Meeting Date: January 21, 2014
Meet Agenda
I
SUBJECT: Resolutions authorizing the City Manager to execute two separate Professional Services
Agreements (PSA) for a potential development project at the San Rafael Corporate Center:
1) PSA with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for environmental review services and
preparation of an Initial Study consistent with the CEQA Guidelines; and
2) PSA with LAK Associates, LLC. for contract planning services to serve as project planner.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolutions.
BACKGROUND: In 1998 the City of San Rafael approved PD (Planned Development) District zoning, an
Environmental and Design Review Permit, a Conditional Use Permit and a Development Agreement for
the San Rafael Corporate Center Project (formerly Fair, Isaac). These approvals were subject to
environmental review, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). With the assistance
of RBF Consulting, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the project, and was certified
by the City Council in January 1998.
Since the approval of the center in 1998, the center has developed in accordance with the approved
Master Plan. To date, four of the five approved buildings have been built and are nearly all occupied. One
of the two approved parking structures has been built (at corner of 2nd St/ Lindaro Ave). Based on the
original approval for this site, there are two structures that remain entitled, but yet unbuilt: a four-story
office building (at the corner of 2nd St/Lincoln Ave); and a multi -story parking structure on the east side of
Lincoln Ave, across from the center.
In recent months, the property owner (Seagate Properties) of the center along with one of the major
tenants within the center, BioMarin Pharmaceutical,(BioMarin), have been exploring potential
changes to the center to add addonal research and development space for BioMarin. BioMarin is
considering the filing of an application to amend the PD District, along with associated planning
entitlements. The project will require the preparation of an Initial Study and may result in the preparation
of a subsequent EIR, a supplement to the previously certified EIR or a Mitigated Negative Declaration,
based on the potential impacts and findings of the Initial Study.
Given the environmental complexities of the site, the City will need an environmental planning firm, t#
provide the guidance to the City on the CEQA process and provide CEQA analysis through the
preparation of an Initial Study. To that end, the principal environmental planner who worked on the
#riginal EIR for RBF Consulting has submitted a proposal for CEQA services on behalf of her new firm.,

Kimley-Horn. The proposal for services would provide CEQA guidance to the City, during the Pre
Application phases and prepare an Initial Study for the project to determine the level of environmental
review that would be required for this project. The proposal for services includes a not -to -exceed budget
of $90,000, which includes a budget of $75,350 for preparation of an Initial Study of all necessary tasks
through preparation of an Initial Study, $8,000 for an optional task of a parking study, and $6,650 as an
estimate for direct reimbursable costs. If the Initial Study results in a determination that a Negative
Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate level of CEQA review, then, those
documents are covered by this contract. However, if the Initial Study results in the determination that an
EIR is required, the contract scope will have to be amended to address the preparation of an EIR.
In addition, the applicants have expressed their desire for an extremely focused and timely review
process. Given the limited staffing in the current planning division along with the various other
developmentproposals that are currently in the development review pipeline, city staff is unable to
exclusively focus its complete attention on this project without detriment to other projects that are under
review. Therefore, the applicant has requested that the City hire a contract planner to serve as project
planner. LAK Associates, Inc, a local planning services firm, has submitted a proposal for services to
serve as project planner on this project and process the applications in accordance with the City's
procedures. The proposal for services includes an hourly rate of $132/hour, which is the same hourly
billing rate as our Associate Planner staff position. Based on our understanding of the project at this time,
we have estimated that a project of this complexity could take up to 300 hours. Therefore, the not to
exceed budget established with this contract is set at $40,000.
ANALYSIS: Pursuant to the CEQA, the City of San Rafael will act as lead agency for environmental
review of the proposed project. Given the proposed revisions to the original project and the length of time
since the preparation of the original EIR, the original EIR is not adequate in and of itself to satisfy the
required environmental review for the revised project. For this reason, the services of Kimley-Horn were
solicited to complete additional environmental analyses required for the revised project. As the principal
in this firm was the preparer of the original environmental document for the San Rafael Corporate Center
project, Kimley-Horn has the familiarity with the site and prior EIR that would not exist with another EIR
consultant.
