In March of 2004 Carducci Associates was commissioned to work with the City Council appointed Task Force to preparc thc Fallon Sports Park Master Plan which will include both costing and phasing options. BACKGR.OUND: The 60 ± Fallon Sports Park is bordered by the future Lockhart Street to the West, Gleason Drive to the North, Fallon Road to the East and Central Parkway to the South. The City of Dublin Parks and ______________________~~___R__________________________-__~_______________________~____________________...____ COPIES TO: Senior Center Advisory Committee Park< and Community Services Commission Carducci Associates \~t:, ITEM NO. 0.4 lY Recreation Master Plan identified the Fallon Sports Park as a "park facility developed to accommodate the majority of competition ball fields in the City". Thc program for the Fallon Sports Park as contained in the Parks and Rccrcation Master Plan includcs thc following amenities: baseball fields, soccer fields, soflballficlds, tClmis courts, basketball courts, BMX track. childrcn's play area, jogging or walking loop, family and group picnic areas, shadc structures, restrooms, concession/scoreboard areas, lighting for sports fields and parking lots. In addition, through input rcceived rrom the Fallon Sports Park Task Force additional amcnities have been identificd including bocce ball courts, cricket fields, and water play areas. Scven major goals were established to lead the Master Plan. These goals are as follows: 1. Crcate a focal and destination point in the City of Dublin. and create a regional attraction that welcomes users from surrounding communities. 2. Create a premier sports park with a wide range of fields and courts to be used for competitive and tournament plan. 3. Provide lighted facilities for extended use and tournament play. 4. Dcvclop the park adjacent to thc 70-foot-wide stream corridor so that the park and the stream corridor complement each other and provide a large open space resource. 5. Provide a park like experience and rccrcationaI opportunities for non-sport users, such as picnic, play, walking trails, relaxation, etc. Promote nature appreciation through native plantings, stream corridor interaction, distant vicws, and open space connections. 6. Provide linkagcs to the regional bike system, other parks within the City, neighborhoods, and thc adjacent private open spacc. 7. Create a clear traffic pattern with descriptivc signage to allow visiting teams and out~of-town users casc in finding the site. In addition, provide clear descriptive signage giving directions to specific facilities on sitc. MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT: Carducci Associates worked with the Fallon Sports Park Task Force over the past year to prepare thc Final Draft Master Plan (Attachment I). A series of seven mcetings of the Task Force were held to allow for input into the proccss. They included an Introductory Meeting outlining the parameters of the program and thc physical make up of thc site; a Site Visit where thc Task force members actually hiked the sitc and gained a sense of thc scale of the project; Dcsign Meeting #1 wherc the Task Force created seven conceptual options and then chose thrcc preferred schemes; Dcsign Meeting #2 wherc the Task Force rcsponded to the three refincd master plan alternatives and chose their preferred plan for recommendation to the Parks and Community Services Commission. The Parks & Community Services CO]]1mission rcviewed the three master plan altemativcs and the preferred plan of the Task Force at the June 21, 2004 meeting. The Commission concurred with the prefcrred plan of the Task Forcc with the recommendation that the design be rcfcrred back to the Task Force to reevaluatc the space requirements of the two 90' baseball diamonds and to considcr removal of the baseball diamonds to allow for program flexibility in the future. At Design Meeting #3 Staff returned to the Task Force with the rccommendation of thc Parks and Community Scrviccs Commission and to look at options for the baseball field area. At that time the consultants further refined the Mastcr Plan with updated engineering information. As a result 0 f thc updated engineering information, the grades were adjusted leaving space for only one 90' baseball field. Additionally the parking was reconfigured to allow for access per Traffic Engineering requirements. The Task Force was in favor of retaining one 90' baseball field in the plan. The Task Force felt that there was a need for an additional 90' baseball field to servc the build~out of the community. This is supported by the standards for baseball fields in the Parks and Recreation Mastcr Plan which shows the need for two ÞilfJlo additional 90' baseball fields. Two additional meetings of the Task Force were held in order to furthcr rcfine elements such as sports field lighting, phasing, and budgctary constraints. PROPOSED MASTER PLAN: Based on input received from the Fallon Sports Park Task Force and the Parks and Community Serviccs Commission, the Final Draft Master Plan for the Fallon Sports Parks includes the following park elements: Sport Facilities · 4-60' Littlc League fields · 4 softball fields (2 lighted) · 4 soccer fields (2 lighted) 2 natural turf fields with a cricket field overlay 2 natural turf fields with synthetic turf option · 1-90' baseball field (lighted) · 4 tennis courts (lighted) · 4 basketball courts (lighted) · 4 boccc courts (lighted) 2 additional courts optional (lighted) · 4 sand vollcyball courts · BMX courts Other Park Facilities · Activity hubs/staff officcs (200-300st) · Restrooms · Concessions · Picnic plazas · Play area · Art and watcr features (optional) · Loop jogging trail (one mile) · Family picnic arcas with barbecues · On-site parking for 459 cares (259 upper terrace parking spaces, and 200 lower terrace parking spaces) · Lockable bicycle parking distributcd throughout the park · Shade structures As proposed, Fallon Sports Park will be an identifiable and memorable park through the use of a ranch theme. This theme is exemplified by the split-rail-style fencing running the perimetcr of the park and large, traditional "ranch gates" at the two main entrances. Other park elements such as play areas, trcllis, and restrooms will incorporate colors and elements that reinforce the ranch theme. The sitc has an overall elevation changc of approximately 100 fect, creating an overall 4% slope across thc site. In order to create usable, level surfaces for the facilities, and to accept .5 million to 1 million cubic yards of fill from adjaccnt developments, two main terraces (upper and lower) have been creatcd. These terraces create a grade change of 30 fect between each level and significant embankmcnts at the northwcst and southwest corners of the park. These terraccs provide opportunitics for views arid topographic interest in the park. The terracing also providcs for two main vehicular entries, one from Lockhart Street at the upper level on the western edgc of the park, and the second from Central Parkway on the southcm edge of the lower leve1. ~ob~ Given thc size and cost of the park, a plan for phasing the improvements is recommended_ Working with the Task Force the Phasc One plan was envisioned to provide thc greatest variety of uses fÌ'om the ovcrall program as well as install the majority of the sports ficld lighting. Subsequcnt phases are mcant to be flexible based on available funding. Similar to Emerald Glen Park, all or portions of thc subsequent phases could be built as funds and timing permit. Phase Onc is anticipated to have a project cost of $12,980,310 (of this amount the cost of construction of thc park improvements is $9,531,468) and includcs half of the programmed softball fields (lit), Little League fields, soccer fields (lit), all of the tcnnis and basketball courts (lit), parking, concession and restroom facilities as well as rough grading for a temporary BMX park. Subsequent phases inelude the "Upper Terrace Phase" which is estimated at project cost of $6,530,493 (of this amount the cost of construction of the park improvements is $4,970,293) and includes the remaining softball fields, Little League fields, children's play area, group picnic area and completion of the BMX facility. Finally, the "Lower Terrace Phase" completcs the soccer fields (with Cricket overlay) bocce ball courts (lit), volleyball courts, children's play area, group picnic areas, parking and the 90' baseball field (lit). The project cost for the Lower Terrace Phase is $7,881,324 (of this amount the cost of construction of the park improvements is $6,249,013.) Prior to adoption of the Fallon Sports Park Master Plan, environmental review of the plan under the California Environmental Quality Act is required. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The City prepared an Initial Study and draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for PA 05-021 Fallon Sports Park Master Plan and Park Developmcnt Plan (Attachment 3), dated April 26, 2005 for the improvements to thc park, consistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15162. The City determined that the proposed project would not result in any significant adversc impacts with the mitigation measures incorporated into the project and those discussed in thc Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study. Fallon Sports Park is locatcd within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area, for which an analysis and assessment was ineluded in thc Environmental Impact Report certified by the City Councì1 for the Eastern Dublin Spccific Plan in 1993, and within the eastcrn portion of Dublin Ranch Area F. Somc grading activities have commenccd on the tuture park site in conj unction with the development of Area F of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan arca, along with preliminary infrastructure improvements. These activities were analyzed and previously evaluated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (March 2000) adopted by the Dublin City Council for Area F (PA 98-068, Reso. No. 34-00), and also in the Addendum (PA 01-037) adopted by the City Council (Reso. No. 43-04) in March 2004 for the Area F North Project. Subscquently, a preliminary grading plan for the park land arca was approved as part of the Area F overall grading plans. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the environmcntal document examined the project's conformance with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies, standards and programs, and whether the implementation of prior adopted mitigation measures established in the Specific Plan would adequately address environmcntal impacts of the park improvement project. The General Plan/Specific Plan EIR is a program EIR, which analyzed the environmental issucs, related to the land use locations, dcvelopment plans and policies contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Additionally, a Mitigated Negativc Declaration was adopted for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan in March 2004 which included the analysis of the significant environmental impacts of all parks currently proposed for development in the City of Dublin, including thc Fallon Sports Park. The park development will serve as a major sports field recreational facility for the City and is consistent with the Parks and Rccreation Master Plan adopted by the City in 2004, the Eastcm Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR, and the City of Dublin General Plan. The Initial Study in Attachment 3 for the 4- ~ l.- park improvements determined that with thc implementation of mitigation mcasurcs previously adopted for the Eastem Dublin Specific Plan/Amendment Area and with site-specific mitigation mcasures contained in the Initial Study for PA 05-021, any potential adverse environmental impacts of the project would be reduced to a level of insignificance and would not result in significant ctTccts on the environment. The Mitigated Negative Dcclaration/Initial Study was distributcd for public review and comment from April 26, 2005 through May 16,2005, for 20 days in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. Comments Received: Thc City received two letters during thc review period for the Fallon Sports Park Mitigated Negative Declaration. These letters are included as Attachment 4 to this agenda report, with Staffs response to the appropriate agcncy. One letter was received from the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to clarify their authority in the review of the project and to request a copy of the hydrological study prcparcd for the Area F grading project. The second letter included in the attachment is from the City of Livermore, which statcs their concems regarding the advcrsc impacts that thc project might have on the Livermore Airport and aircraft in the area. No other comments have been received on the environmental document to date. Fish & Wildlife DeMinimis Impact Statement: The analysis contained in the previously certificd Eastem Dublin Specific Plan ETR, the subscqucnt environmental document for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, thc Mitigated Negative Declarations/Initial Studies for Area F of Dublin Ranch, and the Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study for the Fallon Sports Park Master Plan have adequately assessed any potential advcrsc cffects on fish and wildlife. No additional sensitive species or habitat has been identified for mitigation from that previously addressed in the related environmental documents for which actual mitigation measures are now underway in accordance with the appropriate permits from the State and Federal agencies. Therefore, there will be a less-than-significant impact on biological resources with development of the new sports park. Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff to prepare and file a Certificate of Fee Exemption for CDFG filing fees. A Resolution to adopt the drill Mitigated Negative Declaration for the sports park improvemcnt project is included in Attachment 2, with thc Mitigated Negative Declaration attached as Exhibit A. As conditions of approval for the project to further reduce the less-than-significant impacts of the project related to aesthetics/lighting, air quality, and biological resources have been rccommended in the Initial Study, a Mitigation Monitoring Program is required by the CEQA Statutes and Guidelines to be adopted with the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Mitigation Monitoring Program facilitates the implementation of the rccommended measures and is also attached to the Resolution as Exhibit B for adoption with the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Thc analysis and assessment contained in the Mitigated Negative Dcclaration/Initial Study for the Fallon Sports Park improvements and the associatcd Mitigation Monitoring Program satisfies thc rcquirements of the California Environmcntal Quality Act and provides the City with thc necessary information to review and approve the project. PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Final Draft Master Plan was presented to the Parks and Community Scrvices Commission at the May 23, 2005 special meeting. The Commission received the presentation and public commcnt, including comments from Task Force members. Thc Commission deliberated on elements of the plan and comment was made regarding the 90' baseball field and the option of removing it from the plan. The discussion included the overall programming requirements to scrve build-out of the City of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and limitations on future locations for a 90' baseball field should thc field be removed. In addition it was commented that the Master Plan is meant as a tempIate, and similar to the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan, it is flexible based upon future recreation needs. Upon completion of deliberations the Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Master Plan to the City Council. SOb Ie RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommcndation of Staff that thc City Council take the following action: I. Open Public Hcaring 2. Receive Staff and ConSLlllant Presentation (Final Drafì Master Plan) 3. Receive StaffPrcscntation (Environmental Review) 4. Reccivc Public Testimony 5. Close Public Hearing and Deliberate 6.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Master Plan Report outlines the desires, intentions, and objectives of the City of Dublin for the development of Fallon Sports Park. As part of the master plan process the City appointed a 22-person Task Force, representing the interests of particular groups, users, and residents. The "City of Dublin: Parks and Recreation Master Plan, March 2004 Update" (PRMP) was developed to assure the future development of parks throughout the City. The PRMP identified this 50-acre parcel on Fallon Road in eastern Dublin as a "park facility developed to accommodate the majority of competition ball fields in the City".' The Sports Park will also create linkages to adjacent open space, establish a focal element for the Dublin Community, and provide competition sports fields for tournament play. This vision will be realized through the Fallon Sports Park Master Plan, Throughout the design process the Task Force has taken part to help assure the Master Plan's acceptance by City residents and its relevance with current trends and demands. DESIGN ELEMENTS Based on input received from the Task Force and Parks and Community Services Commission meetings, a final list of park elements was developed to incorporate into the park. These elements are listed below: Sport Facilities 4-60' Little League fields 4 softball fields (2 lighted) 4 soccer fieids (2 lighted) 2 natural turf fields with a cricket field overlay 2 natural turf fields with synthetic turf option 1-90' baseball field (lighted) 4 tennis courts (lighted) 4 basketball courts (lighted) 4 bocce courts (lighted) 2 additional courts optional (lighted) 4 sand volleyball courts BMX course other Park Facilities Activity hubs/staff offices (200-300 sf) Restrooms Concessions Picnic plazas Play areas Art and water features (optional) Loop jogging trail (one mile) Family picnic areas with barbecues On-site parking for 459 cars (259 upper terrace parking spaces, and 200 lower terrace parking spaces) Lockable bicycle parking distributed throughout the park Shade structures 1. ·Cily (Jf Dublirt P;;¡rk~ õ1rld R"-'!¡,¡r8.::.tiún M,g~(¡;r Plan, March 2U04 Update," {March <W(4): 50.

