P11-0824(Downtown Hospitality Guidelines),P12-0798(Pleasanton Municipal Code Amendments) Initial Study and Negative Declaration f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip would n l l the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an © I adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? DISCUSSION a-h. The project does not involve the transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials. The project will not emit hazardous emissions or involve the handling of hazardous materials. The proposal would change the time trigger for when a Conditional Use Permit is required from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. for restaurants serving alcohol. This change is not anticipated to impact airport operations at the Livermore Municipal Airport or create airplane-related safety hazards to people residing or working in the area. Special events and hospitality uses, such as music, entertainment, and bars are already allowed Downtown. The underlying zoning map establishing where these uses may be located is not proposed to change. Increases in occupancy above Code, such as the Fire Code, are not proposed. These types of events and commercial land uses were addressed in the Pleasanton General Plan and its corresponding EIR. The Pleasanton General Plan EIR required no mitigation/improvement measures for hazards and hazardous materials and deemed all hazard and hazardous material impacts without mitigation as being less than significant, or of no impact. The Housing Element and CAP EIR does include mitigations related to sites 11 and 14 (in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Area) identified in the EIR. The mitigations relate to potential impacts to airport operations at the Livermore Municipal Airport or airplane-related safety hazards to people residing or working in the area. These mitigations will be implemented for projects proposed on sites 11 and 14 as applicable. The proposed project is not anticipated to create any new or additional impacts which have not already been studied in the Pleasanton General Plan and Housing Element and CAP EIRs. Therefore, these would be of less than significant impact. November 2,2012 31
