Appendix A - EIR Noticing and Public Involvement COMBINED

Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project EIR Gty of Pleasanton Notice of Preparation Council's discretion so long as the total·annual citywide limit on new residential units for the year of application is not exceeded. • Development Plan and Rezone-The eastern portion of the project site would be rezoned from unincorporated and Prezoned-Agriculture to PUD-LDR/OS-PH/AG/PR (Planned Unit Development-Low Density Residential/Open Space) District and PUD Development Plan. The applicant seeks approval to demolish two existing homes and construct two new single- family homes between Dublin Canyon Road and the proposed staging area, and construct a gated development with 29 two-story, single-family homes, private open space, and related project site improvements. • Vesting Tentative and Final Subdivision Map -The subdivision would include homes in two distinct clusters. Twenty-nine homes would be located within the central portion of the project site. Two residential parcels would accommodate new single-family homes to replace the existing single-family residences at 11033 and 11021 Dublin Canyon Road. Additionally, two EBRPD parcels and four private open space parcels would require subdivision. • EIR Certification -Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162, the City has determined that an EIR is required for the proposed project based on anticipated environmental issues. Potential Environmental Effects of the Proposed Project Consistent with the 2019 CEQA Statute and Guidelines, the EIR will evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the proposed project. Specifically, the following environmental resource categories will be fully analyzed within the EIR: Aesthetics Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources Geology and Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Hazards, Hazardous Materials, and Wildfire Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Noise Public Services and Recreation Transportation Utilities and Service Systems All of the resource categories listed above will be considered in the EIR; however, given the location and conditions on the project site, the following issues will be central to the environmental analysis: • Aesthetics -The project site layout would reduce visibility of the homes from public vantage points. Regardless, analysis of the visual impacts of the proposed project, including preparation of visual simulations from public vantage points, is required. • Air Quality -The EIR will include an evaluation of construction-period toxic air contaminant to assess potential construction health risks for local residents. The EIR will also include an evaluation of operational air quality effects. FirstCarbon Solutions 4