In terms of LAK Associates serving as project planner, this firm has worked for many jurisdictions in Marin
County, and even serves as contract staff for another jurisdiction in Marin County. Therefore, they have
f
familiarity with the planning process in Marin. The project planner will serve under the direction of the
Planning Manager, as do all staff planners.
FISCAL IMPACT: The not -to -exceed budget for Kimley-Horn for CEQA services is $90,000. This
amount will be paid entirely by the applicants. In addition, the applicants will pay a 25% EIR
administration fee to the City to cover staff time associated with administering the contract and managing
the project.
The not -to -exceed budget for LAK Associates for project planner services is $40,000. This amount will be
paid entirely by the applicant. In addition, the applicant will be required to submit the standard City
application fees for any application type required for their project. The application fees will cover staff time
associated with inter -departmental review, contract management and oversight, and hard costs incurred
by the city, ie. copying, noticing, mailing, etc.
The City's adopted fee schedule and a condition of application for any planning entitlements, specify that
an applicant/property owner is ultimately responsible for all city costs associated with processing a
development application. To this end, a Reimbursement Agreement has been prepared to specify and
memorialize these terms and has been signed by the property owner/applicant

RE: Scope of Work to Provide CEQA Guidance and an Initial Study for the
Proposed New Research and Development Facility at the San Rafael
Corporate Center.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. ("Kimley-Horn" or "the Consultant") is pleased
to submit this letter agreement (the "Agreement") to the City of San Rafael
("Client") to provide City Staff with the necessary strategic support and guidance
in development of a CEQA strategy and "roadmap" for the proposed expansion
of the San Rafael Corporate Center (SRCQ. This first phase of assistance will
result in preparation of an Initial Study and supporting technical an-alyses.
Project Understanding
The SRCC campus is bounded by Anderson Drive on the south, 2 nd Street and the
San Rafael to the north and Lincoln Avenue to the east. Located on the southern
ee of Downtown San Rafael, the site is nearly built out. The site ee
undrw
dgnt
extensive environmental review and corresponding CEQA entitlement for
development of a 406,000 square foot office campus for Fair Isaac in late 1997.
Since that time, four of the five proposed buildings and one 3 -story parking
garage •have been constructed on the approximate 15 -acre site. Supplemental
environmental documents have been prepared over the years to allow for
limited medical office use of the site. To maintain traffic levels of service,
medical office space has been restricted to 68,000 square feet of the 406,000
square feet of development approved onsite.
Approximately two years ago, Seagate Property purchased the site. In
collaboration with their existing tenant, BioMarin, Seagate Property is proposing
the addition of 85,000 square feet of research and development space (inclusive
of related office and support space) in a new building on the western surface
parking lot of the SRCC, Campus. It is anticipated that the lab building would have

an architectural vernacular and design features similar to those of the existing
onsite buildings. It is anticipated that the project application will both include
and address a high level of sustainable design features and would be designed to
I I I I
minimize impacts to the site and surrounding downtown area. As part of the
overall campus development, it is anticipated that additional structured parking
would be provided to meet the appropriate parking supply required by the City.
The purpose of this scope of work is to define certain tasks requested by the
Client necessary to meet CE QA compliance requirements for preparation of an
Initial Study.
Anticipated entitlement actions include the following:
Amendment to the PD Zoning and Master Use Permit
Design Review Permit
One (or more) Map Amendments
Environmental Clearance (MND or EIR)
Scope of Services I
The scope of services is provided as follow]
Task IJ —Prepare Initial Study
Kimley-Horn will complete the Initial Study in accordance with CEQA Guidelines
Section 15063 and Initial Study Checklist (Appendix G) in the CEQA Guidelines
and in accordance with City of San Rafael format/procedural requirements.
Based on our prior experience working with City Staff, we fully anticipated that
the Scope of the Initial Study will be thoroughly reviewed by and with City Staff
to ensure concurrence on approach, completeness, and to verify/validate
current Initial Study format anclprocedures.
The Initial Study will form the basis for the Environmental Analysis discussion in
what is anticipated to be subsequent preparation of either a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (IVIND) or Environmental Impact Report (EIR). It will provide the
necessary background for determining the potential fo r significant
environmental effects associated with the proposed Project.
