FINANCIAL IMPACT: The estimated total project cost for the proposed District Attorney's Headquarters Building is $22.5 million._, Staff estimates that no additional General Fund revenues will be required to finance this project. The recommended'financing plan would fund the project through a combination of appropriations already budgeted in a capital project account for this project, Criminal Justice Construction Funds that are restricted for use on criminal justice facilities projects, and proceeds from a future lease revenue bond sale to be executed in late 2006. The financing plan is summarized in the chart below. Board of Supervisors District Attorney Headquarters Building May 2,2006 Phage#3 0 Financing Plan: Funding Source Amount • Current Budgeted Appropriations $3.8 million Criminal Justice Construction Funds 4.8 million Future Bond Proceeds 13.9 million Total $22.5 million The $13.9 million in future bond proceeds recommended to finance this project would result in an annual debt service obligation to the County of approximately $1.16 million. This annual debt service cost would be paid from the following revenue streams: • $600,000 in annual.Criminal Justice Facility Construction Funds, restricted for expenses associated with construction of criminal justice facilities; • $225,000 in annual operating savings to the District Attorney's budget resulting from consolidation of four offices into one centralized location; and • $225,000 to $375,000 in annual occupancy cost savings that the County would realize upon vacating several leased and/or debt financed facilities. The range of occupancy cost savings depends on the County's ability to find replacement O tenants for currently occupied spaces. Should the County be unsuccessful in finding a replacement tenant for all locations, the District Attorney's Office has committed to absorbing the incremental cost within its operating budget. III. BACKGROUND: A. Project Overview Over the last decade, the Office of the District Attorney has expanded its operations into multiple locations around Martinez in order to accommodate its increasing staff and caseloads. The District Attorney's headquarters office on the 4`h floor of the Justice Wakefield Taylor Courthouse located at 725 Court Street, Martinez, is overcrowded and marginally accessible to the public. On April 29, 2003, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County Administrator, in coordination with the District Attorney's Office, 'to study the feasibility of a new headquarters building in downtown Martinez. Subsequently, Kava Massih Architects developed a space needs assessment, a site master plan and architectural drawings for a new office building that consolidates four separate offices into one new District Attorney Headquarters Building adjacent to the courts in downtown Martinez. Las Juntas, Court, Green, and Ward Streets bound the County-owned'site identified for the new building. Historically, both the County Assessor's - Office and the Veteran's Memorial Building were located on this block. The Assessor's Office has relocated from 834 Court Street to the Summit Center on Highway 4, leaving the physically obsolete Board of Supervisors District Attorney Headquarters Building May 2,2006 Page#14 building at 834 Court Street unoccupied. The proposed District Attorney Headquarters Building would replace the Assessor's Building with a 53,000 square foot four-story office » building, while leaving the,Veteran's Memorial Building intact next door. ' The proposed building would centrally house 150 District Attorney employees and include offices for the Victim Witness program, the Juvenile Unit, the Drug Unit, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Law and Motion, Information Technology, a law library, Felony Three Strikes, Homicide, Welfare Fraud, Administration, Special Operations, Auto Insurance Fraud, and Worker's Compensation Fraud. Upon completion of the project, the District Attorney's Office would vacate leased offices space at 627 Ferry Street as well as #' County-owned space at 1111 Ward Street, 3`a floor, 10 Douglas Drive, 2°d floor, and 725 Court Street, 4th floor.' On October 4, 2005, the Martinez City Council presented_ information to the Board regarding the project. The information submitted has been included in this report as well (refer to Exhibit E). In recent months, the District Attorney has worked closely with an ad hoc committee of the Martinez City Council and interested Martinez residents to resolve concerns about some aspects of the initial exterior design of the proposed building. As a result of these meetings, the District Attorney agreed to some exterior design changes. The.building skin has been changed from corrugated aluminum to stucco. In addition, the exterior of the Community Room on Court Street has been re-designed, and several other minor exterior design changes have been incorporated. These changes have reasonably satisfied the concerns expressed about the impact of the DA Building on the downtown district. . t B. CEQA Analysis The Notice. of Public Review and Intent to Adopt a Proposed ,Mitigated Negative Declaration was filed with the County Clerk and distributed to the City of Martinez and other interested parties on. October 27, 2005. The last day to file comments on the adequacy of the document was November 17, 2005. The comment period was extended to November 28, 2005 in response to a request from the City of Martinez for additional time. During the comment period, letters were received from the City of•Martinez, Kathleen Henderson, Roy Jeans, Martinez Historical Society and Ken Dothee (refer to Exhibit Q. In addition, correspondence from the State Office of Historic Preservation and from Mr. Michael Corbett was received outside of the public.comment period. These letters have also been included in Exhibit C. The Community Development Department has reviewed the comments received and, although not required by the California Environmental Quality Act, has prepared a response to these comments (refer to Exhibit Q. In addition, the key issues expressed in • these letters are summarized in this report along with a staff analysis. i Board of Supervisors District Attorney Headquarters Building May 2,2006 Page#5 QThe comments focus on two main issues, the first of which is whether the demolition of the existing building and its replacement with the District Attorney Headquarters building would have an adverse affect on historical resources. Numerous commenters suggest that the County did not properly study the issue and that the demolition of the building would cause a significant adverse impact to historical resources, thus requiring the preparation of an environmental impact report. We believe that the commenters erred in both assertions. There are four components of the argument that the project may adversely impact historical resources: • the building planned for demolition is historical or should be studied for its historical value; • the demolition of the building and the construction of the new building would adversely affect the Finance and Courthouse buildings which are both listed historic resources; • the construction of the new building would adversely affect the ability to designate the downtown Martinez area as historic - the analysis for this project should have identified whether the downtown area could be qualified for historic district status and, if it could,what affect this building would have on such listing; and • the construction of the new building would adversely affect the Veteran's Building Owhich is on the Martinez Historic Resources Inventory. While County staff recognizes that there may be differing views on the design of the building, we believe that this difference of opinion is a planning matter. We do not concur that additional evaluation of historic resources is required for an adequate Mitigated Negative Declaration. On the contrary, there is sufficient information from which to draw the conclusions regarding potential impacts. The work of the District Attorney and the ad hoc committee that resulted in the changes to the building exterior was designed to address these planning concerns. The changes do not alter the impacts or mitigation measures as detailed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. 1) Is the Building Proposed for Demolition a Historic Resource? None of the criteria in Section 15064.5(3) of the CEQA Guidelines apply. The Assessors Building is not listed on the California Register of Historic Resources nor has it been determined by the State Historic Resources Commission to be eligible. It is not included in a local register of historic resources as defined by the CEQA Guidelines. The building has been remodeled several times and there is no basis, from the previous uses, to suggest that it would meet the criteria for listing. The County staff has not elected to identify the building as a historic and would not recommend doing so based on the lack of substantial evidence to support the designation. Board of Supervisors District Attorney Headquarters Building May 2, 2006 Page#6 2) Will the Proposed Project Adversely Affect the Finance and Courthouse • Buildings,which are Existing Historic Resources? Section 150645 (b) (2) specifies the criteria for determining whether the significance of an historical resource is impaired. The proposed project does not alter the Finance Building or the Courthouse Block. It does not demolish, destroy, relocate or alter the resource. It does, however, involve the replacement of a building located in the area. That change does not adversely affect these historic resources as defined in the CEQA Guidelines. The National Register of Historic,Places indicates that the two building were nominated ' and placed on the Register due to their architecture/engineering and the events associated with the two buildings. The proposed District Attorney Headquarters i Building does not alter the architecture, the engineering or the events associated with the two buildings which formed the basis of their designation There is'no evidence to suggest that the listing of these buildings would be jeopardized due to the proposed project. On the contrary, the listings show that the placement was due to the individual buildings rather than the surrounding vicinity. 1' 3) Would.the Proposed Project Adversely Affect the Designation of the Downtown Martinez Area as a Historic District? • In 1982, the City of Martinez adopted by resolution a Historical Resource Inventory. It does not appear that any ordinances were adopted pursuant to that list. Several commenters asserted that the construction of this project would adversely affect the t future designation of the area as.a historic district. No substantial evidence of this assertion has been provided. The Historic Inventory includes a list of 40 buildings. The proposed building is located in the block that is on the edge of the area. According to a letter submitted by Mr. Michael Corbett, an architectural historian; the Assessor's building is identified as one of the least important contributors. There is no substantial evidence that the removal of this one building which is located on the periphery of the area would =` adversely affect the listing of the area as a Historic District., In a dynamic urban environment.new construction will result in buildings with modern characteristics. Some Federal guidance has promoted that when designing new buildings it is not required that they appear to be an old building, but that the new structure is respectful of the nearby historic buildings. The proposed project will be set back from Ward Street (the viewshed from the courthouse which is on the national Register of Historic Places); the project will preserve existing trees and add additional trees along Ward Street (see Figure 5a and 5b of the Initial Study). The District Attorney Building architects have, in response to public input, modified the • exterior by replacing corrugated aluminum siding with stucco, adding concrete wall at the base of the building on the south west and north elevation, redesigning Board of Supervisors District Attorney Headquarters Building May Z 2006 Page#7 Owindows, and providing details that are reminiscent of the architectural detail identified by the public as visually(and historically) important. These changes to the architecture are shown in Attachment #3 of the Responses to Comments Document (refer to Exhibit Q. 4) Would the Project Adversely Affect the Veteran's Building? The Veteran's building is included in the Historic Inventory List which was adopted by the City of Martinez in 1982. The building has not been included in the California Register and there is no information in the record to substantiate a finding for inclusion. However, it is located in a local list which was adopted by the City. The proposed project has been designed so that the Veteran's Building remains as is. The project does not have any direct impact on the Veteran's Building. In addition, there is no evidence to suggest that the removal of the Assessor's Building would somehow jeopardize the inclusion of the Veteran's Building within a future Martinez Historic District. The proposed building does not block or otherwise separate the Veteran's building from other historic buildings in the area. Parking OVarious commenters have raised issues with the accuracy of the parking analysis. Staff reviewed all of the parking information as well as the source for the data included. The City of Martinez questioned the assumption that no additional parking would be necessary for the 73 District Attorney's office employees .that currently occupy a portion of the County Courthouse Building. Table XVI-1 of the Initial Study shows that in the future, the County Courthouse space would be used by 35 employees. However, the notes indicate that 38 Court employees would use this space. The "38" number listed in the notes is the correct data. Those 38 court employees currently have leased parking space separate from their current building. When they move to the County Courthouse space vacated by the District Attorney's Office, they will retain their existing leased parking space. This leased parking space is separate from the building that they are currently occupying at 629 Main Street. It should be noted that the statement in the Initial Study that the 38 employees currently occupying 629 Main Street will not be backfilled is incorrect. That space could be leased to another user who would have parking demands. As such, an Errata has been prepared which clarifies the Initial Study including Table XV-I and Table XV-2, increasing the need for parking by 38 spaces to reflect the parking demand created by the backfilling of 649 Main Street. As a result of including the parking need created when 629 Main Street is occupied, the project will result in an increased parking demand of 31 spaces. This number of spaces can be accommodated by the existing parking within the 1000 foot radius area. Within this area, parking occupancy will increase to 67%. This change does not alter the l Board of Supervisors District Attorney Headquarters Building May 2,2006 Page#8 significance of the impacts or mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative • Declaration. It should be noted that in the area west of Court Street, parking occupancy may-reach saturation. During the survey, this area showed 28 spaces available, which could be fully utilized if the increase parking demand focuses in this area. Although this does not create an adverse environmental impact (given the vacancy rate in the 1000 foot area), there would be localized inconvenience. Since parking may reach saturation in the localized area to the west of Court Street, the Community Development Department evaluated the occupancy of the existing County parking lots in the area. Parking surveys were conducted on fifteen days from January through April of 2006, with lots checked four times each business day. The review found s that the Family Law Center lot (90 spaces) is fully utilized with full occupancy at the 8:00 a.m. The "Upper Escobar" lot (24 spaces) is also fully utilized by 8:00 a.m.-There appears s to be opportunity to provide additional parking through improved utilization of two County lots, the Building Inspection lot on Escobar (20 spaces) and the 121 space gated lot on Escobar. The Building Inspection lot generally had a 75%vacancy rate, and the 121 x' space gated lot showed time periods of 30% vacancy. Based on the parking survey, the Community Development Department has forwarded the • following conclusions and recommendations to the County Administrator's Office: • The Building Inspection Department lot on Escobar has opportunity for improved utilization primarily because many of the fleet vehicles are on site during limited times of the day. The County may want to consider expanding the use of the lot to other county uses. • The 121 space gated lot on Escobar is underutilized. However, utilization after construction of the District Attorney's office is expected to increase. Consideration should be given to relocating the Building Inspection vehicles (which have only limited parking needs during the business day) to this lot. Consideration should also be given to utilize stacked parking for Building fleet n vehicles. • Although the Family Law Center parking lot is fully utilized, it appears to be used in part by employees in downtown businesses.' Signage identifying the lot for County employees would help alleviate this issue. • Monitor the County lots on a quarterly basis through the first year of occupancy of the District Attorney building to ensure optimum utilization of County owned parking lots.

J of the County-Ad rator DATE: April 3, 2006 TO: Capital Facilities Committee of the Board of Supervisors Supervisor John Gioia Supervisor Mary Piepbo FROM: Jason Crap /"G Capital Facilities Administrator SUBJECT: PROPOSED DISTRICT ATTORNEY HEADQUARTERS BUILDING Recommendations 1. ACCEPT this progress report from the County Administrator's Office and District Attorney's Office regarding the proposed new District Attorney (DA) Headquarters Building. 2. RECOGNIZE that construction of the proposed new facility has an estimated tow cost of $22.5 million and that the financing plan does not rely on the use of additional General Fund resources. 3. DIRECT the General Services Department to negotiate amendments to the consulting services agreements with URS Corporation and Kava Massih Architects for project management and architectural services during the construction phase,of the project, and submit these amendments to the Board of Supervisors for approval. 4. CONFIRM the Committee's prior recommendation to the Board of Supervisors that the Board direct the General Services Department,in coordination with URS Corporation, to seek competitive bids for construction of the new facility, upon Board of Supervisors approval of required California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents. Background Over the last decade, the Office of the District Attorney has expanded its operations into multiple locations in Martinez to accommodate its 'increasing staff and caseloads, The District Attorney's headquarters office on the 4"' floor of the Old Courthouse at 725 Court Street, Martinez,is overcrowded and marginally accessible to the public. Tr On April 29, 2003, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County Administrator,in coordination with the District Attorney's Office, to study the feasibility of a new headquarters building in downtown Martinez. Subsequently, Kava Massih Architects developed a space needs assessment, a =4 site master plan and a schematic design for a new office building that consolidates four separate 4t offices into one new District Attorney headquarters building adjacent to the courts in downtown Martinez. Las Juntas, Court, Green, and Ward Streets bound the County-owned site identified for the new building. Historically,both the County Assessor's Office and the Veteran's Memorial Building were located on this block. The Assessor's Office has relocated from 834 Court Street to the Summit a Center on Highway 4,leaving the physically obsolete building at 834 Court Street unoccupied. The `s proposed District Attorney Headquarters building would replace the Assessor's building with a 53,000 square foot, four-story office building,while leaving the Veteran's Memorial Building intact next door. i a The proposed building would centrally house 150 District Attorney employees and include offices for the Victim Witness program, the Juvenile Unit, the Drug Unit, Domestic Violence, Sexual '- Assault Law and Motion, Information Technology, a law library, Felony Three Strikes, Homicide, } Welfare Fraud,Administration, Special Operations,Auto Insurance Fraud, and Worker's Compensation Fraud. Upon completion of the project, the District Attorney's Office would vacate e d leased offices space at 627 Ferry Street as well as County-owned space at 1111 Ward Street, 3` floor, 10 Douglas Drive, 2"d floor, and 725 Court Street, 4t floor. Recent Proiect Developments Based on direction given by the Board of Supervisors on May 3, 2005, the District Attorney, in coordination the County Administrator's Office,worked with the architects, consultants, and project ' ` managers to complete construction documents for the new District Attorney Headquarters Building. By early December 2005, construction documents for the new facility were substantially complete. µg On December 8, 2005, the Capital Facilities Committee approved the staff recommendation to ' request authorization from the Board of Supervisors to seek bids for construction of the new9 facility, contingent upon Board approval of the required CEQA findings. m Subsequent to the December 8,2005 meeting of the Capital Facilities Committee, the District 4` Attorney has met with the members of the Martinez City Council Ad Hoc Committee, as well as city staff and several interested Martinez residents to resolve continuing concerns by some MartinezY residents over the exterior cladding and some exterior design elements of the proposed building. ' ti^3E. As a result of these meetings, the District Attorney agreed to some exterior design changes. The building skin has been changed from corrugated aluminum to stucco. In addition, the exterior of x the Community Room on Court Street has been re-designed, and several other minor exterior design changes have been incorporated. It is believed that these changes have satisfied, for the most part, the concerns expressed about the impact of the DA Building on the downtown district. The architects are re-generating the Construction Documents for the project to incorporate the agreed upon exterior design changes. This process is now nearly complete. 2 s; z R .. � ?.rdxfr� _c, 3'�w�'aaY.O.'�3' f .' � .o.. fw"�.`szt3 OProiected Costs and Financing Plan The design changes and delay resulting from the recent effort to address the concerns of some Martinez residents regarding the exterior design of the new facility has increased architectural costs for the project by $128,000 and increased construction cost inflation resulting from delay by approximately$150,000, for a total estimated cost increase of$278,000. However, these increased costs are partially offset by an agreement by the City of Martinez to waive approximately$110,000 in fees associated with the facility. In addition, the change in the design of the exterior cladding from corrugated aluminum to stucco results in reduced materials costs (stucco being a less expensive material). As a result of these offsetting factors, the net financial impact of recent design changes can be contained within the existing project budget. Consequently, the project cost estimate from the construction project management firm URS Corporation remains unchanged at$22.5 million. These costs are summarized as follows: Design Phase Costs $ 3,000,000 Construction Phase Costs 19.500.000 Total $ 22,500,000 Over the past several years, the District Attorney has accumulated $3.8 million in general fund balance in a Plant Acquisition account to help fund the proposed project. In order to minimize the O amount of lease revenue bonds ultimately needed to finance this project, the County Administrator proposes that the County utilize an estimated$4.8 million in Criminal justice Facility Construction Funds as partial funding. The balance of$13.9 million in project costs would be funded with lease revenue bond proceeds. Attachment 1 presents the preliminary financing plan for this project, which includes the assumption that the County would issue lease revenue bonds for the project in late 2006. The financing plan for this project relies on the following revenue streams to offset the estimated debt service on the bonds: • $600,000 in annual Criminal Justice Facility Construction Funds,which are restricted for expenses associated with construction of criminal justice facilities. • $225,000 in annual operating budget savings created due to consolidation of four offices into one centralized location. • $225,000 to$375,000 in annual occupancy cost savings that the County would realize upon vacating several leased and/or debt financed facilities in Martinez. The range of occupancy cost savings generated from vacating current DA office spaces depends on the County's ability to find replacement tenants for these spaces. For example, the District Attorney's Office leases space at 627 Ferry Street,which will cost approximately $110,000 per year by FY 2008-09. Should the County be unsuccessful in finding a replacement tenant for this space, this rent would remain a County obligation until the expiration of the lease in 2011. If the County O does not achieve savings that fully offset the debt service on the new facility, the DA's Office has committed to absorbing the incremental cost within its operating budget. 3 C O O O O O co m It m to to CD O O O O 00 <f N c� ti n ti 0 0 O O O O c0 CD N co w m CD d0 C O !D 1:mteq V O 0 CD 06 co N r r r M N O N r r N613, Vk to O O O O OMCF) V m co co h O O O O O O 'Q N c- h t- N O O O O O co co N co a0 m T r 0.

