Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> a-f. No streams, rivers, drainage channels, etc. run through the site and, <br /> therefore, the project would not alter the course of any body of water. The <br /> site is generally flat, and the proposed drawings for the project indicate that <br /> drainage would be accommodated within the existing drainage system. <br /> The project would be required to incorporate best management practices <br /> (BMP's) during construction to minimize erosion and stormwater pollution. <br /> The project would be required to comply with all applicable stormwater <br /> runoff requirements. The project would not use a well to pump ground water <br /> for this project. The proposed carwash would recycle water to reduce <br /> stormwater runoff. Therefore, these would be less-than-significant impacts or <br /> no-impact. <br /> g-j. The project site is not located within the 100-year flood zone6 and the <br /> proposed project does not include any housing units. The project would not <br /> impede or redirect flood flows or expose people or structures to a significant <br /> risk of flooding. The project site is not in a location where the project would <br /> be subject to a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Therefore, these would be no- <br /> impact. <br /> 5.10. LAND USE PLANNING <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br /> The project site is currently occupied by a gas station with an automobile service <br /> building. It is located on the southeast quadrant of Santa Rita Road and W. Las <br /> Positas Boulevard. It is bordered on the west by Santa Rita Road and residential <br /> uses west of Santa Rita Road, on the north by W. Las Positas Boulevard and <br /> Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Station and residential uses; on the east by commercial <br /> uses (Santa Rita Square) and residential uses; on the south by commercial uses <br /> (Meadow Plaza); and on the northwest by Valley Medical Center, which is located <br /> on the northwest corner of Santa Rita Road and W. Las Positas Boulevard. <br /> STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br /> For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if <br /> the proposed project would: <br /> • Substantially alter an approved land use plan that would result in physical <br /> change to the environment. <br /> 31 <br />