To achieve the objective of defensible impact determinations and to meet City
requirements, the Initial Study must be thorough. Each of the topics identified
on the environmental assessment form contained in the State CEQA Guidelines
will be evaluated to document the nature and extent of any potential
environmental consequences and the need for mitigation. Many of the issue
areas addressed in the Initial Study will not have the potential for significant
effects (ie., "No Impactor Less than Significant Impact") due to the nature of
the proposed Project and extent of previous environmental
analysis/documentation that has been prepared for the site. However, the

document will address any potential impacts under all environmental issues. The
specific purpose of the analysis in the Initial Study will be to identify all
potentially significant adverse environmental impacts and incorporate mitigation
measures to reduce or eliminate any adverse consequence I s.
l(imley-Horn- will prepare a draft Initial Study document to include the following
sections:
4* Introduction. This section will introduce the Initial Study, describe the
purpose of the Initial Study and determination for the preparation of
subsequent environmental documentation (MND or EIR) and will provide a
brief summary of the findings of the Initial Study.
I% Environmental Setting. The environmental setting will describe existing
physical setting and characteristics of the project site, as well as the setting
and character of adjacent land uses and the surrounding area.
Project Des ' tion. The project description will provide a detailed, yet
crip
concise, description of the proposed Project. The purpose and need for the
project will be clearly stated, along with the anticipated (community)
benefits of the proposed Project. Any discretionary actions needed to
implement the project will be identified.
4e Environ mental Analysis. This section will provide an expanded discussion of
the environmental issues as presented in the Environmental Initial Study
checklist. Each checklist question will be presented along with a response,
A statement will be provided to clearly support the checklist response to
each question. References used as the basis for the analysis will also be
listed after each response. As noted below, several technical studies to
support the Initial Study will be prepared. These are limited to: Air Quality,
Noise, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Visual Simulations. All other topical
areas of the Initial Study will be thoroughly addressed.
Mandatory Findings of Significance. This section of the document will
provide a discussion of the projects impacts, as they relate to the
mandatory findings of significance under CEQA. Similar to the discussion in
the Environmental Analysis section, a response will be presented for each of
the Mandatory Findings of Significance questions, as found in the Initial
Study Checklist. Any gation measures developed to reduce adverse
impacts will also be identified, to support the determination of a Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
Appendix. The Environmental Initial Study checklist will be included as
an appendix to the document,, along with any developer -provided
Technical Studies. At this time, it is anticipated that all supporting
technical studies will be provided by the Project Applicant and that no
Kimley-Horn Mr. Paul Jensen, December 11, 2013, Page 4
and Associates, Inc.
4"new" technical studies, not otherwise contemplated by the Applicant
will be required to support preparation of an IVIND.
Given the scope and location of the expansion Project, we are appropriately
assuming site development activities would occur within a fully-
developed/urbanized area of the City. Thus, the technical studies will be limited
to the topical areas noted below (including Air QualitGreenhouse Gas
Emissions, and Noise). Other topical areas will be addressed as discussed below
(including Aesthetics, Public Services, Utes, Traff ic, Hazardous
Materials/Hazards, Hydrology/Water Quality, Geology and Soils). Topics not
specifically mentioned below (e.g. Agriculture/Forestry, Biological Resources,
Cultural Resources, Mineral Resources, Population and Housing and Recreation)
will be addressed in the Initial Study, but based on the previously certified 1997
EIR are anticipated to result in no new impacts as a result of the Proposed
Project.
Aesthetics. The visual and aesthetic impacts of the proposed project wil
be analyzed in this section of the Initial Study. KHA will describe thl
existing visual conditions of the site, including a discussion of view,
within the project site and views from surrounding areas to the site an(
the expected changes that would result from development of thi
proposed project. KHA will provide up to 6 computer/photogra phi,
graphic simulations utilizing existing architectural and site as -buil
information provided by the Client. Images will show the propose4
building and site construction from a variety of views and site context,
All views will be approved by the Client prior to graphic production. KH�
w ill provide one (1) round of revisions based upon Client comments.
