• Police Substation: As a benefit to the community, Workday would construct a small addition and remodel on the ground level of the BART parking garage for a joint BART and City of Pleasanton police substation. The applicant has collaborated with Police Department staff regarding their needs for the space. A drive aisle and parking space for police staff would be installed along the west side of the BART garage that would connect to the adjacent office parking lot at 6000 Stoneridge Mall Road. • Development Agreement: A development agreement is proposed to vest the entitlements for the project (Attachment 3). The term of the development agreement would expire in 10 years. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 23, 2014, to review the proposed project. Detailed information on this meeting is provided by Attachment 5, draft excerpts of the Planning Commission minutes. Two representatives from Citizens for a Caring Community expressed concern with the elimination of Windstar's 350 apartment units and with the modeling in the project's air quality assessment. After receiving public testimony, the Commission recommended approval of the applications on a 3-0 vote subject to staffs recommended conditions. DISCUSSION Staff is pleased with the site layout and building design and believes that all of the project's impacts have been adequately mitigated. The attached Planning Commission staff report presents a more thorough discussion of the project, including: General Plan conformity, zoning and uses, consistency with State housing law, site plan, traffic and circulation, parking, noise, architecture and design, grading and drainage, signage, Green Building, Climate Action Plan, landscaping, tree removal, public's use of the private landscaped area, and development agreement. This report includes additional discussion regarding the air quality assessment and its modeling. Air Quality Assessment An air quality assessment was conducted for the project (Attachment 4, Exhibit B) to determine whether the proposed project could result in potentially significant air quality impacts. Following the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) California Environmental Quality Act Air Quality Guidelines, the air quality assessment determined that the project's operational emissions would not exceed BAAQMD's significance thresholds and would be considered a less-than-significant impact. With respect to construction-related air quality impacts, the air quality assessment determined that construction-related emissions would not exceed BAAQMD's significance thresholds, but indicated that nearby receptors could be impacted by dust generated during construction activities unless mitigation measures are implemented to reduce dust generated by the project (e.g., water unpaved access roads twice daily, cover all trucks transporting soil, limit vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph, etc.). The project has been conditioned to implement the mitigation measures. Page 7 of 10