This 1 DO-foot drop occurs over a length of 2,500 feet, creating an overall 4% slope across the site; it should be noted that much of the site exceeds 5%, which is considered to be the maximum slope for park usability. The site is bordered to the north and northwest by housin9 developments and a golf course, To the south and east. additional housing and a school site are planned for future development. On the western edge of the park and parallel to Lockhart Street is a continuous 70-foot-wide stream corridor that is being developed for environmental mitigation purposes. This stream corridor defines this western and northwestern edge of the park and will be reinforced with a series of riparian zone plantings. City of Dublin Fire Station #18 is located along Fallon Road approximately 20 to 30 feet higher than the park's existing finish grade and is supported by a large retaining wall. The overall site topography consists of rolling hills with two small valleys that create drainage channels across the site from its northern to southwestern boundary. The grass-covered, treeless rolling hills create attractive views to the east and to the south. The prevailing western winds often dominate the park environment. The existing soil is classified as being predominately of the Tassajara formation characterized by a high-clay content and poor drainage. MASTER PLANNING DESIGN PROCESS The Design Team worked closely with the Task Force members to include their participation in the design process. A total of seven Task Force meetings were held over a period of eight months. They included a site visit, participation in a design charrelte, presentations of different design schemes, input into the layout and form of the park, choosing the final design scheme, and giving input on the phasing options. Overail, these meetings allowed the Task Force to guide the design and have a primary role in the decision-making process.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GRADING CONCEPT In order to create usable, level surfaces for the facilities, and to accept .5 million to 1 million cubic yards offill from adjacent developments, two main terraces (upper and lower) have been created. These terraces create a dramatic grade change of 30 feet between each level and significant embankments at the northwest and southwest corners of the park. These terraces provide many opportunities for views and topographic interest throughout the park. The terracing also allows for two main vehicular entries, one off of Lockhart Street at the upper level on the western edge of the park, and the second off of Central Parkway on the southern edge of the lower level. SITE DRAINAGE All site drainage will connect to the perimeter storm drainage system running along Fallon Road and Central Parkway. Each field, hub, and parking lot will serve as its own watershed and will connect to the perimeter storm drainage system. Further, each terrace will be a closed drainage system that directs all water into the storm drainage system. No park drainage will enter the stream corridor, which will be controlled /",~ and maintained by the Home Owners' Association from the adjacent~¿; residential development. The stream corridor is only meant to accept drainage from northerly developments and is intended to be a wildlife corridor as it runs along the sports park. PARK FEATURES The park is designed to include memorable identification features and signage clearly directing visitors to specific facilities. Fallon Sports Park will be an identifiable and memorable park through the use of a ranch theme. This theme is exemplified by the split-rail-style fencing running the perimeter of the park and large, traditional "ranch gates" at the two main entrances. Other park elements such as play areas, trellis, and restrooms will incorporate colors and elements that reinforce the ranch theme. Activity hubs, located at the end of the entry drives and at the heart of each terrace, will create a sense of place and arrival. In addition, a series of sport and activity hubs will organize uses throughout the park. The circulation system will provide accessible paths throughout the park connecting the park facilities and providing neighborhood access. These neighborhood connections will link the park to the surrounding areas so that residents can easily walk to the park. The multiuse trail, located within the stream corridor, links the park to the Tassajara bike trail via the continuation ofthe stream corridor north along Fallon Road and south along the proposed extension of Lockhart Street acroSS Central Parkway. Sports facilities will be lighted to allow for tournament play and safety at night. Park hours will be dawn to dusk and lighted facilities will be open and lighted until 10 p.m. CARDUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA :j?\ ,," /. I ,1-\ ',", !;';" · · · · · · · · · · ¡.

INTRODUCTION The Master Plan is intended to guide the park development by defining the goals and establishing the design elements to be used at the Fallon Sports Park. The park is a 60·acre parcel located in the fast-growing eastern portion of Dublin. It was identified in the PRMP to contain the majority of competition sports fields; the PRMP lays the framework ' for all future park development in Dublin and has identified the need for 299.5 acres of land for public park use at build-out of the City. In addition, the City of Dublin will protect existing open space and provide linkages through trails, streets, and bikeways to connect these parks and open space resources. Fallon Sports Park has been identified as the site to provide the core of competition sports fields to serve the communitywide recreation needs in the City of Dublin. Master Plan Goals Seven major goals were established fo lead the Master Plan. These goals are as follows: 1. Create a focal and destination point in the City of Dublin, and create a regional attraction that welcomes users from surrounding communities. 2. Create a premier sports park with a wide range of fields and courts to be used for competitive and tournament play. 3. Provide lighted facilities for extended use and fournament play. Position lighted facilities in the center of the park to reduce glare impact on surrounding neighborhoods. 4. Develop the park adjacent to the 70-foot-wide (4-acre) stream ¥ corridor so that the park and the stream corridor complement each other and provide a large open space resource. 5. Provide a park like experience and recreational opportunities for non-sport users, such as picnic, play, walking trails, relaxation, etc. Promote nature appreciation through native plantings, stream corridor interaction, distant views, and open space connections. 6. Provide linkages to the regional bike system, other parks within the City, neighborhoods, and the adjacent private open space. 7. Create a clear traffic pattern with descriptive signage to allow visiting teams and out-of-town users ease in finding the site. In addition, provide clear descriptive signage giving directions to specific facilities on site. ~,"City ¡¡f DlJnlirl: Pi:lrk~ ¡¡nd Rt!L;T~il.liOIl Ms!òtE!r Plan, March 2004 Update," ¡March 2004): 23.

SITE CONTEXT AND ANALYSIS This eO-acre parcel is located approximately Y, mile north of 1-580 along the western edge of Fallon Road. Fallon Road, Gleason Drive, Lockhart Street. and Central Parkway will define the park boundary. Currently, residential developments and a golf course exist to the north and there are proposed residential developments to the west and to the south of the park. In addition, an elementary school is slated for development across from the park along Lockhart Street on the western edge of the site. The site's major landmark is City of Dublin Fire Station #18, which is positioned along the park's border on Fallon Road with a 20- to 30- foot-tall retaining wall on its eastern edge. Otherwise, the topography embodies the classical Northern Californian rolling hills. Natural waterways and drainage channels cross the site from the northeast to southwest. The site has significant grade changes with a 1 DO-foot vertical drop over a 2,500-foot horizontal distance from the most northerly point at the Fallon Road/Gleason Drive intersection to the most southerly point at the Lockhart Street/Central Parkway intersection. This grade change results in an overall slope of 4%. The existing soil is classified as being predominately of the Tassajara formation, which is characterized by a high clay content and poor drainage_ The stream corridor is being constructed by the developer of the adjacent housing project as part of the mitigation of environmental impacts from the surrounding developments_ The existing stream corridor wiil enter the park site at the Gleason Drive/Fallon Road intersection and continue along the western border of the site parallel to Lockhart Street. There are strict design guidelines for the stream corridor. It will be 70 feet wide and will incorporate a multiuse trail along its western edge. The ' streambed will have a 15-foot-wide flat bottom and 3H:1V (Horizontal: Vertical) maximum-sloped sides. It will be planted with a mixture of native grasses, trees and shrubs. No park drainage will enter this stream corridor along the western edge of Fallon Sports Park. CAROUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC SAN FRANCISCO, CALlFÓ¡;:NIA ',:.':; 'i'/' / .

This Master Planning resulted in an accurate assessment of the community's needs and a prioritization of facilities that offer the highest value to the entire community while appealing to all ages of Dublin residents. TASK FORCE MEETINGS During the cOurse of the project, Seven Task Force meetings were held, including informal introductions, site visits, and formal design meetings. The Task Force meetings are summarized as follows: Introductory Task Force Meeting Prior to beginning substantive work on the park. an initial informal introductory meeting with City Staff and Task Force members was held to discuss project scope, scheduie, site characteristics, design elements, budgetary goals, master planning process, and meetings. The Task Force members were also asked about their interests, needs, concerns, ideas, and suggestions. Informal Task Force Site Visit A site visit with the City Staff and the Task Force was conducted to assess the site characteristics. discuss site opportunities, constraints, views, natural systems, and contextual setting. Task Force Meeting #1 A design charrette waS held to give the Task Force members an opportunity to offer input and ideas into the park design. They were given grading plans and site element templates and created their own layouts for the park design. The Task Force members created seven ¡~::'. conceptual options and then chose three preferred schemes. i:'i~ ,·t'.~,\ iM ~ ~'"; Task Force Meeting #2 The Task Force responded to three refined Master Plan alternatives and chose their preferred plan. This plan was a combination of options from all three preferred schemes and incorporated additional comments from the meeting. Task Force Meeting #3 The preferred Master Plan was presented and approved by the Task Force. The plan was then brought before the Parks and Community Services Commission. .~)4'l.\fp.lfilfl\E ·~~I CARDUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INÇ SAN FRANCISCO, CALifORNIA V·1 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · SECTION V.

Task Force Meeting #5 The Master Plan and Phasing Plan were presented to the Task Force for review and comment. Budgetary constraints were also discussed. Parks and Community Services Commission Meeting #1 After the third Task Force Meeting the three master plan alternatives and preferred Master Plan were presented to the Parks and Community Services Commission. The Commission voiced concern with some of the items of the preferred plan, primarily that the site might not comfortably accommodate all of the elements and that not enough parking had been provided. They recommended that one 90' baseball field be dropped from the Master Plan to provide a better fit with the '..-' site and allow for additional parking. Parks and Community Services Commission Meeting #2 The Master Plan, Lighting Plan, Phasing Plan and cost estimates were presented to the Parks and Community Services Commission for review and comment. City Council Meeting The Master Plan, Lighting Plan, Phasing Plan, and cost estimates were presented to the City Council for review and comment. Throughout the Master Plan Process, Task Force members gave input and direction into the sports park development, allowing the design to meet the interests of the community.

DESIGN COMPONENTS In order to serve the needs and vision of the growing community and the vision of the City of Dublin, Fallon Sports Park will be the premier sports facility for all Dublin residents. The park will feature two terraces, with pedestrian and vehicular entries on each. The entries will have strong axial connections to the internal Park Activity hubs, which will provide a sense of place and arrival. The following section describes the specifics of the site and design elements. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The site will be graded into two main terraces to fit the sports fields within the 1 DO-foot overall elevation change from the Gleason Drive/Fallon Road intersection (+/-490 feet) to the Lockhart Street/Central Parkway intersection (+/-390 feet). This 1 DO-foot drop occurS over a 2,500-foot horizontal distance creating a 4% slope across the site. In addition, the terraces will be graded to allow vehicular entrances on both the upper and lower terraces. The grading will conform to all proposed edge conditions and will create "level" surfaces for the proposed field layouts. Approximately.5 million to 1 million cubic yards of import fill from adjacent developments will be used to create these terraces and will provide the majority of imported fill needed. A geotechnical report, created by Kleinfelder, Inc" states that slopes should be nO steeper than 2H:1V (Horizontal: Vertical), and where feasible, slopes should be no steeper than 3H:1V (Horizontal: Vertical).' In order to capitalize on the import fill and respond to the overall100-foot elevation change on site, two main terraces with a 25- to 30-foot grade change will create level surfaces for sport fields, accessible pathways, and proper drainage. A48-inch storm main drainage system will run the perimeter of the site along Fallon Road and Central Parkway. This storm drainage system will handle drainage from adjacent developments, roadways, and accommodate all of the park drainage. 1 ~I ]1 ~I'r'l êl),· !i . ~I 1 ,."--.;;.-" c.. '.