I
KHA will also address potentially significant impacts generated by the
introduction of light and glare associated with the development of the
proposed project. This analysis will include a discussion of light and glare
impacts on neighboring sensitive uses from streetlights, vehicle
headlights, building lights, nighttime building illumination and security
lighting, and other relevant sources. KHA will review and incorporate
existing City policies and guidelines regarding light and glare in the Initial
Study. The Initial Study will Identify the potential visual impacts and
recommend mitigation measures to reduce impacts.
Public Services. Impacts to police and fire protection, schools and other
public facilities as a result of expansion of -the Corporate Campus will be
analyzed in this section of the Inal Study. KHA will describe the existing
public services, including fire and police stations that serve the site, and
the ability to meet or maintain target ernergency response times. KHA
will review and incorporate existing City policies and guidelines
regarding public services in the Initial Study. The Initial Study will
Kim -Horn Mr. Paul JCDsen, December 11, 2013, Page 5
.t... and Associates, Inc.
identify the potential impacts to public services and recommend
mitigation measures to reduce impacts.
I
Utilities. Public utilities I including water resources, wastewater, storm
drainage, and solid waste impacts as a result of the proposed project
will be analyzed in this section of the Initial Study. KHA will describe the
existing public utilities, including wastewater collection capacity and
treatment, storm drainage system, water supply, and solid waste
management and the impacts that would result from implementation of
the project. KHA will review and incorporate existing City policies and
guidelines regarding public utilities in the Initial Study. The Initial Study
will identify the potential impacts to public utilities and recommend
mitigation measures to reduce impacts.
Traffic. The traffic impacts of the proposed project will be analyzed in
this section of the Initial Study. KHA understands that the Applicant has
engaged Fehr & Peers to prepare a trip generation analysis that will be
submitted to the City's Traffic Engineer. The City Traffic Engineer will
utilize this information to input into the Citys model. The results of the
model runs will be provided to KHA to utilize in preparation of the Initial
Study analysis. This scope has been prepared in the event that the
Department of Public Works does not prepare the level of service
analysis, In addition., we have assumed that the City will not prepare the
CMP level analysis. Therefore, we anticipate studying five (5)
intersectionst including CMP designated intersections. KHA will describe
the existing traffic conditions of the site, including site ingress/egress,
s "te circulation within and proximate to the site,, the roadway network
serving the site and the expected changes that would result from
developme'nt of the proposed project, KHA will review and incorporate
existing City poes and guidelines regarding traffic in the Initial Study.
The Initial Study will identify the potential traffic impacts and
recommend mitigation measures to reduce impacts. The following
scenarios will be analyzed:
Existing Conditions
Baseline Co nditions
Baseline Plus Project
General Plan Plus Project Buildout (Cumulative)
As an ""optional," task, KHA will work with the project applicant to
develop an overall strategy for project connectivity to the surrounding
downtown roadway and transit network, including providing
connectivity for pedestrians and bicycles, as well as recommending
specific design elements that facilitate more efficient project
sustainability. This option also includes preparation of a parking

assessment to validatelverify parking demand, parking (structure
capacity, and parking ratios utilized to assess parking requirements.
HazardslHazardous Materials. Based on the preparation of the 199
Draft and Final EIR, KHA will uze the information in the previousli
certified EIR regarding the project site historical uses and remedia
actions taken on the west parcel by the Regional Water Control Boan
(RWQCB) and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Ou
scope of work assumes that an updated geotechnical technical repor
will be prepared for the site by others, which will address any relevan
updates or concerns relative to the protecting the structural integrity o
the onsite landfill cap, slurry walls and groundwater monitoring wells
KHA will incorporate the findings from this geotechnical report an(
describe the impacts that would result from development of thi
proposed project. KHA will review and incorporate existing City policie
and guidelines regarding hazardous materials in the Initial Study. Th
Initial Study will identify the potential hazardous materials impacts an
recommend mitigation measures to reduce impacts. I
HydrologylWater Quality. The hydrology and water quality impacts o
the proposed project will be analyzed in this section of the Initial Stud
KHA will describe the drainage collection and conveyance system
existinp, flood hazards and control facilities, and water quality, and th
impacts that could result from implementation of the project. KHA Wil
review and incorporate existing City policies and guidelines regardin
hydrology/water quality in the Initial Study. The Initial Study will identif
the potential impacts to hydrology/water quality and 'recommen
mitigation measures to reduce impacts.
