The proposed square Footage breakdown would be as follows: retail-68,880; restaurant-6,500. COPIES TO: Applicant Property Owner Project File Project Planner ITEM NO. ~~ G:\PA#\2000\00-020\PC Staff Report.doc Background: The Shamrock Village was constructed in approximately the late 60's as a neighborhood serving retail center. Currently, the tenants which currently occupy the Center, include: Tenant Name S uare Feet Use T e Gin iss Fom~alweaz 3,800 Retail: Fomralwear World of Shoes 8,400 Retail: Shoe Store Dou h Bo Donuts 1,100 Food Service Villa e Pet Sho 1,200 Retail: Pet Store Galla her's Pub 2,200 Bar/Restaurant Vacant 1,080 Retail Sales/Restaurant Ho 's Breath Barber 825 Personal Service: Barber Sho Ele ant Nails 900 Personal Service: Nail Salon Round Table Pizza 2,750 Restaurant Dublin Buffet 3,800 Restaurant Vacant 2,000 Retail Sales/ Restaurant Monument Auto Parts 7,000 Retail Sales Koto's Restaurant 2,000 Restaurant Dublin Dinettes 4,800 Retail Sales Vacant 2,000 Retail Sales/Restaurant Goodwill Industries 5,679 Retail Sales The anticipated tenant for the 45,000 square foot grocery store is Ralphs which plans to relocate from their current location at 7193 Regional Street. The existing Ralphs store is 25,000 squaze feet in size and is located adjacent to Longs Drugs, drug store. The current zoning for the subject property is C-1 (Retail Commercial Zoning District) which is intended for the development of retail commercial use types. General Retail uses (which include grocery stores) are principally permitted within the C-1 zoning district. In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the proposed project, to advertise the project and the upcoming public hearing. A public notice was also published in the Tri-Valley Herald and posted at several locations throughout the City. As of the mailing of this staff report the City has received no objections from surrounding property owners or occupants regarding the cunent proposal. 1987 Downtown Specific Plan The 1987 Downtown Specific Plan, designated this property as Zone 9 (Commercial Zone), appropriate for additional commercial development. The Specific Plan stated that retail uses aze principally permitted and additional retail development is appropriate for this site. Project Site Location The project site is located between Amador Valley Boulevard and Starward Drive. The project site contains approximately 5.7 acres of land which is owned and controlled by Doerken Properties. Surrounding land uses to the north include the Starward Drive residential area which include 31-single family residential units which were recently constructed and which back directly to the project area. Nine of these units back immediately adjacent to the subject property and are separated by a 6 foot high masonry sound wall. Immediately to the west of the project is the MacFrugal's retail building which contains approximately 20,000 square feet of floor area. Other existing uses located within the same shopping center are Foster's Freeze and Casa Orozco located to the southwest and the emergency medical care facility located to the east. (MacFrugal's, Casa Orozco, Foster's Freeze and the emergency medical care facility although are located within the Shamrock Village shopping center, aze on sepazate parcels which aze owned by separate owners and for that reason aze not part of this application). ANALYSIS Project Description: The proposed project consists of remodeling the exterior of the shopping center and adding 25,846 square feet of building area to the existing 49,534 of building area. The center will be accessed from two points along Amador Valley Boulevard, one point along San Ramon Road, and one from Starwazd Drive. The main entrance will be at the signalized intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and Regional Street. This entrance will provide an attractively landscaped entry with enhanced colored sidewalks in front on the proposed grocery store and retail space. A pad building (2,880 square feet) would be located at the corner of the main entry and Amador Valley Boulevard. The stucco finished buildings have been designed with a variety of elements to create visual interest including fabric awnings, metal canopies, translucent canopies, painted ornamental metal work, and stone. A contoured arched canopy has been utilized over the grocery store to provide a design relationship to the existing MacFrugal's building. The proposed building colors consist of complementary rich earth tone colors which highlight the buildings undulation. The rear of the building, which faces the residents along Starward Drive, has been heavily treated with varying architectural elements to the soften the building. In addition to the architectural elements, a heavily landscaped strip between the building and the street will provide for additional visual separation. Noise The primary source of noise generated by retail/gocery stores are delivery trucks. The noise generated by delivery trucks depends primarily on the type of truck. The proposed grocery store would have four general product delivery per day, which generally would occur between the hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and would be accomplished with a 65-foot long, 18 wheel, tractor-trailer truck. Additional deliveries from separate vendors and delivery services would occur up to 15 times during the business day by way of smaller step-down vans (up to 18 feet in length) and delivery trucks (up to 35 feet in length). Noise from delivery trucks ranges typically from 60 to 80 dBA measured at a distance of 50 feet. The project loading dock azea would be approximately 40 to 80 feet from the backyazds of the nearest Starwazd residences. Though delivery truck noise at the project site would be at or below the existing noise levels generated by existing delivery truck traffic in the area, these noise levels could be potentially significant unless mitigated, especially if deliveries occur during quieter nighttime hours. To account for potentially significant noise impacts caused by delivery truck traffic, loading dock activities, and nighttime operation of roof-top mechanical equipment and to ensure that such impacts aze reduced to a less than significant level, the following mitigation measures were made part of the Mitigated Negative Deceleration (See Section X in the Initial Study, Attachment 4) and have been incorporated into the project as conditions of approval: 3 Mitigation Measure 6a: Truck deliveries, should be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. These hours should be posted at the loading dock in conspicuous locations. Mitigation Measure 6b: The loading dock shall be enclosed with a roof and rolling door(s). All large truck deliveries shall utilize the enclosed loading dock. Large trucks making deliveries to this loading dock shall close the loading door once the truck is inside. In lieu of enclosing the structure with a solid roof, an Acoustical Noise Consultant shall certify that noise emitted from the loading dock will not increase outdoor noise levels of the adjacent residential areas in excess of 60 to 70 dBA. Additionally, an Acoustical Noise Consultant shall certify that the design of the loading dock will not cause noise from loading dock activities, occurring during quieter nighttime hours, to exceed existing ambient noise conditions in the backyards of the nearest residences. Mitigation Measure 6c: All mechanical equipment should be designed so that the total noise generated by such equipment does not exceed the existing average hourly daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) Ley measurements. Mitigation Measure 6d: All construction activities on the project site shall be limited to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless alternative hours are approved by the Dublin Building Official for structural construction and the City Engineer for grading activities. Construction equipment, including compressors, generators, and mobile equipment, shall be fitted with properly working mufflers. Parking The proposed project's parking demand has been calculated based on City code requirements for general retail and restaurant. The retail rate requires one pazking space per 300 squaze feet of gross leasable area (GLA) and restaurants