1.Project Description and Approach and will also address cumulative effects relative to other reasonably anticipated development,as well as project consistency with the regional air quality plan. The analysis will discuss the regional and local air quality setting,ambient air monitoring data, and current air quality management efforts. The analysis will identify the nearest sensitive air pollutant receptors to the rezone area—residences across Stoneridge Drive, to the south, and across 1-680,to the west—and any major existing sources of air pollutants, including those in the inventory data compiled by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District(BAAQMD). The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines significance criteria with regard to air quality impacts will be relied upon) The EIR analysis will discuss emissions likely to be generated during construction of subsequent development projects under the zoning amendment, evaluate the potential for construction dust to cause any local exceedances of ambient particulate standards,and estimate future criteria air pollutant emissions from vehicular traffic and onsite stationary sources. The SEIR analysis will identify, as feasible, what types and size of development would likely be of concern. Further, ESA will address diesel particulate matter(DPM),a toxic air contaminant(TAC), emitted from high-volume roadways and stationary sources, as well as construction equipment,that can cause health risk impacts. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and/or GPA EIR will be revised for their potential to reduce impacts at the project site. Additional mitigation measures for aesthetic, visual and scenic resources will be identified where necessary to reduce any significant effects. • Transportation and Circulation. ESA will team with Fehr and Peers (F&P)to prepare a transportation and circulation analysis for the E1R. ESA and F&P successfully provided the transportation analysis for the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning EIR. F&P's proposed scope of work is attached for the City's review(see Appendix B). Their analysis will include a review of the Citywide Traffic Model to ensure that the parcels are coded correctly. It will also include a traffic analysis that will look at 15 key intersections under Existing, Existing plus Project, Existing plus Approved Projects, Existing plus Approved Projects plus Project,Cumulative and Cumulative plus Project. The traffic analysis will identify any intersections that would be impacted under the build out of the proposed zoning revisions. The results of the traffic analysis will be presented in the EIR;a separate traffic study will not be prepared. Develop Alternatives As required by CEQA Guidelines Section I5126.6(a), an EIR shall describe a reasonable range of alternatives to a project, including an "environmentally superior"alternative and a"no project"alternative. The alternatives will be formulated based on project impacts,the alternatives discussed in the previous EIR(s)and input from City staff. Because the current project Although the BAAQMD significance criteria remain suspended pending a decision by the California Supreme Court in a lawsuit filed by the California Building Industry Association,these criteria are supported by substantial evidence in the form of BAAQMD's 2009 Thresholds and Justifications Report. 1-6 City or Pleasanton Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone EIR