Land Use and Planning. Given the entitlement actions being requeste(
by the Project Applicant (as noted above), KHA will focus this section o
the Initial Study on whether or not the 85,000 square foot increase ir
development area will result in conflicts with applicable San Rafae
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies and/or developmen
guidelines for -the project site. These include development policies o
guidelines specific to the Linclaro Office District, Downtown urban desigr
policies, zoning, FAR and height provisions, as well as applicabl(
ordinances. Impacts are anticipated to be less -than -significant
however, given the increase in site development density in concert wit[
the City's update to the General Plan subsequent to the origina
approvals, this topic warrants an updated discussion in the Initial Study
voo Geology and Soils. Utilizing the updated Gectechnical Report prepared
by the Project Applicants geotechnical engineer,, KHA will document the
existing site soil and geologic conditions. Any deviations from the
previously documented site Impacts (as identified in the 1997 certified
EIR) will be identified and new and/or modified mitigation measures will
be recommended to address project conditions. Given the existing site
Kimley - Horn Mr. Paul Jensen, Decemb�.-r 11, 2013, Page 7
and Associates, Inc,
conditions and corresponding regulatory oversight,, KHA will focus
particular attention on the geotechnical reports attention to/measures
describing maintenance and protection of the onsite cap during
construction,
The following three (3) topical areas will be prepared as technical reports,
included as an Appendix to the Initial Study and relevant information
incorporated within the body of the Initial Study Checklist.
Air Quality. KHA's subconsultant, RBF Consulting will prepare the Air
Quality section of the EIR as follows:
Existina ConditionslRegulatory Framework. The project is located withil
the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB), which is under thi
jurisdiction of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)
Baseline meteorological and air quality data developed through th(
California Air Resources Board (CARB) will be utilized for the descriptiol
of existing ambient air quality. Air quality data from the nearest ai
quality monitoring station will be •included to help highlight existing ai
quality local to the project area. The analysis will also describe an(
address the requirements set forth by the BAAQMD CEQA Air Qualit,
Guidelines. The air quality analysis will be structured to address th(
following questions from Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines-,
Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an
existing or projected air quality violation;
Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations;
Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of
people;
Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
plan; and
Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is in nonattainment under an
applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard (including
releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for 03
Construction -Related Emissions. RBF will quantify construction
emissions with the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). A
general description of the major phases of construction and their timing
will be required. The air pollutant emissions during construction will be
compared to the BAAQMD regional thresholds of significance. RBF will
also qualitatively discuss naturally occurring asbestos impacts.
Long -Term Emissions. RBF will quantify operational (i.e., area and
mobile source) emissions and provide a comparison to the BAAQMD
i
regional thresholds of significance. The emissions will be quantitatively
derived utilizing CaIEEMod. Primary sources of emissions will be related

to area sources and local/regional vehicle miles traveled. Project
i
consistency with the latest BAAQMD Clean Air Plan will be evaluated.
Toxic Air Contaminants. Per the BAAQMD requirements, the analysis
will address toxic air contaminants based on the following criteria:
The proximity of the toxic air contaminants to sensitive receptors;
The likelihood and potential level of exposure; and
The degree to which project design will reduce the risk of exposure.
Greenhouse Gas EmissionslGlobal Climate Change KHA"s
Subconsultant, RBF Consulting will review project land use data and will
prepare an inventory of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (i.e.,
nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide) from both direct (i.e., area
and mobile sources) and indirect sources (i.e., energy/water
consumption and wastewater/solid waste generation). Construction
related GHG emissions will also be quantified and evaluated, The
M inventory will be quantified with CalEEMod. Impacts will be
determined based on compliance with a City's Climate Change Action
Plan (April 2009) as well as with applicable policies within the
Sustainability Element of the General Plan. Depending on the project's
consistency with the City"s Climate Change Action Plan and Sustainability
Element, RBF may analyze the project's GHG emissions in relation to
BAAQMD significance thresholds. Due to the City"s potential for sea
level inundation as identified in the Sustainability Element, the analysis
will also address the susceptibility of the project site to sea level,rise.
