The City of Pleasanton is willing to ensure that projects it approves contribute fair <br /> share mitigation cost for improvements in other jurisdictions but only if the other <br /> jurisdictions are also willing to reciprocate for projects within their jurisdictions that <br /> contribute considerably to traffic occurring within the City of Pleasanton. The <br /> strategy also may allocate mitigation responsibility to each jurisdiction for <br /> improvements within its jurisdiction on the understanding that each jurisdiction will <br /> be addressing the cumulative contributions from projects in neighboring <br /> jurisdictions. <br /> If a mutually agreeable strategy cannot be reached with the City of Livermore, City <br /> of Dublin and Alameda County, or any one of them, then the City of Pleasanton will <br /> not require the contribution of mitigations for contributions to impacts in any other <br /> jurisdiction unwilling to agree to reciprocity within the City of Pleasanton. This is <br /> because, under such circumstances, the City could not be assured that projects it <br /> approves are being assessed for mitigation only in proportion to their impact and <br /> because the City may need to require reallocation of the mitigation contribution to <br /> intersections and roadway segments within Pleasanton itself, lacking assurance of <br /> mitigation funding from projects that may be approved by other jurisdictions. In the <br /> event that a mutually agreed upon strategy is not reached, then mitigation of the <br /> Project's contribution to the impacted intersection or roadway segment would be <br /> infeasible, and the impact would be considered significant and unavoidable. <br /> Based on this cooperative agreement, the project developer will pay its share of <br /> costs of improvements in question in proportion to the benefits received. The fair <br /> share costs will be contributed to the local agency that has entered into an <br /> agreement with the City of Pleasanton when the local agency is ready to <br /> implement the improvements at issue, provided the aforementioned strategy has <br /> been mutually agreed upon by the City of Pleasanton and such other local agency. <br /> If a mutually agreeable strategy is reached, the project developer will provide for its <br /> share of the improvements in question prior to the issuance of a building permit for <br /> its project. Since the improvements may not be constructed for several years, the <br /> provision shall include an inflationary provision, as determined by the City <br /> Engineer. The total amount of the provision, the share of improvements plus the <br /> inflationary provision, shall be determined by the City Engineer. <br /> 18. Archaeological Resources. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit or building <br /> permit for the project, the project developer shall retain the services of a qualified <br /> archaeological consultant having expertise in California prehistoric archaeology. <br /> The archaeological consultant shall determine if planned development could <br /> potentially impact important archaeological resources and shall then design an <br /> appropriate archaeological monitoring program. Upon completing the <br /> archaeological monitoring program, the archaeological consultant shall submit a <br /> written report of findings first and directly to the Director of Community <br /> Conditions of Approval /PUD -57 <br /> Appendix Conditions <br /> 12 <br />
