Public Hearing - Addendum to the FEIR/FEIS Bristol Street/Memory Lane Intersection Improvement December 5, 2017 Page 2 • The ROW width would be increased from 100 feet to 111 feet. • The street section width would be increased from 84 feet to 95 feet. • The ROW acquisition does not result in building nor property modifications. A resolution approving the Addendum to the FEIS/EIR (Exhibit 3) is needed to allow expenditure of grant funding for ROW acquisition and construction of the project. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution in accordance with the CEQA requirements. According to Community Commercial (C1) and Specific Development 27 (SD27) zoning requirements of the three impacted properties, the current standard setback is 15 feet. If the recommended acquisitions take place, the setback for two of the properties will be less than standard at three pinch point locations (Exhibit 4); two created by roof overhang setbacks of 12 feet and 14 feet, and a third location where a small balcony shielded by landscaping and vegetation is setback 11 feet. In accordance with Municipal Code Section 41- 781, the City may acquire property for public improvements which may result in non-standard setbacks if approved by the City Manager in consultation with the City Council. Since these setback variances are minor and since project costs are reduced from minimized ROW acquisitions, staff requests authorization from the City Manager to approve the nonstandard landscape setback. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy G (develop and implement the City's Capital Improvement Program in coordination with the Community Investment and Deferred Maintenance Plans for Bristol Street widening. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In 1990, City Council approved the Bristol Street Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR No. 89-01). Due to several minor design modifications, an addendum to the FEIS/EIR has been prepared. Staff recommends City Council to adopt the resolution approving the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report in accordance with Section 15164(d) of the California Environmental Quality Act.
