RANEY PLANNING & MANAGEMENT, INC. (#2025172)

6 Associates, under contract with the City. Raney will review the reports and the technical peer review to ensure that all CEQA issues have been accurately and adequately addressed and incorporate the analysis into the geology and soils section of the IS. If it is determined that additional analysis needs to be prepared for the project, Raney will coordinate with the City to determine the appropriate approach to updating the applicant-provided reports. Remaining Issue Areas The remaining issue areas of the IS/MND will be based upon information provided by the City of Pleasanton and or/the project team, as well as pertinent City of Pleasanton documents, including but not limited to the City of Pleasanton General Plan, General Plan EIR, and any other pertinent information prepared for the project site and surrounding area. With respect to noise, Raney anticipates that operational noise attributable to the proposed project will be minimal due to the grade differential between the site and adjacent properties; therefore, preparation of a noise study is not proposed at this time. Raney will evaluate construction noise based on typical noise levels from construction equipment and noise attenuation due to distance in order to determine anticipated noise levels at the nearest sensitive receptors. If the City requests a project-specific noise study, Raney will amend the scope of work, budget, and schedule to contract with a technical noise consultant. With respect to transportation, Raney will conduct a qualitative analysis of vehicle miles traveled (VMT). According to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research’s (OPR) Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (December 2018), because new retail developments typically redistribute trips rather than creating new trips. By adding retail opportunities into the urban fabric and thereby improving retail destination proximity, local- serving retail development tends to shorten trips and reduce VMT. Regional-serving retail development, on the other hand, which can lead to substitution of longer trips for shorter ones, may tend to have a significant impact. Raney will coordinate with the City to determine the best approach for VMT analysis. If the project is not eligible to be screened-out for VMT analysis, Raney will coordinate with the City to have a VMT analysis prepared. Raney will complete the following deliverables: • Review applicant-provided technical reports; • Prepare the introduction, project description, illustrations, and environmental checklist and discussion of the IS/MND; and • Submit one electronic copy of the Administrative Draft IS/MND to the City upon completion. Task 3 Prepare Screencheck Draft IS/MND and Prepare Public Review Draft IS/MND for City Release to the Public The objective of this task is to edit the Administrative Draft IS/MND based on the comments received from City staff to prepare a Screencheck Draft IS/MND. The City will then review the Screencheck Draft IS/MND to provide any additional comments. Raney will revise the Screencheck Draft IS/MND, based on any additional City comments, to submit a Public Review Draft IS/MND to the City for distribution. Raney assumes the City will publish the notice for the IS/MND in the paper, post the IS/MND online, and provide a copy of the notice and IS/MND to Docusign Envelope ID: 2A85D316-C052-4009-999F-38708C3D7EBCDocusign Envelope ID: 9E909BA3-E203-400F-8158-F382D9C3612B
