EXHIBIT E • THE CITY OF ttlll , 111 I. LE ASANTON® MEMORANDUM Subject: CEQA Substantial Conformity Analysis for PUD-104-1 M/PUD- 81-22-15M (Workday Inc. Project) Prepared by: Steve Otto, Senior Planner The City of Pleasanton has prepared the following substantial conformity analysis memo indicating that the currently-proposed Workday office project (Modified Project) is substantially similar to the Workday office project approved in June 2014 and, therefore, would result in similar or reduced environmental impacts compared to those identified in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted on May 20, 2014. Background In June 2014, Workday received City Council approval to construct a six-story, approximately 430,000 square foot office building, five-level parking garage, and surface parking on the BART property (6110 Stoneridge Mall Road) and construct either a four- or five-level parking garage and surface parking on the Stoneridge Corporate Plaza property (6120-6160 Stoneridge Mall Road). Other related site improvements would also occur on both sites (e.g., landscape modifications, tree removal, utility installation, stormwater treatment areas). The City Council found that all of the project-related impacts would be mitigated to a less-than-significant level, with the mitigation measures incorporated into the project's design or required by conditions of approval. The City Council adopted a resolution approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. Modified Project Workday later reevaluated the approved plan and determined that it should be refined to function more efficiently for Workday employees and meet Workday's environmental/sustainability objectives. As a result, Workday is proposing to modify its approved plan, resulting in a new office building design which is slightly smaller in floor area, the elimination of the parking garage on the Stoneridge Corporate Plaza property, a larger parking garage with basement parking on the BART property, and other related site changes. Similar to the approved project, vehicular access to the site would be provided from the five existing driveways (one on Stoneridge Mall Road and four on Embarcadero Court) and one new driveway on Stoneridge Mall Road that would be shared with the BART garage. 1