Project Location: 950 Ward Street Martinez, California 94553 The study area is located in downtown Martinez. Las Juntas, Court, Green, and Ward Streets bound the County-owned site identified for the new building. In the past, both the County Assessor's Office and the Veterans' Memorial Building were located on this block. Figure 1, Vicinity Map, shows the location of the site with respect to nearby communities and major roads. Figure 2, Location Map, provides a closer view of downtown Martinez. .-r :a The surrounding areas are generally characterized by a mix of low to moderate density office uses.

The Veterans' Memorial Building, also located on the same block, is currently used for Veterans' meetings and is occasionally used by the County s Courthouse for overflow court hearings and meetings. The County Assessor's building is no longer in use by the County Assessor's Office, although some records are stored there. Page 5 9 �3y. I4 f 1 vK Pk A 20 space parking lot is located on the southwest corner of the subject property, at Ward and v Las Juntas Streets. According to the County Assessor's records, the County Assessor's building was constructed in 1941 (possibly as early as 1940) and is approximately 20,153 square feet, and the Veterans' Memorial building was constructed in 1924. It should be noted that the Sanborn fire insurance maps do not depict the current Veterans' building as having been built before at least 1949. It appears that the Veterans' Memorial hall operations may have been located in one of the former subject property buildings prior to the current development. Over the last decade, the Office of the District Attorney has expanded its operations into multiple locations around Martinez in order to accommodate its increasing staff and caseloads. The District Attorney's headquarters office on the fourth floor of the Old Courthouse at 725 Court Street, Martinez, is overcrowded and marginally accessible to the public. Additionally, it remains unclear how much longer the District Attorney's Office will be allowed to continue occupying space at 725 Court Street due to legislation that would require the transfer of ownership of all County-owned court buildings to the State of California. In October 2002, the County Administrator's Office instigated a study with Kava Massih Architects to evaluate the feasibility of renovating the second floor of 1111 Ward Street to provide additional space for the District Attorney's Office. Kava Massih Architects' investigation of the structural and mechanical systems for the Ward Street building revealed that proposed tenant improvements were not financially feasible given the costs associated with bringing the building up to current seismic code requirements. A different solution to the District Attorney's Office space problem is needed. Subsequently the District Attorney, in coordination with the County Administrator's Office, initiated studies for relocating the headquarters of the District Attorney's Office to the proposed project site in downtown Martinez. Subsequently, Kava Massih Architects developed a space needs assessment, a site master plan, and a schematic design for a new office building that consolidates four separate offices into one new District Attorney Headquarters building at the proposed project site. Site Characteristics The subject property is located in the Las Juntas physiographic region of California. The Carquinez Strait is located approximately 2,000 feet to the north of the subject property. Elevations at and around the subject property range from 10 to 15 feet (USGS, 1980). The main soil type found on and around the subject property is comprised of the Zamora silty clay loam. The Zamora series soils consist of"well-drained soils that formed in alluvium from sedimentary rock." The soils are generally formed on alluvial fans and low terraces. According to the Contra Costa Water District, depth to groundwater in the vicinity of the subject property ranges from 9 to 16 feet below ground surface and flows to the northwest. Local groundwater conditions may vary. Description of Existing Site Improvements The block with the proposed project has two legal parcels; the Contra Costa County Assessor's Parcel Numbers are: • 373-267-001 (Veterans Memorial Building); • 373-267-005 (proposed District Attorney's site); Page 6 ,i I! j! As shown in Figures 4a, 5a, 6a, and 7a, current uses on the site include the approximately 20,153 square foot County Assessor's building and the.Veterans' Memorial Building (930 Ward Street). 5. Project Sponsors, Representative and Address: Brendan McDevitt, Project Manager URS Corporation 100 California Street, Suite 500 San Francisco, CA 94111-4510 (415) 777-0188 6. General Plan Designation: G (Governmental) in the Martinez General Plan 7. Zoning: GF (Government Facilities) in the Martinez Zoning Code 8. Description-of Project: Contra Costa County proposes the construction of a four-story District Attorney's Office Headquarters (DAO) comprising approximately 53,000 square feet of building. All improvements will be located on County-owned land adjacent to the Veterans' Memorial Building with the exception of improvements to parking lots at Green and Las Juntas and Court and Mellus Streets. The project is replacing an existing 20,153 square feet government office use (for a total of 32,847 square feet of new office). Currently a majority of the employees that will work in the new structure are already located in downtown Martinez in various offices. The site is currently developed with several buildings and parking. In the northeast corner is the Veteran's Memorial Building, and County Assessor's Office fronts Las Juntas, Green and Court Streets. Both of these structures appear on the 1940 USGS 15 minute quadrant. The Veteran's Memorial Building is set back from the street and is landscaped with bushes, a small grass area, and numerous trees. A 20 car parking lot is located at the corner of Ward and Las Juntas Streets. There is a small structure (a transformer) and an alleyway behind the Assessor's building. The project will raze the parking lot and all of the structures on site except the Veteran's Memorial Building. That parcel, the building and its associated landscaping, will remain untouched. The main entry will be off Ward Street via a plaza. A raised landscaped terrace will be located at the Las Juntas/Ward Street corner. Behind the Veteran's Memorial Building will be a courtyard which will connect with the plaza (to the north and west) and a connecting courtyard to the east (on Court Street). Street trees are proposed along Las Juntas and Green Streets. Trees are proposed for the plaza and the community courtyard in a small strip along Green Street (at Court Street). The new building will be metal with glass and wood. The clear anodized aluminum has a corrugated skin which allows in light. There are recessed areas within each of the floors that include wooden decks. A wood canopy is proposed over the main entrance on Ward Street. The main entry is flush with the Veteran's Memorial Building. The entrance on Court Street is a 17 ±foot, single story structure which is designed to compliment the Post Office (in scale). The balance of the structure is approximately 65' tall. The building is designed to be energy efficient. k Page 7 Construction times are proposed to be limited to 7:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday - Friday. Cut and fill is proposed to be balanced on site. Construction techniques will be selected to minimize v noise and vibration. Public Services Public services and utilities would be provided by the agencies listed below. The arrangements for services are discussed in detail in subsequent sections of the Initial Study. • Schools: Not applicable. • Fire and Emergency Service: Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) • Police Services: City of Martinez Police Department and the Contra Costa County Sheriff • Water: City of Martinez • Storm water: City of Martinez • Wastewater: Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) • Recycling: Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal • Parks and Recreation: City of Martinez • Gas and Electricity: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Onsite Parking The existing 20 space parking lot will be displaced with the new construction. No onsite parking improvements are proposed. Offsite Parking The parking lot at Green and Las Juntas Streets will be redesigned to accommodate compact cars and add five spaces to the existing lot. The existing parking lot near Mellus and Court Streets (APN 374-07-1006)will be redesigned and expanded to include the adjacent parcel (APN 374-07-1007)to accommodate 24 new parking spaces. Infrastructure The existing drainage facilities onsite will need to be partially reconstructed to accommodate the project. Storm drainage flows are to be dissipated in order to reduce erosion impacts. Best management practices (BMP) shall be implemented during construction operations and post- construction BMP will be also developed. 9. Other Public Agencies Whose Approval is Required: Responsible Agencies: A Responsible Agency is an agency other than the Lead Agency that has a legal responsibility for also carrying out or approving a project (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15096 and 15381). There are no Responsible Agencies for this project. Page 8 Trustee Agencies: Trustee Agencies have jurisdiction over certain resources held in trust for the people of California but do not have a legal authority over approving or carrying out the i project (Guidelines Section 15386). There are no Trustee Agencies for this project. Agencies with Jurisdiction by Law: In addition to contacting all Responsible and Trustee Agencies, the Lead Agency, must consult with, and seek comments from, every public agency that has jurisdiction by law with respect to the project; each city or county that borders on a city or county within which the project is located; and federal, state, and local agencies that exercise authority over resources that may be affected by the project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15086).

Page 10 I ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact I. AESTHETICS -Would the proposal: a. Have a substantial adverse effect on scenic X vista? Sources 1, 11 b. Substantially damage scenic resources, X including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? Sources 1, 11 c. Substantially degrade the existing visual X character or quality of the site and its surroundings? Sources 1, 11, 12 d. Create a new source of substantial light or X glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Sources 1, 11 Preface The clear anodized aluminum panels will be corrugated which creates a shadowed surface. This keeps the metal from producing glare. In addition, the metal surface will quickly patina dulling the anodized surface. This effect will be quickened by the building's proximity to the bay. Impact I.a. and b.: No Impact. The site is a completely developed office property, located in downtown Martinez. It is neither within a scenic vista nor near a scenic highway and therefore no impacts to scenic vistas or highways will occur. Mitigation Measure I.a. and b.: None Required. I.c.: Less_Than Significant Impact. The. project site (the city block) has three —._— components: the Veterans' Memorial Building the 20 space parking lot; and the complex of structures that formerly housed the County Assessor's office. The Assessor's former office will be demolished and the proposed District Attorney's office headquarters constructed. Buildings within the local area have many different architectural styles. There is no common architectural theme for the newer (past 1980's) buildings. The site is visible from all four streets around the site. This area of Martinez is in transition with buildings being replaced by new construction and some County offices relocating to other areas of Martinez. In the past twenty years the County has constructed the Family Law Building, the 5 Detention Facility, the Administration Building and the Clerk-Records Building. All of these buildings have different design themes, however they all have strong vertical elements, and are contemporary architecture. Some have glass elements, while others have brick elements. The building is metal, glass and wood and is of a different style than most nearby older buildings. The proposal calls for planting of large size containers of fast growing, tall trees as well as shrubbery. Once the new vegetation matures, it should effectively provide some Page 11 screening to the bulk of the new building from both Las Juntas and Green Streets and "soften" the view. Although the views into the site will be impacted, the site appears to lend itself to the proposed development. The parking lot will be eliminated and replaced by a plaza, a planting bed and trees. The proposed development is in scale with the newer adjacent developments. The building height is "stepped" back from Ward Street with a canopy (see Figure 8). Recessed areas along the upper floors also provide some relief. The Court Street side of the building is designed to compliment the Post Office building. The new building will result in more open area (plaza) and have more vegetation (trees)than currently exists on the site. Mitigation Measure I.c.: None Required. Impact I.d.: Less Than Significant Impact. Construction of the 53,000 square foot structure will affect the amount and glare emanating from the site. Outdoor lighting associated with the proposed development is to be designed and located to minimize ambient light levels for any given application, consistent with public safety standards. Ornamental, pedestrian scale lighting fixtures shall be utilized to the degree possible. Lighting fixtures shall be designed to minimize glare and the direct view of lighting sources. The skin of the structure will patina, dulling the anodized surface, thus reducing the potential for glare. Mitigation Measure I.d.: None Required.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES - In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation z and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agricultural and farmland. Would the project: a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, X or Farmland of Statewide importance " (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared to pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resource Agency, to non-agricultural use? (Source.1 b. Conflict with existing zoning for Agricultural X " use or a Williamson Act contract. Sources 8 c. Involve other changes in the existing X environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, non-agricultural use? Source 8 Impact Il.a., b. and c.: No Impact: According to the Contra Costa County General Plan 1990- 2005, the land having (a) prime agricultural soils and (b) the greatest potential for agricultural productivity in the County is for the most part designated as Agricultural Core. None of the " project site is comprised of lands designated as Agricultural Core, and the entire site is developed as are adjacent properties. Development will neither conflict with any agricultural uses, or result in the potential conversion of other soils to normal agricultural developed uses as this is an infill project ------.-----Mitigation Measures-Ilia:,—b -and-c.:--None-Req uired.—_. ----_------- ---------------- k 3' Page 13 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Ill. AIR QUALITY -Where available, the significant criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of X the applicable air quality plan? Source 9 b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute X to an existing or projected air quality violation? Source 9 c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net X increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? (Source 9 d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial X pollutant concentrations? Source 9 e. Create objectionable odors affecting a X substantial number of people? Source 9 Preface The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is the regional agency responsible for overseeing compliance with State and Federal laws, regulations, and programs within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin. The BAAQMD has prepared and/or implements specific plans to meet the applicable laws, regulations, and programs. Among them are the Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan (1994), Bay Area Clean Air Plan (2000), and the 2001 Ozone Attainment __._.___,P_lan_(currently_under revew_for approval.by EPA).-The.-BAAQMD has also developed CEQA guidelines to assist lead agencies in evaluating the significance of air quality impacts. Impact III. a., b. and c.: No Impact. In formulating compliance strategies, the BAAQMD relies on planned land uses established by local general plans. When a project proposes to change planned uses, by requesting a general plan amendment (GPA), the project may depart from the assumptions used to formulate BAAQMD in such a way that the cumulative result of incremental changes may hamper or prevent the BAAQMD from achieving its goals. This is because land use patterns influence transportation needs, and motor vehicles are the primary source of air pollution. Projects proposed in jurisdictions with general plans that are consistent with the BAAQMD's Clean Air Plan and projects which conform to those general plans would not have significant cumulative impacts. Carbon monoxide is an air pollutant that is directly emitted from combustion sources (e.g., automobiles)that concentrations can be modeled and compared with ambient air quality standards. A project such as this is considered by the BAAQMD to have a less than significant impact on carbon monoxide concentrations because it would (1) result in daily carbon monoxide emissions of less than 550 pounds, (2) traffic impacts would not be substantial at intersections Page 14 operating at Level of Service D, E, or F now and in the future, and (3) traffic on nearby arterial roadways would increase by less than 10%. The project would result in no net increase of new vehicle trips per day, as most of the employees are already located downtown and those that are being relocated into downtown (District Attorney's staff) would be more than offset by those ` relocating out of the area (Assessor's staff). The combination of indirect (e.g., mostly motor vehicle) and stationary or point sources of air pollution associated with the project would emit less than 550 pounds of carbon monoxide per day. Since the project meets these criteria, dispersion modeling is not necessary to identify that impacts on offsite sensitive receptors are less than significant. - The Bay Area is considered a non-attainment area for ground-level ozone under both the Federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean Air Act. The area is also considered non- attainment for respirable particulates or particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 )` micrometers (PM,o) under the California Clean Air Act, but not the Federal Act. The area has a' attained both State and Federal ambient air quality standards for carbon monoxide. The area is considered to be in attainment for all other regulated air pollutants (i.e., nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and lead). Attainment means the region normally does not violate air quality standards. 1 To attain and maintain ambient air quality standards for ozone and PM,o, the BAAQMD has established thresholds of significance for air pollutants. These thresholds are for ozone precursors (reactive organic gases and nitrogen oxides) and PM,o. The District is considered to have attained carbon monoxide standards. Build out of the project would result in the construction or modification of stationary air pollutant sources. Such sources could include combustion emissions from boilers used for heating and a: cooling and possibly standby emergency generators. However, the project would only add a few F new trips to existing traffic as most employees are already working in the downtown area. Additionally, the project would replace old inefficient heating and cooling systems with modern equipment that will produce considerably fewer emissions. Therefore the project would not add substantially to daily emissions. All pollutants associated with the project would be below the significance thresholds established by the BAAQMD. As a result, the project would have a less-than-significant impact on regional air quality. Mitigation Measure Ill.a., b. and c.: None Required., Impact Ill.d.1: Less Than Significant With Mitigation. During demolition, grading and construction activities, dust would be generated. Most of the dust would result during grading activities. The amount of dust generated would be highly variable and is dependent on the size of the area disturbed, amount of activity, soil conditions and meteorological conditions. Typical winds during late spring through summer are from the west-northwest. Nearby offices and residences could be adversely affected by dust generated during construction activities. Although grading and construction activities would be temporary, they would have the potential to cause both nuisance and health air quality impacts. PM,o is the pollutant of greatest concern associated with dust. If uncontrolled, PM,o levels downwind of actively disturbed areas could possibly exceed State standards. In addition, dust fall on adjacent properties could be a nuisance. If uncontrolled, dust generated by demolition, grading and construction activities represents a potentially significant impact unless mitigated. Mitigation Measure III.d.1: Implementation of the measures recommended by the BAAQMD and listed below would reduce the air quality impacts associated with grading and new construction to,a less than significant level: Page 15 1. Water all active construction areas at least twice daily and more often during windy periods, as necessary. 2. Cover all hauling trucks or maintain at least two feet of freeboard. Dust-proof chutes shall be used as appropriate to load debris onto trucks during demolition, as necessary. 3. Pave, apply water at least twice daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking areas, and staging areas, as necessary. 4. Sweep daily (with water sweepers) all paved access roads; parking areas, and staging areas and sweep streets daily (with water sweepers) if visible soil material is deposited onto the adjacent roads, as necessary. 5. Hydroseed or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas (i.e., previously-graded areas that are inactive for 10 days or more), as necessary. 6. Enclose, cover, water twice daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil binders to exposed stockpiles, as necessary. 7. Limit traffic speeds on any unpaved roads to 15 mph, as necessary. 8. Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible, as necessary. 9. Suspend construction activities that cause visible dust plumes to extend beyond the construction site, as necessary. 10. During renovation and demolition activities, removal or disturbance of any materials containing asbestos, lead paint or other hazardous pollutants will be conducted in accordance with BAAQMD rules and regulations, as necessary. Responsibility and Monitoring: The contractor shall submit the monthly construction report to the Contra Costa County Community Development Department and Building Inspection Department for review. __Impact III.d.2.: Less Than.Significant With Mitigation_ Exhaust from constructionequipment and associated heavy-duty truck traffic emits diesel particulate matter, which is a known Toxic Air Contaminant. The BAAQMD has not developed any procedures or guidelines for identifying these impacts from temporary construction activities where emissions are transient. They are typically evaluated for stationary sources (e.g., large compression ignition engines such as generators) in health risk assessments that evaluate lifetime exposures (i.e., 24 hours per day over 70 years). Although temporary, diesel exhaust from construction equipment poses both a health and nuisance impact to nearby receptors. These construction activities are expected to occur during a relatively short time but are considered potentially significant unless mitigated. Mitigation Measure III.d.2.: Implementation of the following measures will reduce diesel particulate matter exhaust from construction equipment: 1. Opacity is an indicator of exhaust particulate emissions from off-road diesel powered / equipment. The project shall ensure that emissions from all construction diesel v powered equipment used on the project site do not exceed 40 percent opacity for more than three minutes in any one hour. Any equipment found to exceed 40 percent opacity (or Ringelmann 2.0) shall be repaired immediately. Page 16 X z 2. The contractor shall install temporary electrical service whenever possible to avoid the need for independently powered equipment (e.g., compressors). 3. Diesel equipment standing idle for more than two minutes shall be turned off. This would include trucks waiting to deliver or receive soil, aggregate, or other bulk materials. Rotating drum concrete trucks could keep their engines running continuously as long as they were onsite and away from residences. 4. Properly tune and maintain equipment for low emissions. ' 5. The County shall designate a Disturbance Coordinator responsible for ensuring that F� mitigation measures to reduce air quality impacts to nearby residences from ,z construction are properly implemented. The Disturbance Coordinator shall be responsible for notifying adjacent land uses of construction activities and schedule y and shall provide a written list of the aforementioned dust control measures. The list shall identify a contact person that will respond to any complaints. A log shall be kept of all complaints and the actions taken to remedy any valid complaint as well as the response period. Responsibility and Monitoring: The Contra Costa County Community Development Department shall review and approve the development plans for inclusion of the measures. The Contra Costa County Building Inspection Division shall review the 6 = monthly construction report. Impact Ill.e.: No Impact. The project is not expected to be a source of objectionable odors 4.

