin€ Element, which ara neocissary iin ordar to meel
the City's regiionall faiir share of housing neeids ovar the next severial years. Alternative 3 cannot
provide anal of the major public fatalities called for in the Ganeral Plan and iidantif:ieid ini lha
NWISB, including lha ciomrr.unity park, educational use, housei of worship grid public traill sNstam.
Tha condensad developmarnl footprint results:in al:im ination of Bey publics favi ilies:identified in the
C:iIN's General Bl an. Cngoiing implamental ion of lha Generial Blanc over the past several yeiars has
relied upon fluture development of tha NWISB, and specifically] the Faria Bresar-ve Brojeol, to
provide criticiaaly needed public park, trail, edumition and ie:lated faciihilies in ordari to support both
aurreiril and fulura residerits of lha C:ily. Failure to provide these faciihilies would adversely affect
lhei quality and adequacy of services to local residents,based on defincid threshold standards
cionlainied in the General Blan and General Blani EER. Alteimative 3 avoids direcit gria&ng impacts
within the westerly swala area north of the peideslrian footbridge crossing, but fails to mitigate
underlying landslide activiily, reisullling in continueid off-selting of the drainage swale, significaml
atos:ion of displaced soils, degradation of watcw qualilN and wedanid/riparian habitats, and potential
reisulting riisks to ex:istirng dawnslreiam impriovememis. Allamative 3 aeiaves the wasteudy drainagei
swale in an unimpraved condition, whereby axisting alive landslides will continue to aausa
sigmificiant erosions and palentially ciatastroph:ici :impacits on downstreami faciihilies through
miudf7laws, or alhar slopei failures. Existing landslides axland along bolh the east and wast slopes
of the interi or v alley cion]aining the drainage swale. The gaotechnicial analysi s of thii s areia
indicalas that the viisibIla surface landslides ara underlaiir.i by deeper, miaria exturis:ive landslides
which extend from the eidge of tha adjaining ridgelines to below the drainage swale. Avoidanoci of
development willhin this areia, as contamplatad in Allernativa 3, would fares€a riepaim of these
landslides. The axisting detemliori basin localed al the lowari and of this valley could therefore be
sub�jacit la damage or deslncition in thea eveml of a majar landslide, as could tha utility]lines carried
avoir the swale on the peidaslriani bridge. A voiidancie of development within lhei areia above the
westerly swale, as cialkid for:in A.Ilernativa 3, adversely adfects lha viability of water delivery for
fire-flow, by separatin€ riemaiining developmiant areas from the designated water iiaservoiin site.
The water delivery system whicih is riequilrieid to meet both domestics and fire f71aw rieiquiirements for
any develcipmeml of the Faria Bresene Priojecit ciansists of one or more pumip slat:ions cionneciting to

contemplated in Alternatives 3, requires )haat a new roadway bei conslrucaled eaithen north from

Avoidancea of thea east-wesl thriough stm al inlarniallly within 1ha Flarha Pnesenve Riojecil eliminates

In onden to priouide secondary aciciess and utility connections, a loapead internal acacess road would
be caonstructeid along the rAgellines thal would conned thea eastorn and weistearn portions of thea sitci.
Under this alllerniatiuei, Neighbonccaod A would bei incareiasad fhiom 200 la 390 units, Neiiphbonhood

