Pi»rlico Drive Turrroat rrr:r! Pipeline Project Environmental Checklist <br />Standards of Significance <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed <br />project would: <br />• Substantially alter or degrade the existing visual character or quality of the project site; <br />• IIave a substantial effect on a scenic resource; or, <br />• Substantially increase light or glare in the project site or vicinity which would adversely <br />affect day or night time views. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ssues <br />Potentialh <br />Significant <br />Impact Less than <br />Significant <br />with J1itigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less than <br />Significant <br />Impact <br /> <br />No <br />Impact <br />Aesthetics <br />Would the project: <br />a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic ~ ~ ~ ~X <br />vista? <br />b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including ~ ~ ~ ~X <br />but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and <br />historic buildings within a state scenic highway`? <br />c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character ~ ~ ~X <br />or quality of the site and its surroundings? <br />d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare ~ ~ ~X <br />which would adversely affect day or nighttime <br />views in the area`? <br />Discussion <br />a, b) No Impact. The project facilities are located within or adjacent to local roadways. The <br />project is not located in an area designated as a scenic resource, scenic vista, or scenic <br />highway (City of Pleasanton 1996). Therefore, this would be no impact. <br />c) Less than Significant. Temporary changes to the existing visual character of the project <br />will occur due to the presence of construction equipment and construction-related <br />activities. Upon completion of the project, all site disturbances from construction will be <br />returned to preconstruction activities. This would be a temporary, minor effect, therefore <br />this would be less than significant. <br />The project water transmission pipeline will be located within roads and in a planter box <br />over the 7.one 7 channel and will not affect the visual character of the residential <br />neighborhoods and commercial businesses adjacent to Pimlico and Brockton drives. The <br />'Lone 7 turnout and City of Pleasanton vault will be located below grade within public <br />right-of-way and not affect the existing visual character of the adjacent residential area. <br />Crty of Pleasanton 16 Winzler & Kelly <br />Draft Inrttal Study/Proposed Negative Declaration August 2006 <br />04?63501 <br />
