To: Mr. Diego Mora Subject: Proposal to prepare CEQA documentation for the Hopyard Road Residential Project Date: September 13, 2023 DE NOVO P LA NNING GROU P 1020 SUNCAST LANE, SUITE 106, EL DORADO HILLS, CA 95762 britchie @denovoplanning.com | (916) 949 -3231 2 The analysis would focus on the project’s consistency with the City’s General Plan, the analysis contained in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), including any applicable mitigation measures, and any site-specific environmental impacts or cumulative impacts that may result from project implementation. It is our understanding that the project applicant has prepared several supporting technical reports, including: • Air Quality • Health Risk Assessment • Acoustical Analysis • Arborist Report • Geotechnical Investigation • Phase 1 ESA • Traffic Analysis memo • Biological Resources Analysis memo These reports will be used during the preparation of the Environmental Analysis. There are no stand- alone technical reports or studies included in this scope of work. Work Program The De Novo team will conduct a qualitative peer review of the applicant-prepared technical reports noted above. The peer review will focus on the approach, methodology, thresholds of significance , and conclusions in order to ensure that the technical analyses are suitable for use and reference during the preparation of the Environmental Analysis. The peer review will not include quantified verification of the analysis results (i.e., we will not “re-do” the math and modeling). This scope of work assumes that any identified deficiencies in the report would be addressed and revised by the applicant team and the original report preparers. The De Novo team will the prepare an Environmental Analysis, using the CEQA Appendix G Initial Study Environmental Checklist, that includes a discussion and analysis of any peculiar or site-specific environmental impacts associated with construction and operation of the proposed project. The Environmental Analysis will identify any applicable City of Pleasanton development standards and policies, applicable State and regional standards and policies, as well as any applicable mitigation measures or General Plan policies/actions identified in the General Plan EIR, that would apply to the proposed project during both the construction and operation al phases. The analysis will explain how the application of these uniformly applied standards, policies and mitigation measures would ensure that no peculiar or site - specific environmental impacts would occur. Upon completion of the administrative draft Environmental Analysis, De Novo will provide the City with an electronic review copy of the document and collaborate with City staff to determine the appropriate CEQA determination document for the project, based on the results of the analysis (which is anticipated DocuSign Envelope ID: FE1B6497-6527-4DEE-8F28-BF9999E929AA