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission in the exercise of
its independent judgment, and based upon all the evidence in the record (including but not limited to all
application materials, the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed Project, the
written and oral staff reports, and oral and written comments received by the City) does hereby make the
following findings:
1. Regarding the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
After the certification of the Northwest Specific Plan/Faria Preserve Community
Environmental Impact Report ("NWSP EIR"), the proposed Revised Faria Preserve Project
made the following changes reflecting minor changes to the project analyzed in the NWSP
EIR and further reducing some environmental impacts evaluated in the NWSP EIR:
• Reduced the proposed number of residential units from 786 to 740
• Reduced the proposed on-site grading footprint by 33 acres, resulting in an increase
in natural, preserved open space
• Reduced the on-site development footprint by 18 acres, resulting in an increase of
preserved open space
• Preserving over 80% of the Faria Preserve Project for permanent open space and
non-residential development which includes the dedication of 144-acres contiguous
to the Project Site as permanent open space
• Moved Faria Preserve Parkway where it connects to Purdue Road further south in
order to reduce grading and associated drainage channel impacts
• Reduced cut-and-fill grading quantities by over 1,000,000 cubic yards
• Eliminated fill of the central drainage headwaters
Page 4 of 11
• Reduced fill of channels and wetlands of the lower eastern drainage
• Eliminated the complete fill of the eastern drainage
• Reduced the total linear feet of creek disturbance from 4,853 to 2,120
• Reduced wetland fill from 0.94 to 0.81 acres
Based on the substantial evidence in the record, the City finds and declares:
a. The recitals above are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference; and
b. The custodian of the documents described above constituting the record is the Planning
Services Division. The documents are located at the offices of the City of San Ramon,
2401 Crow Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA 94583; and
c. In accordance with Public Resources Code section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines
sections 15091 and 15092, the City adopts the findings and conclusions regarding
impacts and mitigation measures that are set forth in the IS/MND. The City ratifies,
adopts and incorporates the analysis, explanation, findings, responses to comments and
conclusions of the IS/MND. The City adopts the reasoning of the IS/MND, of staff
reports, and of staff and the presentations provided by the Project Applicant; and
d. The City has, by its review of the evidence and analysis presented in the IS/MND and
in the record, acquired a better understanding of the full scope of the environmental
issues presented by the Project. In turn, this understanding has enabled the City to
make fully informed, thoroughly considered decisions on these important issues. These
findings are based on a full appraisal of the IS/MND and the record, as well as other
relevant information in the record of proceedings for the Project; and
e. Under Public Resources Code section 21081(a)(2) and CEQA Guidelines section
15091(a)(2) and 15092(b)(2)(A), the City recognizes that some mitigation measures
require action by, or cooperation from, other agencies. Similarly, mitigation measures
requiring the Project Applicant to contribute towards improvements planned by other
agencies will require the relevant agencies to receive the funds and spend them
appropriately. The City also recognizes that some cumulative impacts will be feasibly
mitigated when other agencies build the relevant improvements, which also requires
action by these other agencies. For each mitigation measure that requires the
cooperation or action of another agency, the City finds that adoption and/or

General Site Plan, Architecture and Landscaping
1. Evaluate wind exposure when siting homes, especially in the western Project Area
where the multi family parcels are located.
2. Incorporate maximum energy efficiency opportunities throughout the Project.
3. Evaluate opportunities to enhance the open space areas through landscaping to
soften the slopes, especially to the north of Neighborhood IV and on both the
north and south sides of Neighborhood III.
4. Use LED technology where possible.
S. The Board supported a 3-wire and metal post fence design that would be used
around the mitigation areas. The Board suggested the post be cor-ten or black
color.
6. It was recommended that stone faced pilasters be used at fence-type transitions in
locations that can be seen by the public.
7. Evaluate opportunities to add or extend the low stone wall feature on other
portions of Faria Preserve Parkway such as within the neighborhood entryways
adjacent to the round-a-bouts.
8. The Board recommended that the 6 foot high partial view fence be replaced with
either a 6 foot high wire mesh view fence or by replacing the glass portion
depicted on the partial view fence with wire mesh.
9. Use 6 x 6 posts and add a trim cap on the good neighbor fencing, making sure
that there is consistent color between the posts and boards and that fence is
lapped or louvered.
10. Use non-galvanized street light poles painted green or black as deened
acceptable to City staff.
11. Detail on the plans the lighting at the community pool parking lot and the use of
bollard lighting on the HOA-maintained pathways that will connect the
neighborhood to the public streets.
12. An O & M manual shall be given to homeowners for street tree and front yard
tree care and maintenance. When planting trees also take into consideration
Page 32 of 44
wind factors and location of utility meters; however, in general the Board
supported the street tree palette and the variations.
13. Look at opportunities to install a wood rail fence in the landscape area adjacent
to Faria Preserve Parkway to create a transition between the plantings within the
right of way to the open space beyond.
14. The Board recommended the removal of all interim irrigation systems.
15. On sheet L-38 showing the typical open space at windows and the plantings
behind the sidewalks, it was recommended to use natural grasses to transition
into the open spaces areas and looking for opportunities to replicate this at other
typical open space window areas.
16. On street sections B and F, the Board recommended a higher retaining wall
height to reduce the overall number of walls that would be needed. Instead of
using a block CMU wall, use a faux rock material to create the appearance of a
real rock wall.
17. The Board suggested adding top soil to all cut slopes to promote a
"landscapeable" area to promote vegetation growth otherwise it will invite
erosion. This is to be included on all cut slopes throughout the Faria Preserve
development.
18. Include as a homebuyer option, some type of solar integration opportunities.
19. Provide enhanced elevations on exposed or corner lots including roof vents,
siding material,pot shelves, or possible pop-outs along these enhanced elevations
to provide articulation on these elevations; show control joints on the stucco to
break up the two-story elevations; wrap siding and stone finishes on side
elevations to where the side fence begins; and from a 360 degree point of view,
integrate light fixtures to fit the architectural theme of each elevation.
20. On the enhanced corner side elevations, look at opportunities to add functional
pop-outs on the second story of homes such as enhancements like bay windows,
window seats, etc.
21. On the preliminary landscape plan, include fencing plan for neighborhoods to
show how the fences relate to the slopes and between the public and private
areas.
22. The Board requested the Applicant prepare a master landscape plant palette.
23. The Board recommended cheek walls to be installed at stairways throughout the
Project.

