r" !ESA I Protect Oaschatiori and Approach received on the NOP will be taken into consideration in determining which topics to analyze in the SE1R. Task 3. Administrative Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR} The analysis in the SEIR will evaluate the effects of the project compared to an existing baseline (to be established, generally, at the time a NOP is issued for the SEER). Because this document will supplement the previously prepared, the analysis will evaluate whether implementation of the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone would result in any new or substantially more severe impacts than those identified in the prior General Plan and GPA EIRs. whether due to changes in the project, changes in circumstances, or the availability of new information. Because the previous EERs— particularly. the GPA EIR—are relatively recent. we anticipate that changes to the project (i.e., implementation of the general plan amendment and rezoning for the Johnson Drive site) would likely be the cause of new and/or more severe impacts. should any be identified. ESA will prepare a SEIR including a robust technical analysis of the identified key environmental issues. Based upon the RFP, for the purposes of this proposal ESA assumes that four issues—Aesthetics, Air Quality, Noise, and Transportation —will be fully analyzed in the SEER, with the remainder of the environmental topics on the CEQA Checklist assumed to be discussed in lesser detail, in a separate section of the document. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and/or GPA EIR will be reviewed for the applicability to the proposed Johnson Drive project. As set forth in the RFP, ESA will provide the City with five (5) copies of the ADEIR, as well as one unbound copy and an electronic copy. Aesthetics/Light and Glare. The impacts of the rezoning on aesthetic, visual, and scenic resources will be evaluated. including potential loss of views and effects of increased lighting on motorists and residents in the City (and, potentially, residents of Dublin. immediately across Interstate 580). Policies and programs provided in the General Plan and standard City requirements will be evaluated as to their effect of mitigating or avoiding any potentially significant effects. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and/or GPA EIR will be revised for their potential to reduce impacts at the project site. Additional mitigation measures for aesthetic, visual and scenic resources will be identified where necessary to reduce any significant effects. Visual Massing Simulations ESA will team with Environmental Vision to provide visual massing simulations for the proposed project in support of the Aesthetics analysis. The simulations would be completed from three public viewpoints and reflect before and after images of the project site. • Air Quality. The air quality analysis will focus on air quality effects primarily from increased traffic, including any identified health risk effects, City of Pleasanton Johnson Cm* Ewnamac tbveroomonr Ions E!R 1- 5