The proposed project will not be expected to interfere substantially with the movement of wildlife nor impede use of any wildlife nurseries, or result in a substantial loss of wildlife habitat. No Page 18 fishery resources or important nursery areas would be affected. The proposed project would conform to relevant policies in the Contra Costa County and Martinez General Plans The proposed project would not conflict with any adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan or other approved conservation plan.

Source 1, 2, 5,12b Preface Native American archaeological sites in this portion of the County tend to be situated on alluvial flats and terraces near sources of freshwater such as creeks. The project site is in a flat area near what used to be an ephemeral creek. Given this setting, there is a moderate potential for Native American sites in the project area, however review of historical literature and maps give no indication of any documented cultural resources. The historical research presented in this section has established the use of the subject property since 1897. From at least 1897-1949 the subject property was developed with a church, a residential dwelling, and a carriage house which included a gasoline machine storage building. A machine shop was formally located in a portion of the County Assessor's building that is currently used for file storage. Information gathered during the Phase 1, Environmental Site Assessment, indicated that the current structures at the subject property were developed by at least 19581 The document indicates that between 1958 and 1961 the Veterans' Memorial Building was occupied by the California Highway Patrol. A swimming pool, depicted on the 1958 and 1961 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, was located on the site. The pool was filled with cement and this portion of the building is currently used for occasional court hearings. Impact V.a. and b.: Less Than Significant with Mitigation. The California Historical Resources Information System (Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University) reviewed records and literature for the project site. The review of literature and maps gave no indication of historic period cultural resources with the project area. However, it is known that the Courthouse block is on the Historic Register and the Veteran's Memorial building is on the Martinez Historic Resources Inventory. There is a possibility of identifying Native American sites and historic-period archaeological resources in the project area. As there are no exposed soils on the site, further onsite surveys would provide no additional visual information. The Office of Historic Preservation has Page 20 y. determined that buildings 45 years or older may have historic significance and none of the existing buildings on the property have been formally evaluated. The former Assessor's office has been remodeled on multiple occasions and the original architectural style has been f; compromised-The new construction will be as compatible with the known Federal Register sites as all of the other"newer" buildings, as all of the newer construction (see discussion under Impact I.c) have different design themes. Additionally, the Veteran's Memorial building and its existing vegetation will remain, thereby "softening" the view of the proposed DA Building from a the Courthouse. JI Mitigation Measure V.a. and b.: Due to the possibility that the area contains prehistoric r or historical archeological deposits, ground-disturbing activities associated with the t project might have the potential to result in impacts to cultural resources. Therefore, if deposits of prehistoric or historical materials are encountered during project activities, all work within the immediate vicinity of the finds shall be halted to prevent damage to the 3` a deposit, and a professional archeologist shall be contacted to evaluate the California i Register eligibility of the finds. If the finds are not eligible, further protection is not necessary. If the finds are eligible, they would need to be avoided or be mitigated in accordance with the recommendations of the evaluating archeologist. Responsibility and Monitoring: The Contra Costa County Community Development Department shall confirm that the recommendations of the archeologist (for the mitigation of adverse effects) are followed by the Project Sponsor. ' Impact V.c.: No Impact. The site is not identified in the Contra Costa County General Plan or the Martinez Draft Downtown Specific Plan EIR, as having the potential for paleonotological resources of unique geologic features. 'The site is underlain quaternary and alluvial deposits, generally too young to be paleontogically significant. This finding is consistent with the findings of the Geotechnical Report prepared for the site. Mitigation Measure V.c.: None Required. i Impact V.d.: Less Than Significant. There is the potential that if human remains may be found during construction, Contra Costa County's standard measures shall be implemented as a condition of approval. The condition shall state that if subsurface concentrations of historic archaeological materials are encountered during.any phase of construction, all land-disturbing work in the immediate vicinity (approximately 100 feet) of the finds shall cease until a qualified historical archaeologist identifies and evaluates the find for its significance to local or regional history and offers recommendations that provide for the protection and preservation of the significant finds.

Source 4 Preface The project site is not known to be underlain by any active or potentially active faults, therefore surface rupture is not considered to be a significant impact. The project site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zone. Faulting has been mapped in the area, but these faults are not considered capable of producing ground shaking resulting in potential ground rupture hazard. A Final Geotechnical Evaluation has been prepared for the site, available for review at Contra Costa County Community Development Department. A summary of the report is contained in Appendix B. Impact Vl.a.i.: Less Than Significant. The site is located in the San Francisco Bay Region and will likely be subjected to strong shaking during the life of the proposed building (seismic Zone =4). Several known faults in the region have the potential to generate strong shaking at Page 22 3 the site. Those faults are listed in the table below along with the distance from the site and classification based on the Uniform Building Code (UBC, 1997). .' TABLE VI-I: Known Faults Distance Fault Type Fault (km) Per UBC Concord Fault 4.6 B Green Valley Fault at north bank of Carquinez 7.5 B ' Straits (5 Hayward Fault 17.5 A 4 San Andreas Fault 47.1 A � Calaveras Fault (northern mapped extension in 25.4 A Danville The subsurface conditions consist of alluvium deposits with bedrock at 50 to 58 feet below the ground surface. The soil profile type SE is appropriate to represent the subsurface conditions at this site (in accordance with UBC, 1997). The near source factors of the UBC should be applied due to the proximity of the site to Concord fault. fi Mitigation Measure VI.a.i.: None Required. Impact Vl.a.ii., a.iii., a.iv. and c.: Less Than Significant. The boring performed for this study show the subsurface profile predominantly consists of silty and sandy lean and fat clay, with lesser amounts of imbedded clayey and sandy silt and silty and clayey sand with some gravel. The consistency of the cohesive material generally ranges from soft to very stiff, typically being soft at shallow depth (less than 25 feet) and becoming very stiff at greater depths. The plasticity of the cohesive material ranges from low to high. Potentially liquefiable layer of silty sand/sand was encountered in all borings drilled for this study at variable depths between 25 and 50 feet below ground surface. k Liquefaction is a phenomenon during which loose, saturated, cohesionless soils (generally sands) temporarily lose shear strength during ground shaking induced by severe earthquakes. Significant factors known to affect the liquefaction potential of soils include grain size distribution, relative density, degree of saturation, the confining stresses acting on the soils, the quality of the soil fines fraction, and the characteristics of the earthquakes, such as the intensity and duration of the ground shaking. According to the Knudsen et al, 2000, the alluvium that underlines the site has a "high" liquefaction susceptibility. The liquefaction potential for site was evaluated using the appropriate procedures. Settlements are associated with liquefaction of the silty and clean sand layers. However, since these layers are relatively deep in the soil profile, it was concluded the liquefaction-induced ground damage at the surface would be minor. The post-liquefaction settlements may result in loading to drilled piers, but settlements of the piers are expected to be less than the ground surface settlements. In addition, neither sand boils nor lateral spreading (no free face or sloping ground exists at this ' site) is expected to occur. Mitigation Measure VI.a.ii., a.iii., a.iv. and.c.: None Required. Impact VI.b.: Less Than Significant With Mitigation. The site will be disturbed for the construction of the buildings and parking. The exposed ground surface is then susceptible to erosion by wind and water until protected by temporary erosion control materials, planted with landscaping, or covered by impervious surfaces. Waterborne material would contribute to downstream sedimentation and deterioration of water quality. Implementation of the Proposed Page 23 Project would result in land disturbance of previously disturbed acres. Construction activities will be limited to 0.68 acres. Erosion control and water quality maintenance measures during and after project construction, must be prepared for the proposed project. Mitigation Measure Vl.b.: The County's construction contracts shall include erosion control measures that consist of, but not be limited to, constructing such facilities and taking such measures as are necessary to prevent, control, and abate water, mud, and erosion damage to public and private property as a result of the construction of this project, including the stockpiling of excavated material. Temporary erosion control measures include, but are not limited, to the following: • The Contractor shall conduct this operations in such a manner that stormwater runoff will be contained within the Project or channeled into the stormwater drain system which serves the runoff area. Stormwater runoff shall have silt and mud removed prior to being released in a storm drainage system. • Temporary drainage structures and other devices shall be provided to channel stormwater runoff water into the respective permanent storm drainage systems during construction. Mud and silt shall be settled out of the stormwater runoff before said runoff enters the stormwater drainage system. • Embankment, graded, and excavation areas shall be protected from erosion and the resulting siltation of downstream facilities and adjacent areas by use of temporary erosion control measures. Implementation of these measures would reduce the project's potential short-term erosion impacts to a less than significant level. J Responsibility and Monitoring: The Contractor shall prepare and submit an erosion control plan within 30 days from the Notice to Proceed. The plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Contra Costa County Community Development Department and Building Inspection Department.. Impact VIA.: Less Than Significant With Mitigation. Some of the clay soils encountered during drilling are low plasticity suggesting that the site soils should be considered to be moderately to highly expansive. Mitigation Measure VI.d.: The project shall comply with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical Report relating to expansive soils and the recommendations of the County Geologist, if deemed necessary. Responsibility and Monitoring: The Contra Costa County Community Development Department shall review and approve the Development Plans. Impact Vl.e.: No Impact. As noted in the discussion of Utilities and Services Systems (see Checklist Item XV1.a.), the project would be connected to the Contra Costa Sanitary District to convey wastewater for treatment and disposal. Therefore no impact is associated with the suitability of site soils relating to septic disposal. Mitigation Measure VI.e.: None Required.

Sources 1,2, 5, 6 Preface Hazardous materials are substances which can harm people or the environment. These materials can impair human health if contacted, ingested, or inhaled. Contacts which expose people and wildlife to harm occur when such substances are encountered in soil, groundwater, surface water, or air or when operations associated with specific land uses are deemed hazardous processes. Such processes are classified as hazardous because of materials they use or because of the potential for fires or explosions to occur at the facilities. Impact Vll.a., b., and c.: No Impact. Operation of the Proposed Project addition would not emit or use hazardous substances. Hazardous materials that could create significant environmental impacts would not be present on, or be transported to and from, the Proposed Project. Operation of the facilities would not be expected to release such material either accidentally or in an emergency. Educational facilities are located in proximity to the Proposed Project. However, as explained above,no acutely hazardous materials, substances or wastes would be emitted from the Proposed Project. Mitigation Measure Vll.a., b., and c.: None Required. _Impact Vll.d.: Less Than Significant With Mitigation. Clayton's Environmental Consultants (Clayton) prepared a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the subject property (August 10, 1999) and several environmental conditions were revealed in connection with the subject property: Page 25 County Assessor's and Veterans'Memorial Building (Site 1), 834 Court Street and 930 Ward Street • An auto supply store and machine shop were formally located in the southwestern portion of the County Assessor's Building from at least 1958 to 1961 • Prior to the construction of the County Assessor's and Veterans' Memorial buildings, a carriage house building with a gasoline machine storage were located on the northern portion of the subject property. Based on the data gathered during this investigation, Clayton draws the following conclusions: County Assessor's and Veterans'Memorial Building (Site 1), 834 Court Street and 930 Ward Street • Low levels of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), such as diesel and motor oil, were detected in the soil samples collected from the former auto service building located in the northeast of the Public Health building. • Also detected were low levels of TPH as gasoline, ethlybenzene and xylenes, and an elevated total lead concentration. The total lead concentration of 88 ppm is well below the USEPA-PRG limits for both residential and industrial soils. Based on the results of this limited subsurface investigation, the concentrations of chemicals detected in the samples collected do not appear to pose a significant environmental concern. However, Clayton conducted limited soil sampling in accessible areas of the subject property, and no groundwater samples were collected. Based on the historical uses of the subject property, and the fact that some petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in the soil, the possibility exists that other areas with environmental impacts are currently covered with asphalt and buildings. Mitigation Measure Vll.d.: Clayton recommends that environmental oversight be conducted during any demolition or remodeling activities which may expose the soils at the subject property. In addition, disturbed soil will be off-hauled and disposed should be characterized prior to removal. Clayton also recommends evaluating groundwater conditions for TPH and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Responsibility and Monitoring: During grading, the Contra Costa County Department of Environmental Health shall be apprised of any subsurface discoveries. If necessary, a mitigation plan shall be developed to the satisfaction of the County Environmental Health Department and proof of compliance shall be provided to Contra Costa County Community Development Department .