3.3-1a Implement BAAQMD Basic and Additional Construction Control Measures.
BAAQMD recommends that all projects, regardless of significance, implement the
Basic Construction Control Measures during construction. Because the proposed
project would also exceed the threshold of significance for NOX additional
measures are recommended to reduce NOX emissions. The Applicant and its
construction contractor shall implement the following Basic Construction Control
Measures during all construction activities:
• All exposed surfaces (e.g.,parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded
areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
• All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall
be covered.
• All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be
removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day.
The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
• All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 miles per hour.
• Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not
in use or by reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by
the California airborne toxics control measure, Title 13, Section 2485 of
the California Code of Regulations). Clear signage shall be provided for
construction workers at all access points.
• All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in
accordance with manufacturer's specifications.All equipment shall be
checked by a certified visible emissions evaluator.
• A publicly visible sign shall be posted at the soil transfer site within the

visible, to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
Because the proposed project would exceed the NOX threshold of significance,
would include a substantial amount of cutffill operations, and would be located
approximately 0.5 mile from the nearest sensitive receptor, additional mitigation
measures are prescribed to reduce emissions and avoid exposing nearby receptors
to substantial construction emissions. BAAQMD has developed Additional
Construction Mitigation Measures for those projects that either will include
extensive earth-moving activities or will be located near sensitive receptors. The
following measures from BAAQMD's Additional Construction Measures also shall
be implemented during construction:
• All exposed surfaces shall be watered at a frequency adequate to maintain
minimum soil moisture of 12%.Moisture content can be verified by lab
samples or moisture probe.
• All excavation, grading, and/or demolition activities shall be suspended
when average wind speeds exceed 20 miles per hour.
• Wind breaks (e.g., trees,fences)shall be installed on the windward sides)
of actively disturbed areas of construction. Wind breaks shall have at
maximum 50%air porosity.
• Vegetative ground cover (e.g.,fast-germinating native grass seed) shall be
planted in disturbed areas as soon as possible and shall be watered
appropriately until vegetation is established.
• The simultaneous occurrence of excavation, grading, and ground-
disturbing construction activities on the same area at any one time shall be
limited. Activities shall be phased to reduce the amount of disturbed

3.3-1b Use BAAQMD CMP or Another Verifiable Offset Program to Offset Regional
Off-Site Emissions.
The Applicant shall use BAAQMD's CMP or another verifiable program to offset
the proposed project's NOX emissions that exceed the BAAQMD 2010 threshold
after implementation ofMitigation Measure 3.3-1a, above. The Applicant may
achieve the required offset through payment to BAAQMD on a per ton ofNOX
amount(i.e., dollars per ton ofNOX to offset)for emission reduction projects that
will be funded by BAAQMD. The price of NOX emission offsets shall be determined
by BAAQMD on an annual basis and shall be paid prior to construction grading

procedure during construction of the proposed project in order to avoid adverse
effects on potentially significant archaeological resources. Specific steps in the
procedure are as follows:
• Prior to construction, the construction contractor and subcontractors
shall be informed of the legal and regulatory consequences of
knowingly destroying cultural resources or removing artifacts, human
remains, bottles, and other significant cultural materials from the site.
Significant cultural materials include but are not limited to aboriginal
human remains; chipped stone; groundstone; shell and bone artifacts
(both human and animal); concentrations of fire-cracked rock; bottle
glass; ceramics; ash and charcoal; and historic features such as
privies or building foundations/remains.

