City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project Environmental Checklist and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Environmental Evaluation FirstCarbon Solutions 121 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480024/ISMND/wp/21480024 10x Genomics Project Full Screencheck ISMND.docx According to correspondence with the Pleasanton Police Department (Appendix I), it does not appear that the proposed project would negatively impact the Pleasanton Police Department’s current levels of service or response. No construction of new or expanded facilities is anticipated to be necessary in order to serve the propose project. As such, impacts would be less than significant. c) Schools? Less than Significant. The project site is within the boundaries of the Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD), which has 9 elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools. The nearest PUSD school to the project site is Lydiksen Elementary School, located 0.76 mile south of the project site. As discussed in Section 2.14, Population and Housing, the proposed project would not induce any unplanned population growth because the proposed project would not include any residential uses. Because the proposed project would not directly or indirectly induce any unplanned population growth, the number of public school students would not increase as a result of the project, and there would not be a need for new or physically altered governmental facilities. In accordance with SB 50 and related California laws, all new residential and commercial construction projects are required to pay developer fees to the PUSD before a building permit will be issued.99 The developer fees offset the costs associated with construction or expansion of school facilities, obtaining equipment, and the hiring and training of additional personnel. As part of the project entitlement process, the Applicant will be responsible for paying its share of developer fees. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. d) Parks? No impact. As discussed in Section 2.16, Recreation, the proposed project would not create the need for new or expanded parks or other recreational facilities because the proposed project would not include any residential uses that would directly or indirectly induce unplanned population growth. As a non-residential development, the proposed project would not result in a significant increased use of existing parks or park facilities as employees would use the City’s existing recreational facilities, including trails and athletic fields, significantly less often than residents. the nearest of which is Moller Neighborhood Park, located at 5500 Pleasant Hill Road, 0.27 mile southwest of the project site, and Muirwood Community Park, located at 4701 Muirwood Drive, 0.7 mile southeast of the project site. The General Plan aims to achieve a level of park facilities equal to 5 acres per 1,000 population or 0.005 acre per person. As noted previously, the City currently provides approximately 5.1 acres of improved neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 residents.100 The proposed project does not include any housing and would not therefore introduce new residents that could affect the City’s ability to maintain its parkland ratio. Additionally, the proposed project would pay the required Capital Facilities Fee to offset the potential use of recreational facilities by employees. No impact would occur. 99 Pleasanton United School District (PUSD). 2020. Developer Fees. Website: https://www.pleasantonusd.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=296967&type=d&pREC_ID=685581.