X Sources 1, 6, 11i Page 27 Preface The area of disturbance includes the parking area and the various on site structures that comprise the former County Assessor's Building and the secondhand clothing store (does not include the Veterans' Memorial Building parcel). This area of disturbance has no permeable surfaces. It is 100% impermeable. The proposed development will increase the area of permeable surface by almost 100 square feet, in addition to the infiltration associated with the proposed street trees. Impact Vlll.a. and f.: Less Than Significant With Mitigation. The District Attorney's Office Building construction will add an additional 100 square feet of pervious surface to the County owned parcel. Rooftops are catchment areas for particulates that are emitted from local and regional industry. Local industry includes oil refineries that are on the EPA's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) list, with several of these facilities located within ten miles of the site in Contra Costa County. Emissions from petroleum refining include dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, mercury, and other pollutants. Untreated water from these rooftops will flow directly into the storm drains connected directly to roof drains. Since the District Attorney's Office construction will be adding approximately 100 square feet of pervious surface to the site, new C.3 regulations (that mandate these regulations are designed to prevent onsite and offsite erosion and flooding from increased flows into the system) do not apply to this project. However, all projects are subject to Clean Water Act regulations that require implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP) for both temporary (construction related) and long term (permanent treatment) conditions. Mitigation Measure Vlll.a. and f.: Drainage on the site and in the landscaped areas should be developed to reflect BMP's for stormwater retention. Design suggestions on improving water quality shall be incorporated into project plans including designs such as: • At construction site gates, a bed of gravel and a berm will be constructed to capture particulates and contain runoff; • areas that include biofilters and planters; • pervious and hybrid parking lots (i.e. combinations of surfaces that have pervious qualities), and; • roof runoff controls. Responsibility and Monitoring: The Building Inspection Department shall ensure that the appropriate agencies, including the Contra Costa County Flood Control &Water Quality Division (CCCFD and WCD) and the Contra Costa County Department of Public Works (DPW), have reviewed and approved the plans. Impact Vlll.b., c., d., and e.: No Impact. No impact will result of this project as on-site recharge will continue at approximately the same rates as current conditions. There are no nearby wells that will be affected by the project. Mitigation Measure Vlll.b., c., d. and e.: None Required. Page 28 u h Impact VIII.a. and h.: No Impact.

The Proposed Project is located on a site that is surrounded by similar uses. As a result, project implementation would not physically divide an established community. Mitigation Measure IX.a.: None Required. Impact IX.b. No Impact. The project site is designated CD (Commercial) in the Contra Costa County General Plan and G (Governmental) in the Martinez General Plan and zoned GF (Governmental Facilities) on the Martinez Zoning Map. The County's Public/ Semi-Public designation is applied to land owned by public governmental agencies and allows a wide variety of public and private offices. The Proposed Project would continue and expand the existing onsite uses. The City of Martinez is currently developing a Specific Plan for downtown Martinez. Within the Plan is a designation for a Civic District. This plan has not yet been adopted. However, the intent of the Civic District is to... "provide a center for the existing functions and future expansion of the Contra Costa County government, including administrative,judicial and correctional facilities, and for federal, state and local civic facilities." A portion of the Civic District also falls into the Downtown Historic Overlay District, which provides standards for rehabilitation and new construction that are intended to preserve and enhance the historic character of the Downtown. Careful and compatible design of new development is important in maintaining the District's character and unique sense of identity. As required by Section 65402 of the Government Code, the Proposed Project will be referred to the City of Martinez. The City of Martinez will have the opportunity to review the Proposed Project and report whether the location and purpose of the project is in conformity with its General Plan. The project would not conflict with the site's land use designation or policies of the Contra Costa County or Martinez General Plans, thus resulting in no impact. Mitigation Measure IX.b.: None Required. Page 30 ow—w-Mile WAAMWW"40 Impact IX.c. No Impact. The Proposed Project is located in Downtown Martinez on developed property.

For a project located within an airport land X f use plan, or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public e' airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Sources 2, 10 f. For a project within the vicinity of a private X airstrip, would the project expose people ' residing or working in the project area to ' excessive noise levels? Sources 2, 10 Preface Land uses in the vicinity of the project site primarily include existing government buildings and supporting office buildings. The only residences are one block removed, south of Green Street. The noise environment at the site results primarily from vehicular traffic along local streets. The Noise Element of the County's General Plan indicates that office and commercial buildings are considered "normally acceptable" in noise environments up to 70 dBA Ldp. In noise environments considered to be "normally acceptable," the specified land use is satisfactory assuming that the building is of normal conventional construction, without any noise insulation features. f Impact XI.a.: Less Than Significant. The noise environment at the project site is expected to be comparable to existing conditions in the future. The Proposed Project would be considered "normally acceptable" by the City of Martinez noise and land use compatibility guidelines. Mitigation Measure XI.a.: None Required. Page 33 Impact XI.b.: Less Than Significant With Mitigation. Vibration levels associated with the construction are not expected to result in levels high enough to cause cosmetic or structural damage. However, depending on the proximity of existing structures to the construction area and the methods of construction used, the potential exists to generate vibration levels that may be perceptible to local uses. A non vibratory/low-impacted construction technique is being considered (a steel H-pile with possible pre-drilling down to 10-20 feet to minimize vibration). The demolition site excavation and foundation preparation period is estimated to be no longer than two months. Mitigation Measure XI.b.: Perceptible vibration can be kept to a minimum by use of administrative controls including: 1. notifying neighbors (property owners, residents and/or tenants) of scheduled construction activities, 2. scheduling construction activities with the highest potential to produce perceptible vibration to hours with least potential to affect neighbors, and 3. Pile driving, if necessary, shall be used to the least extent possible. Responsibility and Monitoring: The Building Inspection Department shall review and approve the development plans to ensure that the construction noise controls are in place. Impact XI.c.: No Impact. Traffic noise generated by the project is not projected to increase noise levels by more than 1dB above the existing noise environment. The project does not propose changes in traffic that are substantial enough (as most employees are already situated downtown) to provide a noticeable increase the noise environment at the nearby receivers (noise level increases of less than 1 dB are not noticeable to human hearing). Mitigation Measure XI.c.: None Required. Impact XI.d.: Less Than Significant With Mitigation. The construction of the Proposed Project would generate noise levels that would exceed ambient noise levels at noise sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project site. Construction activities would include removal of existing pavement, grading and excavation of areas on the site, and construction of new buildings or structures. Noise impacts from these activities depend on noise generated by various pieces of construction equipment, the timing and length of noise generating activities, and the distance between the noise generating construction activities and receptors that would be affected by the noise. The highest noise levels would be generated during grading of the site, with lower noise levels occurring during building construction. Large pieces of earth- moving equipment, such as graders, scrapers, and bulldozers, generate maximum noise levels of 80 to 85 dBA at a distance of 100 feet. Typical hourly average construction-generated noise levels are about 75 to 80 dBA measured at a distance of 100 feet from the site during busy construction periods. These noise levels drop off at a rate of about 6 dBA per doubling of distance between the noise source and receptor. Intervening structures or terrain result in lower noise levels. The closest existing noise sensitive land is the residential area located to the south and east of the site across behind the offices on Green Street. These residences are located approximately 50 feet from the proposed project, separated from the site by existing offices. Existing ambient daytime noise levels at adjacent residences range from approximately 54 to 62 dBA Leq. At Page 34 times, noise levels produced by heavy equipment may interfere with normal residential activities, especially during the pavement removal or grading. ; Typically, small, commercial or office construction projects do not generate significant noise impacts when standard construction noise control measures are enforced at the project site and when the duration of the noise generating construction period is limited to one construction u season (typically one year) or less. The impact is potentially significant unless mitigated. Mitigation Measure XIA: The following construction noise control measures are recommended to limit the amount of noise generated during the construction period. These measures would mitigate the impact to a less than significant level: 1. Limit normal construction activities to daytime hours (7:30 am to 5:00 pm) Monday s through Friday. 2. Utilize "quiet' models of air compressors and other stationary noise sources where r technology exists. ; 3. Prohibit unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines. 4. Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intake and exhaust t mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. 5. Locate stationary noise generating equipment as far as possible from noise sensitive receptors. 6. Designate a noise disturbance coordinator who would be responsible for responding a to any local complaints about construction noise. The disturbance coordinator would determine the cause of the noise complains (e.g., starting to early, bad muffler, etc.) and institute reasonable measures warranted to correct the problem. Conspicuously post a telephone number for the disturbance coordinator at the construction site. During the construction period, provide a complaint log to the Community Development Department. Responsibility and Monitoring: The Contra Costa County Building Inspection Department shall review and approve the development plans to ensure that the construction noise controls are in place during construction. t' Impact XI.e. and If.: No Impact. The project is not located within two miles of a public or private airport. Therefore, this is not a potential impact.

Displace substantial numbers of people X necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (Sources 1, 2, 10 Impact Xll.a. No Impact. Construction of the District Attorney's Office Headquarters is not likely to provide an increase in related jobs in the area. As there will be very few new full time jobs created. While some of the full and part time employees will move from existing facilities, those facilities will then become available for other comparable uses, which may result in some secondary inputs. The increase in construction work would be short-term, and the increase in demand for housing as a result of new permanent employment (even secondary employment) could likely be accommodated by the normal turnover in rental housing and planned increases in housing construction in the unincorporated area, the City of Martinez and other nearby cities. Construction on the project site will be served by existing facilities and therefore would not induce or facilitate unplanned or premature population growth. Mitigation Measure XII.a.: None Required. Impact Xll.b. and c.: No Impact. No housing units exist on the project site, thus none would be displaced by the project. The proposed project would not displace any existing population.

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) provides fire protection and responds to fire and hazardous materials calls in a 270-square foot mile area. The service area encompasses Martinez and nine other cities, with a population of approximately 300,000 people. The CCCFPD has 30 stations throughout the District and 400 personnel. The CCCFPD has two fire stations that will serve the project area. These stations are located at 521 Jones Street (Station 14) and 1240 Shell Avenue (Station 12, outside city limits) in Martinez. Three personnel per station (captain, engineer, fire fighter) operate a total of four vehicles, including: One Type I fire engine (the "classic" fire engine, with a 1,500-gallon per minute (gpm) pump, 400-gallon water tank, and a 20-foot ladder) Two Type III vehicles (a small four-wheel drive engine for wild land fires, with a 500-gpm pump and a 500 gallon water tank, 24-foot ladder) One 75-foot"Quint' vehicle (a mid-sized four-wheeled drive engine with a 2,000-gpm pump, 500 gallon water tank and an aerial ladder). Approximately 80% of the calls received by Stations 12 and 14 are medical emergencies, 10- 13% building, vegetation, and vehicle fires, and 7% miscellaneous calls (gas meter/line, flooding). Page 37 Average response time from Stations 12 and 14 to downtown Martinez is less than four minutes. aAll of the new construction would be Type II, Fire Resistive, fully sprinklered buildings. The CCCFPD has indicated that the increase in demand for services associated with construction of the project would not result in the need for additional staffing of firefighters. Current facilities, equipment, staffing and emergency vehicle response times are sufficient to accommodate the anticipated increase in annual calls associated with the Proposed Project. However, the Project Sponsors will be conditioned to submit a preliminary set of drawings to the Fire District for review and approval for issues relating to sprinklers and construction. Impact XIII.a.2.: Less Than Significant. The project site is located within the City of Martinez where the City's Police Department provides police protection, including street patrol, traffic control, and parking enforcement. The MPD operates one station, located at 525 Henrietta Street in Martinez with a staff of 66 sworn officers. The Martinez Police Patrol Division responds to calls for service, including 911 calls. Patrol officers work a 3/12 shift plan in a variety of patrol assignments, including a K-9, traffic motorcycle, bicycle patrol and off-road motorcycle. Martinez police cars are equipped with mobile data computers (MDTs) linked to the Police Departments Computer Aided Dispatch System (CAD). The Patrol Division Consists of one lieutenant (division commander), four sergeants (watch commanders), four corporals, and eighteen officers. Response times within the City limits depend upon the priority of the call, with emergency calls being more urgent then non-emergency calls. As of July 2003, actual responses times to emergency calls averaged four minutes. The average actual response time for non-emergency calls as of July 2003 was 10 minutes. According to Police Chief Dave Cutaia, operation of the Proposed Project would not require an increased demand for police staffing or equipment, nor would it affect police response time to the site. Mitigation Measure XIII.a.2.: None Required. Impact XIII.a.3.: No Impact. Construction of the Proposed Project would not result in the need for new school facilities. Mitigation Measure XIII.a.3.: None Required. Impact XIII.a.4.: No Impact.

Sources 1, 2, 11, 12 Preface Existing Traffic Conditions Streets that provide access around the Project Site include Ward Street, Green Street, Las Juntas Street, and Court Street (see Figure 9). Traffic Volumes The Downtown Martinez Draft Specific Plan EIR provides analyses of the following seven intersections within and peripheral to downtown Martinez: • Marina Vista Avenue/Court Street • Marina Vista Avenue/Ferry Street • Marina Vista Avenue/Berrellessa Street • Escobar Street/Alhambra Avenue • Ward Street/Court Street Page 40 • Alhambra Way/Alhambra Avenue • Pacheco Boulevard/Shell Avenue These intersections were counted and the AM and PM peak commute hour volumes were identified in the Specific Plan DEIR. Traffic Flow Conditions The Specific Plan DEIR calculated the AM and PM peak commute hour Level of Service (LOS)for the seven study intersections. These calculations indicate that all of the intersections are operating at LOS"C" or better. This would be considered very satisfactory operations for urban peak commute hour flows. Traffic Operations Effects As indicated in the trip generation discussion, the net effect of relocating Assessor's office staff and the proposed District Attorney's office would be a reduction in County staff commuting in/out of downtown Martinez. As outlined in the discussion of existing conditions, the Specific Plan DEIR determined that key intersections within and peripheral to downtown Martinez are all operating at LOS"C"or better. The proposed District Attorney's office project would result in no measurable 1 change in these intersection operating conditions. ' Impact XV.a.: Less Than Significant Impact. As noted above, the project would involve the relocation of 34 District Attorneystaff into downtown Martinez. However, the project site was P 1 vacated within the last year with 50 Assessor's office staff being relocated outside the downtown. As a result,the 34 new downtown District Attorney staff would be more than offset by the 50 relocated Assessor's office staff. There would be no increase in peak commute hour trips in/out of the downtown. ,; Mitigation Measure XV.a.: None Required. Impact XV.c. and d.: No Impact. The project will have no effect on air traffic or on any existing design features (i.e., curves, intersection), or other use as no new roads will be constructed. Mitigation Measure XV.c. and d.: None Required. Impact XV.e. No Impact. The project will have emergency access points at all accesses. Mitigation Measure XV.e.: None Required. Existinq Parking Conditions Overall Downtown Parking Conditions The overall downtown Martinez parking conditions were analyzed in the City's Specific Plan DEIR. Based on that document, there are a total of 3,100 public and private parking spaces in the downtown area. These include 1,600 spaces in public and private parking lots and 1,500 public on-street(curb)spaces. The parking facilities were surveyed as a part of the Specific Plan DEIR, and the maximum overall parking occupancy was 63%. The DEIR found that the parking demand is relatively consistent throughout the day. Page 41 Parking Conditions in Project Vicinity As a part of the analysis for the proposed District Attorney Office project, parking conditions were surveyed in the immediate vicinity of the project site. The project block (bounded by Ward, Green, Las Juntas and Court streets) contains a 20 space parking lot, including 16 spaces "reserved for County employees," two spaces "reserved for Library staff," one space "reserved for the Juvenile Hall Auxiliary" and one handicapped space. There are also 22 curb spaces on the Ward, Las Juntas and Green street frontages of the block (there are no curb spaces on the Court Street frontage). Consideration has also been given to available parking within a 3-4 block (about 1,000 feet) radius. The 1,000-foot radius represents a reasonable walking distance for long-term employee parking. Within this area there are numerous public parking lots, but the Consultant's parking surveys and observations indicate that these facilities are over 90% occupied (including the public and employee lots off of Pine Street, Marina Vista and Escobar Street). Because a 90% occupancy would be considered capacity (a 10% vacancy is needed to allow for normal parking turnover and to reduce the time needed for motorists to find a space), these public lots would not be considered suitable for accommodating any excess demand generated by the proposed project. Based on extensive surveys conducted as a part of the Draft Downtown Specific Plan , the 1,000 foot radius from the project site encompasses a total of 441 unmetered and 10-hour metered spaces. There are also a total of about 470 2-hour and 4-hour metered spaces, but these spaces would be less desirable for the all-day parking needs of employees. The occupancy of the long term (10-hour metered and unmetered) curb spaces has also been based on surveys conducted as a part of the Draft Downtown Specific Plan . These surveys were conducted on a Monday, the highest parking demand day due to the greater presence of jurors at the County court buildings. Mid-morning surveys (the peak parking occupancy was observed at 10:00 AM) yielded an occupancy factor of 59%' (262 spaces occupied out of a total supply of 441 spaces). However, it is noted that the availability of suitable curb spaces is substantially lower east of Court Street. In this area, only 102 unmetered and 10-hour metered spaces are available and their occupancy is 77% (79 spaces occupied out of a 102-space supply). Consideration has also been given to project parking demand in available parking spaces that would not impact adjacent residential uses. The two sets of parking surveys were compared. One survey was conducted by Fehr& Peers, on a Monday, for the Draft Downtown Specific Plan . The second survey was conducted by George Nickelson (that data, for areas east of Court Street that were not surveyed by Fehr& Peers, reflect surveys on Tuesday-Wednesday June 28-29, 2005. The comparison of the block by block parking survey data with the residential land uses as identified in the Draft Downtown Specific Plan shows that there are some block faces that have 10-hour metered spaces adjacent to residential land uses. Based on the review of the available data the 10-hour metered spaces within 1;000 feet of the Proposed Project site, and not fronted by residential land uses, would be as follows: • west of Court Street; 90 spaces/62 occupied • east of Court Street; 89 spaces/77 occupied. The analysis did not include counts of parking spaces east of Court Street (since many of the spaces are east of the jail and are likely fully occupied by jurors and other employees with the Courts). It does appear that there would be sufficient 10-hour metered spaces west of Court Street (28 available of the 90 non-residential spaces) to accommodate the project's 16 space demand. The project block is currently vacant, but was recently occupied by the County Assessor 0 and the County Juvenile Hall Auxiliary. Of the original 150 County Assessor staff, 100 staff moved Represents long term condition: 10 hour meter and unmetered. Page 42 outside the downtown in 2001 and the remaining 50 staff moved in 2004. The Juvenile Hall Auxiliary facility closed in June 2005. The Contra Costa County District Attorney's office has a total of 150 staff with 116 staff now located in downtown Martinez and 34 staff located at Douglas Drive (near the State Route 4/Pine Street interchange) outside of the downtown area. The specific District Attorney employee locations are as follows: • 73 staff in the courthouse (downtown Martinez) • 20 staff at 627 Ferry Street(downtown Martinez) • 23 staff at 1111 Ward Street(downtown Martinez) • 34 staff at Douglas Drive It is also noted that of the 34 staff located at Douglas Drive, 27 persons are involved in daily activities which require them to make trips to/from the Superior Court in downtown Martinez. These .f trips result in added downtown parking demand. Impact XV.f.: Parking. Less Than Significant With Mitigation. Net Increase in Parking Demand $; f The parking demand generated by the proposed District Attorney's office project would reflect the net new demand associated with staff being relocated into the downtown. As noted in the project description, 116 of the 150 staff are already located in the downtown area, and as such, are generating parking demand in the downtown. The 34 employees that would permanently relocate into the downtown would generate additional parking demand.