DESIGN COMPONENTS SPORTS FIELDS As noted in the PRMP, Fallon Sports Park is intended to be "a park facility developed to accommodate the majority of competition ball fields in the City'" that could be utilized for tournament play. The PRMP specifies two gO' baseball fields for the sports park, but one field was omitted due to site spatial and grading constraints. Through meetings with the Task Force and the Parks and Community Services Commission, a final list of park components was created. 4. "City I)fD!J~ilin: P;uk~ ¡:Inn RD¡:matiml Mæ.t~r Plõ:lrl, March 2004 Update,' (March ~UU4): !.IU. The existing drainage swales and channels that run across the site from the northerly to the southerly border will be put into subsurface drains. Due to the highly expansive nature of the clay soils, the natural turf fields will require additional subsurface drainage systems. This subsurface drainage will also connect to the perimeter storm drainage lines. The overall drainage concept creates individual watersheds that connect to the perimeter storm drainage system, Specifically, each field, hub. and parking lot will serve as its own watershed and will connect to the perimeter storm drainage system. Further, each terrace will be a closed drainage system that directs all water into the storm drainage system. No water from the terraces will drain over the embankments below the terraces. The upper terrace parking lot will either have a fossil filter system or a small bioswale and biobasin to filter and drain the parking lot water before it reaches the storm drainage system. In addition, the lower terrace will have a bioswale that will filter water from the parking lot along Central Parkway. The park drainage will not drain into the stream corridor, as on-site water used for irrigation will be recycled water and recycled water is not compatible with the stream corridor habitat mitigation.

'See Appendix IX - Section f. for further discussion on synthetic fields. PARK IDENTITY FEATURES Fallon Sports Park was designed to be a memorable park utilizing a ranch theme. This theme is exemplified by the ranch-style fencing running the perimeter of the park and the large, traditional "ranch-gate" entryways at the two main entrances. In addition, on the four surrounding intersections, thematic signage will identify the park. It is important that the park create a rnernorable arrival experience, as it will be used by residents from Dublin and surrounding communities. PARK ENTRIES The entries to the park, celebrated by the large entryways, will welccrne visitors into an exciting sports destination. The entryways distinguish the park from other facilities in the City of Dublin, as a "focal element for (the) Dublin Comrnunity.'" The upper terrace will have a vehicular "bridge" crossing the stream corridor and the lower terrace vehicular entry will be on grade. There will be a pedestrian bridge on the southern portion of Lockhart Street providing access from the proposed school and on-street parking. All entries will provide visitors with a sense of place and arrival as they enter the park. 5. "City 01 Dublin: Perils emd Rl¡lc~;;rtion M;¡sW PI;In, Mõln::h 2004 Updi:lt~," (Mar<.::h 2004): 50. CARDUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC SAN FRANCISCO, CAliFORNIA · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · SECTION VI. DESIGN COMPONENTS The October 23, 2003 TJKM Traffic Study proposed one four-way intersection on Lockhart Street at the entrance to the park.' The current plan shows two intersections on Lockhart Street: one at the park entrance, which wili remain a four-way intersection with one lane in and two lanes out. and one three-way intersection across from the pedestrian bridge. Both these intersections will connect with streets from the adjacent neighborhoods. At the time of the report no study had been completed on the lower terrace entry off Central Parkway. Although a preferred entry location for the park site is shown, further study of this entrance is needed as a housing development is planned directly across from the park on Central Parkway. It is expected that the lower terrace vehicular entry will also have one lane in and two lanes out, but a new traffic study or intersection requirement confirmation is needed. AUTOMOBILE PARKING The entries lead the visitors to tree-shaded parking areaS located in the heart of the park, close to the facilities. As indicated in the PRMP, it was projected that the park would need roughly 500 parking spaces to serve its proposed facilities. Through the Master Planning process, and due to tight spatial and grading restrictions, a total of 459 parking spaces are located within the park. These spaces will be divided into two main lots with one off of each entry. An additional 84 on-street parking spaces will be directly related to the park on Lockhart Street and Central Parkway, as well as possible overflow parking at the proposed school across Lockhart Street. This provides for a total of 459 on-site parking spaces and 84 on-street parking spaces, adding up to 543 total parking spaces related to the park (See parking analysis table). PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION A system of pathways provides access to all areas and activities. The pathway system provides neighborhood connections to promote community use and access from alt sides of the park. These neighborhood connections allow community residents to go for walks in the park on a loop pathway system. All pathways on site are accessible and connect to perimeter sidewalks. Pedestrian circulation pathways take advantage of the unique site characteristics such as views from the upper terrace, axial views from the main entry points, and interaction with the stream corridor edges. In particular, the pathways provide connections between facilities and will clearly direct and guide the visitors throughout the 60-acre park. There is an internal pathway system that connects the facilities and a perimeter loop system for exercise and walking. These pathways connect to the local neighborhood, the Dublin community, and the regional Tassajara bike trail.

DESIGN COMPONENTS NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS It is essential to link the park to the surrounding neighborhoods and to the Dublin community through pathways and bike trail connections. There will be Class 2 Bike Lanes along Fallon Road, Gleason Drive, and Central Parkway and a multiuse trail along the stream corridor on Lockhart Street that connects Fallon Sports Park to the Dublin community. BICYCLE PARKING To encourage bicycling to and from the park, the Master Plan includes lockable bicycle parking distributed throughout the park at locations convenient to the park facilities and activity areas. SEATING AND PICNIC AREAS The Master Plan provides opportunities for sitting, viewing, picnicking, and barbecuing at various iocations throughout the park. Although the park will be a premier sports park, it also provides activities for non-sport users. A series of small picnic areas are dispersed throughout the site along the pathway system. At each of the two picnic plazas, there is group picnic seating for 100 people with an expansion area for 200. Each terrace will have approximately equal picnicking capacities, as there is an even distribution of tables at each terrace. The Little League and softball plazas are located within the sport hubs, each with a large picnic plaza to allow for tournament or end-of-season celebrations. In addition, smaller picnic plazas and picnic areas are dispersed throughout the park. HUBS Separate hubs or concentrated use groupings are the concepts behind organizing and defining spaces and activities throughout the park. The activity hubs, defined with special paving and planting, will create a sense of place for the arrival on each terrace. In addition, the sport hubs will group each sport type and related facilities to create gathering and viewing places for the user. Each hub includes some enclosed dry and lockable storage for use by leagues and similar organizations. ACTIVITY HUBS These activity hubs will be composed of the following activities: Upper Terrace Activity Hub Restroom/staff offices (200-300 sf) Picnic plaza (covered with overhead arbor) Play area Shade trees Water or art feature (optional) Lower Terrace Activity Hub Restroom Adventure play area Shade trees Water or art feature (optional) CARDUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC SAN ~~ANCIS.CO, CALIfORNIA · · · · · · · · · · .. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · SECTION VI.

DESIGN COMPONENTS Mounting Height and Foot Candle Table As seen in the Mounting Height and Foot Candle Table, sports lighting depends on the desired level of play. Competition play demands greater illumination while lighting for recreation purposes reduces the illumination and the cost. To be a premier sports park, the competition level lighting should be provided. LIGHTING Lighting requirements in the park differ between sports, vehicular and pedestrian. The vehicular and pedestrian lighting will identify the entries and provide orientation for park visitors. In order to minimize any potential impacts to the surrounding developments, the sports lighting will be concentrated at the center of the park and across from the proposed school site. All lighting will be designed with "cut-off' style lights, which direct illumination down and not out. Lighting Criteria: Light required areas only Light only paths that connect lighted facilities to parking lots Light pathways to minimum requirements to discourage nighttime use Light parking lots for nighttime safety Light entries to distinguish park from street and to welcome users Park hours will be dawn to dusk and until 10 p.m. for lighted facilities Provide specific lighting types for specified facilities (as noted in the Lighting Table) Sport Field Lighting 1 baseball field 2 softball fields 2 soccer fields 4 tennis courts 4 basketball courts 2 bocce courts (2 additional courts optional) cARDuCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC .sAN FRANcISCO, (:ALI~ORNIA MAINTAINED FOOT CANDLES FACILITY I USE MOUNTING HEIGHT Com tltlonlR:!çllllõltion 2SoMball fields In~~ld 50' 50/30 Outfield SO'-sh::leJlnIjlJ70'.ouffield 30/2(1 1 BsseballField Ini~ld ",' 50/30 Outfield 90'_sldDlinc/80'_outfleold ~O /2Ð ,'I " 2 Soccer rït!ldt¡ 70' 30/20 4 lennl6 CO~1I1~ 3D' 30/20 4 8~~kelbi:lll Cóuri¡;¡ 3D' 30/20 4I:1occeCour\~ 3D' 10f5 SpúnHuba 14' 1 Açtivi1yHub5 14' ;~ ' VahicularEnlrles 20' '"'" Arriv;¡IIDrnp,(¡ff 20' PedE.'~llia¡) Bridge 3D' -'EI!1!:lnglighling 20' 0.' at pDrimeter ;!and 1 Ie 8Vertllg19 P;:¡U~ Lil:1Mir"lg 14' 0.'

DESIGN COMPONENTS PLANTING Due to the varying terrain and park uses, different plant materials will be used to define park elements; the planting will reinforce the uSe and reflect the landforms. In addition the park will be irrigated with recycled water that will limit some types of planting. The Master Plan identifies seven tree types for Fallon Sports Park; Street Trees (perimeter street trees consistent with the Planning Department requirements and the overall planned development) Entry Trees (formal trees identifying the entries) Accent Trees (attractive, seasonal, colorful trees reinforcing areas of interest) Deciduous Shade Trees (lining parking lots and pathways at sport hubs) Evergreen Screen Trees (as backdrops to baseball, Little League. and softball fields) Native Riparian Edge Trees (to relate to stream corridor and provide wildlife habitat) Native Oak and Sycamore Groves (on slopes to provide shade, add interest. and frame views) IRRIGATION The irrigation system should be designed for water conservation, flow management, energy efficiency and interface with any future Central Irrigation System. The irrigation system will use recycled water in accordance with the Dublin San Ramon Services District standards. Where the facilities such as softball, Little League, baseball, soccer, picnic, and play areas will have users in potential contact with the water, any irrigation will need to be done after 10 p.m. and before dawn. Nonreçycled water will be used specifically for washing down areas, field hoses, watering of synthetic fields for cooling, water features, etc. The recycled water is not to be used in areas where there will be human contact. It is also mandatory that recycled water does not drain into the stream corridor and instead drains into the perimeter storm drainage system. The recycled water system will run during non-use times between the hours of 10 p.m. and dawn. Refer to irrigation and recycled water demand analysis and DSRSD water flow and pressure information in Appendix IX-Section e.

Therefore, the park will be developed in phases that include Phase 1 , and Subsequent Phases that will be subdivided, if needed, as the project evolves. Phase 1 Phase 1 developments will provide a variety of activities and uses while developing the core of the upper terrace to create a cohesive and self-contained park. A significant portion of the upper terrace facilities are shown in Phase 1 because it is projected that Lockhart Street will be completed first, allowing for vehicular access.

Tentative Schedule for Road Completion Dates: Gleason Road - Completed Lockhart Street- Complete 2005/2006 Stream Corridor - Will be constructed along with Lockhart Street (including stream corridor on Gleason Drive) Fallon Road - Northern half of road, storm drainage, southern half of mass grading, plus two lanes - Comptete 2004/2005 Widen and complete Fallon Road - Complete 2006/2007 Central Parkway - Complete 2006/2007 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT The Dublin Ranch Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) included Fallon Sports Park. The EIR did not identify specific park uses, which will require the City to file a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Impact (Neg. Dec.). Staff has prepared the Neg. Dec. in conjunction with this Master Plan report to allow for all future design and construction to move forward without further environmental review. The exception would be if any of the uses addressed in the Master Plan are changed or added to, as this may require the environmental review to be reopened. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · CARDUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA · · · · · · · · · · · ¡. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · SECTION VIII.