require one pazking space per 100 squate feet. Based on 75,380 square feet of retail shopping center, the off-street parking requirements has been calculated as follows: 68,880 square feet general retail x 1 space/300 square feet = 230 pazking spaces; 6,500 square feet restaurant 1 space/100squaze feet = 65 parking spaces. Based on the off-street parking calculation for the proposed retail use, the project's parking supply of 295 would meet the City's pazking code requirement (230+65=295). Traffic: The applicant is requesting a right-turn in and right-turn out only on San Ramon Road, to be located north of MacFrugal's. Public Works Staff has reviewed and approved the proposal, subject to the applicant securing a dedicated right-turn lane along the San Ramon Road frontage. The existing effective height of the masonry wall along the northern property line shall be maintained. In the event that the effective height of the masonry wall is reduced the applicant shall obtain written approval from the Starward Homeowner's Association to increase the height of the wall to maintain the existing 6' height. Additionally, the project developer shall have a Certified Arborist prepare at tree preservation plan for the existing 48-inch diameter Walnut Tree. Environmental Review 4 A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project, which focuses on land use compatibility, hazards, aesthetics, and traf5c in addition to all potential environmental factors normally considered in an Initial Study. A number of mitigation measures have been included within the document to ensure that identified environmental impacts can be reduced to levels of insignificance. The Mitigated Negative Declaration has been circulated for public review. A copy of the Initial Study, on which the Mitigated Negative Declaration is based, is included as Attachment 3. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission 1. Adopt Resolution (Attachment 5) recommending the Planning Commission adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and 2. Adopt Resolution (Attachment 6) recommending the Planning Commission approve the Site Development Review to allow the remodel and the addition of 25,846 square feet of building area. 5 GENERAL INFORMATION: Property Owner: Applicant: Location: Existing Zoning: Allen Lynch Doerken Properties Inc. 11835 Olympic Blvd. West Los Angles, CA 90064 Kevin Waddell Doerken Properties Inc. 436 Camino Sobrante Orinda, CA 94563 Peter Paszterko Perkowitz + Ruth Architects 111 West Ocean Blvd., 215` floor Long Beach, CA 90802 North East corner of Amador Valley Boulevard and San Ramon Road APN ). 941-173-4-3, 941-173-4-4, 941-173-4-5, and 941-173-4-6 C-1, Retail Commercial Zoning District General Plan Designation: RetaiUOffice (0.25-0.50 F.A.R.) SHAMROCK VILLAAGE DUBLIN. CA. SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW APPLICATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposal is a remodel of an existing shopping center. Anew 45,000 sf. market, a 10,500 sf. retail building and a 2,880sf pad building is proposed to replace parts of an outdated shopping center with the remaining buildings renovated to current retail building standards. The new remodeled center is expected to reenergize the retail environment for the neighborhood. It will have a major positive effect on the surrounding properties and will provide additional retail choices to the community .The hour of operation of the center is 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The market is anticipated to be opened 24 hours a day. The number of employees is not expected to increase substantially in comparison to the existing center if operating at full capacity. The new center will improve the vehicular and pedestrian circulation with standards brought up to Federal ADA requirements. Access driveways will be widened and pazking layouts improved. Site landscaping will be attractive and increased beyond the existing with accent landscaping at entries and perimeter landscaping to soften the edges. The parking field will have additional tree wells to provide shade and visual relief. The architectural goal is to lend character to a nondescript, and outdated existing center, presently in dilapidated conditions. The architectural design theme is derived from the one remaining architecturally significant building. It expresses the interesting bow truss structure of this building with enhancements including vertical articulations using rhythmical pilasters which mitigate the visual horizontal impact of the building mass. Architectural details, colors and materials are chosen to reflect the surroundings with subtle hints to the existing palette brought up to contemporary taste. The existing stone veneer will be hinted to, using a cultured stone cladding more complimentary to the new aesthetics of the center. The buildings are designed to be in similaz scale as the surrounding buildings with special attention to the residential edge at the rear .The project is a replacement and remodel and there will be no changes to the type and intensity of the development. There will be no negative impact on views, public health, safety and welfare. The site is not located on a hazardous waste and substance site.

Description of project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its implementation. Attach additional sheets if necessary.) The proposed project consists of redeveloping the existing Shamrock Village shopping center with a new shopping center anchored by a grocery store. The existing building square footage of the center is 49,534. The proposed remodel and addition would add 25,846 square feet of building area, totaling 75,380 square feet. The proposed square footage breakdown is as follows: retai]- 69,080; restaurant-6,300. 11. Surrounding land uses and setting: Briefly describe the project's surroundings: The project site is located between Amador Valley Boulevard and Starward Drive. The project site contains approximately 5.7 acres of land which is owned by Doerken Properties. Surrounding land uses to the north is the Starward Drive residential areas which include 31-single family residential units which were recently constructed and which back directly to the project area. Nine of these units back Attachment 3 immediately adjacent to the subject property and aze separated by a 6 foot high masonry sound wall. Immediately to the west of the project is the MacFrugal's retail building which contains approximately 20,000 square feet of floor area. Other existing uses located within the same shopping center are Foster's Freeze Restaurants and Casa Orozco Restaurants located to the southwest and the emergency medical care facility located to the east. The existing Shamrock Village Shopping Center (those portions owned and controlled by the applicant, Doerken Properties) contains approximately 49,534 retail square footage. Currently, the shopping center has a parking field in front (to the south) of the shopping center with additional parking located in the rear the of development. Approximately, 6 small loading doors and one-large loading door are located on the rear of the building, facing Starwazd Drive and the residential units located to the north. to the rear. The existing buildings are located approximately 90 feet from the property line to north, which separates the residential uses and the subject property. The existing parapet of the building attains a height of approximately 15 feet above existing finished grade. Various types of mechanical equipment are located on top of building and are within plain sight of properties to the north of the project site. Various types of trees are located on the project site and are generally in poor health and/or are poorly maintained. The project involves an application for a Site Development Review to permit the construction of an additional 25,846 square feet of floor area and the remodeling of the remaining portions of the Shamrock Shopping Center which is owned and controlled by Doerken Properties. Vehiculaz access is proposed via Amador Valley Boulevard, Starward Drive, and a new ingress/egress on San Ramon Road. A total of 295 on-site pazking spaces would be provided. The project developer would also construct underground utility improvements on and off the site.