Douglas 34 n/a 7 ( support 27 Employees are in downtown 4 staff not days/wk (with parking needs of 4 transferring to hours to all day) downtown Total Demand 150 { Page 43 Proiect Effects on Overall Downtown Parking Twenty-seven of the 34 relocated employees are involved in activities that frequently require them to travel to and park within the downtown area. If most of these activities coincide with the peak mid-day parking demand period, the relocated District Attorney employees would only generate a net new demand for 10-15 spaces relative to overall downtown parking. Within the context of 3,100 total downtown parking spaces, an increased demand for 10-15 spaces would represent less than 0.5% of the total parking supply. A change of this magnitude would not be measurable within typical daily fluctuations in parking demand. Parking Effects in the Proiect Vicinity Because the proposed project would involve consolidation of all District Attorney staff at a single site, there could be localized parking impacts. As discussed in the existing parking conditions, there are 441 unmetered and 10-hour metered curb parking spaces available within a 3-4 block radius of the proposed project site. These spaces are currently 59% occupied (based on mid-morning surveys). With the elimination of the site's existing parking lot, the 19 vehicles parked in that lot would presumably divert to other public spaces in the immediate area. As a result, curb parking in the immediate area would have occupancy levels of 64%. The added parking demand generated by the new District Attorney's office would reflect several factors. First, the 34 employees transferred into the downtown would add to the local demand to the extent that these employees would park within the 1,000-foot project site radius outlined in Figure 9. As indicated above, a portion of these employees currently travel to/from downtown Martinez and some of these employees are likely already parking in the vicinity of the proposed project site. Similarly, a substantial portion of the 116 current District Attorney downtown employees are likely parking within the 1,000-foot radius surrounding the project site. The consolidation of employees will allow for an increased opportunity for employees to carpool. If it is assumed that about 1/4 of the 150 District Attorney employees would shift their parking location to the immediate area surrounding the site, the additional 16 space demand would likely seek available curb parking within the 34 block radius. Assuming that there is a need of 150 spaces for the project; Table XV- 2 identifies an additional 16 space demand to on street parking: Page 44 +t f R TABLE XV-2 SUMMARY OF PARKING IMPACT 4 SPACES NOTES 150 Total Spaces Needed -15 Existing Reserved spaces for DA - 7 Bicycle parking (see Mitigation Measure XV.f.4 - 3 Car/Van pool (see Mitigation Measure XV.f.3 -23 1111 Ward Street -73 Courts -27 Douglas Drive +20 Existing S aces lost -5 Spaces proposed at parking lot at Green/Las Juntas Streets (see Mitigation Measure XV.f.5 -24 Spaces proposed at parking lot at Mellus/Court Streets (see Mitigation Measure XV.f.2 -7 Vehicles added to on street parkin With the proposed mitigation, parking would stay at an approximately 67% curb parking occupancy condition in the vicinity of the project site (see Appendix A). Parking demand will fluctuate somewhat during the day. On occasion, parking demand will be higher. There are sufficient 10-hour metered spaces west of Court Street (28 available of the 90 non-residential spaces) to accommodate the project's demand. The following measures will reduce the impacts of the District Attorney employees on downtown parking to levels of less than significant. Mitigation Measure XV.f.a.: The District Attorney's Office shall be required to implement the following measures to limit the impact on parking in the project area. The measures would mitigate the impact to a less than significant level. 1. Work with the City of Martinez to establish a Residential Parking Permit Zone (if needed) for the curb parking in the neighborhood adjacent to the DA building and use a 2-hour limit for users of curb spaces without permits in order to prevent DA employees from impacting neighborhood parking. The Residential Permit Parking Zone should be established prior to occupancy of the project. 2. The Sheriff's lot off Mellus Street, west of Court Street will be re-striped and expanded to an adjacent parcel, resulting in 24 additional spaces. Prior to occupancy of the project, this parking lot shall be re-striped, expanded and signed by the County so that it provides the 24 additional parking spaces for County employees. Parking in this lot will be available to employees at the District Page 45 f Attorney's Office and at other County offices in close proximity. The management of this lot shall be undertaken by staff at the District Attorney's Office in consultation with the Capital Facilities Division of the County Administrator's Office. 3. The District Attorney's office staff shall actively promote the use of alternative transportation for their employees and coordinate these efforts with Enterprise Rideshare and staff at Community Development Department. Transit schedules and information shall be provided to employees and the public. This information is to be made available at a convenient location within the building accessible to all. 4. Prior to occupancy of the project, a bicycle rack that will accommodate a minimum of three bicycles and four bicycle lockers shall be installed at the site for the use of employees and the public (consistent with the City of Martinez Draft Specific Plan requirements). Employee shower and locker facilities shall be installed within the building, the installation of these facilities would satisfy a long sought after demand by employees in the downtown area for such a facility that would make it more practical for employees to commute by bicycle. 5. Prior to occupancy of the project, the parking lot at Green and Las Juntas shall be re-striped and signed by the County so that it provides stacked parking for County employees. This parking lot could provide up to 5 new spaces for employees (currently the lot has 16 spaces for the employees). Parking in this lot will be available to employees at the District Attorney's Office and at other County offices in close proximity. The management of this lot shall be undertaken by staff at the District Attorney's Office in consultation with the Capital Facilities Division of the County Administrator's Office. t� Responsibility and Monitoring: The District Attorney's Office shall be responsible for implementing the measures as described. The Community Development Department shall review and approve the development plans to ensure that the parking measures are in place prior to approving the Final Map. Impact XV.q. No Impact. Contra Costa County Transit Authority (CCCTA) operates a majority of the bus service in the downtown Martinez area. WestCat also provides service to downtown with a line connecting Martinez to western Contra Costa County. This service includes seven bus routes that are listed below: • 108 (Martinez to Bart/ North Concord) • 116 (Alhambra Avenue /Gregory Lane) • 118 (Morello/Amtrak) • 128 (Downtown Shuttle) • 308 (Concord Bart to Martinez Amtrak) • 30Z ( express service from downtown Martinez to Western Contra Cost County by West Cat) • 200 (Martinez to Pittsburg Antioch) Bus stops are provided near the Court House, the Amtrak Station (which functions as a transfer station) and on nearby arterials. As most of the employees are already located downtown, no impacts to the bus service are anticipated. Mitigation Measure XI.g.

Although the Proposed Project is a larger building, the new structure will be fitted with water saving devices that will result in an insignificant new demand on water(and therefore wastewater) supply. Impact XVI.a.: No Impact. The project's wastewater needs will be served by the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District; see discussion for item XVI.e., below. Mitigation Measure XVI.a.: None Required. Page 47 Impact XVI.b.: No Impact. The site is currently served by public water and wastewater providers with very little addition demand required. All improvements to service will occur onsite. This is not a significant impact. Mitigation Measure XVI.b.: None Required. Impact XVI.c.: See discussion in Section Vlll.e. Mitigation Measure XVI.c.: None Required. Impact XVI.d.: Less Than Significant. The City of Martinez serves as the local water retailer to the study area and to most of the City. Raw water from the Sacramento Delta at Old River near Discovery Bay and Rock Slough near Oakley is provided to the City from Contra Costa County Water District. Los Vaqueros Reservoir provides storage and assures year-around, high quality water supply until the water is delivered via the Contra Costa Canal to the Martinez Reservoir. The Martinez Water Treatment Plant treats raw water from the Martinez Reservoir for potable uses. Zone 1 (up to 150 foot elevation) encompasses the downtown area. Zone 2 includes areas up to 240 foot elevation. Zone 3 includes areas up to 450 foot elevation. Zone 4 includes areas up to 650 foot elevation. The City's existing transmission and distribution pipelines include approximately 100 miles of pipeline of various sizes. Throughout Martinez, pipelines vary from 4" to 18" in size. Feeder lines in the plan area average 6" in size. City transmission lines are typically 10-18" in size. Central Contra Costa Sanitary District plans to extend their recycled water distribution system into the Martinez area in the future. Large (� irrigation sites are currently being identified as potential customers. �./ Mitigation Measure XVI.d.: None Required. Impact XVI.e.: Less Than Significant. The site is within the sphere of influence and service area of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD). Wastewater is collected and sent to the CCCSD's wastewater treatment plant, located northeast of the Interstate 680/State Route 4 Interchange in unincorporated Martinez. The CCCSD treatment plant's current average dry flow effluent discharge capacity is 53.8 million gallons per day. In 2002, CCCSD discharged 38.7 million gallons per day (mgd) of average dry weather flow effluent into Suisun Bay. CCCSD is projecting that the capacity will be adequate to handle new development within its service area until the year 2035. The current volume of wastewater being treated by CCCSD is 40.0 million gallons per day. Mitigation Measure XVI.e.: None Required. Impact XVI.f. andg.: Less Than Significant. Solid waste generated within the City of Martinez is collected by a private company (Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal), taken to its Contra Costa Transfer and Recover Station near Martinez, and transported to the Keller Canyon Landfill facility, a Class II facility. The proposed expansion project would result in a small increase in the amount of solid waste generated within the City of Martinez. However, the Proposed Project would not violate standards for solid waste as the Keller Canyon facility has 1 adequate future capacity. Based on the availability of sufficient landfill capacity, the increase in solid waste would be a less than significant impact. Page 48 x f z h` F. h The Proposed Project would generate short-term construction and demolition debris during construction. Contra Costa County would require as a condition of project approval, the t construction contractor to file a Debris Recovery Plan prior to start of construction. Such a plan i would discuss the disposal of construction and demolition debris. Prior to occupancy, the !� construction contractor would be required to file a Debris Recovery Report documenting the final disposal of the construction and demolition debris. to Mitigation Measure XVI.f. and g.: None Required.

For ease of reading the entire section has been reprinted with corrections. Parking Conditions in Project Vicinity As a part of the analysis fay the proposed District Attorney Office project, parking conditions were surveyed in the immediate vicinity of the project site. The project block (bounded by Ward, Green, Las Juntas and Court streets) contains a 20 space parking lot, including 16 spaces "reserved for County employees," two spaces "reserved for Library staff," one space "reserved for the Juvenile Hall Auxiliary" and one handicapped space. There are also 22 curb spaces on the Ward, Las Juntas and Green street frontages of the block (there are no curb spaces on the Court Street frontage). Consideration has also been given to available parking within a, 3-4 block (about 1,000 feet) radius. The 1,000-foot radius represents a reasonable walking distance for long-term employee parking. Within this area there are numerous public parking lots, but the Consultant's parking surveys and observations indicate that these facilities are over 90% occupied (including the public and employee lots off of Pine Street, Marina Vista and Escobar Street). Because a 90% occupancy would be considered capacity (a 10% vacancy is needed to allow for normal parking turnover and to reduce the time needed for motorists to find a space), these public lots would not be considered suitable for accommodating any excess demand generated by the proposed project. Based on extensive surveys conducted as a part of the Downtown Specific Plan, the 1,000 foot radius from the project site encompasses a total of 441 unmetered and 10-hour metered spaces. There are also a total of about 470 2-hour and 4-hour metered spaces, but these spaces would be less desirable for the all-day parking needs of employees. The occupancy of the long term (10-hour metered and unmetered) curb spaces has also been based on surveys conducted as a part of the Downtown Specific Plan. These surveys were conducted on a Monday, the highest parking demand day due to the greater presence of jurors at the County court buildings. Mid-morning surveys (the peak parkinY occupancy was observed at 10:00 AM) yielded an occupancy factor of 59% (262 spaces occupied out of a total supply of 441 spaces). However, it is noted that the availability of suitable curb spaces is substantially lower east of Court Street. In this area, only 102 unmetered and 10- hour metered spaces are available and their occupancy is 77% (79 spaces occupied out of a 102-space supply). Q ' Represents long term condition: 10 hour meter and unmetered. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters i. Consideration has also been given to project parking demand in available F parking spaces that would not impact adjacent residential uses. The two sets of parking surveys were compared. One survey was conducted by Fehr & Peers, on a Monday, for the Downtown Specific Plan. The second survey was conducted by George Nickelson (that data, for areas east of Court Street that were not, surveyed by Fehr & Peers, reflect surveys on Tuesday-Wednesday June 28-29, 2005. The comparison of the block by block parking survey data With the residential land uses as identified in the Downtown Specific Plan shows that there are some block faces that have 10-hour metered spaces adjacent to residential land uses. Based on the review of the available data the 10-hour metered spaces within 1,000 feet of the Proposed Project site, and not fronted by residential land uses, would be as follows: . .west of Court Street; 90 spaces/62 occupied • east of Court Street; 89 spaces/77 occupied. The analysis did ,not include counts of parking spaces east of Court Street (since many of the spaces are east of the jail and are likely fully occupied by jurors and other employees with the Courts). It does appear that there would be sufficient 10- hour metered spaces to accommodate the project's demand although the localized area,west of Court Street could reach saturation. The project.block is currently vacant, but was recently occupied by the County Assessor and the County Juvenile Hall Auxiliary. Of the original 150 County Assessor staff, 100 staff moved outside the'downtown in 2001 and the remaining 50 staff moved in 2004. The Juvenile Hall Auxiliary facility closed in June 2005. The Contra Costa County District Attorney's office has a total of 150 staff with 116 staff now located in downtown Martinez and 34 staff located at Douglas Drive (near the State Route 4/Pine Street interchange) outside of the downtown area. The specific District Attorney employee locations are as follows: • 73 staff in the courthouse (downtown Martinez) • 20 staff at 627 Ferry Street (downtown Martinez) • 23 staff at 1111 Ward Street (downtown Martinez) • 34 staff at Douglas Drive It,is also noted that of the 34 staff located at Douglas Drive,•27 persons are involved in daily activities which require them to make trips to/from the Superior Court in downtown Martinez. These trips result in added downtown parking demand. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters TABLE.

Parking demand will fluctuate somewhat during the day. On occasion, parking demand will be higher. The following measures will reduce the impacts of the District Attorney employees on downtown parking to levels of less than significant. Mitigation Measure XV.f.a.: The District Attorney's Office shall be required to implement the following measures to limit the impact on parking in the project area. The measures would mitigate the impact to a less than significant level. 1. The City of Martinez should establish a Residential Parking Permit Zone for the curb parking in the neighborhood adjacent to the DA building and use a 2-hour limit for users of curb spaces without permits in order to prevent DA employees from impacting neighborhood parking. The Residential Permit Parking Zone should be established prior to occupancy of the project. 2. The Sheriffs lot off Mellus Street, west of Court Street will be re- striped and expanded to an adjacent parcel, resulting in 24 additional spaces. Prior to occupancy of the project, this parking lot shall be re-striped, expanded and signed by the County so that it O provides the 24 additional parking spaces for County employees. Parking in this lot will be available to employees at the District. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters f� d f ti e. 4 4d ND } Impact XV.f.: Parking. Less Than Significant With Mitigation. "n ' Net Increase in Parking Demand q.. Y The parking demand generated by the proposed District Attorney's office project would reflect the net new demand associated with staff being relocated into the downtown. As noted in the project description, 116 of the 150 staff are already located in the downtown area, and as such, are generating parking demand in the downtown. The 34 employees that would permanently relocate into the downtown j would generate additional parking demand.

If most of these activities coincide with the peak mid-day parking demand period, the relocated District Attorney employees would only generate a net new demand for 31 spaces relative to overall downtown parking. Within the 1000 feet radius and increased demand for 31 spaces would represent less than significant impact on the total parking supply. A change of this magnitude would not be measurable within typical daily fluctuations in parking demand. Parking Effects in the Proiect Vicinity Because the proposed project would involve consolidation of all District Attorney staff at a single site, there could be localized parking impacts. As discussed in the existing parking conditions, there are 441 unmetered and 10-hour metered curb parking spaces available within a 34 block radius of the proposed project site. These spaces are currently 59% occupied (based on mid-moming surveys). With the elimination of the site's existing parking lot, the 20 vehicles parked in that lot would presumably divert to other public spaces in the immediate area. As a result, curb parking in the immediate area would have occupancy levels of 67%. O The added parking demand generated by the new District Attorney's office would reflect several factors. First, the 34 employees transferred into the downtown would add to the local demand to the extent that these employees would park within the 1,000-foot project site radius outlined in Figure 9. As indicated above, a portion of these employees currently travel to/from downtown Martinez and some of these employees are likely already parking in the vicinity of the proposed project site. Similarly, a substantial portion of the 116 current District Attorney downtown employees are likely parking within the 1,000-foot radius surrounding the project site. The consolidation of employees will allow for an increased opportunity for employees to carpool. If it is assumed that a portion of the DA's employees shift their parking to the immediate area around the site, the localized areas may reach saturation. Assuming that there is a need of 150 spaces for the project; Table XV - 2 identifies an additional 31 space demand for parking: O D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters Exhibit C O Response to Comments Document O O ',, n` ;,;.;,, ��" 7. � ;. _; ,; ,, ��� t �, 7�:.=:.. ry i y _' Y 1. ` .