The designs were posted on the wall and the schemes were reviewed to identify what issues were most important to the members. A rating system was used to identify the members' design scheme preferences. Members were asked to place colored stickers on the drawings to identify their preferred scheme; the sticker identification is as follows; Red-3 points, Green- 2 points, Blue-1 point. The following Table displays the points given to each scheme. Fallon Sports Psrk - May 26, 2004 Preference Matrix for Design Charette Schemes RED 5 1 2 2 2 0 0 (multiply x 3) .... -... GREEN 2 6 1 1 0 1 1 (multiply x 2) BLUE 0 3 2 1 3 3 0 (multiply x 1) TOTAL 19 18 10 9 9 5 2 (weighted value) All schemes are listed in order of preference as chosen by the Task Force members. Schemes A and B were the favorites while Schemes C, D, and E closely followed. Because there is no clear third preference, we will develop a composite of Schemes C, D, and E identifying the best components and layouts of each.

Ted Fairfield Park drainage is terrible. · Field drainage options: - Sand channel - Sand field - Synthetic turf · Each field to be a separate watershed · Drainage to be accepted and directed to major storm drainage system at Fallon Road and Central Parkway BMX · Need electricity to BMX course, but not necessarily for lighting, as lighting is not required_ 1 inch water hook-ups (QCVs) needed at the inside of each turn_ Drainage should occur at the inside of each turn_ Linear drains (French drains) could also line the track in between the straight-aways (said either could be done) · Is the BMX a fully open area or is it fenced? - will be fenced all around, minimum 4' high chain link fence · Need sedimentation and erosion control at BMX LIGHTING · Light only major connector paths consistent with other city parks · Keep lighting at perimeter entries and parking lots, but keep to minimum where possible (ie. parking lots) -do not light in park · Provide lighting for nighttime events (therefore might need some path iights from/to specific areas that would be used at night · Operation times for park lighting - Games start as iate as 7:45 or 8;30 - Possibly have field lights go off at 10:00pm - Existing city park rules have operation times dawn to dusk - Existing city park rules have field lights turn off at 10:00pm - Keep in mind that sports are seasonal · Keep lighting in center of park - Concerned with light glare - Use glare reduction systems if possible · Light the parking lots and especially the pedestrian bridge CARDUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC. 555 BEACH STREET SAN FRANCISCO, CA ~4133 (415) 674-0990 FAX (415) 674-099~ www.carducciassociates.comdavid@carducciassocÎates.com LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.

FENCING · Are the fields fenced? · fences needed for tournaments - softball and baseball needs fences for big games or tournaments or teams - fences are needed to attract teams and tournaments, they will not corne without the fences PARK DEVELOPMENT · The city has new standards for soil amendment · What is the financial reality of Fallon, especially, in terms of Emerald Glen Park, if the money is not available yet for Emerald Glen Park what is supposed to help pay for its construction costs - developers pay through impact fees - neighborhood park fees · community park fees - the city has taken everything into account, and the park will happen - problems at EGP are because they need more manpower, not because the funds are not available - each phase takes at least 3 years to plan, design, and build · The City sees Fallon as a premier sports park · See ground-breaking to potentially be in 2-3 years after first phase funding is approved by the council · Private development west of Fallon Park is working from west to east - Might be able to make interim intersection of Fallon and Central if new Fallon alignment is not constructed yet - Pedestrian bridge axis/location is adjustable dependent upon elementary school and intersection locations · Stream corridor to continue on south side of Central Parkway (MacKay & Somps to provide plans) · At Lockhart 12' or 16' walkway adjacent to corridor? Sidewalk becomes corridor walkway ADDITIONAL ITEMS · Is it possible to have shade structures in play area itself? · Would like pathways to be large enough to allow for bikes. Strollers, and people to move easily · Provide shade trees/areas by soccer fields and other fields for viewing · Use embankments for seating opportunities · Provide equipment sheds for each sport where possible (maybe the 8' x 20" containers) · Can we make the soccer goals permanent? · This might be a conflict with the cricket fields · Walking/running path could have a softer surface for jogging, possibly DG, resin paving, or dirt CARDUCCI & ASSOCIATES, INC. 555 BEACH STREFT SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94133 (415) 674-0990 FAX (415) 674-0999 www.carducciassociates.comdavid@carducciassociates.com LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE .

Task force does not want this situation at Fallon Sports Park · Synthetic turf is a permeable surface and will work well with drainage plan BMX · A rough grade for the BMX course can be used initially LIGHTING · Most of the lighted sports fields lighting would be constructed during Phase 1. There is concern that adjacent future neighbors would be upset with construction of sports lighting after the purchase their property. It is better for lights to already be present before new developments are finished near lighted sports fields NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS · Toll Brothers will start development on the west side of the site. They wili be responsible for the curb and stream corridor along Lockhart linking Lockhart Lane from curb to stream corridor PLAY AREA · The consideration of a tot lot near the Little League and softball hubs may be dangerous due to balls flying into the play areas ADDITIONAL ITEMS · Incorporation of a space or opportunity for on-site staff to manage park facilities. Due to large size of park, it may be important for someone to be present to monitor the park · Need to understand that the park stays on track as a sports park before considering other items PHASING · Phase 1 to include 2 Little League fields and 2 lighted softball fields. Two lighted and synthetic turf Soccer fields should be included in Phase 1 due to a high demand as well · Most lighted fields should be built first · Include the priority of demand/need for Phase 1. For example phasing must meet demands for Dublin and East Dublin Little League. There is currently high demand for Little League and that demand will most likely continue to grow. Little league can use softball fields as a temporary solution · BMX course can be a rough graded area included in Phase 1 · The time frames for each should be determined by next meeting. Mostly depends on the funding available, but are probably look at 2-3 years for each phase · Come to final conclusions on Phase 1 without having to be locked into Phases 2 and 3, leave the rest open for future phases · Phasing for alternative 1 looks good End of Meeting Notes Attendees are to notify Carducci & Associates, Inc., in writing, of discrepancies in these minutes.

The analysis is based on the following data: Approximate park area: 62.44 acres Approximate turf area: 40.00 acreS Approximate unplanted area: 22.44 acreS 1 cubic feet of water = 7.48052 gallons Irrigation water will be recycled water. Recycled water static pressure is approximately 130 psi at the corner of Fallon Road and Gleason Drive and 74 psi at the corner of Central Parkway and Lockhart Street according to the memos dated 3-22·05 from Rudy Portugal of the Dublin San Ramon Services District. This analysis ignores the use of synthetic turf for two soccer fields (3.67 acres). Synthetic turf would save water consumption and optimize maintenance resources and reduce impacts of overuse of the other turf fields. Park Acres Street Frontage Turf Acres Acres Phase 1 26.42 0 17.00 Upper Terrace Phase 14.41 0.68 11.00 Lower Terrace Phase 19.75 1.18 12.00 Total 60.58 1.86 40.00 The maximum evaporation rate would be approximately 0.25 inches per day or 7.75 inches per month (July). The plant factor for turf would be 80% of the maximum evaporation rate. The irrigation efficiency would be 80%. The watering window would be 10 PM to 6 AM or 8 hours. Turf summer irrigation requirements: 40.00 acres x 0.25 inches per day x 0.80 plant factor divided by 0.80 irrigation efficiency x 27,154 gallons per acre inch = 271 ,154 gallons per day. 8-hour window requirements: 271,154 gallons per day divided by 480 minutes = 565 GPM or approximately 600 GPM Provide two irrigation water connections, two at the upper terrace to make use of the static water pressure for recycled water of approximately 130 psi. Phase 1 and Upper Terrace Turf summer irrigation requirements: 28.00 acres x 0.25 inches per day x 0.80 plant factor dividad by 0.80 irrigation efficiency x 27,154 gallons per acre inch = 190,078 gallons per day.

The basis for creation of the Park was the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan updated in 2004, which also outlined the specific program elements to be included in Fallon Sports Park. As there was a need for a large competition ball field park to serve the growing community in the eastern portion of Dublin, and also the rest of the Dublin community, the Master Plan directed such facilities to be located on the subject 60-acre parcel (see Exhibit A). The City Council appointed a 22- member task force to study these program elements and design options beginning in March 2004. Working with City staff, a design consultant, Carducci & Associates, and other members of the connnunity, various design options and associated park elements and features were refined for the inclusion in the final Fallon Sports Park Master Plan, presented to the City Council in December 2004. The Master Plan for the Park includes such recreational facilities to serve the community as sports fields, play areas, plazas, restroorns and concession buildings, trails and associated parking areas, with linkages to large open space areas. It is anticipated that the Park will be built in three phases as shown in the diagram in Exhibit E. Location: Fallon Sports Park is located near major transportation corridors such as Fallon Road, Gleason Drive, Central Parkway and Lockhart Street within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and. General Plan Amendment planning area of the City, ensuring convenient access for all members of the Dublin community (see Exhibit B). Its location in east Dublin is in an area experiencing a great deal of growth at this time based on the implementation of the Specific Plan adopted in 1994. The existing land use development pattern and projected land uses in the east will likely double the size and population of the City within the next 20 years. Recreational Features and Facilities: The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan directs the growth of infrastructure, connnunity centers and parks such as the Fallon Sports Park and other park sites to meet the future demands of the Dublin community under the projected land uses in Specific Plan. The Specific Plan provided the necessary land use framework for development of the 60-acre park site by establishing the goals and priorities for development of parklands and. recreational spaces in the eastern portion of the City, in a portion of an area known as Dublin Ranch, Area F. With consideration to the land use established by the Specific Plan for the property, and based on the various elements and features identified in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan with input from the Task Force and Parks and Community Services Commission meetings, the Fallon Sports Park Master Plan has been designed to include the following recreational features and facilities as shown in Exhibit C: Sport Facilities: a. 4-60' Little League Fields; City of Dublin Initial Smdy & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sport, Park PA 05-021 Page 4 April 26, 2005 \11 b. 4 Softball Fields (2 lighted); c. 4 Soccer FieJds (2 lighted). 2 natural turf fields with cricket field overlay 2 natural turf fields with synthetic turf option; d. 1-90' Baseball Field (lighted); e. 4 Bocce Courts (lighted). 2 additional courts optional (lighted); f. 4 Basketball Courts (lighted); g. 4 Sand Volleyball Courts; and, h. BMX Course. Other Park Facilities: 1. Activity Hubs J. Picnic Plazas and Family Picnic Areas (with barbeques); k. Play Areas; I. On-Site Parking and street frontage improvements; m. Loop Jogging Trail; n. Connecting Trails to adjacent open space; o. Art and Water Features (optional); p. Lockable Bicycle Parking throughout Park; q. Restrooms & Concessions; and. r. Shade Structures. OTIlER RELATED ACTIONS The Fallon Sports Park is the eastern portion of Area F, in the original 186-acre Jordon property presently being developed for residential use. Grading activities have commenced on the future park site in conjunction with the development of Area F in Dublin Ranch in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. along with preliminary infrastructure improvements. These activities were analyzed and evaluated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (March 2000) adopted by the Dublin City Council for Area F (PA 98-068, Reso. No. 34-00), and also in the Addendum (PA 01-037) adopted by the City Council (Reso. No. 43-04) in March 2004 for the Area F North Project. Subsequently. a preliminary grading plan (see Exhibit D) for the park land area was prepared as part of the Area F overall grading plans. On the western edge of the park property, running parallel to Lockhart Street and its intersection with Gleason Drive, is a continuous 70-foot wide open channel stream corridor being enhanced for environmental mitigation purposes related to development of Area F. The park site topography consists of rolling hills and two small valleys, with. an overall 4 % slope over the entire property. Construction of site improvements requires grading with related cut and fin to balance the soil on the property, thereby facilitating the improvements and recreational uses planned. Stormwater drainage on the site City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park PA 05-021 PageS April 26,2005 \\( will be provided through a series of swales and filtration methods, to eventually channel stormwater to connections with the existing on-site facilities. Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD), in accordance with DSRSD's Eastern Dublin Facilities Master Plan, will provide water, sewer and recycled water services. Sewer service for the project will be accommodated through a connection to the existing sewer system owned and maintained by the DubJin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD). Recycled water from DSRSD will be used for irrigation purposes, reducing the need for potable water. Additionally, irrigation and drainage requirements are provided and planned for all on-site improvements. PREVIOUS ENVffiONMENT AL DOCUMENTS Approval of the General Plan / Eastern DubJin Specific Plan Amendments, Planned Development Rezoning / Development Plans, future Tentative Map and amendment to the Development Agreement for Area F of Dublin Ranch are within the Dublin General Plan's Eastern Extended Planning Area and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area, which was the subject of an Environmental Impact Report, certified by the City of Dublin in 1993 (Addenda to the EIR were also approved., dated May 4, 1993 and August 22, 1994). The General Plan/Specific Plan EIR is a program EIR, which anticipated several subsequent actions related to future development in Eastern Dublin. The EIR did identify some impacts from implementation of the General Plan/Specific Plan that were not able to be mitigated. Upon certification of the EIR, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for several impacts, some of which relate to this project. The City also adopted a mitigation-monitoring program, which included measures intended to reduce impacts from the development of Eastern Dublin area. These mitigation measures apply to project approvals and actions at various stages in the development process, and will be applied to this project as applicable. The timing of the mitigation measures was indicated in the City's EIR mitigation monitoring matrix (City Council Resolution No.53-93) and was to be incorporated into the timing of the development of Area F. Through the Initial Study process discussed above, several issues presented themselves requiring additional analysis, and, ultimately, mitigation measures which resulted in an additional Mitigated Negative Declaration to be prepared for Area F. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was published for review on November 9, 1999, for the mandatory 30-day review period. Based on discussions with the project applicants, measures to mitigate loss of on-site breeding and movement (estivation) habitat for both species within Planning Area F, including the portion of the corridor on the Fallon Sport Park site, were refined and included in the original Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. Mitigation for the impacts consists of permanently creating suitable red-legged frog and California tiger salamander habitat and preserving a minimum 63-acre site in the northern drainage area of the Dublin Ranch property. Other mitigations have also been included. The amended mitigation measures reduced impacts to biological resources to a less-than-significant level (document is incorporated by reference). Page 6 City of Dublin initial Study & Mitigated Negativc Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05-021 April 26, 2005 Il1 The park site has been the subject of subsequent environmenta.l reviews as applications for various phases of the Dublin Ranch development were submitted to and approved by the City. The park site was once included within Areas Band E of Dublin Ranch (known as the "Area F/B/E Project"), and the City approved a Negative Declaration for that project on November 18, 1997 through Resolution 140-97. The Negative Declaration evaluated an area of approximately 453 acres, consisting of Dublin Ranch Areas B through E, and proposed for a variety of residential and non-residential uses, as well as a community park site of approximately 42 acres. The portions of Areas B and E analyzed at that time included residential uses and the community park site configured to be approximately 65 acres. For the portions of the project within Area F, the City approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration on February 15, 2000 through Resolution 34-00. Following the approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration in 2000, the City prepared an Initial Study dated February 9, 2004, for the Area F area to determine whether supplemental environmental impacts would occur as a result of this project beyond or different from those already addressed in the Program EIR and the previous Negative Declaration and Mitigated Negative Declaration, incorporated by refernece. The Initial Study reviewed the proposed reconfiguration of uses, including the use of 60 acres for a community park, and recent environmental studies prepared for the Area F project. These studies included a TJKM traffic report containing projected traffic volumes based on the various land uses proposed with the project. Since the prior reviews, the applicant also has obtained permits from state and federal agencies for alteration of wetlands and has implemented related offsite mitigation, as anticipated in the prior reviews and further described in the Initial Study for the project, and incorporated here by reference. The Initial Study determined that the Area F project would cause no environmental impacts beyond those previously identified in the Eastern Dublin EIR, the subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Negative Declaration based on the project description and the minor nature of the changes proposed by the project, evaluation of the prior reviews, and evaluation of recent reports. Under these circumstances, a CEQA Addendum was prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164, and adopted by the City Council on March 16, 2004. Additionally, the proposed Fallon Sports Park was included in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2004 Update (PA 04-035) and the acreage used in determining City community park acreage along with the type of facilities to be included in the park, for which the City Council adopted a Negative Declaration on March 16, 2004 (Reso. No. 48-04). An Initial Study was prepared for the Master Plan 2004 Update in accordance with City environmental guidelines and CEQA Guidelines. The Initial Study concluded that implementation of the specific changes to park lands and open space in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2004 Update would not pose any significant environmental impacts and a Negative Declaration was prepared. A copy of City Council Resolution No. 48-04 and associated infonnation is included as incorporated in this document by reference. As the various sports fields, courts and other facilities pertinent to the development and successful future of the Master Plan for Fallon Sports Park were not analyzed in depth in previous environmental documents noted here, but only as a general land use category of community park, this Mitigated City ofDubliu Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05-021 Pagc 7 April 26, 2005 IW documents noted here, but only as a general land use category of community park, this Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study analyzes the development and design of the specific types of activity and passive areas to be developed within the boundaries of Fallon Sports Park.

