F1.Project Description and Approach plan amendment and rezoning for the Johnson Drive site)would likely be the cause of new and/or more severe impacts, should any be identified. ESA will prepare a SEIR including a robust technical analysis of the identified key environmental issues. Based upon the RFP, for the purposes of this proposal ESA assumes that four issues—Aesthetics,Air Quality, Noise, and Transportation—will be fully analyzed in the SEIR, with the remainder of the environmental topics on the CEQA Checklist assumed to be discussed in lesser detail, in a separate section of the document. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and/or GPA EIR will be reviewed for the applicability to the proposed Johnson Drive project. This revised scope of work includes staff hours to update the SEIR project description and associated technical analysis completed to-date with the current project description. As set forth in the RFP, ESA will provide the City with five(5)copies of the ADEIR, as well as one unbound copy and an electronic copy. • Aesthetics/Light and Glare. The impacts of the rezoning on aesthetic,visual,and scenic resources will be evaluated, including potential loss of views and effects of increased lighting on motorists and residents in the City(and,potentially, residents of Dublin, immediately across Interstate 580). Policies and programs provided in the General Plan and standard City requirements will be evaluated as to their effect of mitigating or avoiding any potentially significant effects. 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. Visual Massing Simulations ESA will team with Environmental Vision to provide visual massing simulations for the proposed project in support of the Aesthetics analysis. The simulations would be completed from three public viewpoints and reflect before and after images of the project site. • Air Quality. The air quality analysis will focus on air quality effects primarily from increased traffic, including any identified health risk effects,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 I 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.
