Environmental Checklist and City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project Environmental Evaluation Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 82 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 Applicable Goals and Supporting Actions Project Consistency Building Standards Code. Include new requirements for shade trees, cool roofs, and landscape lighting. Achieve 25% beyond Title 24. Emissions related to electricity consumption by the proposed project would be further reduced as the electric utility complies with the Renewable Portfolio Standard, which requires utilities to increase its mix of renewable energy sources to 33 percent by 2020 and eventually 100 percent carbon-free by 2045. Additionally, the proposed project would comply with the California Green Building Standards Code, which includes requirements to increase recycling, reduce waste, reduce water use, increase bicycle use, solar panels, and other measures that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Supporting Action EC1-3: Modify municipal code to reduce heat island effects in the City by requiring light- colored paving material for roads and parking areas, as well as parking lot shade trees. Land Use and Transportation Goal 2: Improve Transit Systems and Ridership Consistent. Transit service in the project area is provided by Wheels, Pleasanton Paratransit and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). Continuous pedestrian connections are provided along the perimeter of the project site except for along Stoneridge Mall Road. The closest transit stop to the project site is near the intersection of Stoneridge Mall Road and McWillliams Lane, approximately 100 feet from the project site; therefore, it is expected that a portion of future project employees would use existing nearby transit facilities. Moreover, for employees who will principally drive to the proposed project, motor vehicle emissions associated with the proposed project would be reduced through compliance with state regulations on fuel efficiency and fuel carbon content. The regulations include the Pavley fuel efficiency standards that require manufacturers to meet increasing stringent fuel mileage rates for vehicles sold in California and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard that requires reductions in the average carbon content of motor vehicle fuels. Considering this information, the proposed project would not conflict with the City’s goals and strategies aimed to increase non-motorized mobility, improve transportation demand management, increase motor vehicle efficiency, or other goals aimed to reduce GHG emissions from transportation. Goal 3: Increase Non-motorized Mobility Supporting Action NM 1-1: Require appropriate bicycle- related improvements (i.e., work-place provision for showers, bicycle storage, bicycle lanes, etc.) with new development. Supporting Action NM 1-18: Preserve rights-of-way needed for local and regional roadway “complete streets” improvements and increased connectivity through dedication of land, as adjacent properties develop. Supporting Action NM 1-19: Modify municipal development codes to develop complete street standards to maximize transportation opportunities that serve all mobility modes. Goal 4: Improve Transportation Demand Management Goal 5: Increase Motor Vehicle Efficiency Solid Waste Minimization SW Goal: Establish Pleasanton as a Zero Waste Community by 2025 Consistent. The proposed project would comply with the California Green Building Standards Code, which includes requirements to increase recycling, reduce waste, reduce water use, Supporting Action SW 2-2: Develop community zero waste plan—75% diversion by 2015; 85% diversion by