X I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A Negative Declaration will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standazds, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on earlier analysis as described on the attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An Environmental Impact Report is required, but must only analyze the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed on the proposed project. ~~ Signature: l/'ii ~/ Printed Name: ndy Byde, Associate Planner Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Date: ~ 1 ~ ~ ~~/ For: City of Dublin 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "no impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parenthesis following each question. A "no impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "no impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general factors (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on aproject-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) "Potentially Significant hnpact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant.

Dublin Planning Department Page 13 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 Attachment to Shamrock Center Marketplace Mitigated Negative Declaration PA 00-020 Discussion of Checklist Legend PS: Potentially Significant PS/M: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated LS: Less Than Significant Impact NI: No Impact I. Land Use and Planning Environmental Setting The project site is located between Amador Valley Boulevard and Starward Drive. The project site contains approximately 5.7 acres of land which is owned and controlled by Doerken Properties. The property is substantially covered with impervious surfaces (except for the minimal landscaped areas). Surrounding land uses to the north include the Starward Drive residential area which include 31-single family residential units which were recently constructed and which back directly to the project area. Nine of these units back immediately adjacent to the subject property and are separated by a 6 foot high masonry sound wall. Immediately to the west of the project is the MacFrugal's retail building which contains approximately 20,000 square feet of floor area. Other existing uses located within the same shopping center are Foster's Freeze and Casa Orozco located to the southwest and the emergency medical care facility located to the east. Proiect hnoacts a) Conflict with general plan designation and zoning? NL The Dublin General Plan designates the site as "retail office" which allows .25 to .50 F.A.R.. The proposed project would result in a F.A.R. of .30, consistent with General Plan density F.A.R. ranges. b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies? NI. The City of Dublin has adopted no other city-wide or specific environmental plans or policies which would affect this project. c) Incompatibilities with existing land use in the vicinity? LS. The proposed project would not be incompatible with surrounding uses because the project area is surrounded by similar uses. See Section X for discussion on noise impacts and required mitigations. With the imposition of Mitigation Measures 6a- 6d, this is not anticipated to be a significant impact. d) Effect on agricultural operations or soils? NI. No agricultural operations exist on the subject property or the surrounding properties. Dublin Planning Department Page 14 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 e) Disruption of physical arrangement of an established community? NI. No residential uses are located immediately adjacent to the site and therefore the project would not disrupt any physical arrangement of the community. IL Population and Housing Environmental Setting The City population as of January 1, 1996 was estimated by the State Department of Finance to be 26,267. Significant population growth is anticipated for the community based on planned residential growth in East Dublin Specific Plan Area, where the City has approved a specific plan calling for residential growth. According to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the total population of Dublin is expected to 49,400 by the year 2005 and 58,900 in the year 2010. Proiect Imnacts a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections? LS. The proposed project is not residential and therefore would not have an appreciable affect on the City-wide population base. b) Induce substantial growth in an area, either directly or indirectly? NI. The project site is identified as an "infill" site with current water and sewer service and therefore is not be considered a growth inducing project. c) Displacement of existing housing, especially affordable housing? NI. The project site is presently occupied with commercial development and no housing units are located in the vicinity and therefore none would be displaced. III. Soils and Geology Environmental Setting The site lies within the San Ramon Valley, a short distance south of the Dougherty Hills. According to historic geologic studies in the azea, the site is underlain by poorly consolidated, non-marine deposit sedimentary rocks of the Tassajaza Formation. The geotechnical investigation report prepared for the project indicates that the site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone (1982). There are no mapped faults which aze known to traverse the site. The closest potentially active fault is the Calaveras, which is located approximately 400 feet to the west. The Hayward and San Andreas faults lie approximately 8 and 26 miles, respectively, southwest of the site. Although the site is located in close proximity to the designated seismic Special Studies Zone for the Calaveras fault, trenching on the adjacent site, closer to the fault, and to the northwest (Starwazd Drive Residential Project) revealed no traces of possible faulting. Project Impacts a) Is the site subject to fault rupture? LS. Although the site is located nearby a Special Studies Zone for seismic hazazd, no evidence of active faulting has been found on the adjacent site. Structures proposed for Dublin Planning Department Page 15 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 the site would be required to comply with seismic requirements established by the Uniform Building Code. Therefore based upon this information, significant impacts are not anticipated. b) Is the site subject to ground shaking? P/SM. The site as well as the encompassing region is subject to severe ground shaking from a number of active and potentially active faults in the greater Bay Area, including the Hayward fault, San Andreas. fault and Calaveras fault. Additionally, structures which aze located within 9 miles of Type A faults and 6 miles within Type B faults should incorporate into the structural design, building practices that address near fault motions. Mitigation Measure la: Adherence to all requirements of the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC), including the Near-Source factors contained in Tables 16-S through 16-U and the seismic coefficients from Tables 16-Q and 16-R. Alternatively, structural designs that account for the types of near source effects attributed to near fault motions that exceed the design requirements of the 1997 UBC may be utilized. Mitigation Measure lb: All subsequent construction plans should incorporate the recommendations of a geotechnical investigation. A registered Civil Engineer should design the grading and foundation plans. A Registered Geotechnical Engineer should stamp and sign the grading and foundation plans certifying that they conform to the recommendations contained in the final geotechnical investigation. Adherence to Mitigation Measure la and lb will reduce the potential for ground shaping impacts to an insignificant level. c) Is the site subject to seismic ground failure? LS. Enforcement of provisions of the 1997 Uniform Building Code and recommendations contained in the geotechnical report prepared for the project will serve to reduce potential impacts of seismic ground failure to a less than significant level. d) Is the site subject to seiche, tsunami hazards, including liquefaction? LS. The Geotechnical investigation report for adjacent project site concludes that the risk of liquefaction on the site is low. This is based on the presence of clay soils on the adjacent site which are not prone to liquefaction. There are no major bodies of water located nearby which could be a source of seiche hazazd. e) Is the site subject to landslides or mudflows? LS. The site is essentially flat with less than 1% of slope over the entire site, therefore, any potential impacts from landslides or mudflows would be considered less than significant. f) Is the site subject to erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions? P/SM. The site, as it presently exists, is essentially