3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
City of Berkeley 651 Addison Street Mixed-Use Project August 2008 Draft Environmental Impact Report
3.0-1
The 651 Addison Street Mixed-Use Project is a proposed mixed-use development that would involve construction of a 5-story housing project with 2,600 square feet (SF) of street-level commercial near the foot of University Avenue across from the new Amtrak station. The project would consist of 94 residential units, two retail spaces, and a 102-space parking garage with 28 bicycle spaces. The project would also construct all necessary infrastructure to connect to existing City services.
3.1 PROJECT LOCATION, OWNERSHIP, AND CURRENT USE
The proposed 651 Addison Street (also 2020 Third Street) Mixed-Use Project (project) is located within the West Berkeley Area Plan in the City of Berkeley, Alameda County. Regional access is provided by Interstate 580 (I-580) and Interstate 80 (I-80), which are located approximately two-tenths of a mile west of the site. Figure 3.0-1 depicts the regional location of the project site. The project site is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Addison and Third Streets (Figure 3.0-2). The project site consists of one parcel (Assessor’s Parcel No. 056-1954-009) under single ownership (Aquatic Park Enterprises, LLC) that encompasses approximately 36,400 square feet (0.84 acres). The site is generally rectangular (with a notch at the northwest corner of the site) north-south along Third Street and east-west along Addison Street. The site is flat and paved with a concrete pad.
The site has historically been used as a manufacturing facility, and more recently was used as a work, storage, commercial, and light-manufacturing facility. The project site previously included the one-story, 19,400 square foot Drayage building, which was demolished in June 2007 (Figure 3.0-3). The Drayage building was constructed in 1935 and was declared unsafe by the Berkeley Fire Department and Building Department in 2005, which later lead to eviction and demolition of the building.
The area surrounding the project site includes a variety of different land uses from manufacturing including the Truitt White lumber company on Second Street to boutique retailers along Fourth Street (Figure 3.0-4). The project study area has experienced much redevelopment within the last decade, including a renovated train stop and transit hub, streetscape improvements, housing developments, live/work facilities, pedestrian/bicycle transportation improvements, new office building, and reinvestment in stores located along University Avenue, San Pablo Avenue, Fourth Street, and additional surrounding streets. Additionally, two of the City’s largest open spaces are located within close proximity to the project site. These include the Berkeley Aquatic Park and the Berkeley Waterfront and Marina.
3.2 SURROUNDING PROJECTS
There are four major projects that were approved recently in the general vicinity of the project site that may contribute to overall cumulative impacts. Cumulative impact criteria are determined by each resource topic area. Additional projects in the vicinity that were not included for the discussion of cumulative impacts are listed in Table 4.0-2. One additional project that is not yet approved includes amendments that would allow for automobile sales in West Berkeley. These projects include the following:
• 700 University Avenue – 173 one- and two-bedroom residential units and commercial/ retail on an approximately two-acre site
• Read Building at 2039 4th Street – mixed-use development with 7,747 SF general office space, 8,540 SF retail, one 2,962 SF residential dwelling unit in single two- to three-story tiered building (49-foot maximum height) with garden courtyard

3.3 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The following objectives have been identified for the proposed project:
• To generally implement the concepts of the West Berkeley Area Plan with the development of the proposed project;
• To develop an economically feasible project;
• To construct some form of commercial, residential, or mixed-use project that is consistent with the Avenue Commercial land designation in the Berkeley General Plan.
3.4 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The proposed project would consist of the development of an approximately 36,400 square foot lot (0.84 acre) with a 5-story building consisting of four levels of housing over ground-level parking and street retail. The project would include a café with outdoor seating, another commercial space, and 94 units of residential housing. A breakdown of square footage for each use is provided in Table 3.0-1.

