Environmental Checklist and City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project <br />Environmental Evaluation Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br /> <br /> <br />120 FirstCarbon Solutions <br />Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480024/ISMND/wp/21480024 10x Genomics Project Full Screencheck ISMND.docx <br />staffs, one Type 3, and one Hazardous Materials Unit.95 Fire Station No. 2 has an average response <br />time of 5 minutes and 46 seconds.96 <br />According to the LPFD, development within the area has increased the number of vehicles present in <br />the vicinity of Fire Station No. 2, which has affected the emergency response times from this station. <br />However, the LPFD has provided service to the site over the past decade and the redevelopment of <br />the site would not constitute a new impact on the LPFD’s ability to provide service. Furthermore, the <br />proposed project is located just 250 feet west of Fire Station No. 2, allowing for efficient response in <br />the event of a fire. <br />Consistent with the recommendations from the LPFD (Appendix I), a Transportation Impact Analysis <br />(TIA) has been prepared for the proposed project and is included as Appendix J of this report. The <br />TIA estimates that the proposed project would generate a total of 3,680 net-new daily trips. The TIA <br />also includes recommendations to mitigate any traffic impacts as a result of implementation of the <br />proposed project. These recommendations are included as MM TRANS-1 through MM TRANS-2 and <br />are discussed in further detail in Section 2.17, Transportation. As such, impacts would be less than <br />significant with mitigation incorporated. <br />b) Police protection? <br />Less than significant impact. The project site is located in District 1 of a five-district system. Police <br />services in the City of Pleasanton are provided by the Pleasanton Police Department. The nearest <br />Pleasanton Police Department station to the project site is the main station, a full-service station <br />located approximately 4.4 miles southeast of the project site at 4833 Bernal Avenue in Pleasanton. In <br />2019, the Pleasanton Police Department erected a new substation, Pleasanton/BART Joint Service <br />Station, located at 650 Stoneridge Mall Road, which is approximately 0.5 mile away. This substation <br />helps deal with the new construction/safety at Workday, the BART Station, and overall calls for <br />service directly related to the Stoneridge Mall. This substation acts as location for patrol to handle <br />in-custody calls for service from the Stoneridge Mall, issues surrounding the overall area, and report <br />writing needs. It should be noted that the Pleasanton/BART Joint Service Station is not a full-service <br />station and is a location for other officers to complete follow-up investigations, re-supply documents, <br />and other non-emergency services.97 <br />The Pleasanton Police Department is currently authorized to employ 83 sworn officers and 35 civilian <br />employees. There are currently approximately 1,047 citizens per sworn officer and the target ratio <br />would be a fully-staffed department with 83 sworn officers, which would reduce the ratio to 984 <br />citizens per sworn officer. On average there are 5 to 10 officers assigned to patrol Pleasanton at any <br />given day or time period. There are 6 to 10 employees on duty at any given time. The average <br />Pleasanton Police Department response time for the project area is 23 minutes and 43 seconds for <br />non-emergency calls for service and 3 minutes and 51 seconds for emergency calls for service.98 <br /> <br />95 Lacey, Aaron, Deputy Chief.