flat. However, grading will occur to provide for future building pads, and parking lots. Without appropriate mitigation, erosion could result from the site grading and then flow into nearby storm drains. The following mitigation measure is proposed to limit impacts related to water-borne erosion. Mitigation Measure 2: The project developer shall prepare and the City shall approve an erosion and sedimentation control plan for implementation throughout project construction. The plan Dublin Planning Department Page 16 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 should be prepared in accordance with City of Dublin and RWQCB design standards. The plan, at a minimum, should include the following: • All disturbed areas should be immediately revegetated or otherwise protected from both wind and water erosion upon completion of grading activities; • Stormwater runoff should be collected into stable drainage channels from small drainage basins to prevent the build up of large, potentially erosive stormwater flows; • Specific measures to control erosion from stockpiled earth material; • Runoff should be directed away from all areas disturbed by construction; • Sediment ponds or siltation basins should be used to trap eroded soils prior to discharge into off-site drainage culverts or channels.; • Major site development work involving excavation and earth moving for construction shall be done during the dry season, except as maybe approved by the City Engineer. Adherence to Mitigation Measure 2 will reduce potential erosion impacts to an insignificant level. g) Subsidence of land? LS. According to the Geotechnical Report prepared for the adjacent site indicates that the risk of subsidence is low. h) Expansive soils? P/SM. Surficial soils on the adjacent site have been identified as having a high expansive potential. These soils generally tend to shrink, crack and become hard when dry, and expand and become softer when wet. Expansive soils have the potential to damage building foundations and other improvements if specific construction techniques are not followed. The final geotechnical report submitted for the project should recommend appropriate construction techniques to ensure that any negative effects of expansive soils can be reduced to a level of insignificance. Mitigation Measure 3: All subsequent construction plans should incorporate the recommendations of a geotechnical investigation. A registered Civil Engineer should design the grading and foundation plans. A Registered Geotechnical Engineer should stamp and sign the grading and foundation plans certifying that they conform to the recommendations contained in the final geotechnical investigation. i) Unique geologic or physical features? NI. No unique geologic or physical features have been identified on the site, based upon a review of a topographic survey and a field visit. IV. Water Enviromnental Setting No surface water exists on the site. The entire Tri-Valley area is underlain by an extensive underground aquifer. The aquifer ranges in depth between 15 and 500 feet but is no longer used as the primary source of domestic water in the area. Dublin Planning Department Page 17 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 Proiect Impacts a) Changes to absorption rates? LS. Currently, an insignificant portion of the site contains pervious surfaces, with negligible amounts of storm water percolating into the groundwater table. The areas of landscaping containing pervious surface would be increased on the site. Therefore, development of the proposed project actually result in absorption rates being increased slightly because of the increase in pervious surfaces. b) Exposure of people or property to flood hazard? LS. The project site lies within Zone X as identified on the applicable Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Community Panel No. 060705 OOOIA, dated 1997. c) Discharge into surface waters or changes to surface water quality? PS/M. It is likely that initial storm water flows after a lengthy dry season (also known as "first flush" flows) may add pollutants into Chabot Canal, including but not limited to grease, oil, fertilizers and other organic and inorganic material. Typical]y, subsequent flows generally contain fewer amounts of pollutant material. The City of Dublin is a co-permittee of the Alameda County Clean Water Program, which is a coordinated effort by local governments in the County to improve water quality in San Francisco Bay. In 1994, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a set of recommendations for New and Redevelopment Controls for Storm Water Programs. These recommendations include policies that define watershed protection goals, minimum non-point source pollution controls for site planning and post construction activities. Watershed protection goals are based on policies identified in the San Francisco Bay Basin Water Control Plan, which relied on Best Management Practices (BMPs) to limit pollutant contact with stormwater runoff at its source and remove such pollutants prior to being transported into receiving waters. The following mitigation measure is therefore recommended to reduce surface water quality pollution to a level of insignificance. Mitigation Measure 4a: The applicant shall obtain an NPDES general construction permit from the State Water Resources Control Boazd. The terms of this permit require that project development not cause any increase of sedimentation, turbidity or hazardous materials within downstream receiving waters. Mitigation Measure 4b: The applicant shall submit a stormwater pollution prevention plan. Such a plan should provide both interim (during construction) and long-term (post construction) stormwater pollution control measures. Best Management Practices should be incorporated into the long-term site management program to ensure the removal of non-point source pollutants in stormwater runoff. At a minimum drainage system filtering devices or traps should be installed that would protect water resources from dischazges of petroleum-based pollutants collected on impervious parking surfaces. Along term maintenance program of these devices should also be developed. d) Changes in amount of surface water? LS. The proposed project would not significantly change the size of surface water in any neazby body of water. The project would not add impervious surfaces and therefore the resulting absorption rates would not be decreased. Therefore as a result of the project and Dublin Planning Department rage io Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 with the imposition of Mitigation Measure 4 to maintain water quality, this is not anticipated to be a significant impact. e) Changes in currents or direction of water movement? LS. The project would not significantly alter currents or direction of water movement in nearby water bodies. f) Changes in quantity of groundwater? NI. The project would not significantly alter existing ground water resources on or near the project site, as discussed in Section N (a) and (c). g) Altered direction of groundwater? NI. The project would not affect groundwater direction. h) Impacts to groundwater quality? NI. The scope of the project is such that groundwater resources will not be affected, as discussed in Section IV (a) and (c). i) Substantial reduction of groundwater resources? LS. Future project residents will rely on water currently supplied by the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) for water supplies. Section, XII, Utilities, further describes anticipated water supply to the project. V. Air Quality Environmental Settin The project site is located within the Tri-Valley area, a sheltered, inland area surrounded by hills to the west, south and east. Most of the air flow into the southern portions of the Valley is accomplished through two gaps in the hills: the Hayward and Niles canyons. Local wind data show the frequent occurrence of low wind speed and calm conditions (the latter approximately 23 percent of the time). These local limitations on the capacity for horizontal dispersion of air pollutants combined with the regional characteristic of restricted vertical dispersion give the area a high potential for regional air quality problems. Proiect Impacts a) Violation of air quality standard`? PS/M. Potential air quality impacts can be divided into short-term, construction related impacts and long-term operational impacts associated with the project. In terms of construction-related impacts, it is anticipated that the project would generate temporary increases in dust and particulate matter caused by site excavation and grading activities. Construction vehicle equipment on unpaved surfaces also generates dust as would wind blowing over exposed earth surfaces. Generalized estimates of construction air emissions include approximately 1.2 tons of dust per acre