Environmental Checklist and City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project Environmental Evaluation Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 128 FirstCarbon Solutions Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480024/ISMND/wp/21480024 10x Genomics Project Full Screencheck ISMND.docx improvements at the intersection of Stoneridge Mall Road at Fabian Court to improve access to the project site to/from the BART station. A Class IV facility would be required to be constructed along the south side of Stoneridge Mall Road from Springdale Avenue to Fabian Court. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements would be required to be constructed at the intersection of Springdale Avenue and Stoneridge Mall Road to provide safe and convenient access for nonmotorized travel across the intersection’s’ southern approach. With implementation of MM TRANS-3, impacts related to bicycle facilities would be less than significant. b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? Less than significant impact. The City of Pleasanton has yet to develop VMT guidelines, therefore the OPR recommendations were used to assess VMT impacts. The OPR guidance suggests the use of screening criteria to assess whether land use development projects can be presumed to have a less- than-significant impact on VMT. Three of these screening criteria are relevant to the proposed project: 1. Small Projects: Projects that generate fewer than 110 vehicle trips per day may be presumed to have a less-than-significant impact on VMT. 2. Map-Based Screening: Residential and office projects that are located in areas with low VMT based on maps created with existing VMT data may be presumed to have a less-than- significant impact on VMT. 3. Near Transit Stations: Projects that are within 0.5-mile of an existing major transit stop 107 or an existing stop along a high-quality transit corridor 108 may be presumed to have a less-than- significant impact on VMT, except in cases where the project: - Has a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of less than 0.75; - Includes more parking for use by residents, customers, or employees of the project than required by the jurisdiction (if the jurisdiction requires the project to supply parking); - Is inconsistent with the applicable Sustainable Communities Strategy (as determined by the lead agency, with input from the Metropolitan Planning Organization); or - Replaces affordable residential units with a smaller number of moderate- or high-income residential units. Criteria 1: The proposed project would generate over 3,680 net-new vehicle trips per day and so does not meet Criterion 1. Criteria 2: VMT per employee maps have been prepared for the East Planning Area by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (CTC), which includes the project site, as presented in Appendix J of this report. The existing average vehicle miles traveled per employee in the East Planning Area is 15.2 miles and in Alameda County is 15.9. Based on the significance Criteria 1, the proposed project would 107 A major transit stop is a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. 108 A high-quality transit corridor is a corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.
