~ Exhibit A The measures will be organized by issues (i.e., traffic, biology, hydrology, etc.) and then by when they should be implemented. The implementation phases should correspond to the development process and its milestones: upon submittal of the tentative plan map, upon recordation of the final plan map, upon issuance of the building permit, upon issuance of the occupancy permit, and then upon established intervals after occupation. Field monitoring is essential to determine whether the measures have been implemented and are working. Each of these elements will be put into a tabular format for ease of review and verification. Deliverables: Draft and Final Mitigation Monitoring And Reporting Program. Task 10: Statement of Overriding Considerations Purpose: If necessary, prepare a Statement of Overriding Considerations to show that the benefits of the project outweigh the significant and unavoidable impacts of the project. Discussion: Prior to approving a project, the City decision makers are required to make deliberate findings. The City must consider the environmental consequences of the proposed project before taking action on the project. As described m CEQA, if the proposed project has one or more significant and unavoidable impacts, one of the findings that must be made prior to project approval is that the City recognizes that the project will result in unmitigable significant effects but that benefits of the project outweigh those unavoidable impacts. Previous significant and unavoidable impacts identified for the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan still apply to the Staples Ranch: change in the character of the land use from agricultural to urban mixed development, with a loss of open space and diminishing of the visual separation between Livermore and Pleasanton along the 1-580 corridor; loss of prime agricultural soils; and loss of wildlife habitat and resultant decrease in species number, diversity, and mobility. These impacts, plus any additional significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project will be included in a draft statement of overriding considerations in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15021. This statement will identify the significant and unavoidable effects as well as the benefits to the community. This draft will be provided to the City for completion and distribution as part of the resolution to take action on the proposed Specific Plan amendment. Deliverable: Draft Statement of Overriding Considerations. Task 11: Attend Certification Meetings Purpose: meetings. To attend the certification Discussion: EIP will attend and participate as requested in one session with the Pleasanton Planning Commission and one meeting before the Pleasanton City Council for certification of the SEIR. Meetings: One Planning Commission and two City Council meetings. EI P Associates 2-19
