WORKPLAN Identify any known data gaps and make recommendations as appropriate for additional studies or data collection, if needed. Task 8.2 - CEQA Review The Plan area and surrounding property have been studied as part of other of Previously Prepared development and planning processes. As a result, technical studies exist that Technical Reports may provide useful information for the preparation of the HR. Before undertaking new analyses of the Plan Area, PCS will review existing technical studies. In some cases, for instance traffic counts and species surveys—the timing of information is critical. FCS will work closely with the City to identify which data and studies can be used to prepare FIR sections, and which studies must be refreshed or recreated. Wherever appropriate,we will utilize existing information that remains relevant and deg.ensible. Existing technical information includes but is not limited to the following: • Background Report prepared by Wayne Rasmussen • Background studies of the Plan Area prepared by Zone 7 and/or the prior owner • City of Pleasanton General Plan FIR • Zone 7 Stream Management Master Plan FIR • El Charro Specific Plan FIR • Staples Ranch Specific Plan FIR Subtask 8.3 - Notice of FCS will prepare a draft Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the project in the Preparation and Scoping appropriate City format. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15082, the NOP will Meeting include a brief project description including project exhibits and a discussion of environmental issues. FCS will reproduce 25 copies of the NOP and distribute 15 copies (CD/PDF) to the State Clearinghouse. The remaining 10 copies will be mailed to City staff.

Pursuant to the Public Resources Code Section 21083.9,a public scoping meeting shall be held during the NOP comment period to gather public and agency comments on the scope of the EIR. FCS will attend one scoping meeting at a location to be determined by the City. During the scoping meeting, FCS shall record all public comments and, if necessary, assist the City in responding to questions regarding the environmental compliance process/content of the FIR that might be raised by agency representatives and other interested parties.

Within one week of the Scoping Meeting,FCS will provide the City and Planning Team with an electronic summary of comments received at the meeting. FCS assumes that the City will provide it with a compiled list of all the NOP comments within 2 days of the close of the NOP review period. GATES Ca 'ASSOCIATES
