City of Pleasanton 3200 Hopyard Road Project 3 For environmental issue areas not covered in an existing study prepared for the project, Rincon will use readily available information and conduct impact analysis for the proposed project to make the appropriate impact findings. Examples of readily available information that will be consulted include the state maps of wildfire hazard zones, maps of state scenic highways, state farmland mapping, and state databases of hazardous contamination sites. Rincon will address each of the 21 CEQA issue areas listed in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines in the consistency checklist; however, the analysis will focus on key issues. Key issues are the issues which Rincon has tentatively identified as potentially present at the project site and most affected by the proposed project. The issues which Rincon has tentatively identified as key issues include:  Aesthetics  Air Quality  Biological Resources  Cultural Resources  Hazards and Hazardous Materials  Hydrology and Water Quality  Noise  Transportation Rincon’s proposed approach to key issue areas are described below. Generally, where appropriate, impacts will be quantified and compared to quantitative significance thresholds and/or the conclusions of the General Plan EIR. Rincon will demonstrate that the project’s impacts would be consistent with those studied in the prior documents through direct comparison of the proposed project with City’s General Plan land use and buildout assumptions modeled and discussed in the General Plan EIR. Aesthetics Currently the project site is mostly characterized by a single building with architecture typical of churches and flat, open areas suitable for parking. The project would demolish this and convert the site to nine residential buildings with outdoor amenities, changing the appearance of the project site. Rincon will consult site plans and elevations and the City’s General Plan EIR and the Pleasanton Municipal Code to determine whether the project may have a significant impact on aesthetics. This scope of work does not include preparing renderings or visual simulations of the proposed project. Air Quality The project has the potential to generate air quality criteria pollutants emissions from project construction and operation. The air quality analysis will analyze emissions for consistency with the City’s General Plan EIR, Bay Area Air Quality Management District 2017 Clean Air Plan, and Bay Area Air Quality Management District Guidelines. Emissions will not be quantified by Rincon. The quantity of emissions generated by the project will be derived from the applicant provided Air Quality Report (Ascent Environmental, March 2023). Biological Resources The project site is developed with a church and associated surface parking and not suitable habitat for special-status plants and wildlife. Additionally, due to the developed character of DocuSign Envelope ID: FE1B6497-6527-4DEE-8F28-BF9999E929AA
