Environmental Checklist and City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project Environmental Evaluation Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 138 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 Would the project: a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less than significant impact. As previously discussed in Section 2.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the proposed project would not impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan, such as the General Plan Safety Element, EMP, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The proposed buildings would be constructed in compliance with the California Fire Code and the 2016 Pleasanton Fire Code, and all driveways and internal roadways would be designed in accordance with the City’s Standards and Specifications guidebook to accommodate large emergency vehicles such as fire engines. The LPFD has provided service to the site over the past decades and the redevelopment of the site would not constitute a new impact on its ability to provide service. Furthermore, the proposed project is located approximately 250 feet west of LPFD Station No. 2, located at 6300 Stoneridge Mall Road, allowing for efficient response in the event of a fire. Consistent with the recommendations from the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (Appendix I), a TIA has been prepared for the proposed project and is included as Appendix J of this report. The TIA estimates that the proposed project would generate a total of 3,680 net-new daily trips. The TIA also includes recommendations to mitigate any traffic impacts as a result of implementation of the proposed project. These recommendations are included as MM TRANS-1 through MM TRANS-2 and are discussed in further detail in Section 2.17, Transportation. As such, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Additionally, prior to issuance of a building permit, the Applicant would be required to coordinate with the Building and Safety Division and the LPFD to ensure the project meets Building and Fire Code requirements and would submit the site plan and building information for use by the LPFD. In the event of an emergency, the most likely evacuation route would be I-680 via Stoneridge Drive. The proposed project would not involve any changes to evacuation routes and would not otherwise block or redirect any evacuation routes and would therefore not interfere with evacuation or otherwise conflict with an adopted emergency response plan or evacuation plan. Additionally, the proposed project would be required to pay the applicable capital facilities development fees, which partly fund fire department projects, pursuant to the City of Pleasanton Master Fee Schedule to offset any potential impacts of the project. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? No impact. The project site is relatively flat and level and does not contain slopes. The project site is currently developed and in an urbanized area; it is not surrounded by any vacant or undeveloped areas. The proposed project would not introduce new fuel sources and would not increase the risk of wildfire on the project site due to slope, prevailing winds, or other factors. CAL FIRE does not classify the site as being in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and the site is not located in a
