Mundie & Associates works closely with Lead Agency staffto define the scope of each CEQA project appropriately, structure the research and reporting effort to achieve CEQA's disclosure objectives, and facilitate the use of the EIR for planning purposes through strategic formulation of alternatives. Environmental Impact Analysis of a Mixed-use Retail/Cinema Project ~' evaluation of potential impacts of a proposed project in downtown Redwood City that would provide 80,000 square feet of retail space and a 20-screen, 4,500-seat multiplex cinema on one block and a 988- space parking structure with approximately 36,000 square feet of retail space (including a specialty foods market) on a second block. Key issues were traffic, air quality, noise, cultural resources, visual impacts, and toxic/hazardous materials. M&A was instrumental in the formulation of project alternatives, one of which was selected by the City and the developer in lieu of the original proposal. EIR on Specific Plan with Residential and Golf Course Development ~ impact analysis of the Happy Valley Specific Plan in Pleasanton. Happy Valley is an unincorporated rural community adjacent to the City. Pleasanton proposed to annex the rural residential area and adjacent open space for the purpose of developing a municipal golf course. The proposal also included development sites for approximately 134 new homes, a new access road, and water and sewer service to the new development and to the existing residential community. Issues include infi'astructure, traffic, noise, biology, geology, and cultural resources. Following completion of CEQA review, the project was revised to focus on the municipal golf course. Environmental Impact of Specific Plan for Urban Expansion Area ~ Identification of environmental issues associated with the implementation of a specific plan in a 2,700- acm area at the southern edge of the City of Antioch. This EIR builds on an earlier EIR M&A had prepared on the infrastructure plan to extend public services to the area (formerly called Future Urbanization Area #1). Issues include residential density, visual effects fi.om a neighboring regional preserve, preservation of wildlife habitat and corridors, traffic congestion, and appropriate mix of non- residential uses. An 18-hole municipal golf course, proposed to be one of the project's key initial uses, is also being addressed by the environmental document (FEIR currently in preparation). EIR on Specific Plan for Mixed-Use Development ~ impact analysis of a proposed Specific Plan for the East Lone Tree Area (formerly Future Urbanization Area #2) in the City of Antioch. The 800-acre planning area is traversed by a ridgeline of hills, a division that would be reinforced by the construction of the State Route 4 Bypass (the "Delta Expressway") proposed to pass through the area. The plan called for a combination of office/light industrial, regional and community commercial, and residential uses. Key environmental issues included transportation, infi.astmcture, hydrology and visual impacts. This EIR was certified in 1996 and construction of the project is in progress. EIR on Specific Plan for a Major Development ~ assessment of impacts under California environmental law of a major mixed use project Pleasanton's Bemal site, within half a mile of the city's downtown. The site, adjacent to an interchange of 1-680 and traversed by the ACE commute train (with the possibility of an onsite station), was proposed for some 2,200 housing units and 750,000 square feet of employment and retail use.
