Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines initial Study automatic fire sprinklers, fire- resistant construction, and early warning the detection systems, in addition to access and setback requirements which facilitate firefighters' entry and fire separation. The City of Pleasanton Police Department would continue to provide police services to the project sites. The Police Department divides the City into three geographical districts. The project would be located in District Two, with two police sergeants and at least 12 officers assigned to the district. In Pleasanton, the average police response time for emergency calls in 2008 was over 4 minutes 40 seconds. The proposed zone change would not result in development not previously planned or accounted for by fire or police service providers. Development under the proposed standards and guidelines would accommodate between 870 and 1,595 dwelling units, compared to the 950 assumed for the previous tezonings. In early 2010, the Pleasanton Unified School District completed a demographic study which assumed 950 new transit oriented residential units in the Hacienda area. The report used a student generation rate for TOD units of 0.41 per unit. If the maximum number of units were developed under the standards and guidelines (1,595 units), this could result in approximately 650 school age children, approximately 300 of which could be K -5 elementary school children. This growth in school -age children would impact Donlon Elementary School, Hart Middle School, and Foothill High School. According to the Demographic report, if 950 units are built by 2019, Donlon's current boundary could encompass 1,100 sntdents, a net increase of nearly 200 students over the number in 2009. The report suggested that the expected growth points to the eventual need for a new elementary school in the northwest portion of the City. Other mitigation measures that could be used by the Pleasanton Unified School District include adding portable classrooms to school sites or adjusting attendance boundaries. The Pleasanton Unified School District collects school impact fees on new construction before the City issues building permits for such construction. Thus development of the proposed sites due to development under the standards and guidelines would result in school impact fees that would be directed toward the construction costs of accommodating additional children. By doing so, any impacts on schools would be lessened to a less - than- significant level. For a discussion of parks and recreation, see the discussion, below, under 14. Recreation.
