Ponderosa Homes at 6900 Valley Trails Drive Initial Study and Negative Declaration provides about 5.1 acres of improved neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 population, according to the General Plan.16 DISCUSSION a.i-ii) The project may result in an incremental increase in police and fire service calls due to the addition of 36 households and operation of the clubhouse, but this would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts that would require new or expanded facilities. The site is an infill site, within an existing residential neighborhood, located approximately 2.5 miles from Fire Station No. 4 at 1600 Oak Vista Way. The project is located outside of the Special Fire Protection Area, where wildland fires are a concern. Adequate access to the development would be provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. Moreover, buildings are designed to meet the requirements of the California Building Code and other applicable City codes and all new buildings would be equipped with automatic fire suppression systems (sprinklers). Police and Fire service capacities exist to adequately serve the project and therefore the potential impact would be less than significant. a.iii) Based on the School District's student generation factors, the project may add approximately 2517 school-age children. The project sponsor has entered into an agreement with the Pleasanton Unified School District to mitigate the impact of the project. As a condition of approval, the developer would contribute funds to the School District to offset the project's impact to school facilities. Funds may be used towards the construction and/or procurement of classrooms. As a result, the potential impact would be less than significant. a.iv-v)The project may result in an incremental increase in the use of parks and public facilities, such as libraries, but would not result in substantial adverse effects or require the construction of new facilities. The project includes land dedication, a tot lot, and landscaping improvements to the adjacent Valley Trails Park. (The parkland dedication granted to the City is analyzed in Section 5.15 below.) Additionally, the project includes open space areas (used as bioretention basins) that would abut Valley Trails Park; the project sponsor is required to maintain this new private open space area. As a result, the potential impact would be less than significant. 16 City of Pleasanton. Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025, Public Safety Element.