per month of construction activity. About 45 percent of construction-related dust is composed of large particles which settle rapidly on nearby surfaces and are easily filtered by human breathing patterns. The remainder of dust consists of small particles (also known as PM10) and could constitute a more severe air quality impact, unless mitigated. The following mitigation measure is therefore recommended to reduce potential short-term, construction related impacts. Dublin Planning Department Page 19 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 Mitigation Measure 5: The Following measures shall be incorporated into construction specifications and shall be followed by the project grading contractor: • All material excavated or graded shall be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive amounts of dust, Watering shall occur at least twice per day with complete coverage, preferably in the late morning and at the completion of work for the day; • All clearing, grading, earthmoving and excavation shall cease during periods of high winds greater than 20 mph over one hour; • All material transported off-site shall either be sufficiently watered or securely fastened to prevent escape of dust and debris; • All inactive portions of the construction site shall be planted and watered, if construction is accomplished in more than one phase; • On-site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 mph; • Unnecessary idling of construction equipment shall be avoided; • Equipment engines shall be maintained in proper working condition per manufacturers' specification. Construction of the proposed project will add additional vehicular traffic to this portion of Dublin as identified in Section VI, Transportation and Circulation. These additional vehicles will generate quantities of carbon monoxide, reactive organic gasses, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter (PMIO). However, the location of the proposed project near a major regional transportation Dublin Boulevard) and the fact that the proposed project is considered an "infill" type project results in conformity with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Clean Air Plan. b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? LS. The project would not add sensitive receptors to pollutans because the project would not result in additional residents in the area of the project site. c) Alter air movement, moisture, temperature or climate? NI. The project is anticipated to consist of a one story structure, which will not substantially interfere with prevailing wind patterus or climatic conditions. d) Create objectionable odors? NI. As a retail facility, no objectionable odors are anticipated to be created. VL Transportation/Circulation [Note: The following section is based on an analysis of the traffic and transportation performed by Omni Means, transportation consultants.] Environmental Setting Dublin Planning Department Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 Streets that provide access into and around the project site include Dublin Boulevard, Amador Valley Boulevazd, San Ramon Road, Regional Street, Amador Plaza Road, Village Parkway, Starward Drive and Donohue Drive. A brief description of each roadway follows: Dublin Boulevard is located south of the project site extending in an east-west direction. Dublin Boulevard is a major arterial street with six travel lanes and raised landscaped medians. In the study area Dublin Boulevard provides access to commercial-retail areas. Amador Valley Boulevard is located immediately south of the project site and extends in an east-west direction. Providing direct access to the proposed project site, Amador Valley Boulevard has four travel lanes with raised landscaped medians and is a major arterial street. West of San Ramon Road, the roadway narrows to two travel lanes. San Ramon Road is a major north-south arterial street that lies immediately west of the project site. A six-lane roadway with raised medians, San Ramon Road provides access to commercial areas in the project site. North of the proposed project site, San Ramon Road narrows to four travel lanes and provides access to residential azeas. Amador Plaza Road extends in a north-south direction between Amador Valley Road to south of Dublin Boulevard. Located east of the project site, Amador Plaza Boulevard has two travel lanes and atwo-way- left-turn lane. Golden Gate Drive is a short, two lane roadway that extends south from Dublin Boulevard, providing access to commercial areas. Regional Street extends in a southerly direction from the proposed project and would provide direct access to the site. The roadway has two travel-lanes with atwo-way left-turn lane as it provides access to commercial-retail areas. This roadway would provide direct access to the project site as well as other retail-commercial areas in the project area. Village Parkway extends in a north-south direction east of the project site. A major arterial street with four travel lanes and a raised landscaped median, Village Parkway provides access to commercial-retail azeas just north of Dublin Boulevard and residential azeas north of Amador Valley Boulevard. Donohue Drive is located east of the project site and extends in a north-south direction. With two travel lanes, the roadway provides access to residential areas. Starward Drive is situated just east of the project site. Extending in a northerly direction from Amador Valley Boulevard, the roadway turns west behind the proposed project site before extending north to provide access to residential development. Atwo-lane roadway, Starward Drive would provide direct access to the project site on its northern (rear) frontage. The City commissioned a traffic consultant (Omni Means Associates, Inc., transportation consultants) to prepare a traffic analysis to detail project-related transportation and circulation impacts. At the direction of the Department of Public Works, the analysis included traffic volume and turning movement counts Dublin Planning Department Page 21 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. All counts were conducted during 2000. The intersections surveyed included: • Amador Valley Boulevazd/San Ramon Road Signalized • Amador Valley Boulevard/Regional Street Signalized • Amador Valley Boulevard/Starwazd Drive Stop-sign control (Starward) • Amador Valley Boulevazd/Donohue Drive Signalized • Amador Valley Boulevard/ Amador Plaza Road Signalized • Amador Valley Boulevard/Village Parkway Signalized • Dublin Boulevard/San Ramon Road Signalized Based on the traffic volume counts, the traffic analysis calculated the following four scenarios: (1) existing conditions; (2) existing plus approved; (3) existing plus approved plus project; and (4) cumulative for the year 2010 plus project. General Plan Transportation Policy Framework The General Plan measures and evaluates traffic congestion conditions of the roadway network by using intersection level of service ("LOS") analysis. The LOS analysis describes the operational efficiency of an intersection by comparing the volume of critical traffic movements to intersection capacity and determining average delays. LOS can range from "A," representing free-flowing conditions, to "F," representing very severe congestion and intersection breakdown. The General Plan adopts LOS D or better as the acceptable LOS for all routes of regional significance (these routes include: Dublin Blvd., Dougherty Rd., Tassajaza Rd., and San Ramon Rd.). Development and road improvements should be phased so that the LOS does not deteriorate below LOS D (V/C .91 or greater) (General Plan Guiding Policies 5.1.1B and C). Significance Criteria Based upon General Plan policies, an intersection impact is considered significant if it causes the overall intersection LOS, or a movement LOS in the intersection, to fall below LOS D. Proiect Impacts a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? LS. The proposed project would increase vehicle trips and traffic congestion in the local roadway network. However, this would not be considered a significant impact because as a result of the additional trips generated by the project, none of the intersections studied by the traffic consultant (or any other foreseeable intersections) would drop below LOS D. The additional trips generated by the project would not be considered a significant impact (see the table on the next page) because, the applicant has agreed to pay a contribution of $30,503 for offsetting the impacts of the project to the local road way network, which will allow the City of Dublin Public Works Department to make necessary corrections to assure that the affected roadways will operate in an acceptable manner. Existing Traffic (including existing, approved, and pending projects) compared with traffic generated by the proposed project.

