City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project Environmental Checklist and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Environmental Evaluation FirstCarbon Solutions 129 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480024/ISMND/wp/21480024 10x Genomics Project Full Screencheck ISMND.docx need to generate no more than 12.9 VMT per employee if the East Planning Area average is selected as the target (0.85 of 15.2) or 13.5 VMT per employee if the Alameda County average is selected as the target (0.85 of 15.9). Based on the East Planning Area maps, the Travel Analysis Zone (TAZ) that is project is within generates an average of 11.71 VMT per employee. This is an indication of the expected VMT per employee associated with the proposed project. All other employment TAZs in the general project area generate less than 12.54 VMT per employee. Thus, the proposed project passes screening Criteria 2 and may be presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT. Criteria 3: The project site is within 0.5-mile of the West Pleasanton BART Station, as well as existing bus stops on Stoneridge Mall Road and Springdale Avenue, which qualifies as a high-quality transit corridor. Additionally, the proposed project would: • Have an FAR of greater than 0.75; • Provide 1,190 parking spaces for an estimated 1,415 employees, which corresponds to 0.84 spaces per employee, assuming employees would work alternating schedules. The City of Pleasanton’s Municipal Code Section 18.88.030 (Schedule of Off-Street Parking Space Requirements) indicates that the Zoning Administrator and/or Planning Commission shall establish parking requirements on a case-by-case basis for projects in a zoned CR-District. • Be consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Sustainable Communities Strategy; and • Would not replace any affordable residential units. Therefore, the proposed project also meets Criterion 3. Based on the screening criteria, as well as the proposed project’s location and proximity to high- quality transit, impacts would be less than significant impact pertaining to VMT. c) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. The proposed project would be constructed to meet existing City design standards. Access to the project site would be provided from three driveways, one on Springdale Avenue, one on Stoneridge Mall Road (north), and one on Stoneridge Mall Road (east). The site is currently served by four driveways; with the project, the existing northeastern driveway would be removed. Based on the conceptual site plan for Phase 1 of the proposed project, the eastern driveway on Stoneridge Mall Road into the project site is shown to be decommissioned. To minimize disruptions to the pedestrian travel way during subsequent phases of construction, the proposed project would construct the decommissioned project driveway at Stoneridge Mall Road to its ultimate width/dimensions, including curb ramps during Phase 1. Additionally, barriers would be provided to prevent vehicles from entering into the area during Phase 1. The intersection of Springdale Avenue at the Project Driveway operates within an acceptable LOS as an all-way stop intersection through project buildout. The proposed project would provide one
