Hacienda Mixed Use Rezoning Initial Study This Initial Study Negative Declaration consists of an environmental checklist, a brief explanation of topics addressed in the checklist, and a determination that an EIR is not required. This Initial Study refers to the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Pleasanton General Plan 2005 -2025 "Pleasanton General Plan EIR. The Pleasanton General Plan EIR analyzes buildout of the Planning Area without considering interim buildout. This project has been analyzed in the Pleasanton General Plan EIR as part of the Concentrated Development /Transit Oriented Development Alternative. This Initial Study analyzes project specific environmental impacts due to changing the zoning on three sites in Hacienda. For each potential impact topic, this Initial Study first summarizes the Pleasanton General Plan EIR impacts, if applicable, and incorporates them by reference. Then this Initial Study evaluates specific impacts associated with the currently proposed rezoning, and identifies any potential impacts not previously addressed in the Pleasanton General Plan EIR. Additional mitigation measures, if warranted, to reduce some impacts to a less than- significant level or to be carried forward for evaluation in a Supplemental or Subsequent EIR will also be included herein. No actual development of the subject sites to be rezoned is proposed at this time, and any proposal involving residential or mixed use development would be subject to a separate public review process and further, more refined environmental review under CEQA. 2. Project Location and Context The three project sites are located within Hacienda in the City of Pleasanton as shown in Figure 1 (following page 4) and as described below: 1. The W.P.