The trip generation assumptions for the project are based on information contained in the Trip Generation, Sixth Edition, Shopping Centers, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The following table illustrates the estimated trip generation for the proposed project. Project Trip Generation Project trip distribution has been based on other retail studies conducted in the area, azea demographics, and existing traffic flows around the shopping center. As a new market that would serve mainly local patrons, the proposed project would draw more from the local population than from a regional area. As Dublin Planning Department Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 such, the proposed project would attract customers from primarily the Dublin area and less from outlying areas via 1-680 and 1-580. Consideration has also been given to project access and nearby intersections. Based on previous transportation studies in the project area and these factors, the distribution is estimated to be as follows: 1. 1-680 to/from the north 5% 2. I-680 to/from the south 5% 3. 1-580 to/from the east 5 4. 1-580 to/from the west 5% 5. San Ramon Rd. to/from the south 15% 6. San Ramon Rd. to/from the north 20% 7. Amador Valley Rd. to/from the east 20% 8. Amador Valley Rd. to/from the west 5% 9. Regional St. to/from the south 20% Total: 100% b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? LS. Based on analysis by the Department of Public Works and by the Traffic Consultant, no public safety hazards would be created. c) Inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses? LS. Primary access is provided from two points along Amador Valley Boulevard and one point along Starward Drive. d) Insufficient pazking capacity onsite or offsite? LS. Based on the project's site plan, there would be a total of 295 parking spaces provided for the Shamrock Marketplace via a re-designed parking field adjacent to the north-south internal drive, east of the drive as well as new pazking spaces located along the rear of building frontages adjacent to Starwazd Drive. Existing parking spaces that serve the MacFrugal's, Foster Freeze and the Mexican restaurant (which are located on the western half of the project site) aze not included in this total. Of these 295 spaces, approximately 101 or 34.5% would be compact, 13 or 4.5 would be for AD A handicapped, and 179 or 61 % would be standazd parking spaces. The proposed project's parking demand has been calculated based on City code requirements for general retail and restaurant. The retail rate requires one parking space per 300 square feet of gross leasable a (GLA) and restaurant is requires one parking space per 100 square feet. Based on 75,380 square feet of retail shopping center, the off-street parking requirements has been calculated as follows: 69,080 square feet general retail x 1 space/300 square feet = 252 parking spaces; 6,300 square feet restaurant 1 space/100square feet = 63 parking spaces (252+63=293). Based on the off-street parking calculation for the proposed retail use, the project's pazking supply of 295 would exceed the City's parking code requirement. e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? LS. No hazards or barriers to pedestrians or cyclists would result from the proposed project. Department of Public Works, Traffic Division and Omni Means, traffic consultant have analyzed the site for potential hazards or bamers to pedestrians and found none to exist. Dublin Planning Department Page 24 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation (e.g. bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? LS. The project is consistent with General Plan policies, additionally, the Dublin Zoning Code requires that bicycle racks to be constructed on-site. g) Rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts? NI. The proposed project is not sited near operating railroad facilities, near a navigable waterway or near an airport. VII. Biological Resources Environmental Setting The project site is occupied by approximately 49,000 square feet of retail space on a site which is completely paved with asphalt, except for a negligible amount of ornamental landscaping. Proiect hnpacts a) Endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats (including but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds) NI. No special status species were observed at the project site location based on field observations which were conducted in August, September, October, and November of 2000. b) Locally designated species (e.g. heritage trees). LS. The trees located on the site slated for removal are not designated as "Heritage Trees" (i.e. not an Oak, Bay, Cypress, Maple, Redwood, Buckeye, and or Sycamore tree) Therefore no significant impact will result. c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g. oak forest, coastal habitat) NI. There are no significant stands of vegetation on the project site. d) Wetland habitat (e.g. marsh, riparian and vernal pool)? LS. No wetland habitat exists on the project site. e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? LS. The site is substantially surrounded by existing development and no wildlife corridors have been observed on the site. VII. Energy and Mineral Resources Environmental Setting The Conservation Element of the General Plan does not reference any significant mineral resources on the project site or in the area of the project. Project Impacts a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? NL The proposed project will not conflict with energy goals, policies or programs established in the General Plan regarding energy or energy conservation. Dublin Planning Department Page 25 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 b) Use nonrenewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner? NL The proposed project is not anticipated to use resources in a wasteful manner. The project will be constructed in accord with the Uniform Building Code and Title 24 of the California Administrative Code, both of which require stringent energy efficient construction methods, such as insulation, thermal pane windows and installation of efficient appliances. Exterior landscaping will be governed by both AB 325 and Section 8.88 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, which requires "water budgets" for landscape materials and methods of irrigation. Finally, the City is mandated by AB 939 to reduce the solid waste stream generated by residences, business and industrial establishments by promoting recycling and similar programs. c) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and residents of the State? NI. The project site is not located in an area designated by the California State Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology, as having sufficient mineral resources that are suitable as marketable commodities. IX. Hazards Proiect Impacts a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances including but not limited to oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation? LS. The proposed project may contain small quantities of motor oil or similar type of materials. The applicant will be required as part of the storage of those materials to file a hazardous material management plan (HMMP) with the Alameda County Environmental Health Services (EHS). Enforcement of EHS's requirements of the HMMP will assure that the material are stored in a safe manner and reduce the risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances to an insignificant level. b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? LS. No adopted or foreseeable emergency evacuations plan would be interfered with by the proposed project. The project is not within an area where possible conflicts would occur. c) The creation of any health hazard or potential health hazards? NI. The proposed project would not generate a health hazazd. d) Exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards? LS. The applicant will be required as part of the storage of any hazardous materials to file a hazardous material management plan (HMMP) with the Alameda County Environmental Health Services (EHS). As a result of the HMMP, the project will not result in the significant exposure of people to potential health hazards. e) Increased fare hazard in areas with flammable brush, grass or trees? LS. Construction of the proposed project will add masonry structures and other related improvements, including new landscaping. All structures will be built in conformity with provisions of the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code to minimize fire hazard. Landscaped azeas will be permanently irrigated to ensure that plant material will not be flammable. X. Noise Dublin Planning Department Page 26 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 Environmental Setting The General Plan identifies that the conditionally acceptable outdoor Ldn noise levels are between 60 and 70 dBA for residential areas, while commercial and industrial azeas have a maximum noise level of 75- 80dBA. Noise