City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park PA 05-021 Page 25 April 26, 2005 I~~ ATTACHMENT TO INITIAL STUDY: DISCUSSION OF CHECKLIST Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures I. Aesthetics a-c) Significant impact on scenic vista, damage to scenic resource, degrade visual character of the site or create light or glare? LesNhan-~'ignificant The project site is vacant and consists of gently rolling hills and valleys. Historically, grazing and cultivation of agricultural crops took place on the subject 60-acre parcel. The visual image of the land is formed by patterns of the soil that have been furrowed. The improvements proposed with the development of the sports fields and the other recreational amenities will, naturally, alter the appearance of the undisturbed farmland, but not to a potential significant level. The park use will continue to be an open space type use and be enhanced with landscaping and provide trail links to other open space acres. The development of the property as a park will provide scenic and landscaped views ftom Central Parkway to Lockhart Street and the trail along the creek corridor adjacent to the street and Gleason Drivc. The parking lot areas accessed from Lockhart Street and Central Parkway will be screened with improved landscaped areas and vegetation, as will the tennis courts and ball fields. From the residential areas west of the crcek alignment and Lockhart Street, and those to the southwest and northeast of Fallon Road, the most prominent visual features will be the enhanced creek corridor along the park's western edge and the landscaping surrounding the park. The active recreational features and areas will be several hundred fect and across roadways from the homes. Views of the site arc limited to the immediate area and from the 1-580 freeway. Although, the proposed park is located one mile north ofI-580 freeway, which is a designated scenic highway, the park is not within a scenic route. Visual impacts were addressed in the Eastern Dublin EIR (Impact 1M 3.8/C. Obscuring of Distinctive Native Features) and it was determined that no measures would reduce the impacts to a less-than-signifìcant degree. Other mitigation measures (3.8/4.0 through 4.5,5.0 and 5.1) have been included in the Eastern Dublin ErR to reduce the impacts of hillside development. The EIR concluded this impact would be a potentially significant irreversible change and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by thc City Council. The parcel ofland where the park development is proposed is slightly hilly with an overall 4% slope and is at a lower clevation than much of the surrounding land. Specifically, the construction of park features and landscaping will benefit the existing visual character of the park. These improvements would provide street frontage landscaping, ranging from lawn areas to annual grasses, garden areas and trees, and improve the visual community landscape of the area. As visual quality was discussed in the earlier analyses of thc community park site and addressed in the Final Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR, any development of urban uses in Eastern Dublin would inalterably change the character of the area. The development of a community park at this location was addressed by the previous documentation related to Area F, cited as references, and City of Dublin Initial Stody & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sporto Park PA 05-021 Page 26 April26, 2005 ¡----- I I I I ! ? 1~ found to have a less-than-significant effect on visual quality in the area, based on the resulting visual benefits to the community provided by the newly landscaped areas and the presence of the open space and recreational use. No impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR (EDSP EIR) and the subsequent documents related to Area F of Dublin Ranch will occur as a result of the proposed project. Additionally, measures to maintain the visual quality of the area, especially from views along scenic corridors in Eastern Dublin. Mitigation measures. 3.8/1.0 through 3.8/8.1 of the EDSP EIR require that grading be done sensitively to reduce visual impacts. These mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project. d) Less-than-signijicant with Mitigation. The Master Plan for Fallon Sports Park contains infonnation on the lighting needs for the uses at the park. The park will generally be open from dusk to dawn; however, the various sports fields, courts and associated parking lots will be lighted. The project may create additional light and glare for SUtTOundiog single-family residential neighborhoods. Low-level lighting will be used along walkways and trail. Sensor lighting lamps with low wattage are proposed for the parking area. New street lights and other security lighting combined with thc night lighting for the courts and fields at the park could create a "spill over" effect oflight in the residential areas closest to the site, and may operate as late as 10:00 PM. The following mitigation measure will be added to the project to ensure that the lighting is adequate for the use and unobtrusive to surrounding residences: Mitieation Measure 1: A photometric study shall be provided with final construction drawings of the project prior to the issuance of an electrical pennit for installation of any lighting. "Spill over" lighting shall be kept to a minimum to prevent disturbance and intrusion into residential areas through the use of lower lighting, with light standards for fields and courts designed to minimize the light intrusion into residential areas. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact of nighttime lighting to a level of less-than-significant II, Agricultural Resources a-c) Convert Prime Farmland, conflict with agricultural zoning or convert prime farmland to a non- agricultural use? Le~'!.·than-signijicant. Historically, grazing and cultivation of agricultural crops took place on the subject 60~acre parcel when it was part of the greater Dublin Ranch area. Surrounding areas near the park have been planned for conversion from agricu1tural use to urban and residential uses since 1994. The Eastern Dublin Specific PIan/Gencral Plan Amendment EIR, the Master Plan for Fallon Sports Park, the Negative Declaration prepared for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and other environmental analysis of Dublin Ranch and Area F in 1997, 2000 and 2004 have concluded that the area will be urbanized during the next five years. The park land contains no current agricultural zoning or fannland, and is zoned for use as a community park, consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan designation of Parks/Public Recreation & City Park. Approval and construction of the proposed project would allow further City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park PA 05-021 Page 27 April 26, 2005 Ie.¡.¡) development ofland for a much needed sports field park to provide recreational activity areas for surrounding residents and the cormnunity. Discontinuation ofagricultural use orloss offarmland oflocal importance were considered less-than-significant impacts in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR and previous environmental analyses for Dublin Ranch Area F. Therefore, less-than~significant impacts are anticipated with regard to prime farmland or loss of agricultural production for the sports park property. Based on information contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, no portion of the site is nor has been encumbered with a Williamson Act Land Conservation Agreement Similarly, No impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR are expected to occur as a result of the proposed project. Ill, Air Quality Environmental Setting The project is within the Amador Valley, a part of the Livermore sub-regional air basin distinct ftom the larger San Francisco Bay Area Basin. The Livermore sub-area basin is surrounded on all sides by high hills or mountains. Significant breaks in the hills surrounding the air basin are Niles Canyon and the San Rarnon Valley, which extends northward into Contra Costa County. According to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR and other environmental studies, the terrain of the Amador Valley influences both the climate and air pollution potential of the sub-regional air basin. As an inland, protected valley, the area has generally lighter winds and a higher frequency of calm conditions when compared to the greater Bay Area. The occurrence of episodes of high atmospheric stability, known as inversion conditions, severely limits thc ability of the atmosphere to disperse pollutants vertically. Inversions can be found during all seasons in the Bay Area, but are particularly prevalent in the summer months when they are present about 90% of the time in both morning and afternoon. Additionally, during the winter, the sheltering effect of terrain and its inland location results in ftequent surface-based inversions. Under these conditions pollutants such as carbon monoxide from automobiles and particulate matter generated by fireplaces and agricultural burning can become concentrated. According to the Bay Area Quality Management District, air pollution potential is high in the Livermore-Amador Valley, especially for ozone in the summer and fall. High temperatures increase the potential for ozone, and the valley not only traps locally generated pollutants but can be the receptor of ozone and ozone precursors from upwind portions of the greater Bay Area. Transport of pollutants also occurs between the Livermore Valley and the San Joaquin Valley to the east Ambient air quality standards Both the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency and the California Air Resources Board have City ofDubhn Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration FaUon Sports Park P A 05-021 Page 28 April 26, 2005 \ 'f I established ambient air quality standards for common pol1utants. These ambient air quality standards are levels that avoid specific adverse health effects associated with each pollutant. The ambient air quality standards cover what are called "criteria" pollutants because the health and other effects of each pollutant are described in criteria documents. The federal and California ambient air quality standards are summarized in Table 1 for important pollutants. The federal and state ambient standards were developed independently with differing purposes and methods, although both federal and state standards are intended to avoid health-related effects. As a result, the federal and state standards differ in some cases. In general, the California state standards are more stringent. This is particularly true for ozone and PMIO. Table 1. Federal and State Ambient Air Quality Standards Pollutant Averaging Twe Federal State .1 Primary Standard Standard Ozone I-Hour 0.12 PPM 0.09 PPM 8-Hour Carbon Monoxide 8-Hour 9PPM 9.0 PPM I-Hour 35 PPM 20 PPM Nitrogen Dioxide Annual Average 0.05 PPM -- I-Hour -- 0.25 PPM Sulfur Dioxide Annual Average 0.03 PPM - 24-Hour 0.14 PPM 0.25 PPM I-Hour PMIO Annual Average 50 uglm3 30 uglm3 24-Hour 150 ug/m3 50 ug/m3 PM2.5 Annual 15 uglm3 -. 24-Hour 65 uglm3 -- PPM ~ Parts per MiUion -glm3 ~ Micrograms per Cubic Merer Source: Bay Area Air Quality Management District The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1997 adopted new national air quality standards for ground-level ozone and for fine Particulate Matter. The existing I-hour ozone standard of 0.12 PPM will be phased out and replaced by an 8-hour standard of 0.08 PPM. New ootional standards were retained, but the method and form for determining compliance with the standards were revised. Implementation of the new ozone and Particulate Matter standards has been complicated by a lawsuit. On May 14, 1999 the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision ruled that the Clean Air Act as applied in setting the public standards for ozone and particulate matter, was unconstitutional as an improper delegation of legislative authority to the Environmental Protection Agency. The decision has been appealed, but the legal status of the new City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05-02 J Page 29 April 26, 2005 II./o-¡...- standards will probably remain uncertain for some time. Ambient air quality Thc project is within the nine-county Bay Area Basin. The Bay Area Quality Management District (BAAQMD) operates a network of air quality monitoring sites in the region, including one in central LivernJOre on Old First Street. Table 2 shows a summary of air quality data for this monitoring site for the period 1995-1999. Data are shown for ozone, carbon monoxide, PMIO and nitrogen dioxide. The numbers of days exceeding each standard are shown for each year. Table 2. Air Quality Data for Livermore, 1995-1999 Pollutant Standard Days Exceeding Standard In: 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 Ozone Federal I-Hour 7 8 0 6 2 Ozone State I-Hour 20 22 3 21 14 Ozone Federal8-Hour 11 10 0 10 5 Carbon State!F ederal 0 0 0 0 0 Monoxide 8 Hour PMIO State 6 6 12 12 18 24-Hour PMIO Federal 0 0 0 0 24-Hour Nitrogen State I-Hour 0 0 0 0 Dioxide Source: All Sources Board Aerometric Data Analysis and Management System (ADAM) Table 2 shows that concentrations of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide at the Livermore monitoring site meet state/federal standards. Ozone concentrations exceed both the state and fcderal standards, and exhibit wide variations ITom year-to-year related to meteorological conditions. Years where the summer months tend to be warmer than average tend to have higher average ozone concentrations while years with cooler than average temperatures tend to have lower average ozone concentrations. Levels of PMI 0 at Livermore meet the federal ambient standards but excced the more stringent state standard. Allainment status The Federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean Air Act of 1988 require that the State Air Resources Board, based on air quality monitoring data, designate air basins within the state where the federal or state ambient air quality standards are not met as "nonattainment areas." Because of the differences between the federal and state standards, the designation of nonattaiIlment areas is different under the federal and state ]egislation. The Bay Area is currently a non attainment area for the federal I-hour ozone standard. Under thc City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallen Sperts Park P A 05-021 Page 30 April 26, 2005 1'1.,} California Clean Air Act the Bay Area is a nonattainment area for ozone and PMI O. To meet federal Clean Air Act requirements, the District has adopted an Ozone Attainment Demollf¡tration Plan. In addition, to meet California Clean Air Act requirements, the District has adopted and updated a Clean Air Plan addressing the California ozone standard. The control strategies contained into these plans include new limits on emissions ITom industry, prohibitions on sources of hydrocarbons, and buyback programs for older vehicles and educational programs. The California Legislature, when it passed the California Clt;an Air Act in 1988, recognized the relative intractability of the PM1 0 problem with respect to the state ambient standard and excluded it ITom basic planning requirements of the Act. The Act did require the Clean Air Resources Board to prepare a report to the Legislature regarding the prospect of achieving the State ambient air quality standard for PMIO. This report recommended a menu of actions, but did not recommend imposing a planning process similar to that for ozone or other pollutants for achievement of the standard within a certain period of time. Sensitive receptors The Bay Area Air Quality Management District defines sensitive receptors as facilities where sensitive receptor population groups (children, the elderly, the acutely ill and the chronically ill) are likely to be located. These land uses include residences, schools, playgrounds, child~care centers, hospitals and medical c1inics. This project would involve construction and development of new park and recreational facilities where children would play and gather for recreation. a) Would the project conflict or obstruct implementation of an air quality plan? No impact. The proposed project would not conflict with the local Clean Air Plan adopted by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, since the proposed amount of non-residential development has been inc1uded in Dublin's planned growth as part of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR since 1994, and would serve the existing community. Therefore, such impacts would be less-than-significant. b) Would the project violate any air quality standards? Le~'~'- than-~'ignijicant with Mitigation. Short-term construction impacts related to implementation of the project, including grading and excavation, could result in exceeding air quality standards established by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Adherence to Mitigation Measures nos. 3.11/1.0, 3.11/3.0, 3.11/4.0 and 3.11/12.0 of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR has been included in the plans for the preliminary and subsequent grading of the property to reduce short-term air quality impacts to a less-than-significant level. These measures minimize the creation of fugitive dust during grading and construction activities with ITequent watering of those areas, and also mandate that construction equipment be kept in proper running order at all times during construction. Additionally, certain mitigation measures for the control of fugitive dust are incorporated into the preliminary grading plans to be implemented as part of the responsibility of the contractor, and monitored by the Inspector for the Project. These measures should be incorporated into the construction plans for the park project. The Eastern Dublin Specific City o£ Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park PA 05-021 Page3 I April 26, 2005 I""'~ Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR concludes that potential air quality impacts related to construction equipment could not be mitigated to a less-than-significant impact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted for this impact. However, potential air quality impacts related to construction on the 60-acres of park development will bc mitigated to a less-than· significant impact with the following measures related to air quality impacts incorporated into the future phases of project construction. Miti([ation Measure_:?ë Dust control for the construction and earthwork for the project shall conform to the requirements of the SWPPP prepared by the City and established City standards. All active construction areas shall be watered daily and more frequently, if necessary. All trucks hauling soil, sand or other loose materials shall be covered. Water shall be applied daily, or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking area, and staging areas at construction sites. All paved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at construction sites shall be swept daily with water sweepers. Hydroseed or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers to construction areas that have been graded. c) Would the project result in cumulatively considerable air pollutants? Less-than-signijicant The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR identifies Mobile Source Emissions and Stationary Source Emissions as significant irreversible impacts. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted with certification of the EIR in 1994 and with subsequent environmental documents related to development ofth.e Dublin Ranch Area F. Generally, such impacts are based on vehicular emission from future traffic within the sub-region as well as stationary sources. Similarly, potential air quality impacts related to vehicular traffic enlissions on roadways of Reactive Organic Gasses and Nitrogen Oxide, both precursor indicators of smog, and stationary source emissions would not exceed regional air quality standards or thresholds. This project will not generate significant amounts of additional traffic beyond that considered in previous environmental documents, as it serves the existing community with a planned transportation network and roadways engineered to support the development. Therefore, vehicular emissions are estimated to be minimal and impacts would be less-than-significant. d, e) Expose sensitive receptors to significant pollutant concentrations or create objectionable odors? Less-tha'hfignijicant. Proposed uses in the park will include softball, baseball and soccer fields; tennis and bocce courts; play areas; parking and street frontage improvements with landscaping; an enhanced strearn/creekbed corridor; and, connecting trails. Air quality impacts associated with the proposed proj ect are expected to be less- than-significant, as no significant pollutant concentration or creation of objectionable odors are anticipated from the park use and the improvements proposed for project. The only source of pollutants would be vehicles using thc roadways adjacent to the park. These items were previously addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, the Negative Declaration in 1997 for Areas B-E, the Mitigated Declaration in 2000 and the Addendum (2004) for Area F of DubBn Ranch. No further impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastem Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR are expected to occur as a result of the proposed project.

