2 addition, the proposed project would include the removal of the existing paved roadway, the concrete drainage ditch, and a portion of on-site trees from the project site. The proposed project would include the subsequent development of a single-story 6,445-sf teppanyaki restaurant with a maximum capacity of up to 327 individuals. The restaurant building would be located in the southernmost portion of the project site and would include a kitchen, bar, dining room with nine cooking stations, lobby, office, bathrooms and utility room. A parking lot with a total of 43 stalls would be situated in front of the restaurant and would generally occupy the remainder of the site. new concrete V-ditch for drainage would be installed along the entire southern, eastern, and western boundaries of the site. A new bioretention area would be located along the northern boundary of the project site, adjacent to Dublin Canyon Road. Site access would be provided by a new driveway off the new paved road along the western boundary of the project site. The project would also include off-site improvements, such as construction of a new concrete sidewalk with trees and landscaping along Dublin Canyon Road. In addition, the existing private roadway located along the western boundary of the project site would be reconfigured and would include a new emergency vehicle turnaround. The proposed project will require City approval of the following entitlements: • Design Review; and • Tree Removal Permit. APPROACH Based on Raney’s review of the project materials and conversations with City planning staff, Raney proposes to prepare an IS/MND to analyze the potential environmental effects associated with the proposed project. The IS/MND will be prepared using the checklist contained in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines and the standard City of Pleasanton format. Raney anticipates that the potential impacts will be less-than-significant; therefore, the appropriate CEQA document will be an IS/MND. Raney will work closely with City staff throughout the preparation of the IS/MND and determination of appropriate findings. The IS/MND will provide a discussion of the impacts related to implementation of the proposed project. Raney anticipates that the key issue areas, which may require a more in-depth discussion in the IS, may include but not be necessarily limited to air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, biological resources, cultural resources, and geology and soils. Raney will utilize existing information for the project site and the City of Pleasanton to the greatest extent feasible, including the City of Pleasanton General Plan and General Plan EIR, technical reports prepared as part of the 2008 IS/ND, technical reports provided by the applicant team, technical reports to be prepared by Raney and its subconsultants, technical peer reviews of any available technical reports, and analysis prepared by the Raney team for evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. Raney assumes that any additional project information needed to facilitate the environmental review of the project will be supplied by the City or the applicant through the City. Raney will remain objective and rely on the City to make the ultimate determination on the conclusions and any mitigation measures. Raney firmly believes that the level of coordination between the City and the local citizens is directly proportional to the success of the project. Raney intends to work closely with the City of Pleasanton throughout the development and Docusign Envelope ID: 2A85D316-C052-4009-999F-38708C3D7EBCDocusign Envelope ID: 9E909BA3-E203-400F-8158-F382D9C3612B
