Please be aware that with the submittal of information requested by staff, additional approvals may be added to the permit and associated fees will be due. Further, fees for the Traffic Impact Analysis review (base fee $640), Landmarks Preservation Commission Demolition review ($1,055), and peer review of the Geotechnical Report (see item #5.g, $2,500 deposit) are due immediately. Please submit a check for $4,195, payable to the City of Berkeley, and use the attached invoice for payment. (completed) 2. Base versus Proposed Project. In order to determine the density bonus for the project, the maximum allowable residential density must be based on the largest project allowed that is fully consistent with the lot development standards for the site the base project. Thus, the base project must be fully compliant with the district standards, without any discretionary permits to waive or modify the standard. (See BMC 23E.36 for C-1 district standards.) (completed) a. The base project as shown in the drawings, does not comply with the following standards: i. Ground Level Commercial. Per BMC 23E F.1.a, projects within the Node Overlay must provide ground level commercial use that is a minimum of 30% of the lot area and occupy a minimum of 75% of the University Avenue frontage. The project appears to provide 24.4% (1654 s.f./6739 s.f.), and occupy 50% of the frontage (24.13 /46.33 ). ( We now have the ground level commercial at

3 54.6% ( 3681 sf/ 6739 sf) and we have a lot width of 46 4 where we cannot meet the requirement of 75% commercial frontage, as we need to provide lobby and exit passageway and other important requirements. ii. Ground Floor Use. Clarify whether 100% of the 1654 s.f. of ground floor commercial area is to be Retail Sales and/or Personal and Household Services, and /or Food Services, if this information is known. Additional permit approvals may be needed depending upon the use proposed. (ii) The usage of commercial space is mentioned on the sheet no A0.1. It is used for Retail and /or Food Services iii. Usable Open Space. Please provide transparent calculations for the usable open space (include area diagrams) in both the base and proposed project. The area diagrams for (iii) can be found on sheet A0.2 with open space calculations of base and proposed project in sheet A0.3 A. There is no usable open space requirement for the commercial use. Delete this allocation in the table on sheet A0.1. (completed) B. Per BMC 23E D, the minimum usable open space requirement is 8,000 s.f. and only 2,574 s.f. is provided, according to the table on sheet A0.1. C. Per BMC 23E F.3, mixed-use projects within the University Avenue Strategic Plan Overlay area shall provide a portion of the required open space for residential units in locations that enhance the project entries and contribute to the enhancement of the University Avenue frontage ; a minimum of 10% of the required open space shall be located at the street level or on a parking podium and directly connected to the Project entries at the street level and accessible to the occupants of the building ; and a minimum of 75% of the required open space shall be open to the sky. Please revise the base project usable open space to comply with these district requirements. There are 4 open spaces on the street level/ level 1/ground level which are called out on sheet no A1.3. They are accessible to all the occupants of the buildings as well as for the customers of the commercial spaces( open spaces attached to yoga studio) and the color coding is presented on sheet A0.2 and for calculations regarding open spaces please refer to Sheet A0.3. iv. Off-Street Parking. BMC 23E , parking requirements for the commercial and residential uses must be met in the base project. Provide a calculation for the minimum number of car and bike parking spaces required for both uses on the site, and show how the base project will provide them. Also provide a calculation for the required parking for both uses in the proposed project, to show how many spaces are requested to be waived. Seeking waiver using transform whose documents are attached on sheet A0.7 v. Height. According to Sheet A0.3, the base project appears to have five stories, where, per BMC 23E B.2, the limit for the district is four stories. The plans are color-coded for both base and proposed projects in sheet A0.2.

4 vi. Please revise all calculations based on revisions in response to the above items. (completed) b. Substantial Consistency. The proposed project must be substantially consistent with the base project (ie. footprint, setbacks, and amenities), without the waivers or concessions to allow the density bonus. For instance, if the proposed project has a Multi-Purpose Room, the base project should also. (completed) c. Provide scalable floor area diagrams for the base and proposed project, so that staff can verify the residential gross floor area used in density bonus calculations. The diagrams on Sheet A0.2 appear to not be to scale. (completed) 3. Density Bonus Calculations: a. Calculation Method: Calculations, Average Unit size, No of Base project Units, Density Bonus and no. of Bonus units can be found on sheet no: A0.3. The state density bonus law (Government Code Section 65915) requires local governments to grant density bonuses to projects that provide specified percentage of below-market rate units. The law defines a density bonus as a density increase over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density of the date of application ( 65915(f)). To calculate maximum allowable residential density for the C-1 zoning district, please follow this step-by-step method: i. Calculate residential floor area for base project total floor area dedicated to residential uses (living areas, corridors, residential amenities) for all floors. ii. Calculate Average Unit Size divide the total floor area dedicated to residential uses in the proposed project by the total number of proposed residential units. (This average unit size must be maintained in the final approved project, unless a concession is granted to increase the size.) iii. Calculate number of base project units divide total residential floor area in the base project from step i by average unit size from step ii. Round up. iv. Determine BMR units determine proposed number and income level of below market rate (BMR) units. v. Density Bonus calculate density increase (%) based on 65915(f) and information from step iv. vi. Calculate number of bonus units by applying percentage from step v to the base project units. Round up.

