Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan EIR Scope of Work Maps, graphics, tables, and charts will be used to depict clearly the location and nature of any potential significant impacts identified in the Draft EIR, and any other relevant information. Specific topic areas expected to be addressed in the Draft EIR are summarized below: • Aesthetics (D&B). Analyze impacts on visual resources following standards of professional practice for aesthetic analysis. The likely key potential impacts associated with the Specific Plan include the change in visual character of the area with redevelopment,which will be assessed at a qualitative level relative to the existing conditions. • Air Quality (D&B). Analyze air quality impacts consistent with all applicable procedures and requirements of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). Assess consistency of the Specific Plan with the regional Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Clean Air Plan, with reference to population and employment forecasts as well as trends in vehicle miles traveled. Describe existing air quality conditions, estimate air quality impacts associated with implementation of the Specific Plan,providing separate emission inventories for each, and identify mitigation measures for each. Use CaIEEMod to estimate emissions of ozone precursors (reactive organic gases [ROGs] and nitrogen oxides [NOX]), carbon monoxide (CO), and inhalable particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.$) emitted by vehicles operated on existing roadways under both existing conditions and future buildout conditions. Evaluate construction emissions at a programmatic level for.the Specific Plan, and provide mitigation measures. Identify Specific Plan goals, policies,and objectives that will minimize potential health-related impacts) • Biological Resources (D&B). Any biological resources in the Planning Area are likely to be limited to Arroyo del Valle, which has been highly modified from its natural state. Conduct a California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) search for presence of special status species. Evaluate the project's effects on identified biological resources,and recommend mitigation as warranted. • Cultural, Tribal, and Historic Resources (D&B). Assess potential impacts to cultural and historic resources as a result of implementation of the Specific Plan. Conduct a records search at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC), and consult the City's Historic Resource Property survey to identify any known archaeological and historic resources within the Planning Area. Tribal cultural resources will be addressed, pursuant to requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 18 and Assembly Bill (AB) 52. Assess potential adverse impacts to resources and identify standard mitigation measures. For any identified adverse impacts, include mitigation or recommended policies for future development within the Planning Area. • Geology and Seismicity (D&B). Review available geologic and seismic hazard mapping to describe of existing conditions in the Planning Area. Analyze This Scope of Work does not include dispersion modeling. 3
