City of Pleasanton 475 and 493 St. John Street Mixed-Use Project 54 Conclusion Noise impacts during construction and operation would be less than significant, similar to the impacts determined in the Final EIR. No significant new or substantially increased noise impacts would occur compared to the original project. 5.11 Public Facilities and Recreation Impacts Identified in the Certified Final EIR The Final EIR determined that implementation of the DSP would not result in the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities. The Final EIR reports that the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department does not foresee a need for new or expanded facilities to accommodate planned growth within the DSP area, and existing City policies and regulations would reduce the number of calls for fire protection services by minimizing fire risks. Therefore, the DSP would not require new or physically altered fire protection facilities. The City adopted the Pleasanton Civic Center/Library Master Plan in 2016, which outlines the City’s plan to construct a new civic center and library outside of the DSP area. The Final EIR reports that the Pleasanton Police Department does not foresee the need for new or expanded police protection facilities beyond those already planned to accommodate buildout of the DSP. Therefore, the DSP would not require new or physically altered fire facilities. The Final EIR estimated that the DSP would facilitate an increase of 95 school-aged children. Because the Pleasanton Unified School District anticipated a student population increase at the time the Final EIR was prepared, and because development in the DSP area would be required to pay a School Facility Impact Fee, the Final EIR concluded that impacts to school facilities would be less than significant, and the DSP would not require new or physically altered school facilities. The DSP would include additional parkland, and the population increase facilitated by the DSP would not cause the City to fall below its target of five acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. Therefore, the DSP would not require new or physically altered park and recreational facilities. Overall, the DSP would not result in the need for new or physically altered governmental or recreational facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, or other public facilities. The Final EIR determined that impacts would be less than significant. Impacts of the Barone’s Project As discussed in Section 4.9, Land Use, Population, and Housing, the proposed project would not induce a substantial, unplanned increase in population or housing units within the DSP area. The project’s anticipated increase in population and housing units was accounted for in the Final EIR for the DSP. As discussed in the Final EIR and summarized above, the DSP would not require new or physically altered governmental facilities or park and recreational facilities. Therefore, the project would also not require new or physically altered governmental facilities or park and recreational facilities. Impacts would be less than significant.