Biological analyzes and wetland delineations were conducted for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, the Negative Declaration in 1997 for Areas B-E, as well as the Mitigated Declaration (2000) and the Addendum (2004) for Area F of Dublin Ranch, prior to the development of the preliminary grading plan and issuance of the USACE and DFG permits, describing both habitat and species present on the project site. Walking trails and other pathways proposed within the park boundaries, as well as proposed structures, are located on the site plan for Fallon Sports Park in accordance with setbacks and buffers approved by the USACE and DFG permits. A number of mitigation measures are included in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR to reducc significant impacts on biological resources, 1M 3.7A through S, which still apply to the project site and reduce all such impacts to a less-than-significant level. Additionally, the Mitigated Declaration in 2000 for Area F contained two Supplemental Mitigation Measures 2 and 3 to protect special-species and wetlands in this planning area. There would be a less~than~significant impact on biological resources with the measures and the mitigation measures allowed under agency pennits, currently underway at the project site. e, f) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological re.murces, such as tree protection ordinances. No impact. The Fallon Sports Park project's preliminary plan has been designed to be consistent with all Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, General Plan and other adopted policies and mitigation mcasures related to preservation and protection of biological resources. Mitigation measures are currently underway in accordance with USACE and DFG pennits. Few trees are located on the Sports Park site due to the past agricultural cultivation of the land, and a substantial amount of landscaping and plantings will be installed on the site to enhance the appeal of the area and upgrade the present vegetation along the creek. Additionally, landscaping and vegetation will be installed around manmade structures and improvements proposed for the site. No known Heritage trees exist on the site.

