Related Experience Land Planning Hacienda Park Site 1 and Site 2. Mary Bean directed the preparation of an initial study analyzing an application submitted by BRE Properties, Inc. (applicant)to construct and operate two high-density residential/mixed-use developments at Sites 1 and 2 within Hacienda Park in the City of Pleasanton. The initial study analyzed the project within the context of prior environmental documents that in many cases addressed all potential impacts of the project as proposed.The prior documents included the City's General Plan EIR, Housing Element EIR, and several ordinances and a Settlement Agreement rela':ed to Hacienda Business Park. In all,four separate CEQA documents have been prepared that address in some manner the environmental effects related to the redesignation or rezoning of the project sites and/or the adoption of development standards specific to the project sites. Accordingly,the initial study made use of CEQA Section 15183 and PRC Section 21083.3 to streamline the environmental review process for qualifying projects consistent with applicable general plan, community plan, and zoning designations. High density residential project in San Mateo(Private client) Under Mary Bean's direction, Michael Brandman Associates(MBA) prepared an expanded initial study/addendum for a high density residential project in San Mateo, CA. The initial study/addendum analyzed all CEQA topic areas to confirm whether the revised project design would result in any impacts that were not disclosed in a prior mitigated negative declaration. Specific tasks included revising and refining the prior addendum prepared by the City of San Mateo to address all current CEQA topics and checklist questions, including new guidance relating to greenhouse gas emissions, agriculture,and transportation. MBA also revised and refined the prior addendum to reflect the new project site plan and incorporated summaries of all updated technical reports provided by the project applicant. Wherever needed, MBA strengthened the prior analysis to ensure legal defensibility. Page 1