For ease of reading the entire section has been reprinted with corrections. Parking Conditions in Project Vicinity As a part of the analysis for the proposed District Attorney Office project, parking conditions were surveyed in the immediate vicinity of the project site. The project block (bounded by Ward, Green, Las Juntas and Court streets) contains a 20 space parking lot, including 16 spaces "reserved for County employees," two spaces "reserved for Library staff," one space "reserved for the Juvenile Hall Auxiliary" and one handicapped space. There are also 22 curb spaces on the Ward, Las Juntas and Green street frontages of the block (there are no curb spaces on the Court Street frontage). Consideration has also been given to available parking within a 3-4 block (about 1,000 feet) radius. The 1,000-foot radius represents.a reasonable walking distance for long-term employee parking. Within this area,there are numerous public parking lots, but the Consultant's parking surveys and observations indicate that these O facilities are over 90% occupied (including the public and employee lots off of Pine Street, Marina Vista and Escobar Street). Because a 901/o occupancy would be considered capacity (a 10% vacancy is needed to allow for normal parking turnover and to reduce the time needed for motorists to find a space), these public lots would not be considered suitable for accommodating any excess demand generated by the proposed project. Based onextensive surveys conducted as a part of the Downtown Specific Plan, the 1,000 foot radius from the project site encompasses a total of 441 unmetered and 10-hour metered spaces. There are also a total of about 470 2-hour and 4-hour metered spaces, but these spaces would be less desirable for the all-day parking needs.of employees. The occupancy of the long term (10-hour metered and unmetered) curb spaces has also been based on surveys conducted as a part of the Downtown Specific Plan. These surveys were conducted on a Monday, the highest parking demand day due to the greater presence of jurors at the County court buildings. Mid-morning surveys (the peak parking occupancy was observed at 10:00 AM) yielded an occupancy factor of 59% (262 spaces occupied out of a total supply of 441 spaces). However, it is noted that the availability of suitable curb spaces is substantially lower east of Court Street. In this area, only 102 unmetered and 10- hour metered spaces are available and their occupancy is 77% (79 spaces occupied out of a 102-space supply). O ' Represents long term condition: 10 hour meter and unmetered. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 91 Consideration has also been given to project parking demand in available parking spaces that would not impact adjacent residential uses. The two sets of . parking surveys were compared. One survey was conducted by Fehr & Peers, on a Monday, for the Downtown Specific Plan. The second survey was conducted by George Nickelson (that data, for areas east of Court Street that were not..surveyed by Fehr & Peers, reflect surveys on Tuesday-Wednesday June 28-29, 2005. The comparison of the block by block parking survey data with the residential land uses as identified in the Downtown Specific Plan shows that there are some block faces that have 10-hour metered spaces adjacent to residential land uses. Based on the review of the available data the 10-hour metered spaces within 1,000 feet of the Proposed Project site, and not fronted by residential land uses, would be as follows: • west of Court Street; 90 spaces/62 occupied • east of Court Street; 89 spaces/77 occupied. The analysis did not include counts of parking spaces east of Court Street (since many of the spaces are east of the jail and are likely fully occupied by jurors and ' other employees with the Courts). It does appear that there would be sufficient 10- hour metered spacesJo accommodate the project's demand although the localized (` area west of Court Street could reach saturation. The project block is currently r vacant, but was recently occupied by the County Assessor and the County Juvenile Hall Auxiliary. Of the original 150 County Assessor staff, 100 staff moved outside the downtown in 2001 and the remaining 50 staff moved in 2004. The Juvenile Hall Auxiliary facility closed in June 2005. The Contra Costa County District Attorney's office has a total of 150 staff with 116 staff now located in downtown Martinez and 34 staff located at Douglas Drive (near the State Route 4/Pine Street interchange) outside of the downtown area. The specific District Attorney employee locations are as follows: 73,staff in the courthouse (downtown Martinez) • 20 staff at 627 Ferry Street (downtown Martinez) • 23 staff at 1111 Ward Street (downtown Martinez) • 34 staff at Douglas Drive. It°is also noted that of the 34 staff located at Douglas Drive, 27 persons are involved in' daily .activities which require them to make trips to/from the Superior Court in downtown Martinez. These trips result in added downtown parking demand. F i� D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 92 Impact XV.f.: Parking. Less Than Significant With Mitigation. QNet Increase in Parking Demand The parking demand generated by the proposed District Attorney's office project would reflect the net new demand associated with staff being relocated into the downtown. As noted in the project description, 116 of the 150 staff,are already located in the downtown area, and as such, are generating parking demand in the downtown. The 34 employees that would permanently relocate into the downtown would generate additional parking demand.

If most of these activities coincide with the peak mid-day parking demand period, the .relocated District Attorney employees would only generate a net new demand for 31 spaces relative to overall downtown parking. Within the 1000 feet radius and increased demand for 31 spaces would represent less than significant impact on the total parking supply. A change of this magnitude would not be measurable within typical daily fluctuations in parking demand. Parking Effects in the Project Vicinity Because the proposed project would involve consolidation of all District-Attorney staff at a single site, there could be localized parking impacts. As discussed in the existing parking conditions, there are 441 unmetered and 10-hour metered curb parking spaces available within a 3-4 block radius of the proposed project site. These spaces are currently 59% occupied (based on mid-moming surveys). With the elimination of the site's existing parking lot, the 20 vehicles parked in that lot Would presumably divert to other public spaces in .the immediate area. As a result, curb parking in the immediate area would have occupancy levels of 67%. ' The added parking demand generated by the new District Attorney's office would reflect several factors. First, the 34 employees transferred into the downtown • would add to the local demand to the extent that these employees would park Within the 1;000-foot*project site radius outlined in Figure 9. As indicated above, a portion ofihese employees currently travel to/from downtown Martinez and some of these employees are likely already; parking in the vicinity of the proposed project site. Similarly, a substantial portion of the 116 current District Attorney downtown employees are likely parking within the 1,000-foot radius surrounding the project site. The consolidation of employees will allow for an increased opportunity for employees to carpool. If it is assumed that a portion of the DA's employees shift their parking to the immediate area around the site, the localized areas may reach saturation. Assuming that there is a need of 150 spaces for the project; Table XV - 2 identifies an additional 31 space demand for parking: D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 94 ro..

Parking demand will fluctuate somewhat during the day. On occasion, parking demand will be higher. The following measures will Teduce the impacts of the District Attorney employees on downtown parking to levels of less than significant. Mitigation Measure XV.f.a.: The District Attorney's Office shall be required to implement the following measures to limit the impact on parking in the project area. The measures would mitigate the impact to a less than significant level. 1. The City of Martinez should establish a Residential Parking Permit Zone for the curb parking in the neighborhood adjacent to the DA building and use a 2-hour limit for users of curb spaces without permits in order to prevent DA employees from. impacting neighborhood parking. The Residential Permit Parking Zone should be established prior to occupancy of the project. 2. The Sheriffs lot off Mellus Street, west of Court Street will be re- striped and expanded to an adjacent parcel, resulting in 24 additional spaces. Prior to occupancy of the project, this parking lot shall be re-striped, expanded and signed by the County so that it provides the 24 additional parking spaces for County employees. OParking in this lot will be available to employees at the District. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 95 VcP � �Y '� r a e MASTER RESPONSES D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 96 ,5 MASTER RESPONSES Master Response #1: Visual'& Aesthetics The Assessors Building is a patchwork of structures, constructed over many years. Its history, as outlined in the Phase I Environmental Assessment, available for review at the Contra Costa County Community Development Department (CDD) offices and summarized in the Initial Study indicates the Assessor's Building had undergone numerous changes. The Sanborn Map Collection identifies the following changes to the site: 1897 An Episcopal church is depicted on the southern portion of the subject property. A carriage house and workshop is depicted on the northwest portion of the subject property. A gasoline and gasoline machinery storage room is depicted inside the carriage building. A water tank is depicted adjacent to the storage room. A residential dwelling is depicted adjacent to Las Juntas Street west of the church. Residential dwellings are depicted to the north, south, east, and west of the subject property. 1908 A small building to the south of the onsite carriage building is depicted as Hose Company No. 2. No other significant changes were noted on the subject or adjacent properties. 1920 The carriage house and associated buildings are depicted as vacant. No other significant changes were noted on the subject or adjacent properties. 1949 No other significant changes were noted on the subject or adjacent properties. 1958 The residential dwelling located on the western portion of the subject property is still present. The remained portion of the subject property has been redeveloped. A California Highway Patrol office and unused swimming pool hall are depicted at the corner of Ward and Court Streets as currently developed (Veterans Hall). An auto supply and machine shop buildings are depicted adjacent to Las Juntas Street, and eight other buildings are depicted on the southern portion of the subject property as currently developed (County Assessor's building). The general subject property layout appears as currently developed. The Post Office is depicted to the east of the subject property beyond Court Street. The library and additional offices are depicted to the northwest beyond Ward Street. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 97 -111, 1961 No significant changes were noted on the subject property or adjoining properties. • A carriage house was present from at least 1897 to 1949. The carriage house is depicted as vacant on the 1920 and 1949 Sanborn maps. A gasoline storage and machine shop are depicted inside the carriage house. • By at least 1958, the subject property had been cleared of the former buildings except for the residential buildings on the corner of Las Juntas and Ward Streets. The general building layout as depicted in the 1958 and 1961 Sanborn maps is depicted as currently developed. An auto supply shop and machine shop are depicted in the building currently occupied by the County Assessors office. The contention is that a new building that does not mimic or replicate the design theme of the era is "hopelessly incompatible" (comment letter G). Further, commenters' desires are that new buildings be of similar scale employing similar building materials, facades, architectural detail and colors and finish materials. However, given the limited geographic area in which to house government;buildings and given government fiduciary responsibility to tax payers (providing the greatest space for the least amount of tax payer dollars expended), to reconstruct a building with the same historical style would be prohibitally expensive in this earthquake prone area. Numerous Commenters identify their dislike of the proposed buildings architecture and reference the City of Martinez's Draft Downtown Specific Plan (MDSP) & Historic Overlying District as substantial evidence. While the project is within the City of Martinez, it is located on County Land and therefore is only required to be consistent with County regulations. Furthermore;-the Martinez Downtown Specific Plan (and its proposed Historical District) is a draft document and to evaluate the Proposed Project against a Draft Plan would be speculative. In'a dynamic urban environment new construction will result in buildings with modern characteristics. Some Federal guidance has promoted that when designing new buildings it is not required that they appear to be an old building, but that the new structure is respectful of the nearby historic buildings. The Proposed Project will be set back from Ward Street (the viewshed from the Courthouse which is on the National Register of Historic.Places), the project will preserve existing trees and add additional trees along Ward Street (see Figure 5a and 5b of the Initial Study). The trees will "soften" the view from the Courthouse, The District Attorney Building architects have, in response to public input, modified the fagade facing Court Street, and provided details that are reminiscent of the architectural detail identified by the public as visually (and • D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 98 t historically) important. These changes to the architecture are shown in / 1 Attachment#3 (of this Responses to Comments Document). J Master Response #2: Historical Resources Study The NWIC recommended that an archaeological historian review the Assessor's. building (as it is over 45 years of age) as well as evaluate the impacts from the project to the viewshed of buildings listed on, or eligible for, listing on the Native Register of Historic Places. The Office of Historic Preservation has determined that all buildings regardless of their setting or condition may have historical significance if they are over 45 years of age. CEQA section 15064.5(a)(3)(A)-(D) identifies the four criteria for determining a sites historical significance: (A) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage; (8) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past, (C) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, orpossesses high artistic values; or (D) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. None of the above criteria can be applied, or apply, to the Assessor's Building. O Given the buildings past (machinery shop, residence) the building is not associated with events that made a significant contribution to California's history; no important persons who are associated with the past were identified as having lived on the site; the building does not distinguish characteristics of a type, period, region, or construction nor was designed by important creative persons nor artistic values as it is a conglomeration of eight buildings that have been cobbled together over the years (see Initial Study Figures 6a and 7a and the photo of the existing structures in Attachment#3)). The Revised project plans will replicate the Art Deco detail located above the windows. Therefore, the Lead Agency determined, (1) based upon the disrepair of the existing structure, and (2) due to its having been remodeled numerous times, the Assessors Building was lacking in historical significance. The building's historical use is summarized in the Initial Study on pp. 20 & 26. The Veterans Building was formerly a California Highway Patrol Office, the former Assessors Building was an auto supply store, a machine shop, a carriage house and"gasoline storage shop. A swimming pool was located in the area used by the courts as a. hearing room. Antedotal information exists as to prior uses, however due to the inability to confirm its veracity it has not been presented in the initial Study. The Lead Agency does not believe the Assessor's Building rises to the level of having 0 historical significance. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 99 The Lead Agency has the responsibility to decide whether to address the possibility that the proposed new construction would affect (e.g., the viewshed of) buildings already listed on the National Register and California Register. Over the past several years, numerous buildings have been constructed by the County (see Initial Study p.11) and these have all had varied architectural styles. These buildings have also been-within the viewshed of the National Federal/California Register buildings. The-Initial Study acknowledges that the views'will be impacted (p. 12, 15t paragraph) and concludes that "the site appears to lend itself to the proposed development. The parking lot will be eliminated and replaced by a plaza, a planting bed and trees. The proposed development is in scale with the newer adjacent developments. The building height is "stepped" back from Ward Street with a canopy (see Figure 8). Recessed areas along the upper floors also . provide some relief. The Court Street side of the building is designed to. X compliment the Post Office.building. I This change is seen as beneficial by some and negative by others. However, based upon historical County policy(past practice) and General Plan considerations this was considered to be a less than significant impact. Master Response #3: Disagreement Among Experts and Public r Controversy Expert Opinion 4' Numerous commentors cite public controversy and offer opinion that the proposed District Attorney Building is either aesthetically incompatible with the° area or that it will degrade the visual character of; or quality of, the site. The commenters are disagreeing on how to characterize facts — i.e., the Lead Agency's determination regarding the appropriate.standard of significance for.the impact at issue (visual quality). In such instances, it is less clear whether such a dispute triggers the.duty to prepare an EIR (Citizen Action to Serve All Students v. Thornley). Expert opinions "rise only to the level,of reliability and credibility as the evidence constituting the foundation for those opinions." (Citizens' Committee to Save Our Village v. City of Clarement). Expert opinions that rely on speculation and conjecture do not-constitute a "fair,argument" any more than lay opinions would. (In an interesting note, in the above cited legal case, the City of Claremont rejected expert testimony that speculated about whether an historical resource existed at that project site). Similarly, the Lead Agency may disregard expert testimony if it lacks adequatefoundation, or if the person giving the testimony relates to a subject outside of the expert's field, or if the person giving the testimony is not shown to be an expert. (Lucas Valley Homeowners Association v. County of Marin). D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 100 wool 10011111111 [; d Public Controversy Before a Lead Agency adopts a proposed negative declaration and approves a project, the agency must consider comments received during the public review process. Previously CEQA was held to support the preparation of an EIR in marginal cases that were "tipped" by overwhelming public controversy. CEQA now provides: "The existence of public controversy over the environmental effects of a project shall not require preparation of an environmental impact report if there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the lead agency that the project may have a significant effect on the environment." Commenters have provided 7 letters on the project and a petition. The commenters have not provided substantial evidence to support the allegation that the Proposed Project will have a significant impact on the environment. Master Response #4: Parking Various commenters have raised issues with the accuracy of the parking analysis. Staff reviewed all of the parking information as well as the source for the data included. The City of Martinez questioned the assumption that no additional parking would be necessary for the 73 District Attorney's office employees that currently occupy a portion of the County Courthouse Building. Table XVI-1 of the Initial Study shows that the future use of the County Courthouse space would be used by 35 employees. However, the notes indicate that 38 Court employees would use this space. The "38" number listed in the notes is the correct data. Those 38 employees currently have leased parking space separate from their current building. When they move to the County Courthouse space vacated by the District Attorney's Office, they will retain their existing leased parking space. This leased parking space is separate from the building that they are currently occupying at 629 Main Street. It should be noted that the statement in the Initial Study that the 38 employees currently occupying 629 Main Street will not be backfilled is incorrect. That space could be leased to another user who would have parking demands. As such, an Errata has been prepared which clarifies the Initial Study including Table XV-1 and Table XV-2, increasing the need for parking by 38 spaces to reflect the parking demand created by the backfilling of 649 Main Street. As a result of including the parking need created when 629 Main Street is occupied, the project will result in an increased parking demand of 31 spaces. This number of spaces can be accommodated by the existing parking within the 1000 foot radius area. Within this area, parking occupancy will increase to 67%. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 101 ;r It should be noted that the area west of Court Street may reach saturation for parking occupancy. During the survey, this area showed 28 spaces available which could be fully utilized if the increase parking demand focuses in this area. Although this does not create an adverse environmental impact (given the vacancy rate in the 1000 foot area), there would be localized inconvenience. To alleviate this, a recommendation has been included which directs the County Administrator's office to review existing County off street parking facilities in the area, to identify any underutilized parking, and to adjust operations (including removing parking restrictions) to ensure full occupancy (in particular the County lot on Escobar which has shown a 50% vacancy in a recent staff survey). x x i, >. t Z• t A r . 3. u4 � Ff 5 'T A 2• D:Data1DA Building/Responses to letters 102 RESPONSES TO COMMENTS (LETTERS) RECEIVED D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 103 • r _ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS (LETTERS) RECEIVED Letter A: (via email) Kathleen Henderson Response to Comment Letter#A-1: While we cannot comment on the conversation between Ms. Jordan and Ms. Henderson the written communication received from the NWIC (dated January 29, 2005) specifically states the following: "Review of this information indicates that the proposed project area contains no recorded Native American or historic-period archaeological resources. This office has no archaeological studies of the project area. State and federal inventories at this office do not list historic properties within this project area. "Review of historic literature and maps gave no indication of historic- period cultural resources within the project area. As a caveat to this statement, however, the 1868 Las Juntas Rancho Plat did show ten buildings in the City of Martinez (not in identifiable locations). With this in mind, there is a moderate possibility of identifying historic-period archaeological resources. The literature and maps available in this office did not show either of the large buildings within the project area: the Veterans Building (not to be disturbed) and the building housing the County Assessor's Office (to be removed)." The above statement is summarized in Impact Va and b (p. 20) of the Initial Study. No physical impacts to the Veterans Building (listed on the Martinez Historic Resources Inventory) are proposed to occur as it will remain undisturbed. The proposed new construction is occur at the rear (south) of the Veterans Building and to the west. Response to Comment#A-2: The mitigation measure identified in the Initial Study (Mitigation Measure Va and Vb) will ensure that no prehistoric or historical archaeological deposits, etc., will be impacted during construction. See also Master Response #2. Letter B: Roy Jeans, November 16, 2005 Response to Comment Letter B#1: The commenter addresses the project and its visual appearance and not the adequacy of the Initial Study. No response is required. D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 104 Letter C: City of Martinez, November 17, 2005 Response to Comment Letter C#1: The comment does not address a deficiency in the Initial Study. However, it shall be noted that the Proposed Project while located in the City of Martinez is a Contra Costa County project located on a parcel owned by Contra Costa County. It is within the County's jurisdiction and the Lead Agency is the County's Community Development Department. Response to Comment Letter C#2-4: See Master Response #1 Response to Comment Letter C#5-9: See Master Response #2 Response to Comment Letter C#10: The Martinez City Resolution regarding potential parking impacts was considered in the preparation of the parking analysis. Response to Comment Letter C#11: The number of assessors employees relocated from downtown was provided by the County Administrators office. See Attachment#2. The question of whether 30 Assessor staff or 50 Assessor staff moved out in 2004 would not appear to be significant (however the information was provided by the Assistant Court Administrator to the District Attorney's office)., The Fehr& Peers parking surveys were conducted,in 2003 when some number of Assessor staff remained in the building. Our later surveys in the project area and our parking calculations did not adjust the demand to account for the Assessor's staff departure. t Response to Comment Letter C#12: Commenter alleges that the numbers relating to Assessors staff are incorrect however provides no supporting information or any indication as to the incorrectness. Response to Comment Letter C#13: Extensive discussions with the County Administrator's staff, the District Attorney's staff, Community Development Department, provided the data used1n the analysis. The reasoning behind the statement that there will be no backfilling of the employees from 649 Main is that these employees already have leased parking space in downtown paid for by the County. Moving from leased space to street parking is unlikely. Additionally the employees that are moving from the courthouse will not be backfilled because of severe overcrowding at the courthouse building. (See also Master Response #4) f. Response to Comment Letter C#14: Staff does not concur with the comment that suggests 7% to'be a high percentage to estimate the number of District Attorney employees who are likely to commute via a Car or Vanpool. The most recent Employee Transportation Survey of County Employees illustrated that 9% of employees use this mode of transportation. As a result 7% is a lower, more conservative, estimate. y ' Y, R D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 105 Response to Comment Letter C#15: The commenter requests that an EIR be prepared. The request will be considered by the Board of Supervisors as the decision making body, based upon the administrative record. Letter D City of Martinez, November 17, 2005 Response to Comment Letter D#1-2: The statement on page 7 is correct. The surface is a clear anodized aluminum panel which creates a shaded surface that reduces the "glare." The surface is also perforated which allows in light. "Clear" refers to the finish. The building will have a clear anodized aluminum surface that is not shinny at the outset and it "dulls" with exposure to air, which is accelerated by moist air (e.g. fog). The portion over the windows is perforated to let in light. The concept of"patina" is the dulling of the:surface over time. Response to Comment Letter D#3: The Family Law Building is 3-4 stories tall and is contemporary architecture. The Detention Facility was constructed in the late 1970's and is 4 levels tall and is contemporary architecture. The Administration Building was remodeled in 1964 and is 12 stories tall and is contemporary architecture. The Clerk-Recorders building is under construction and will be three stories tall and is contemporary architecture. The paragraph in the Initial Study was setting the concept of an area in transition; therefore discussing only those buildings that are undergoing, or have undergone, O remodeling or are being re-constructed. The previous paragraph acknowledges the different architectural styles within the area. Response to Comment Letter D#4: Commenter contends that trees will not be fast growing without providing any reasoning as to that opinion. The trees shown in the landscape plans are Robinia (locust) identified by the Sunset Western Garden Book as fairly fast growing. They are not referred to as mitigation in the Initial Study as they are included as part of the project description (the development plans referred to as Reference #11 on page 10 of the Initial Study). The effect of these trees as screening/softening is shown on the photomontage, Figure 4b. , Response to Comment Letter D#5: The District Attorney Building has been modified as shown in Attachment#3. Response to Comment Letter D#6: As discussed in Response to Comment Letter#13, And as shown on Tables XV-1 and XV-2, the reasons for why "backfilling" is not anticipated in this case is due to the age and suitability of the building for continued use as office space. The CAD's office has determined this office (1111 Ward Street) to be unfit for future use other than for storage and the Superior Court Administration (with its 38 staff) will take over the space that is vacated by the District Attorney's staff. Therefore as shown on Table XV-I, the employees that will move from the courthouse will not be backfilled (due to D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 106 overcrowdedconditions). Evidence, and calculations, are provided to support the analysis and findings (Appendix A of the Initial Study and Tables XV-1 and XV-II), as well as Attachments # 1, and 2 of this Response to Comments document.