5 b. Don t need to show BMR units in base project. Delete this from the table on Sheet A0.2. All the categories are color coded according to their usage in both base and proposed project, please refer to sheet no. A0.2. c. In calculating the residential floor area for the first floor, you may include areas that are for the exclusive use of the residents of the building (e.g. bike room, trash). But only include lobby areas equal to a 6 foot wide (maximum) corridor area for circulation to the residential use areas. completed d. Clarify the intended users of the Multi-Purpose Room on the first floor. If it is for the exclusive use of the residents, include with the residential gross floor area. We changed the multi-purpose room to yoga studio commercial area so the users are customers. e. I will you an example of Density Bonus calculations and diagrams that would greatly assist us in evaluating your project. Thanks 4. Affordable Housing. City records show that the project proposal would require the demolition of eight (8) rent-controlled units that are all currently occupied. This project is subject to the following regulations pertaining to the affordable housing units in the proposal in relation to the elimination of existing occupied dwelling units: 1) Government Code 65915(c)(3)(A and B), regarding the replacement of eliminated dwelling units; 2) BMC 22.20, regarding Affordable Housing Mitigation Fees (AHMF); and 3) BMC 23C , regarding the Elimination of Dwelling Units through Demolition. Please provide information in the form of a table and/or statement on how the project complies with each of these regulations, and specify the number and affordability level for all units proposed by the project for compliance with all of the above regulations. Also, provide dollar amounts for any fees that will be paid for compliance with the aforementioned regulations. I believe I have already sent you the formula and per-unit fee used for calculating the number of affordable units and the mitigation fee amount, as required by the AHMF ordinance. O.K a. Pursuant to Government Code, section c.3, regarding the replacement of affordable or rent-controlled dwelling units that are demolished) provide information on the occupant income levels for each of the existing eight dwelling units to be demolished, for the five-year period preceding the permit application, if available. O.K b. Note that the income level of affordable units and the fee required under BMC 23C , the City demolition ordinance, are currently undetermined and are subject to pending action by the City Council. Staff will notify you when these amounts are determined. O.K c. Please be aware that the time duration that affordable units must be provided at the affordable rate varies widely according to the state or city regulation applied. For instance, affordable replacement units under the state density bonus law requires an affordability restriction for at least 55 years, whereas affordable replacement units under the City s demolition ordinance must be provided at the affordable rate in perpetuity. O.K

6 d. Note that once the ratio of in-lieu affordable units to monetary fee is approved with the Use Permit, any change in the ratio will require the approval of a separate permit to modify the Use permit. O.K e. Please contact Lief Bursell of the Rent Board at (510) , LBursell@ci.berkeley.ca.us, for information on your responsibilities to occupying tenants of the dwelling units to be demolished.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, sett ing, and boundaries) 1110 University Avenue, Berkeley (APN ) currently houses a mixed-use structure situated on the south side of University Avenue two parcels away from the intersection of San Pablo and University Avenues. The existing building is two stories and about 11,000sf. The street level has two commercial spaces. The main commercial space is Tower (Dry) Cleaners* which has been at this location for decades. This space is roughly 4,500sf. The other space is the home of Judy s Hair and Nail and is only 650sf. Both spaces have their own entrances off the street and their own identities. The easternmost part of the University Avenue ground floor has an entrance and stairs to the upper level which houses (8) one-bedroom apartments. The building takes up almost the entirety of the 6,739sf lot. There is no off-street parking on the site. Although mostly non-descript and unattractive, especially at the upper level, the structure itself does have some clues as to when it was built. The commercial storefront combines thin but wide masonry veneer which clads a roughly 18- inch base which forms the foundation wall to wall glass. The storefront façade is slightly angled toward the interior which is a common element of commercial storefronts of that period. Research at the City of Berkeley has turned up nothing of historic importance of the structure itself or of any occupant of the structure over the years. The building has no character defining features worthy of preservation or reconstruction of any kind. *Tower Cleaners is the source of the groundwater toxicity which is being ordered for cleanup by the State of California triggering the necessity of demolition of the structure. * P3b.
