This RTC document includes: a short description of the environmental review process, the comments received on the Draft EIR and responses to those comments, and text revisions to the Draft EIR in response to the comments received and/or to amplify or clarify material in the Draft EIR. This RTC document, together with the Draft EIR, constitutes the Final EIR for the proposed 2580 Bancroft Way Mixed-Use Project. B. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS According to CEQA, lead agencies are required to consult with public agencies having jurisdiction over a proposed project and to provide the general public with an opportunity to comment on the Draft EIR. The City of Berkeley (City) circulated a Notice of Preparation (NOP) that briefly described the project and the environmental topics that would be evaluated in the Draft EIR. The NOP was initially published on October 3, 2017. The 30-day public comment period for the scope of the EIR lasted from October 3, 2017 to November 3, 2017. The NOP was sent to the State Clearinghouse, responsible and trustee agencies, organizations, and interested individuals. A public scoping session for the project was held on October 26, 2017 in conjunction with a Zoning Adjustments Board (ZAB) meeting, as well as on November 2, 2017 in conjunction with a Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) meeting. Comments received by the City on the NOP either in writing or verbally at the public scoping sessions were considered during the preparation of the Draft EIR. Written NOP comments were received from East Bay Municipal Utility District, the Native American Heritage Commission, and one individual. The NOP and comment letters are included in Appendix B of the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR was published on April 17, 2018 and distributed to applicable local and State agencies. Copies of the Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR (NOA) were mailed to all individuals previously requesting to be notified of the Draft EIR, in addition to those agencies and individuals who received a copy of the NOP. 1 BANCROFT PROJECT – 2580 BANCROFT EIR AUGUST 2018 I.

It is also a place that is steadfastly committed to widening the doors to educational opportunity, a place that sets young people from all backgrounds on a path towards success in their lives and in their careers. This combination of excellence and access is what defines and animates us; it is truly Berkeley’s DNA. I arrived at Berkeley in 1970 as a freshly minted PhD who had never been west of Philadelphia, and this institution transformed me – just as it continues to transform so many of those who study here, work here, visit, and otherwise come into contact with our campus. I know that Berkeley will prove just as transformative for your sons and daughters. This resource guide provides a wealth of information about UC Berkeley, and can serve as a starting point for any questions you might have about our campus. We also invite you to call on Cal Parents at any time if you need additional assistance. On behalf of the entire UC Berkeley community: Welcome to our family, and Go Bears! CAROL CHRIST Chancellor It is with great honor that we welcome you to the Cal family! We are excited that your student has chosen to study at the University of California, Berkeley.