Letter E: Martinez Historical Society, November 16, 2005 Response to Comment Letter E #1: A review of the referenced website identified two buildings, the Finance Building (625 Court Street) and the Contra Costa County Court House (725 Court Street) both part of the Courthouse block. This block of historic buildings is recognized on page 20 of the Initial Study (in the i discussion of cultural resources). Response to Comment Letter E #2: The Board of Supervisors, as the decision making body, will consider public testimony and evaluate the issue of public controversy. An Initial Study (referred to as document) addresses physical effects on the environment. (See also Master Response #3). Response to Comment Letter E#3-4: See Master Response #2. Response to Comment Letter E #5: Commenter questions increase traffic generation by the project. This issue is discussed in section XV Traffic and Circulation which identifies no net increase in peak hour trips (due to the offset to the Assessors staff moving out of downtown). Parking is also analyzed in the section on pages 41-46. (See Master Response,#4) Response to Comment Letter E #6-7: Commenter does not address inadequacies in the Initial Study.

The Initial Study concludes that the impacts are not significant. The commenter provides only opinion as the supporting evidence as to the significance of impact. Response to Comment Letter F#5: The commenter refers to mitigation measures that they believe are inadequate. However the document does not identify significant impacts related to aesthetics and therefore puts forth no mitigation. The project plans call for landscaping and recessing of the building from the street. The Project is consistent with the County's Goals and Policies relating to the preservation of architectural and historical resources: No historical buildings will be damaged. Response to Comment Letter F #6: The commenter suggests that a fair argument has been made. While opinion has been provided, neither the qualifications that make this opinion "expert" nor any substantial evidence as to potential impact is provided. Response to Comment Letter F #7: The project's potential economic and social impacts are stated by the commenter to be inconsistent with the City's Draft Downtown Specific Plan. This plan is a draft document and is not the governing O document as this is a county project. The only reference to that document was to utilize data related to parking and acoustical studies, and that data was independently verified by the Initial Study's engineers.

Response to Comment Letter F #10 — 16: See Master Response#2. Letter G: Ken Dothee, November 22, 2005 Response to Comment Letter G #1: The commenter disagrees with the Initial Study's assessment that impacts to visual quality. The commenter supports this argument with the contention of public controversy. However, the substantial evidence provided to support the public controversy is a statement that "the structure is hopelessly incompatible with its placement in an historic overlay district." This statement is not fact, nor is it supported. Furthermore, the project is not required to be consistent with City plans or policies. O D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 108 w Response to Comment Letter G #2: See response to comment G#1, above.- The bove.The project is not required to be consistent with City plans, overlay districts, etc. Additionally an Initial Study would probably not find that the noted County Administration Building is an "architectural abomination" as it is not an environmental impact associated with the project. The commenter is offering his views on visual quality, disagrees with the Initial Study; provides no substantial evidence to support his disagreement. No further response is required. Response to Comment Letter G #3: References'to the MDSP.were only utilized when the MDSP provided factual data (e.g. parking studies, acoustical data) which was verified by the preparers of the Initial Study. Response to Comment Letter G #4: The 1995-2010 Contra Costa County General Plan was the document in place when the Initial Study was undertaken. As a matter of record, the 2005-2020 Contra Costa County General Plan is not an update but merely a "reconsolidation" and no policy changes with respect to cultural resources were made.

Buildings on the site were formerly occupied by the County Assessor and one building is still used by the County Juvenile Hall Auxiliary. Also on the site is a small parking lot owned by the County. According to Assessor's executive staff, approximately 100 Assessor employees re- located in 2001, and the remaining 50 employees moved to new quarters outside Downtown Martinez within the last year. Some of those people were permitted to used the sixteen Assessor parking spaces in the adjacent County owned lot, which also includes the two County library spaces and the one space dedicated the Juvenile Hall auxiliary. To allow for the construction of the planned District Attorney headquarters, the County will move the Juvenile Hall Auxiliary offsite away from Downtown Martinez, Thus, volunteers will not need to use street parking without this lot. Also, to the extent that donors and patrons of its Thrift Store used street parking in Downtown Martinez, the demand for street parking and traffic will be decreased with the construction of the new District Attorney building on the site. The move of Assessor staff, also, more than compensates for the loss of the spaces on the small County lot: It considerably reduces demand for street parking previously in exerted by the majority of Assessor staff. a' Analysis-of District Attorney staffing of the proposed building reveals little impact on parking and traffic in'downtown Martinez. Of the 150 staff programmed for assignment to the new building, 116 (over 77%) are already working in Downtown Martinez -- 73 in the Courthouse, 20 at 627 Ferry Street and 23 on the third floor of 1111 Ward Street. Their assignment to the new building will have no impact on parking or traffic. Of the remaining 34 staff programmed into the new building, fifteen are attorneys assigned to Special Prosecutions Units currently located at 10 Douglas Drive, Suite 200. Because of the severity and nature of the crimes they prosecute, their work requires a preponderance of appearances in Superior Court, i.e., in Downtown Martinez (usually in the Bray Building) and conferences with senior management attorneys located in the Courthouse in Downtown Martinez. It is estimated that these attorneys currently make one or two trips per work day in their private vehicles to Downtown Martinez already, on 80% of their work days. The same is true for the paralegal who routinely files legal documents in person in Superior Court in Downtown Martinez. Estimating that two trips are made to Downtown Martinez by these staff 20% of the time, then there are approximately fifteen equivalents of attorneys/paralegal staff from Douglas Drive, Martinez currently using downtown Martinez parking per work day, before the new building is constructed and occupied. Seven of the remaining new building employees currently assigned to 10 Douglas Drive Martinez are investigative staff who are spend most of their time in the field investigating cases, serving O Parking/Traffic Analysis (continued) subpoenas, etc. in County owned vehicles. They, too, already make trips to downtown Martinez • (e.g. to testify in Superior Court, transport witnesses, etc.), where they share the use of three already assigned spaces with their counterparts in units currently housed in Downtown Martinez. (Please note that, since the investigators' County vehicles are home-garaged, their private vehicles never add to parking demand in downtown Martinez.) The three victim/witness assistance staff now at 10 Douglas Drive, Martinez are similar to the investigators in their current and future demand for parking. They work largely in the field and frequently come to Downtown Martinez already to accompany victims and witnesses to Superior Court, and they use County-owned vehicles. Unlike the'investigators,however,the victim/witness workers do not home-garage their vehicles. However, the District Attorney has decided to continue to require that their County vehicles be parked overnight at the County lot at 10 Douglas Drive, resulting in these staff's private vehicles continuing to be parked outside of Downtown Martinez. Subtracting out the parking-trips and load already occurring pursuant to the work requirements of these staff,currently assigned to 10 Douglas Drive, it is anticipated the occupancy of a new District Attorney building in Downtown Martinez will result in only 9 additional staff parking in the Civic Center. This is a negligible impact on parking in Downtown Martinez and more than compensated for by the move of the Assessor and the Juvenile-Hall Auxiliary out of Downtown t Martinez. t: } s g, t, 4. .x s rh� a ATTACHMENT 2 0 0 D:Data/DA Building/Responses to letters 112 I. n A4� .�Y t�< PROGRAMMED STAFFING FOR NEW DA BLDG BY CURRENT LOCATION r� FLOOR UNIT CLASS No PREV LOCATION NORn 1EQCau laQt iaisutfe2Q0 .