• If an inadvertent discovery of cultural materials is made during
construction activities, ground disturbances in the area of the find
shall be halted and a qualified professional archaeologist shall be
notified regarding the discovery. The archaeologist shall determine
whether the resource is potentially significant as per the California
Register of Historical Resources and develop appropriate mitigation.
The Applicant shall comply with the mitigation requirements identified
by the archaeologist and approved by the City.
• All artifacts or samples collected as part of the initial discovery,
monitoring, or mitigation shall be properly preserved, catalogued,
analyzed, evaluated, and curated along with the associated
documentation in a professional manner consistent with current
archaeological standards.
• If human remains are uncovered during construction, the
construction contractors shall stop potentially damaging work, assess
the significance of the find, and pursue appropriate management.
California law recognizes the need to protect interred human remains,
particularly Native American burials and associated items of
patrimony,from vandalism and inadvertent destruction. The
procedures for the treatment of discovered human remains are
contained in California Health and Safety Code Sections 7050.5 and
7052 and California Public Resources Code Section 5097.

remains are uncovered during ground-disturbing activities, all such
activities in the vicinity of the find shall be halted immediately and the
City's designated representative shall be notified. The City shall
Table 1
o Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan for the San Ramon Faria Preserve Community
Verification
ZI Mit. No. Mitigation Measure Timing/ ImplementationSchedule Responsibility Action Date

immediately notify the Contra Costa County coroner and a qualified
professional archaeologist. The coroner is required to examine all
discoveries of human remains within 48 hours of receiving notice of a
discovery on private or state lands (Health and Safety Code, Section
7050.5W). If the coroner determines that the remains are those of a
Native American, he or she must contact the Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC) by phone within 24 hours of making that
determination (Health and Safety Code, Section 7050[c]). The
responsibilities of the City for acting upon notification of a discovery
ofNative American human remains are identified in detail in
California Public Resources Code Section 5097.9. The City or its
appointed representative and the professional archaeologist shall
consult with a Most Likely Descendent(MLD) determined by the
NAHC regarding the removal or preservation and avoidance of the
remains and determine if additional burials could be present in the
vicinity.
Assuming an agreement can be reached between the MLD and the City or their
representative with the assistance of the archaeologist, these steps would result in
minimising or eliminating adverse impacts on the uncovered human remains.

3.6-11 Mitigation Measure 3.6-11: Implement Grading and Erosion Control Plan.
Before grading permits are issued, the Applicant shall retain a California
Registered Civil Engineer to prepare a grading and erosion control plan. The
grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted to the City of San Ramon for
review and approval before issuance ofgrading permits for all new development.
The plan shall be consistent with the City's Grading Ordinance and the state's
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit and shall include the
site-specific grading associated with development for all project phases.
The plans referenced above shall identify the location, implementation schedule,
and maintenance schedule of all erosion and sediment control measures; describe
measures designed to control dust and stabilLe the construction-site road and
entrance; and identify the location and methods of storage and disposal of
construction materials. Erosion and sediment control measures could include the
use of detention basins, berms, swales, wattles, and silt fencing, and the covering
or watering of stockpiled soils to reduce wind erosion. Stabilisation measures on
steep slopes could include construction of retaining walls. Stabilisation of
construction entrances to minimise track-out(control dust) is commonly achieved
by installing filter fabric and crushed rock to a depth of approximately I foot. The
Applicant shall ensure that the construction contractor is responsible for securing
a source of transportation and deposition of excavated materials.

with vegetation and/or planted with shrubs and trees. Because the existing bedrock
is relatively nutrient poor it may be difficult for vegetation to become properly
established, resulting in a potential for slope erosion. Revegetation ofgraded
slopes can be aided by retaining the topsoil and spreading these materials in a
thin layer(approximately 6 inches thick) on the graded slopes before the winter
rains and following rough grading. When this method is used, hydroseeding can
sometimes be avoided. All landscaped slopes shall be maintained in a vegetated
state after project completion. The use of drought-tolerant vegetation requiring
infrequent drip irrigation during summer is recommended. No pressurized
irrigation lines shall be placed on or near the tops of graded slopes.
