City of Pleasanton Proposal to Prepare a CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 Consistency Analysis for the 4212 and 4226 First Street Residential Project 4 required. Upon completion of the survey and analysis of results, Rincon will prepare a cultural resources letter report discussing the results of the records search, Native American scoping, and field survey. The DPR forms will be attached to the letter report and filed with the NWIC. The results of this assessment will be used to inform the CEQA analysis. Rincon understands that the City is proposing a general plan amendment for land use for this project. Under Senate Bill (SB) 18 (California Code Section 65352.3 and 65352.4), the CEQA lead agency is required to begin consultation with California Native American Tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site prior to the release of a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report. Rincon will request an SB 18 consultation list from the NAHC and will assist the City of Pleasanton with consultation under SB 18 by providing letter templates, checklists, and detailed instructions to help ensure meaningful consultation with interested Native American groups. NAHC requests are typically fulfilled in 4-8 weeks. This task does not include meetings, outreach, consultation or mailing letters to Tribal governments. Rincon assumes the City of Pleasanton will officially contact all applicable Tribes. Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Rincon will address potential risk of upset based on construction and operation of the proposed project. The analysis will include a review of client-provided documents (Phase I Environmental Site Assessment [ESA], Corrective Action Plan, and ACDEH Letter) and a review of regulatory records that are readily available from online database such as, but not limited to, Department of Toxic Substances Control (EnviroStor website), and State Water Resources Control Board (GeoTracker website) concerning past contaminant spills and/or cleanup activities within the proposed project area and adjacent properties. Preliminary review of the client-provided documents indicates that the Phase I ESA identified a closed leaking underground storage tank (LUST) case; current USTs, piping, and hoists; and deed restrictions associated with the subject property. Additionally, there are two other closed LUST cases nearby. The proximity of educational facilities and airports will also be researched for potential impacts. This proposal assumes that potential hazardous materials impacts would be sufficiently addressed with adherence to existing policies, regulations and ongoing processes. Transportation. Rincon assumes that the either 1) the project’s impacts can be determined to be within the transportation impacts assumed for the site as analyzed in the DSP EIR, or 2) the project will meet screening criteria that support a determination that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) impacts would be less than significant – e.g., the project would generate fewer than 110 trips per day and would be consistent with the General Plan (as amended by the proposed project). Alternatively, a transportation impact study may be added to our scope of work at an additional cost. The Draft Consistency Analysis will be in the format of a stand-alone report. Rincon will submit an electronic copy in Microsoft Word and PDF formats for City review and comment. We have scoped for two rounds of City review and have assumed that no major revisions or new analysis will be required. Task 3: Final CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 Consistency Analysis Rincon will address City comments on the Draft Consistency Analysis and prepare the Final Consistency Analysis. We assume that, consistent with the CEQA Guidelines, the document will not be specifically and separately circulated for public comment. If the City does circulate the document for public comment, Rincon can prepare responses or assist the City with responses.