Additionally, landscaping and vegetation wil1 be installed around manmade structures and improvements proposed for the site. No known Heritage trees exist on the site. Additionally, the proposed project is not located within the boundaries of any Habitat City of Dublin Initial Stody & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05-021 Page 33 April 26, 2005 1111 Conservation Plan. No biological resource impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, the Negative Declaration in 1997 for Areas B-E, as well as the Mitigated Declaration (2000) and the Addendum (2004) for Area F of Dublin Ranch, are expected to occur as a result of the proposed project. In accordance with the approval conditions of the USACE wetland fill pennit dated May 23,2003; U.S.Fish &Wildlife Service Biological Opinion dated July 1,2002; RWQCB Water Quality Certification Order dated April 22, 2003; and, DFG 1603 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement dated June 5, 2003, mitigation measures applicable to the park site addressing impacts on candidate, sensitive or special status species have already been implemented, and the Developer has obtained all necessary pennits from the appropriate State and Federal agencies. Based on implementation of these measures, species impacts are no longer considered to be applicable to this project. V, Cultural Resources a-d) Cause substantial adverse change to significant historic, archeological or paleontological resources or human remains? No impact. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR identified a number of potentially significant impacts associated with development in East Dublin, including disruption or destruction of prehistoric resources, and disruption to historic resources. In May 1999, Holman and Associates performed an additional survey ofthe properties in Area F of Dublin Ranch, and no potentially significant prehistoric archaeological materials or indicators were found on the proposed park site. Although there are no historic structures/resources or known archeological or paleontological resources on this site, Mitigation Measure 3.9/5.0 contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR establishes procedures in the event archeological resources are encountered during grading for development of the park. These measures have been incorporated into the grading project currently underway, and will be followed in the event that subsurface deposits are discovered during the continuing development of the Fallon Sports Park. No impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, the Negative Declaration in 1997 for Areas B-E, as well as the Mitigated Declaration (2000) and the Addendum (2004) for Area F are expected to occur as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, No impacts are anticipatcd related to cultural resources because of implementation of the Park development. VI. Geology and Soils a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse impacts, including loss, injury or death related to ground rupture, seismic ground shaking. groundfailure, landslide,substantial erosion, unstable soils, or liquefaction? Less~than-~·ignijicant. Preliminary geotechnical reports were prepared for Area F in Eastern Dublin, including the subject Project site, as part of the environmental review for the properties with both the Negative Declaration in 1997 and the Mitigated Negative Declaration in 2000. A follow-up geotechnical survey for the Fallon Sports Park site was prepared by Berlogar Geotechnical Consultants prior to the development of the preliminary grading plan prepared by MacKay & Somps in 2004 for the site. The recommendations of the geotechnical report have City ofr>u.blin Page 34 Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05-021 April 26, 2005 11t~ been incorporated into the preliminary plans for development of the site. The site is subject to groundshaldng caused by a number of regional faults such as the Calaveras, GreenvilJe, Hayward and San Andreas Faults. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR identifies several potential impacts to soils and geology, ineluding earthquake and ground shaking, ground rupture, seismic ground shaking, impacts to groundwater resources, shrink-swell potential due to expansive soils, slope stability, erosion and sedimentation, in many locations in the Specific Plan planning area and established mitigation measures to be incorporated into projects in the area. As the site is not within a Special Study Zone for faults as identified by the State of California under the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone legislation, the potential for ground rupture is expected to be minimal. However, under moderate to severe seismic events which are probable in the Bay Area over the next 30 years, buildings, utilities and other improvements constructed at the Project site could be subject to damage caused by groundshaking. Mitigation Measures 3.6/1.0 through 8.0 contained in the Eastern Dublin ErR were adopted to ensure that new structures built within Area F wiIJ comply with generally recognjzed seismic safety standards to reduce groundshaking impacts to a level ofless-than-significant. The mitigation measures referred to also are consistent with the recommendations of the last geotecImical study for the site. b) Is the site subject to substantial erosion and/or loss of topsoil? Less-than-~·ignificant. The Eastern Dublin EIR notes that the impact of constructing all the land uses identified in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan would be an increase of erosion and sedimentation caused by grading activities. Consistent with adopted Mitigation Measures 3.6/27.0 of the EIR, the Conditions of Approval require preparation and implementation of interim erosion plans as part of grading plans and permitting. These requirements will be reflected in the plans prepared by MacKay & Somps in conjunction with City Public Works Department Staff. As noted in the 2000 Mitigated Declaration for Area F and the 2004 Addendum for Areas B-E, standard City of Dublin development Conditions of Approval require erosion control plans and preparation of a Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan to minimize the impacts of erosion and loss of soil. Project construction documents will reflect these conditions, and also ensure that all improvements to the park will comply with generally recognized seismic safety standards so that ground shaking or ground failure impacts would be reduced to a level of less-than-significant. Additionally, less-than-significant impacts are anticipated in the park phase related to soil or geotechnical hazards as the recommendations of the geotechnical engineer have been incorporated into the Project. cod) Is the site located on soil that is un.~table or expansive, or result in potential lateral spreading, liquefaction, landslide or collapse? Less-than-significant. The Project site is located on the Tassajara Fonnation and contains areas of colluvium soil, and a small amount oflandslide debris near the intersection of Lockhart Street and Central Parkway. The soil has a high shrink-swell potential, and Mitigation Measures 3.6/14.0through 16.0 ofthc Eastern Dublin EIR were adopted to reduce potential shrink-swell impacts to a level of less-than-signifìcant by requiring appropriate structural foundations, underlying support for court and parking areas, and other relatcd techniques to overcome the City of Dublin Initial Smdy & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sport, Park PA 05-021 Page 35 April 26, 2005 IY-Pf adverse effects. No additional mitigation measures are required. Additionally, less-than- significant impacts are anticipated in tbe development of' tbe park related to soil or geotechnical hazards as tbe recommendations of tbe geotechnical engineer have also been incorporated into the Project. e) Does the site have soils capable of supporting on-site septic tan/a; if sewers are not available? No impact. The park property is in tbe process of being connected to tbe sewer system witb service provided by tbe Dublin San Ramon Services District. Therefore, tbere will be No impact related to septic tanks or systems. VII. Hazards and Hazardous Materials a-d) Create a significant hazard through transport of hazardous materials or release or emission of hazardous materials, and/or listed as a hazardaus materials site? No impact. The proposed use of tbe site would include construction of recreational facilities for tbe Fallon Sports Park, and street frontage improvements along Central Parkway, Fallon Road and Lockhart Street. Recreational improvements on this site were discussed in tbe Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, and have always been planned for tbis property. No hazardous material has been transported to or from tbe site, nor is anticipated to bc done in the futurc as tbe site will be a public park. Phase I and II hazardous materials studies were completed for the site by Berlogar Geotechnical Consultants in 1996 and 1997, which found no hazardous materials on tbe site. The site has not been listed as containing a historical hazardous site, hazardous material generator or transporter location, nor is it known to contain underground storage tanks according to the site assessments. Additionally, tbere is no change in tbe conclusion in the previous environmental documents for tbe site tbat only minor and less-tban-significant quantities of potentially hazardous materials would be associated witb tbe park use. Materials would include normal and customary substances such as lawn chemicals, household solvents and similar items in minimal quantities. Therefore, tbe project would not involve the use or transportation of hazardous material, and tbere would be No impact with regard to the release of hazardous materials. e, f) Is the site located within an airport land use plan of a public airport or private airstrip? No impact. The site is not located within an airport land use plan or within the vicinity of a public airport. The Livermore Municipal Airport and tbe ALUC confirmed in 1999 tbat tbe Area F Planning Area in Eastern Dublin was outside tbe referral area for tbe airport, and tbe ALUC has no jurisdiction over the land uses. Therefore, No impacts are anticipated regarding airport noise and crash hazard zones. g,h) Interference with an emergency evacuation plan, expose people and structures to a significant risk involving wildland fires, and are nearby residences intermixed with wildlands? City of Dublin Initial Stody & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park PA 05-021 Page 36 April 26, 2005 15'0 No impact. Since tbe project would convert undeveloped land to a paved parking Jot, and recreational facilities witb associated structures, tbe proposed driveways witb entry features from Lockhart Street and Central Parkway will provide adequate emergency access. Adequate emergency access as shown on the Master Plan for tbe park has been approved by the Alameda County Fire Department which provides services to Dublin. Additionally, a Fire Station is located adjacent to tbe park witb access from Fallon Road. Due to the provision of adequate access to and from tbe site, tbere would be No impact witb regard to any emergency evacuation plans. Additionally, tbe project site is presently vacant grassland, but in the future, based on plans approved by tbe City and ensuing construction, tbe adjacent lands will soon be an urbanized area. The park will be improved witb irrigation from new water lines and services tbat will be regularly maintained, as will tbe surrounding future developed area. Therefore, tbe risk of wildland fire is anticipated to be minimal, and No impact is expected relative to wildfires in tbe project area. VIII. Hydrology and Water Quality a~i) Violnte any water qualify standards or waste discharge requirements, deplete groundwater resources, alter drainage patterns, effect surface or subsuiface water qualify, result in placing housing in a flood plain? Less-than-significant. Portions of the Project site are characterized by slopes above 5 %. An intermittent creek flows along tbe west boundary of tbe site and proceeds to the east slightly across tbe northwest corner of tbe property near the intersection of Lockhart Street and Fallon Road. Improvements and preliminary grading is currently in process at the site as part of tbe larger Area F project. In accordance witb the approval conditions of the USACE wetland fill pennit dated May 23,2003; U.S.Fish &Wildlife Service Biological Opinion dated July 1, 2002; RWQCB Water Quality Certification Order dated April 22,2003; and, DFG 1603 Lake and Streamhed Alteration Agreement dated June 5, 2003, mitigation measures applicable to addressing impacts on creek on the park site and water quality provisions have already been implemented, and tbe Developer of Area F has obtained all necessary pellIÙts from tbe appropriate State and Federal agencies. Additionally, tbe project preliminary grading plan conforms to Alameda County Flood Control and Water Quality District, Zone 7 requirements and meets tbe water quality standards of the City of Dublin's NPDES permit and the Alameda County Urban Runoff Clean Water Program. The contractor selected by tbe City to develop park project will be responsible for obtaining all permits necessary from Zone 7 prior to construction, and follow all provisions of the City's SWPPP and tbe Water Quality Control Board requirements. These requirements will be reflected by tbe pJans prepared by MacKay & Somps in conjunction witb City PubJic Works Department Staff. As noted in the 2000 Mitigated Declaration for Area F and tbe 2004 Addendum for Areas B-E, standard City of Dublin development Conditions of Approval require erosion control plans and preparation of a Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan. No additional water quality impacts are anticipated. City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park PA 05-021 Page 37 April 26, 2005 15' Altbough tbe Eastern Dublin EIR acknowledges tbat grading and recontouring of the land for the park will change existing natural drainage patterns, the existing creek on tbe site will be improved and elÙlanced, and swales will be constructed to filter and absorb stormwater and run" off at tbe site. Diagrams of tbe utility systems, including pipes, culverts, drainage and stormwater systems are included in the Master Plan for tbe Fallon Sports Park, and are currently being installed at the site witb tbe appropriate pennits under tbe development plan for Area F. Adherence to mitigation measures nos. 3.5120.0. 3.5/44.0, 3.5/47.0 tbrough 3.5155.0 of tbe Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR requiring proper drainage and run-off control, and tbe use of biodegradable pesticides and herbicides, wi1l reduce surface water quality pollution and provide tbe proper drainage facilities for tbe site, tbereby reducing tbe impacts on water quality and drainage to a level of less-tban-significance. Additionally, the City Public Works Department has performed extensive hydrology and drainage studies to insure tbat all stormwater and drainage facilities constructed for tbe park contain sufficient capacity to service tbe projected development of tbe Master Plan for tbe Park. The site is not located witbin a 100-year flood plain as identified on tbe applicable Flood Insurance Rate Map published by tbe Federal Emergency Management Agency. Construction of tbe Fallon Sports Park recreational facilities will be consistent witb all tbe previous actions and environmental documentation approved by tbe City of Dublin for east Dublin. No impacts not previously analyzed in tbe Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR are expected to occur. IX, Land Use and Planning a) Physically divide an established community? No impact. The project is consistent witb tbe General Plan and planned recreational and open space uses in tbe Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR and in tbe plans for Area F. As this property has always been planned to be an open space type use, it is a consolidated open area consisting of 60 acres on the eastern edge of Area F, adjacent to Fallon Road. Residential development exists across Fallon Road, and is currently being constructed by Toll Brothers adjacent to tbe future extension of Lockhart Street. To tbe east of tbe park site, additional urbanization, predominately residential, is anticipated to occur in the future in tbe East Dublin Property Owners development. No residential subdivision or cornmUIÙty is divided by tbe park as all tbe uses have been master planned in an orderly fashion. Therefore, tbere would be no disruption of any established community because the proposed facilities for Fallon Sports Park are designed to serve new and existing development in east Dublin, providing recreational facilities witbin walking distant to residents and cornmUIÙty access routes. Therefore, the park development wi1l result in no negative or adverse impact on land use or the community. b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy or regulation? City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Nogativ<o Declaration Fallon Sports Park PA 05-021 rage 38 April 26, 2005 \þ'J- No impact. The Fallon Sports Park Phase project is consistent with the goals and policies contained in both the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan, which indicate that these facilities are needed to serve the growing population in east Dublin and the other growing areas of the community. The Specific Plan and General Plan land use maps include the designation for this park site as a City Park and Park, and refer to the Dublin Parks and Recreation Master Plan, recently updated in 2004, for a description of the land use activities and types of facilities to be provided in the park. Additionally, the Master Plan for the Fallon Sports Park is a comprehensive plan for the development of the recreational facilities to serve the activity needs of the surrounding community, and proposes ballfields and sports courts consistent with the projected uses in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Park site is also located near a planned school site, and will be used by schools as needed for recreational activities and events. The City presently does not have a recreational facility of this size that will serve the organized sports popular in a growing community. Therefore, the park development is consistent with all land use plans, policies and regulations of the City, and will result in no negative or adverse impact on land use. c) Conflict with a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? No impact. No such plan has been adopted within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. There would, therefore, be No impact to a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan for the existing site. X. Mineral Resources a, b) Result in the loss of availability of regionally or locally significant mineral resources? No impact. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment ErR does not indicate that significant deposits ofIninerals exist on the site. Additionally, the site is not shown as a location for mineral or aggregate resources on State Mineral Rcsource maps, No impacts related to the loss of mineral resources would occur as a result of the project. XI. Noise a-d) Would the project expose persons or generation of noise levels in excess ofstandard.o; established hy the General Plan or other applicable standard, expose people to groundborne vibration, or result in permanent increases in ambient noise levels? Less-than-significant. Major sources of noise on and adjacent to the Project site include distant noise generated by vehicles traveling through the Eastern Dublin planning area on r-580, traffic sources on Tassajara Road and from aircraft flyovers. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment ErR addressed potential noise impacts of adopting and impJementing the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan, which included the development of Area F and the Fallon Sports Park. Short~term noisc-related impacts were identified in the EIR which included exposure of residents to increased levels of noise from construction of proposed residential, park and improvement development in east Dublin. City o[Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05-021 Page 39 April 26, 2005 I~~ Mitigation measure nos. 3.10/4.0 and 3.10/5.0 contained in the Eastern Dublin EIR require individual project builders to prepare construction noise management plans to minimize noise as well as adhere to construction hour limitations. City of Dublin standard Conditions of Approval required by the Public Works Department for all projects constructed in the City also include preparation of a construction noise management plan and construction hour limitations. Including these measures in all construction phases for the project will mitigate or minimize construction noise impacts to a level ofless-than-significant. However, short-term construction related noise could be expected which would be considered significant depending on the specific type of equipment used in the grading process for the parking lot and various sports courts and paved areas. The City has adopted common practices for all construction and grading operations, and which are included in the construction documents for the Project, to limit the hours of construction to 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, including the idling of equipment, unless the Director of Public Works approves alternative hours. Additionally, all equipment used on the construction site is to be in good, well-maintained condition, and mufflers, to minimize noise generation that could affect the residents in the area of the park. Therefore, noise-related impacts of the project will be reduced to a less-than-significant impact. e, f) No impact. The project is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public airport, public use airport, or a private airstrip. Therefore, the project will not expose people in the project area to excessive noise levels. XII, Population and Housing a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly? No impact. Implementation of planned recreational facilities will not induce additional growth in Eastern Dublin that has not been projected for in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment ErR, and subsequent enviromnental documents. The proposed recreational facility and community park were planned well in advance of actual development in the eastern area of the City to serve projected residential units and those already planned and approved. Therefore, no population growth impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. b, c) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing housing units or people? No impact. The project site is designated as a park on the Dublin General Plan, and a City Park in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan for residents in the immediate and surrounding areas of Dublin. The sitc is currently being developed as parkland with preliminary grading underway with appropriate permits as part of the approved and permitted development of Area F. The property has never been designated for housing nor previously developed for such use. Displacement of housing units or people, therefore, would not occur, Additionally, the site was vacant and undeveloped prior to construction of other development in thc area. EDSP Mitigation measures 3.4120.0 through 3.4/35.0 are designed to ensure that adequate parks and recreational facilities are provided in the community near residential development to serve the growing population of Dublin. This project is planned to serve the residential growth and residents City of Dublin ¡"itia! S!\Idy & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05-021 Page 40 April 26, 2005 15 -t in the immediate area based on thc park standards in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Therefore, No impacts related to displacement of housing units or people are anticipated. XIII, Public Services a-c) Potential impacts related to: fire protection, police protection, schools, maintenance, or solid waste generation? No impact. Construction and operation of the proposed recreational facilities will not creatc a need for new public services or facilities. The Alameda County Fire Department and the Dublin Police Department have reviewed the project to ensure that the facility meets their criteria for public use. An additional fire station has been built in the east Dublin area adjacent to the Park site to serve the planD.ing area. Additionally, thc park plan has been designed in conjunction with security criteria provided by the Police Department. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, as a hasis for the provision of the Fallon Sports Park at this location, included sufficient fire safety resources to serve the projected growth and facilities in the area. The City of Dublin will provide maintenance of streets, roads, the park and other related governmental facilities. Solid Waste service will be provided by the Livermore Dublin Disposal Company. As these services will already be extended to the Area F planning area; no significant impacts related to public services is anticipated. XIV, Recreation a, b ) Would the project increase uSe of existing neighborhood or regional parks or require the construction of new recreational facilities? No impact. The proposed project does not include residential development, so there would be no increase in the need for or impact on recœational facilities. The project would add a much needed recreational facility with various types of active recreational uses to the east Dublin area, thereby increasing the City's recreational resources and facilities to serve the community. No adverse impact related to recreational facilities will result, but rather, the park development will provide more recreational activities and facilities and opportunities for the neighborhoods being developed in east Dublin and for the public's use. Based on the criteria of the updated Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2004), a standard requiœment of 3.5 acres of community parkland is needed per 1,000 residents. Area F is anticipated to have a population of 2,725 residents in the planning area at build-out. Approximately 10 acres of community parkland would be needed for Area F, and the Fallon Sports Park at 60 acres well exceeds the community parkland requirement for the planning area. Therefore, the Project will have a beneficial impact on the provision of park facilities, and not have an adverse impact on park or recreational facilities. XV. Transportation/Traffic a·g) Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial to existing traffic load and street capacity, exceed LOS standards for CMA roadways, change of air traffic patterns, increase traffic safety hazard, provide for inadequate emergency vehicle access, inadequate parking, provide hazard City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaratiou Fallon Sports Park PA 05-02t Page 4t April 26, 2005 \s-Ç" or barrier to alternative transportation modes? Less-than-significant, To implement the transportation and circulation aspects of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan based on future land use projections with existing, the City has undertaken a comprehensive program of transportation improvements in the community. The purpose of this program is to accommodate anticipated traffic from tbe Eastern Dublin area. Overall, the program includes upgrades to the 1-580 freeway intersections, construction of new roads and improvements to existing roads. These improvements aæ required to be installed by the developer of a specific project which will be generating additional traffic in the area, or through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Improvements are primarily funded from fees collected from new development in eastern Dublin. Traffic Impacts & Improvements: An extensive traffic analysis was prepared for the original Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan EIR approved in 1994 to establish this program. That analysis identified 16 potentially significant and potentially cumulatively significant impacts related to the development of the Specific Plan. Although many of these impacts could be reduced to a level of less-than-significance, a Statement of Overriding Consideration was adopted for impacts to mainline 1-580 and 1·680 freeways; cumulative freeway impacts; Santa Rita & 1-580 eastbound freeway ramps due to existing level of traffic; and, cumulative impacts on Dublin Boulevard. Additionally, the 1997 Mitigated Negative Declaration for Planning Areas B~E, in which the Fallon Sports Park property was included for community park use, did not identify new or supplemental impacts or mitigation measures in addition to those already identified in the early environmental document. The 2000 Mitigated Negative Declaration identified a number of supplemental mitigation measures to be implemented with the Dublin Ranch Area A project as a result of changes to the Land Use Plan of the Specific Plan, but not as a result of proposed community park use. Less-than-significant impacts are anticipated with regard to traffic and parking for the proposed recreational improvements at the Fallon Sports Park site. Several new traffic improvements and extensions of roadways are underway at the present time to facilitate the overall development scheme for Area F. The existing and proposed roadway improvements in Area F have been designed, sized and approved to provide adequate transportation facilities and transit modes with sufficient capacity for the park use. The following extensions and improvements will be completed prior to the completion of Phase I of the Fallon Sports Park (see Exhibit E for phasing) : · Lockhart Street is proposed for extension with the development underway for Area F, and is projected to be completed in 2005; · Central Parkway is proposed for extension in fiscal year 2005·2006; · Fallon Road will be improved in fiscal year 2005-2006; · A traffic signal will be installed at the Gleason Drive/Fallon Road intersection in fiscal year 2005-2006; and, · A second traffic signal may be installed at the main entry tQ the Park on Lockhart Street if CaITrans warrants are met. City of Dublin Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park P A 05·021 Page 42 April 26, 2005 IS/ø An October 23, 2003 Traffic Study prepared by TJKM for the design of Lockhart Street proposed on four-way intersection on Lockhart Street at the entrance to the park. The current plan for the Park shows two intersections on Lockhart Street: one at the main entrance to the Park and the second across from the pedestrian bridge. Both these intersections will connect with streets from the adjacent neighborhoods. At the present time, there has been no study of the entry location off Central Parkway. Although this is the preferred location of the Centra! Parkway entrance, further study of this entrance is needed to detennine the optimum location as future multi-family development is planned across from the Park on Central Parkway. A mitigation measure is proposed as follows: Mitil!ation Measure1,: Future study of specific location of the entrance to the Park ITom Central Parkway shall he completed prior to development of the Lower Terrace Phase of the Project, with consideration given to the potential multi-residential land use across Central Parkway from the Park. Impacts related to transportation are anticipated to be reduced to a less-than-significant level with the mitigation measure above and those included in the mitigation for the development of Area F, in process at this time. Parkin(! Analysis/Study: No impact. Additionally, a parking study was prepared for the Master Plan for the sports park by Carducci & Associates which analyzed the parking needs for the various recreational activities and sports fields planned for the Park. The parking study anticipated the parking needs for each type of recreational facility, activity, court, or field proposed for the Park, and determined that approximately 500 parking spaces would be needed to serve park users. The Park is also designed with pedestrian connections to the various surrounding neighborhoods and the school site across Lockhart Street. Due to spatial and grading constraints, and the location of environmentally sensitive areas adjacent to the creek, a total of 459 spaces are proposed for location within the boundaries of the park, and divided between the two proposed parking lots accessed by Lockhart Street and Central Parkway (see Master Plan Exhibit B). An additional 84 on-street parking spaces will also be available for a total of 524 parking spaces. Overflow parking on late afternoons, evenings and weekends will be able to park in the lots of the school on Lockhart Street. Therefore, no adverse impacts relative to parking areas are anticipated. Pedestrian Circulation &Pathways: No impact. A system of pathways will provide access for pedestrians to all areas of the Park. The pathway system also provides neighborhood connections to promote community use of the facility from all sides of the Park. All pathways on the site are accessible and connect to perimeter sidewalks along the Park boundaries, and to the Tassajara bike trail. A pedestrian bridge on the southern portion of Lockhart Street will provide access from the proposed schooi and on-street parking. As this system of pathways and walkways will provide complete access to all areas of the Park and surrounding neighborhoods and trails, there are no adverse impacts related to pedestrian and bike access. City of Dublin Initial Stody & Mitigated Negativo Declaration Fallon Sport. Park PA 05-021 Page 43 April 26, 2005 151 XVI, Utilities and Service Systems a·g) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the RWQCB, require new or expanded water or wastewater treatment facilities, require new stonn drain facilities, require additional water supplies, require new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities, or require new solid waste facilities? No impact, Since the subject site is within an area where the extension of urban services is underway, and in adjacent areas already available, the construction of the proposed recreation facilities will not increase the need for additional water or wastewater services. Some service connections are anticipated prior to opening the facilities for public use. The project was taken into consideration when the water and wastewater facilities where planned tor the.east Dublin area. and considered in the previous environmental documents prepared for Area F. Therefore, there will be no need for additional mitigation measures than those already established by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR. XV, Mandatory Findings of Significance 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 beww seif-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? No impact. 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, with the implementation of mitigation measures included in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, as discussed in this docurnent. b) 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). No impact. Although incremental increases in certain areas can be expected as a result of constructing this project. including air emissions, light and glare, the project site lies within an area with an approved specific plan which permits urbanized development and community facilities. Mitigation measures are included in an approved EIR that would reduce any residual impacts on the surrounding residential community to less-than-significant levels. c) Does the project have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? No impact. No such impacts have been discovered in the course of preparing this Initial Study.

