Fire protection services are currently provided to the site by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br />Department (LPFD) through a joint powers authority agreement with the City of Livermore. <br />The nearest fire station to the project site is Station #2, located at 6314 Stoneridge Mall <br />Road, approximately 0.61-mile east of the project site. According to the City’s General <br />Plan, LPFD maintains 10 fire stations, half of which are located within the City along with <br />a training center. The LPFD employs an on-duty force of 18 personnel per day and <br />operates a total of 52 vehicles to maintain a response time goal of five minutes 90 percent <br />of the time. The General Plan EIR determined that buildout of the General Plan would <br />increase the overall demand on fire protection services, but that implementation of the <br />General Plan policies would ensure impacts related to fire protection services would be <br />less-than-significant. Because the proposed project would be consistent with the site’s <br />existing General Plan land use designations, development of the site with the proposed <br />uses and the associated increase in demand for fire services has been previously <br />anticipated by the City. In addition, the proposed building would include a fire sprinkler <br />system, which would decrease the likelihood of fire-related incidents at the site. <br /> <br />The Pleasanton Police Department (PPD) provides police protection services to the <br />project site. The City’s police department headquarters is located at 4833 Bernal Avenue, <br />approximately 3.93 miles southeast of the project site. According to the City’s General <br />Plan EIR, the PPD contains three divisions staffed by approximately 125 employees: <br />Operations, Professional Standards, and Investigations and Services.37 The PPD’s <br />average emergency response time is just over five minutes, while the average <br />nonemergency response time is almost 31 minutes. According to the General Plan EIR, <br />implementation of the General Plan Policies addressing urban design crime prevention <br />approaches would ensure that impacts associated with increased demand for police <br />protection services would be less than significant. 38 Because the proposed project would <br />be consistent with the site’s existing General Plan land use designations, development of <br />the site with the proposed uses and the associated increase in demand for police <br />protection services has been previously anticipated by the City. <br /> <br /> <br />37 City of Pleasanton.