measurements are expressed in decibels ("dB"), which is the standard measure of sound pressure. Filters aze used with some noise measuring equipment to suppress frequency ranges that the human ear cannot readily detect. The "A" filter is used for such measurements. All noise levels discussed herein are "A-filtered" or "A-weighted" decibels ("dBA"). The average dBA during a specified measurement period, typically one hour, is expressed as the "Leq," or equivalent noise level. The average dBA during a 24-hour period is expressed as the "Ldn," or day-night noise level. Project Impacts a) Increases in existing noise levels? PS/M Delivery Trucks. The noise generated by delivery trucks depends primarily on the type of truck. The proposed grocery store would have four general product delivery per day, which generally would occur between the hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and would be accomplished with a 65-foot long, 18 wheel, tractor- trailer truck. Additional deliveries from separate vendors and delivery services would occur up to IS times during the business day by way of smaller step-down vans (up to 18 feet in length) and delivery trucks (up to 35 feet in length). Noise from delivery trucks ranges typically from 60 to 80 dBA measured at a distance of 50 feet. The project loading dock area would be approximately 40 to 80 feet from the backyazds of the nearest Starwazd residences. Though delivery truck noise at the project site would be at or below the existing noise levels generated by existing delivery truck traffic in the area, these noise levels could be potentially significant unless mitigated, especially if deliveries occur during quieter nighttime hours. Loading Dock Activities. Maximum noise levels in loading dock areas aze caused by such activities as the banging and clanging of metal containers and pallet jacks with the maximum noise level up to 80 dBA measured at a distance of 50 feet. Such noises are chazacterized as impulsive noises since they are consistent in dBA and short in duration. The loading dock would be located behind a 9-foot high, split- face concrete sound wall that would reduce the maximum noise level by at least 10 dBA to 70 dBA. Though this noise level is consistent with the noise standazd, this noise level could be potentially significant unless mitigated, especially if loading dock activities occur during quieter nighttime hours. Mechanical Equipment. Mechanical equipment associated with the project, such as air-conditioning units, would be located on the roof of the proposed building behind and below a parapet wall. The parapet wall would significantly reduce mechanical equipment noise impacts to neazby residential uses. Depending on the type and size of mechanical equipment used, maximum daytime noise levels at the backyards of the nearest residences should be below 50 dBA. However, maximum nighttime noise levels could exceed the existing, nighttime ambient noise level. This is a potentially significant impact unless mitigated. To account for potentially significant noise impacts caused by delivery truck traffic, loading dock activities, and nighttime operation of roof-top mechanical equipment and to ensure that such impacts are reduced to a less than significant level, the following mitigation measures should be incorporated into the project as conditions of approval: Dublin Planning Department Page L/ Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 Mitigation Measure 6a: Truck deliveries, should be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. These hours should be posted at the loading dock in conspicuous locations. Mitigation Measure 6b: The loading dock shall be enclosed with a roof and rolling door(s). All large truck deliveries shall utilize the enclosed loading dock. Large trucks making deliveries to this loading dock shall close the loading door once the truck is inside. In lieu to enclosing the structure with a solid roof, an Acoustical Noise Consultant shall certify that noise emitted from the loading dock will not increase outdoor noise levels of the adjacent residential areas in excess of 60 to 70 dBA. Additionally, an Acoustical Noise Consultant shall certify that the design of the loading dock will not cause noise from loading dock activities, occurring during quieter nighttimehours, to exceed existing ambient noise conditions in the backyards of the nearest residences. Mitigation Measure 6c: All mechanical equipment should be designed so that the total noise generated by such equipment does not exceed the existing average hourly daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) Leq measurements. Mitigation Measure 6d: All construction activities on the project site shall be limited to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless alternative hours are approved by the Dublin Building Official for structural construction and the City Engineer for grading activities. Construction equipment, including compressors, generators, and mobile equipment, shall be fitted with properly working mufflers. b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? LS. The proposed project is not anticipated to expose occupants of the project to noise levels in excess of that established in the Dublin General Plan. Additionally, prior to issuance of a building permit, the project developer shall be required to meet the requirements of California Title 24 regulating, interior noise levels. XI. Public Services. Environmental Setting The project site is served by the following service providers: • Fire Protection. Fire protection is provided by the Alameda County Fire Department, under contract to the City of Dublin, which provides structural fire suppression, rescue, hazardous materials control and public education services. Police Protection. Police protection is provided by the Dublin Police Department which is headquartered in the Civic Center. The Department, which maintains a sworn staff of 31 officers, performs a range of public safety services including patrol, investigation, traffic safety and public education. Dublin Planning Department Page Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 Schools. Educational facilities are provided by the Dublin Unified School District which operates kindergarten through high school services within the community. Schools which would serve the project include Dublin High School (grades 9-12) and Wells Middle School (graded 6-8). Grades K-5 could be served by one of three elementary schools within the District. Maintenance. The City of Dublin provides public facility maintenance, including roads, parks, street trees and other public facilities. Dublin's Civic Center is located at 100 Civic Plaza. Other ¢overnmental services. Other governmental services are provided by the City of Dublin including community development and building services and related governmental services. Library service is provided by the Alameda County Library with supplemental funding by the City of Dublin. The City of Dublin has adopted a Public Facilities Fee for all new residential development in the community for the purpose of financing new municipal public facilities needed by such development. Facilities anticipated to be funded by the proposed fee would include completion of the Civic Center Complex, construction of a new library, expansion of the existing senior center, acquisition and development of new community and neighborhood parks and similar municipal buildings and facilities. The applicant would be required to pay this fee. Environmental Impacts a) Fire protection? LS. According to representatives of the Fire Department, the proposed project lies within a % mile radius of a fire station located at 9399 Fircrest in Dublin. A typical response time of under five minutes is anticipated. As part of the site development review process, specific fire protection requirements will be imposed on the development to ensure compliance with applicable provisions of the Uniform Fire Code. Based upon discussions between the applicant and Fire Department officials, the project has been modified to provide minimum turning radii and aisle widths for emergency equipment. b) Police protection? LS. The Police Department has indicated an ability to provide safety and security services to the proposed project. c) Schools? LS. The Dublin Unified School District recently completed a Facilities Master Plan which includes estimates of student generation by residential density type. However, the proposed project does no contain a residential component and therefore will not generate additional students as a result of the project. d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? LS. The project represents an insignificant increase in area population and vehicles. e) Other governmental services? LS. The project would represent incremental increases in the demand for general governmental services. Payment of the City's Public Facility Fee would offset any impacts caused by the project. Dublin Planning Department Page 29 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 