available here http://www.citvofpleasantonca.gov/JDEDZSEIRSept2015 evaluates the potential effects of the JDEDZ in a range of impact areas. Most impacts (aesthetics, noise, biological resources,cultural resources,geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, land use and planning, population and housing, public services and utilities, and recreation)would not be substantial. However, like most sizable land use changes in the Bay Area,the JDEDZ is expected to exceed air pollution levels established by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Similarly, without mitigation,the JDEDZ would result in traffic congestion in the area. Although these impacts are typical of large development projects in the region,the City is exploring all feasible means of mitigation, including transportation demand management programs to reduce overall vehicle emissions and traffic. A Fiscal Impact Analysis was proposed that analyzes the effects of the JDEDZ on City revenues and costs(see Appendix C of the DSEIR). Staff is currently undertaking an expanded study of the project's economic effects from a wider range of retail and commercial uses,which will be released to the public when it is available.The study will look broadly at impacts on local businesses and overall costs/benefits of the project to the community. This section of the FAQ will be updated when the Response to Comments and Final Environmental Impact Report are published. 11. How will the City ensure that required transportation improvements are implemented? As identified in the DSEIR,the JDEDZ may require construction of transportation system improvements, including new through and turn lanes along Stoneridge Drive and Johnson Drive and ® an expanded 1-680 northbound on-ramp. The financial responsibility for these improvements will be identified in the Development Agreement (DA), an agreement between a property owner and/or applicant and the City that specifies future investments to be made by the applicant in exchange for a right to develop a project. Because some of the freeway-related improvements require Caltrans (State) approval,the City will work closely with Caltrans to ensure the improvements are adequately designed and progress expeditiously through the approval process. 12. How is the City involving the public in decision-making about the JDEDZ? The City is undertaking an extensive public involvement effort to get input on the proposed JDEDZ and DSEIR. In addition to direct mailers, newspaper articles,Twitter notifications, Facebook posts, Nextdoor.com notifications,flyers posted at public facilities,verbal reminders at public meetings, and updates on the City's website,there are many opportunities to learn about meetings and provide comments on the JDEDZ. Previous and prospective meetings include: • April 15, 2014—City Council hearing to authorize initiation of the Economic Development Zone Program and pilot program on Johnson Drive (http://www.citvofpleasantonca.gov/JDEDZCCARApr152014) • September 23,2015—Planning Commission hearing to receive comments on the DSEIR (Staff Report: http://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/JDEDZPCSRSept2315); PowerPoint Presentation: http://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/JDEDZPCPPtSept2315) • October 22, 2015—Neighborhood Meeting on the JDEDZ(PowerPoint Presentation: http://www.citvofpleasantonca.gov/JDEDZNeighMtgPPtOct2215) 5