Total Lot Area - 36,400 - *Gross Floor Area excludes parking area, per Berkeley Zoning Ordinance Title 23F **Defined by City of Berkeley as open to the sky and common space; includes courtyard and roof deck areas
Defined Building Envelopes
The building envelope is the portion of a lot in which all graded and/or impermeable surfaces must occur and defines where structural setbacks occur. The building itself would constitute 95 percent of the impervious surface, including the parking garage, driveways, patios, and
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
651 Addison Street Mixed-Use Project City of Berkeley Draft Environmental Impact Report August 2008
3.0-14
impervious decking. The total building footprint would be 33,199 square feet (see Figures 3.0-6 through 3.0-10). The average building height would be 60 feet with a maximum height of 63 feet, for a total of five stories. The landscaping and open space is designed for a range of public and private uses. Public open space uses include courtyard and landscaped roof deck areas. Private open space uses include residential patios and balconies. Residential patios would face the courtyard area and balconies would be west-facing. The sidewalk would include street-level landscaping and seasonal shade trees. The applicant shall implement the Aquatic Park Connection Streetscape Improvement Project’s sidewalk and stormwater drainage improvements. The residential lobby, courtyard, and roof would integrate landscaping, benches, and art to include common places for neighbors in which to interact.
Residential and Commercial
The project proposes the development of 94 residential units as follows: two-bedroom, one-bedroom, and studio. Seventy of these units are considered base units of housing. Twenty percent of the base units, or 14 units, would be sold at a price that is affordable to an appropriate-sized household whose income is no more than 80 percent of the area median income reported for the Oakland PMSA for households of that size.1 Commercial space would include 2,600 square feet of ground-floor retail, including the following possible uses: café, restaurant, and other small-scale neighborhood-serving retail. The mixed-use development would occur on a 36,400 square foot lot, resulting in a gross floor area of approximately 92,470 square feet (with density bonus) at a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.54.
LAND USE
The proposed project is located in the West Berkeley Area of the Berkeley General Plan. The site is designated by the General Plan as Avenue Commercial (AC) and zoned as West Berkeley Commercial (C-W), with MU-LI and MU-R (Mixed-Use Industrial and Mixed-Use Residential) nearby. The General Plan designation of Avenue Commercial allows for a range of uses characterized by pedestrian-oriented commercial developments and multi-family residential structures. Further discussion and details on land use and the project’s consistency with applicable General Plan policies are provided in Section 4.1, Land Use, Population, and Housing, of this EIR.
The General Plan Land Use map designates lands to the south and east of the project site as manufacturing and manufacturing mixed-use. To the west of the project site are manufacturing uses, the Aquatic Park, and a recreational trail. North of the project site are manufacturing, commercial uses, and the University Avenue viaduct.
CONSTRUCTION PHASING
Construction of the project is proposed to begin in September 2009 and be complete near the beginning of 2011. The proposed project would not be phased. Development of the proposed project would require excavation of the upper seven feet below ground surface to be replaced with engineered fill.
1 PMSA (primary metropolitan statistical area) as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau is a geographic entity defined by the Federal OMB for use by federal statistical agencies.

WATER
Water service for the proposed project would be served by East Bay Municipal Utility District’s (EBMUD) existing water supply, distribution system, and treatment facilities. The water treatment facilities that serve the project site and area include the EBMUD Orinda Water Treatment Plant. Further discussion and details regarding water are provided in Section 4.10, Public Services and Utilities, of this EIR.
WASTEWATER
The City of Berkeley provides wastewater collection and transmission from properties located within its boundaries to EBMUD for treatment. The EBMUD’s Main Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in Oakland near the entrance to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, services the project area. Wastewater infrastructure currently servicing the project area consists of a 16-inch sewer main on Addison Street. Further discussion and details regarding wastewater are provided in Section 4.10, Public Services and Utilities, of this EIR.
STORM DRAINAGE
The project site drains to the southwest. Runoff from the proposed project is to be collected by the existing storm drains on Addison Street. Further discussion and details are provided in Section 4.8, Hydrology and Water Quality, of this EIR.
ELECTRICITY/NATURAL GAS/TELEPHONE
The proposed project would utilize existing electricity, gas, and telephone lines that serve the surrounding project area. These lines are located along Addison Street. Electricity and gas would be provided by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) and telephone service by AT&T. The project proposes to connect to electric, gas, and telephone lines during the construction of the project. Additionally, this project would be part of the Aquatic Park Connection Streetscape Improvement Project, which would include plans for undergrounding the utility line along Addison Street. The environmental impacts of the Streetscape Improvement Project are analyzed in the Aquatic Park Connection Streetscape Improvement Project Initial Study (City of Berkeley, 2006). Therefore, the environmental effects of undergrounding the utility lines are not analyzed in this document. Further discussion and details regarding electricity, natural gas, and telephone are provided in Section 4.10, Public Services and Utilities, of this EIR.
OTHER SERVICES
Fire protection in the City of Berkeley is provided by Berkeley Fire Department. The City of Berkeley Police Department provides law enforcement services within the City limits. Further discussion regarding fire and law enforcement services is provided in Section 4.10, Public Services and Utilities, of this EIR.