XII. Utilities and Service Systems. Environmental Setting The project site is served by the following service providers: • Electrical and natural gas power: Pacific Gas and Electric Co. • Communications: Pacific Bell • Water supply and sewage treatment: Dublin San Ramon Services District • Storm drainage: City of Dublin • Solid waste disposal: Dublin-Livermore Disposal Company Environmental Impacts a) Power or natural gas? LS. According to representatives from Pacific Gas and Electric Company, adequate facilities exist in the vicinity of the project to provide power and natural gas service. b) Communication systems? LS. According to representatives from Pacific Bell, communication facilities presently exist near the site which could be extended to serve future development on the site. c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution systems? LS. According to representatives of DSRSD, water mains exist on the site which should provide adequate water volumes and pressures for domestic and fire fighting purposes to the proposed project. DSRSD purchases water on a wholesale basis From Zone 7 of the Alameda County Flood and Water Conservation District and provides water service to residences and businesses within its service area. d) Sewer or septic systems? LS. According to representatives of DSRSD, adequate capacity exists to accommodate anticipated sewer flows from the proposed project. Untreated effluent would be transported to DSRSD's Regional Treatment Plant in Pleasanton for treatment prior to being discharged into the East Bay Discharge Authority's outfall line for eventual disposal into San Francisco Bay. DSRSD officials indicate that adequate capacity exists within the regional treatment facility to accommodate this project. e) Storm water drainage? LS. This topic was previously addressed in Section IV, Water f) Solid waste disposal? LS. The City of Dublin contracts with Livermore-Dublin Disposal Company to collect solid waste from households and businesses and transport it to the Altamont Landfill, located in eastern Alameda County. The Landfill currently has an anticipated capacity until the year 2005 and plans are underway to extend landfill capacity for an additional 50 years. Livermore-Dublin Disposal Company also operates a curbside recycling service to ensure that the City's waste stream complies with state requirements for reduction of solid waste. The most current information available indicates that Dublin exceeds state requirements for reducing solid waste. Dublin Planning D Shamrock Village PA 00-020 Although approval of the proposed project will incrementally increase the amount of solid waste, any such increases will insignificant because the existing facility would be able to be accommodated given the existing solid waste facilities and resources. g) Local or regional water supplies? LS. DSRSD staff indicate that adequate long term water supplies are available from Zone 7 and other sources to serve the proposed project. XIII. Aesthetics. Environmental Setting The project site currently contains buildings which were constructed in approximately the 1960's and aze somewhat in a state of disrepair. The project site is completely paved over with asphalt that is in marginal conditions. Additionally, the ornamental landscaping that exists on the site is has been poorly maintained. Environmental Impacts a) Affect a scenic vista or view? LS. Given the current development that occupies the site, the proposed development would not result in a significant affect to existing vistas or view comdors. b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect? LS. The proposed project would be largely self contained with adequate landscaped buffering on all sides. Therefore, no negative aesthetic impacts would be created. c) Create light or glare? PS/M. The proposed project would add additional exterior lighting in the project vicinity, including parking lot and drive aisle lighting, security lighting and other light sources. Spill over of light could negatively affect other adjacent residential land uses to the north the following mitigation is therefore recommended: Mitigation Measure 7: Site lighting which is located adjacent to the residential uses to the north shall incorporate the following features: • Pole-mounted lights shall be equipped with cut-off. The height of lighting standazds shall be limited to twelve feet ; • Wall-mounted lights shall also be equipped with cut-off lenses. XIV. Cultural Resources Environmental Setting There is evidence that the site to the north contained a streambed that has been filled many years ago. Generally, Native American archeological sites tend to be situated on broad midslope terraces and alluvial Dublin Planning Department Page 31 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 plains near former and existing water sources, so the possibility does exist of historic or archeological artifacts, however, the possibility of identifying historic cultural resources on the site is low. Project Impacts a) Disturb paleontological resources? LS, Construction of the proposed project could disturb buried paleontological artifacts through grading and general site construction. This would be potentially significant impact. Adherence to the following mitigation measure would reduce this impact to a level of less than significant: Mitigation Measure 8: Should archeological/paleontological artifacts or remains be discovered during construction of the project, work in the vicinity of the find shall stop immediately until a qualified archeologist can evaluate the site and determine the significance of the find. Project personnel shall not collect or alter cultural resources. Identified cultural resources shall be recorded on forms DPR 422 (archeological sites) and/or DPR 523 (historic resources). If human remains are found, the County Coroner shall be contacted immediately. b) Disturb archeological resources? LS. Adherence to Mitigation Measure 8 would also reduce potential impacts to archeological resources to a level of less than significance. c) Have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? NI, The site exhibits no unique ethnic or cultural values. No impacts are therefore anticipated and mitigations measures are required. d) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within potential impact area? NI, no such sites have been identified based on a comprehensive records search of the project site. XV. Recreation. Environmental Setting City parks closest to the project site include Stagecoach Park, Alamo Creek Park, both neighborhood parks and Dublin Sports Grounds, a community park. Project Impacts a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities? LS. The addition of the proposed project would not add a significant demand for parks and recreational facilities. However, demand would still exist for community-scale park and playground facilities. The applicant would be required to pay a Public Facility fee to the City of Dublin, which includes a contribution toward construction of new parks in the city. b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? NI. No recreational opportunities exist on the site. XVI. Mandatory Findings of Significance Dublin Planning Department Page 32 Shamrock Village Marketplace PA 00-020 a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number of or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? NI. The preceding analysis indicates that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse impact on overall environmental quality, including biological resources or cultural resources. As discussed in this Initial Study, the proposed project would not have the potential to significantly degrade the identified resources. b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? NI. The project represents an example of infill, higher density housing which will be sited near a major regional transportation corridor and would not impact long-term environmental goals. As discussed in this Initial Study, the proposed project would not have the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects and the effects of probable future projects). LS. Although incremental increases in certain areas can be expected as a result of constructing this project, including additional traffic air emissions, light and glare and need for public services and utilities, the project site lies within an already urbanized area and sufficient capacity exists within service systems to support the additional population anticipated associated with the project. As discussed in this Initial Study, the proposed project would not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable. d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? NL Although potential safety impacts exist in the vicinity of the, adequate mitigations are proposed to reduce such potential impacts to levels of insignificance. As discussed in this Initial Study, the proposed project would not have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