After reviewing'Section V., Cultural Resources, of the above document, it is apparent that the County of Contra Costa has.given the regulatory mandated review of historical resources that might potentially be affected by the above project only a cursory and rather,insufficient review. According to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) it is required that a lead agency has to make two distinct determinations: first, whether a project may impact a resource that falls within the definition of "historical resource", as that term is used in that section; and second, whether any such impact will. cause a "substantial adverse change" in the,significance of the resource (Public Resources Section.21084.1). If, after completing this.:dual inquiry, the agency concludes_;that substantial evide. nce.supports:a "fair:argument"that a project "may. cause,a:substantial advers,e change in=the significance of an,historical-resource;" the . 'agency,must.prepare,an..ElR for the;project._.Section-2018.4.1 applies toahose'."historical resources" described therein.and in:other. Public.Resources.Code.:provisions cross- referenced:in.the statute. The OHP believes that this determination has not taken place 0 r Ms. Aruna Bhat Page 2 and we would like to recap the content of the statute that provides for four basic categories of "historical resources": ; The first category - considered mandatory - under the statute- is created by the statement that "an historical resource is:a resource listed,in,.or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources." Thus, ifa resource is found in the California Register, oris determined to be eligible for inclusion in the Register, the resource must in all cases be,granted status of fan] historical resource"for purposes of section 21084.1 (CEQA Guidelines 15064.5 (a)(1)). The mandatory provision:of section 21084.1 may be triggered by mere eligibility for.listing in the Register (official designation of a buildingas historic in.a recognized register is not necessary).While the State'Historic Resources'Commission officially determines a resource's eligibility for listing in the California Register and designates'properties tclbe included in.the Cal. Register), a lead agency "generally" shall consider a resource to be"historically significant" if the resource meets the criteria-for listing on California Register, even though the Commission has not yet formally determined the resource eligible. The second category of "historical resources" is created by the statement, within section 21084.1, that historical resources included in a local register of:historical resources,.as defined by, (k) of the (Public Resources^Code section d! '15020.1... are presumed to be historically or culturally significant ...unless the , -preponderance of:the evidence;demonstrates otherwise.This-statement indicates that while a resource included on the;State Register must be treated as an historical resource, a resource included in a local register is only presumed to be an historical iresource. That presumption may be rebutted by a "preponderance of the evidence." ;According to Public Resources Code section 5020.1, subdivision (k), "local register of 'historical resources' means a list of properties officially designated or recognized as :historically significant by a local government pursuant to local ordinances or resolution." The third category of.;,historical resources,subject to,section-21.084,.1 is,created... by the statement that "historical resources ...deemed significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (g) of Section 5024.1 ... are presumed to be historically or culturally significant . .. unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates" otherwise. As with resources found in a local register, the resources within this third category also are presumed to be "historical resources" within the meaning of section 21084.1., The fourth and.final category of "historical resource" is created by the principle that, even where a resource does not qualify as "historical" under any of the preceding three tests, a local agency may nevertheless exercise its discretion to treat the resource as "historical". Thus, although agencies must treat historical resources within the first three categories as coming within the protection of the statute, on either an unqualified or a presumptive basis, the'fourth category extends, it broadens the definition to those resources that an agency chooses to consider "historical". Thus, where a local agency wants to protect only those "historical resources" specified by statute, the agency at a minimum must extend protection to the first three categories. In contrast, where an agency wants to protect more resources than those minimally protected by statute, the 0 Ms. Aruna Bhat Page 3 agency is free to define "historical resources" more broadly than the first three O categories would indicate (CEQA Guidelines 15064.5 (a) (4)). The CEQA Guidelines provide lead agencies further with criteria to applywhen exercising discretion to treat "historical" resources that do not come under the first three categories:.Any object, building; structure, site, area, place, record,or:manuscript which a lead.agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social,,.political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be historical.resource, provided the lead agency's determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. (CEQA Guidelines 15064.5 (a) (3). And also the following language does provide more criteria for what is considered an historical resource pursuant to CEQA: The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for.listin.g in:the California Register of Historical Resources, not included in a local register of'historical resources,(pursuant to section 5020:1(k) of the Public'Resources Code), or identified in an historical resources survey(meeting the criteria in section 5024.1(g) of a the Public Resources Code) does not preclude a lead agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in Public Resources Code sections 5020.10) or 5024.1.(CEQA Guidelines 15064.5 (a)(4). Thus, if-a'�lead agency evaluates a resource affected bya project and determines that the resource is not "historical"-within the meaning=of sections 21084.:1 and 15064.5 then the question of whether the project requires an EIR is governed by the normal "fair argument standard". If on the other hand, a lead agency determines that a project will Oadversely affect an "historical resource", then the agency must evaluate whether the impact will result in a "substantial adverse change in the significance" of that resource. (CEQA Guidelines 150645 (b). CEQA defines a "substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource"to mean "physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the nificance of an,historical resource would,be.,materialiv impaired. The Cultural Resource section of the above IS-MND falls short in this line of inquiry. It neither produces clear identification of the extant historical resources nor evaluates resources against the criteria of the California Register to determine their eligibility. Neither the County Assessor's Building has been evaluated nor have any of the other buildings that are to be demolished for.the above project, and neither has the impact of the above planned project on the surrounding area(s), or on the existence of a potential historic district been considered. A qualified architectural historian or historical firm should be consulted and should provide all of these determinations as was also recommended in the letter provided by the Northwest Information Center dated June 29, 2005. Incidentally, any such data should be attached to the MND for public or any other review. The OHP was supplied with this information by Council Member DeLaney and Vice Mayor Wainwright, City of Martinez. On page 20 of the County's document reference is made to the Courthouse Block, a National Historic Register property, and also it is noted that the Veteran's OMemorial Building is on the Martinez Historic Resources inventory, but the IS-MND Ms. Aruna Bhat Page 4 does not address the impact of.the planned project to those resources, in essence leaving the question of "impact' unresolved. On page 21, ,the document further continues to state that "none-of the existing buildings on the property (to be developed) [inserted for emphasis] have been formerly evaluated." And also Mitigation Measure V. a. and b.address'ONLY°mitigation measures dealing with historical archeology and archeological/cultural resources. This cursory and lacking Cultural Resource section is an inadequate analysis that does not support findings on which basis to recommend the adoption of a Mitigated NegativeDeclaration. Therefore, since;historical resources have neither been identified nor evaluated as mandated by CEQA, the determination of mitigation measures becomes a moot point at this stage. CEQA says that sometimes an initial study will reveal substantial evidence that significant.environmental effects might occur, but the project:can be modified so as to eliminate all such possible significant impacts or to reduce them to a level of insignificance. In such°instances, a Mitigated Negative'Declaration (MND) can be prepared. However, a MND in the case of the above project is the inappropriate environmental document because the historical resources have not:been identified and, i therefore, mitigation measures cannot be developed or considered; ergo:the impacts remain significant impacts to the environment and the preparation of.an EIR would - become necessary. "A project:with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment." (CEQA Guidelines 15064.5 (b)) in conclusion, we would recommend that the County incorporate the above recommendations and in a new Cultural Resources study clearly identify and evaluate all historical resources and the impacts of the project to those resources and their immediate surroundings. Once the results to this analysis are known, the County must determine based on the outcome of this inquiry, whether an EIR is needed because "potentially significant impacts to historical resources remain that cannot be mitigated or whether the findings reveal�that.a Mi gated.Negative,;D,eclaratiDnis a possibility - . - because the impacts to the project can be mitigated to less than significant level. After all, the purpose of CEQA remains to disclose to decision makers and the public the significant environmental effects of proposed activities, to identify ways to avoid or reduce environmental damage and to prevent environmental damage by requiring feasible alternatives or mitigations measures. The current document fails in this regard. Again, we like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above project.

As preparation for my essay.I saw most of the historic courthouses and associated O clusters of civic buildings in California. Among all of California's county seats, Martinez stood out for its impressive collection of well-designed civic and county buildings from a diversity of eras and styles. Notable among these is the 1903 Courthouse(now the Finance Building)designed in the image of the State Capitol;the 1932 Hall of Records(now the Courthouse),an example of the influence of the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris;the P.W.A.Moderne style Library and Post Office buildings from the late 1930s;the twelve-story,Administration Building of 1954,a raresurviving , example of Bresihin modernism and the contemporary Health Department Building. These buildings are individually distinguished because for each of them, good architects built as well as they could in the style of their times, conscious of their relationships to their neighbors. As a group,these buildings form a distinguished ensemble that suggests a continuous concern for good architecture and good government over many decades. When I read about the controversy over the new design, I called the architects and asked to see their plans(I have never had any personal or business relationship with the firm). My impression after reviewing the design is that it is a fine,thoughtful proposal that responds sensitively to its older context. The proposed design would be an exciting contribution to the variety of civic buildings already in place. Such a building would suggest a continuing commitment in Contra Costa County to good architecture and,by extension,to good,honest government,and a fair legal system.

District Attorney Contra Costa County 8 September 2005 Page 2 As for the terra cotta clad P.W.A.Moderne style building that would be replaced by the proposed courthouse,it certainly contributes to the architectural character of the ensemble as it currently exists. At the same time,it is architecturally one of the least t important contributors to the group because of its size and siting. While it might be *; possible to redesign the project to incorporate the front section of this building,it is hard to say whether such a design would ultimately do more to strengthen the unique character of the Martinez civic center than the new proposal fif. I hope this letter is of some help in resolving the controversy in favor of the new design. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The Honorable Bill Wainwright,Vice-Mayor of Martinez,presented Martinez City Council Resolution 097-05 requesting that the Board of Supervisors adopt a design for new District Attorney building in keeping with the historic character of downtown Martinez,partner with the City on a parking garage site planning process,and execute a MOU for future County projects built in Martinez.The Vice-Mayor noted that the Martinez Specific Plan,now nearing completion,calls for construction to adhere to certain architectural guidelines. The Board then viewed a presentation from architects Isidro Farias and Eileen Tumlin,showing slides of the proposed building and also slides of downtown buildings they considered to be upholding or detracting from the historical context that the Council advocates retaining. Chair Gayle B.Uilkema called forth speakers for public comment on this item. The following persons provided testimony: Lara Delaney,Martinez City Councilmember, spoke in favor of changing the design of the proposed building in the interest of architectural harmony and suggested the development of an MOU so that the Martinez General Plan could be incorporated earlier in the process of such projects. Robert Kochly,Contra Costa District Attorney,said he believes the architect has designed a building that,while modern,would complement and blend in with the surrounding area.He noted that Martinez' design and review standards have not yet been adopted.He said he is happy to meet with and accept the list of proposed changes from the ad-hoc committee for the City of Martinez.He.noted that.most of.the proposals would require major or vast redesign,which may not be afforded in either time or money.He said he would be happy to incorporate changes if they are feasible.He added that issues about parking will be dealt with in the CEQA analysis. A comment from Nancy Hobert,Martinez resident,was read into the record, supporting the proposed design,saying it is unique and stunning. Elaine Lorenzo presented the comments of Earl D.Dunivan,Sr.,wherein Mr.Dunivan suggests the District Attorney building fit in with the historic downtown theme. Roy Jeans,Martinez resident,referred to the proposed building as a"metal box"and suggested that by cooperating with the Martinez City Council,the Supervisors can dispel the community belief that the County can do whatever it wants with Martinez. Honorable Rob Schroeder,Mayor of Martinez, said he seeks to maintain the relationship between Martinez and the County,and noted the Council doesn't seek a total redesign,but just asks that the County work with the City's subcommittee. He expressed appreciation of the Board's consideration of this item. 3 X D.4 October 4, 2005 i Page 2 of 2 R Janet Kennedy,Martinez City Councilmember,expressedsupport of the Martinez revitalizatioPR n. Chair Uilkema said the next stop in the process will be the Capital Facilities Committee meeting, and invited the Martinez subcommittee to be a part of the process. She suggested that after the � { specifics of the design have been adopted,there should be given to the process itself so _. that there can be even better communication for any future projects. She noted that the Board is in E sync with the recommendations outlined in the Martinez City Council Resolution. a s Chair Uilkema moved approval, seconded by Supervisor Piepho, and by a 4-0 vote with Supervisor Glover absent, the Board of Supervisors took the following action: x. z ACCPETED the comments provided today by members of the Martinez City Council sub- A committee on the proposed District Attorney Building in downtown Martinez. al F' i 4� k. . ,rye kX M �n f 5±+ `m4 F.

BOX 747 MARTINEZ, CA 94553 E-mail: earlsr@aonic.net October 4, 2005 To: The Board of Supervisors: I. As you all know, I am very much in favor of keeping County services in the downtown, and I favor accommodating these services as much as possible: And, of course, my family is the landlord for some of these services. II. The County's presence in the downtown has always been a great benefit to Martinez business people. III. Recently, however, we have seen that the County's presence is not enough to keep even a drugstore or a supermarket, let alone a. department store, open downtown. IV. Martinez needs more than the County to bring people to Martinez. V. Much is being done by many in town to support the downtown's revitalization. VI. One approach is to boost Martinez as a destination. VII. Martinez is an old and historic town, and that is one of its great assets. Emphasizing our town's quaint, small-town qualities is one of the best ways to attract visitors here. Phone: (925) 228-4788 Fax: (925) 228-3789 _, ' ..S n X VIII. Any new construction or rehabilitation of existing buildings here should fit with the downtown's small-town, historic atmosphere. I firmly believe this and I believe I have shown this by the way I renovated the old State Theater building at 800 Ferry Street and the building at 627 Ferry Street next to the West America Bank, which now houses some District Attorney officesl IX. This does not mean "no modern buildings." It means "modern buildings which mix well with the small-town, historic look of Martinez." X. I would like to see the County and the District Attorney work with Martinez to achieve a design for the new District Attorney's building which will add to the historic, small-town appeal of the downtown, not undermine it or clash with it. I believe the present design is too much of a departure from what we are trying to achieve with the revitalization of our downtown. I say this in no way wanting to discourage the District Attorney or the County from going ahead with this project - or to delay it unnecessarily. . Let's-just work together for the benefit of both the County and Martinez. S*MOCTly, Earl D.

I could not get out of my obligations as a librarian to attend the October 04,2005 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors redesign meeting regarding the proposed District Attorney's building in Martinez,but I submit this letter instead. It is worth reading. Human beings from birth are built to recognize patterns and to be stimulated by the interest found in those patterns. Moreover,natural,warn,and omate materials not only stimulate us,they also elevate mood. We are also created to identify with one another,including each other's art and craftsmanship. Social binding is key to individual welfare and a fimctional society.The care that was put into forming this art-deco,flesh-colored marble building with its intricate,playful aluminum awning sends a positive message to all of us that it matters what we do,what we create,how we treat our public property,and that our governing bodies care about us. The new design as it stands with cold cement,razor edges,dull patterns,and brutal glass will only make us care less about each other,our environment, and our society. Concrete jungles create stone hearts and indifferent minds. What we look at matters.If this were not so,.television,.advertising,_photography, painting,and even pornography would have no effect onus. The new District Attorney building will generate its own business by creating an impersonal, non-human environment. It will be as if the judicial process does not matter:throw them from one cement block to another. Is there anything about downtown Walnut Creek that makes you want to walk around in it just for inspiration?What will such an environment do to the productivity of County workers? Most of all,you are destroying the character of Martinez.I honestly believe that if Martinez is governed in a way that it can adapt to progress such that its overwhelmingly tender,historic,and textured beauty remain intact,that it will become one of the most desirable places to live in Contra Costa--and therefore a tremendous property tax base. Why cannot this new design leave the marble fagade of the current structure and build in, around,and upwards from it just as occurs in San Francisco?Walk up Montgomery, Sansome,and California Struts—a global financial district—where retaining architectural integrity of buildings created in a more aware era is accomplished over and over on a massive and upwardly rising scale.Modern and intelligent DOES NOT mean looking like a dull gray plastic computer hard drive casing with a few cheap cast-metal details. This effacing building proposed for this site will correspond to the rest of y} extremely valuable downtown Martinez like a religious enemy,creating psychological strife for residents, workers,and any visitor to Martinez. You will devalue the most unique city in your county,which despite being the county seat still belongs to itself and the people of Contra Costa a County.Do not thieve the meaning of Martinez from the citizens of Contra Costa nor the county tax base by installing this design.We know persons of 31 your stature and power have the capacity to think imaginatively, intelligently;and outside the cement box. We look forward to another design.

I am a licensed architect and have had my own practice in Contra Costa County for more than twenty years. I have also been a resident of Martinez for more than eighteen years, and have served the City.of Martinez as a Design Review Board (DRB) member and Planning Commission (PC) member for more than seventeen of those years. I believe that I am qualified to discuss the proposed design.in o unique way and offer these thoughts about the proposed design. Martinez is a town which is rich in history and struggling with how to maintain its historic O character. The city's residents are passionate about their town, as evidenced by the recent battle over Redevelopment. Two votes have placed the city voters consistently around an even split on the subject. One side feels that the town is a treasure that redevelopment could somehow destroy, while the other side feels that the town is a treasure that redevelopment would enhance. My discussions with people on both sides of this volatile issue has drown this one conclusion,people are most concerned that the historic character ofthe downtown could be lost forever. Contra Costa County and the City of Martinez share a symbiotic relationship that has existed for many years. As the seat of county government, Contra Costa County should share in the concerns of the citizenry of Martinez. The county has many bungs, old and new that reflect the long historic nature of the downtown. Certainly the Contra Costa County Finance Building (see photo 1) and the Contra Costa County Court House (see photo 2) stand as symbols of the rich heritage of County government. The A.F. Bray Building (see photo 3), a much newer addition to the court house buildings is an example of the County's sensitivity to the historic neighborhood in which it exists. Its column and pediment entry,together with the rustication on the front faoade of the building reflect the character of the other two previous buildings, while still displaying a contemporary interpretation of the classic style. Recently, Mr. James Busby had sought and received the approval to construct a new three- story office building at the comer of Alhambra Avenue and Escobar Street from the City of Martinez. He instructed his architect to provide a building that reflected a more historic style of architecture. Through the direction of the DRB the building was rotated ninety degrees to place the main entrance of the building onto Escobar Street instead of Alhambra Avenue in order to make a better connection to the downtown. It is my understanding that the County has entered into a leasing agreement with Mr. Busby, and may ultimately purchase the building. I believe that this building represents a design thatis verysensitive to its surroundings. As an architect and past member of the DRB and PC, I know that the one guiding principle of good design is to consider the adjacent properties and character of the surrounding properties: That does not mean that all new buldmgs must look alike,only that they reflect the character of their neighborhood. I have witnessed many attempts at design in the downtown area and can say with overwheiming confidence that this has been a consistent direction that has been requested of applicants by the DRB and.PC. Unfortunately, government buildings are not put through the same design review process that private development must endure. Had they been subject to the same design review we would not be here today discussing the redesign of the DA building. The architect would have been directed early on in the process that the proposed design was much too contemporary and void of any Historic character. It looms over its next door neighbor and is completely out of character with its surrounding neighbors. The proposed building provides little or no relief along the street front and uses materials inconsistent with other buildings in the downtown area., It should be noted that there are many varying palettes of architecture within the immediate area of the proposed DA building which could be used as the muse for the design of the DA's new home. First;the existing Contra Costa County Assessor's Office (see photo 4) on the project site is classic Art Deco with smooth cut stone facade and decorative panels and stylized frieze motif at the Court Street fagade. The Contra Costa County Finance Budding (see photo 1) with its Ionic entry columns, Meze and cornice detail and-classic pediment structure, is a good example of Greek revival. The Contra Costa County Court House (see photo 2) with its light 1 stone walls,mansard roof and accentuated comice is reminiscent of the classic Beaux Arts style. The United States Post Office Budding (see photo 5) on Court Street could be described as a simplified Beaux Arts building as well with its decorative garland detail, cornice and relief panels . at the windows. The Martinez library Budding (see photo 6) can also be defined in the Art Deco style. Its vertical relief panels and decorative border with the classic instep at the windows reflect the Art Deco motif. Even the local McDonald's Budding is Art Deco in style. Two buildings on'either side of the new DA Budding are historic in nature as well. Across Green Street from the new DA Building is an example of Spanish Eclectic (see photo 7). Finally,we have the Veteran's War Memorial Budding (see photo 8). This budding might best be described as a cross between Early Classical Revival and the Georgian style. Its use of brick with lentil molding and columned entry give it it's an historic character different than those around it. I The proposed DA.Building misses out on the opportunity to compliment this building. Instead it completely dwarfs this building and makes no historic connection to it whatsoever. I have only touched on a few of the surrounding buildings of the proposed DA Building, but I hope that you will consider the comments that have been made and consider the rich history that our downtown has. I urge you to consider a redesign of the exterior of the DA Budding and direct the architect to work to develop a style of architecture for the budding that reflects the historic nature of our downtown. Thank you for your consideration.