The climate change analysis will be structured to address the following
questions from Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines:
Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectl
that may have a significant impact on the environment; and
Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for th
purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. I
This task accommodates revisions based on one consolidated set of
comments. Additional comments can be addressed on a time and
materials basis. The draft Air Quality/GHG Study can be completed with
three weeks of receipt of the above requested items. The study will be
provided in electronic format only (pdf and Microsoft Word). This scope
excludes meeti ngs/hea rings.
44** Noise. KHA's subconsultant, RBF Consulting will prepare the Noise
section of the EIR as follows-,
Existing ConditionslRegulatory Framework. RBF will review applicable
noise and land use compatibility criteria for the project area. Noise
standar s regulating noise Impacts will be discussed for 'land uses on

d. to the project site. RBF will conduct a site visit throughout
the project site. During the site visit, RBF will conduct short-term noise
level measurements along the project area. The noise monitoring
survey will be conducted at up to three separate locations to establish
baseline noise levels in ® project area. Noise recording lengths are
anticipated to require approximately 15 minutes at each location. The
noise analysis will be structured to address the following questions from
Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. -
Expose persons to, or generate noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or
applicable standards of other agencies;
Expose persons to or generate excessive ground borne vibration or
ground borne noise levels;
Result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in
the project vicinity above levels existing without the project;
Result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient
noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the
project;
For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such
a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or
public use airport, expose people residing or working in the project
area to excessive noise levels; and
For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,, expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels.
Construction -Related Noise and Vibration. Construction would occur
during Implementation of the proposed project. Noise impacts from
construction sources will be analyzed based on the anticipated
equipment to be used, length of a specific construktion task,, equipmeWm
power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and
percentage of time in use. The construction noise impacts will be
evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent
continuous noise levels (Leq) and the frequency of occurrence at
adjacent sensitive locations. An analysis of vibration impacts from
potential pile driving or drilling for the placement of piles will be based
on the Federal Transit Administration's vibration analysis guidance.
Analysis requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area,
specific construction activities, and Noise Ordinance specifications.
Operational Noise Sources. On- and off-site noise impacts from
vehicular traffic will be assessed using the U.S. Federal Highway Traffic
Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). The 24-hour weighted
Community Noise Equivalent Levels (CNEL) will be presented in a tabular
format. On-site noise generating activities will also be addressed and
analyzed for potential impacts to the adjacent uses.

I would like to request that item 3.c relating to Corporate Center EIR work
be removed from the consent agenda for tonight's Council meeting to allow
for fuller discussion.
According to the staff report and attached consultant letter proposal,
Biomarin is considering building an additional 85,000 sq. ft. 'lab' building
on the west parking lot of the Corporate Center campus, in addition to the
already -approved offices and parking garage to be built on Second Street.
This is great news in terms of the employment and vitality that the project
could bring to Downtown and the Station Area, and its endorsement of
Downtown San Rafael as a great place to do business.
Since this new building clearly requires City approval, which is at the
complete discretion of the City, it may also offer the opportunity to
negotiate public use (and potential enlargement) of the new garage to
relieve some of the parking burden that is encumbering proper development
of smaller downtown parcels, as described in the Station Area Plan.
Sustainable San Rafael urges the City to adopt a proactive and
entrepreneurial spirit in pursuing a public/private partnership to realize and
catalyze the full potential of this gateway area to downtown San Rafael.
We applaud • the EIR work includes an updated parking -demand study
anticipating the positive impact of SMART on commuter driving. While the
additional lab space will certainly require parking, it may be that greater
availability of and incentives for transit use can reduce the overall parking
needs of the campus.
We also welcome the data that the EIR work can provide to help mitigate
Sea Level Rise, freeway air quality impacts, energy and water demands, and
other sustainability • all of which need to • factored into
optimizing the future of our downtown, and the Station Area in particular.
