FIRSTCARBON 3U LW IU Task 4: Preparation of Administrative Draft IS/MND In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and Environmental Checklist questions (i.e.,Appendix G), FCS will prepare an Administrative Draft IS/MND for City staff and applicant review to assess whether the proposed project will have any potentially adverse environmental impacts and to identify measures for eliminating or reducing potential impacts to a level that is less than significant. Based on our discussions with City staff and the applicant,we concur that an MND is likely to be the required and is the appropriate level of CEQA documentation.The IS/MND format will include a discussion of each Environmental Checklist impact category and will be adequately supported by documentation.The following issues will be evaluated in the IS/MND: • Aesthetics • Mineral Resources • Agriculture and Forestry Resources • Noise • Air Quality • Population and Housing • Biological Resources • Public Services • Cultural Resources • Recreation • Energy • Transportation • Geology and Soils • Tribal Cultural Resources • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Utilities and Service Systems • Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Wildfire • Hydrology and Water Quality • Mandatory Findings of Significance • Land Use and Planning Each Environmental Checklist impact category will include analysis to evaluate consistency with applicable local regulations and guidelines, including the General Plan, Pleasanton General Plan 2005- 2025 EIR(General Plan EIR), City of Pleasanton Housing Site Development Standards and Design Guidelines, and exterior lighting performance standards.The following is a discussion of the Scope of Work for each issue not already described in Task 3, above. Aesthetics FCS will review aerial photography of the project site and the surrounding areas, as well as any renderings and elevations of the proposed project provided by the City and/or applicant.This scope assumes that the applicant will provide a rendering or visual simulation of proposed Building 1.The analysis will include an evaluation of potential impacts to views from publicly accessible areas, as well as analysis of potential impacts to visual character of the area, and an assessment of potential impacts related to light and glare. Agriculture and Forest Resources The project site is designated as Retail/Highway/Service Commercial Business and Professional Offices by the General Plan and is zoned C-R (p) (Regional Commercial—Peripheral Area).The site does not contain any agricultural resources, nor is there any ongoing agricultural uses in the immediate surrounding area. This scope assumes there would be no impact to agricultural and forestry resources. NORTH AMERICA 1 EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRAIJA I ASIA FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM 9
