<br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />The Modified IS Checklist prepared by Raney for the above purposes will be based on the <br />Appendix G format and will analyze the potential effects associated with the proposed project. The <br />modifications that will be made to the checklist sections will generally consist of additional <br />questions related to conditions in Section 15183. For example, a question will be added to each <br />checklist section regarding whether a particular environmental effect was analyzed as a significant <br />effect in the City of Pleasanton General Plan EIR. Raney will work closely with City staff <br />throughout the preparation of the Modified IS Checklist and determination of appropriate findings. <br />The Modified IS Checklist will provide a discussion of the impacts related to implementation of <br />the proposed project. <br /> <br />Consistent with Public Resources Code (PRC) 21083.3, a lead agency shall require the undertaking <br />of any feasible mitigation measures specified in the prior environmental impact report relevant to <br />a significant effect which the project will have on the environment. The lead agency shall make a <br />finding, at a public hearing, as to whether those mitigation measures will be undertaken. To this <br />end, the Modified IS Checklist for the proposed project will include General Plan EIR mitigation <br />measures applicable to the project’s significant environmental effects. <br /> <br />Raney anticipates that the key issue areas, which may require a more in-depth discussion in the IS, <br />may include but not be limited to, air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, cultural <br />resources, noise, and transportation. Raney will utilize technical reports prepared by the applicant <br />team and peer reviews of the applicant reports, existing information for the project site including, <br />but not limited to, the City of Pleasanton General Plan and associated EIR, as well as other <br />environmental documents prepared for projects in the area, as applicable. Raney intends to work <br />closely with the City of Pleasanton throughout the development and processing of the Modified IS <br />Checklist. Raney will remain objective and rely on the City as the lead agency to make the ultimate <br />determination on the conclusions and mitigation measures. The expectation of Raney is that we <br />will serve as environmental consultants to the City, and will make ourselves available to assist the <br />City to facilitate the process. <br /> <br />Technical Reports Provided by the Applicant Team <br />Raney understands the following technical reports have been provided by the applicant team for <br />use in the CEQA analysis: <br /> <br />• Air Quality Technical Report and Health Risk Assessment (August 2023) – Ascent <br />Environmental; <br />• GHG Emission Compliance Checklist (July 2022); <br />• Arborist Report (May 2023) – Buena Vista Tree Service; <br />• Biological Resources Analysis Memorandum (July 2023) – Monk and Associates; <br />• Geotechnical Investigation (August 2023) – Cornerstone Earth Group; <br />• Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Limited Soil Quality Evaluation <br />(September 2022) – Cornerstone Earth Group; and <br />• Environmental Noise Study (September 2023) – Coffman Engineers. <br /> <br />Raney also anticipates receiving a level of service (LOS) analysis from the applicant team for use <br />in comparing the proposed project’s LOS results with the LOS analysis included in the General <br />Plan EIR. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 3FA212B2-C9C9-4BE6-8FD2-66034B064F8CDocuSign Envelope ID: FE1B6497-6527-4DEE-8F28-BF9999E929AA
