Mitigation Measure 4.D -lc: Will the project applicant(s) fund these improvements in full at the <br />time of project construction? If the city plans on funding these improvements, provide a pro - <br />forma analysis of the costs and benefits to Pleasanton taxpayers for funding the incentives. <br />2. Mitigation Measure 4.D -id: Will the project applicant(s) fund these improvements in full at the <br />time of project construction? The removal of wetlands in the Alamo Canal may result in <br />significant delays to obtain necessary permits. Since this mitigation will be under the jurisdiction <br />of Caltrans, how will the city manage this process to ensure timely completion? Will this <br />mitigation measure be constructed prior to construction of the EDZ? If the city plans on funding <br />these improvements, provide a pro -forma analysis of the costs and benefits to Pleasanton <br />taxpayers for funding the incentives. <br />3. What is the future impact of the proposed WB 1-580 to SBI -680 flyover to Mitigation Measure <br />4.D -id? Will the mitigations preclude or make more costly the flyover based on the newly <br />constructed bridges? <br />4. Mitigation Measure 4.D-2: What is the status and timing of these regional improvements? If <br />the regional improvements are not made in the near future after the project is constructed, the <br />impacts will not be mitigated and the community will suffer the traffic impacts until there are. <br />5. The Pleasanton General Plan Vision Statement stipulates that "Pleasanton is committed to <br />sustainable community principles and will meet the needs of the current generation without <br />compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." The General Plan goes on <br />to say "A sustainable city draws from the environment only those resources that are necessary <br />and that can be used or recycled perpetually, or returned to the environment in a form that <br />nature can use to generate more resources. Sustainability includes long-term fiscal health for <br />the City as well as conserving natural resources, reducing energy usage, and emitting fewer air <br />pollutants." The General Plan contains many Goals and Programs related to sustainability, <br />including a sampling below: <br />Land Use Element, Goal 1: Create a land use pattern that promotes resource <br />sustainability and environmental quality. <br />Circulation Element, Policy 15: Reduce the total number of average daily traffic trips <br />throughout the city. <br />Air Quality Element, Goal 2: Promote sustainable development and planning to <br />minimize additional air emissions. <br />P14-0852 and PUD -105, JDEDZ - Public Comments Provided for October 11, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting 57 <br />