The Master Plan for the Fallon Sports Park was approved in November 2004, and implemented the park established by the East Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment adopted in 1994. Since the original conception of the plan for the Park, the City Council has also adopted a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2004), which addressed the features and locations of the proposed facilities for the Sports Park. Regarding your first comment relative to the fees that the Applicant will be required to pay for Zone Ts review of the project, the City of Dublin collects the Zone 7 fees at the Building Permit stage, and thcn forwards the funds to Zone 7. In this case, becausc the sportsficld park project is a City sponsored project on land dedicated to the City tln-ough the agreement related to Dublin Ranch Area F, the City intends to pay any and all required fees to the vaJÌous pemlitting agencies prior to dcvclopment and improvement of the Fallon Sports Park. Payment ofthese fees was included as a mitigation measure in the Eastern Dublin Gcncral Plan/Specific Plan ErR and the Mitigation Monitoring Program applicable to this Project. In response to DSRSD's second comment, the projcct docs not propose to improve or enhance the stream corridor as it is not within the boundaries of the park area. The improvement and enhancement of the corridor is underway as part of the development of Area F of Dublin Ranch and was analyzed in previous environmental documents for that project (1997 Negative Declaration, 2000 Mitigated Negative Declaration, and 2004 Addendum), as stated in the Fallon Sports Park Development Initial Study on page 33 and 34. DSRSD reviewed the environmental documents and improvement plans, including the hydrology study, in their review of the Dublin Ranch Area F and Dublin Ranch Area F North Projects prior to issuance of grading pennits for that project. This infonnation is on file with the District. All appropriate permits ITom USACE, CDF&G and RWQCB were obtained prior to the commencement of the grading and improvement activities for the Area F projects, as detailed on page 33 of the Fallon Sports Park DeveJopl11ent Initial Study. Any site-specific mitigation measures relative to Fallon Sports Park such as landscaping around manmade structures, parking arcas, and sportsfields and courts are contained in the Initial Study for P A 05-021.

Our comments are as follows: . Mitigation for the creation of new impervious surface areas within the Livermore-Amador Valley is addressed through the collection of Special Drainage Area (SDA) 7-1 Drainage Fees. These fees are collected for Zone 7 by the appropriate local governing agency upon approval of the vesting tentative 01' final map for new streetsfdevelopments and/or upon approval of any new buildinglgradingfuse permit rcquired of any public agencyfcommercialfresidentialf indu~trialfagricu1turaluser. Col1ection of the drainage ft!es is dependent upon whether post- project impervious surface area conditions are greater than pre-projcct conditions and for whether fees have previously been paid for that particular site. The CUlTent fee is $0.662 per square feet of ncw impervious surface arca. . The projcct proposes to enhance an existing stream corridor located along the western edge of the project site for environmental mitigation purposes in the development of "Area F." The Hydrology and Water Quality section of the Initial Study, page 37, states that the "project preliminary grading plan conforms to Alameda County Flood Control and Water Quality District, Zone 7 requiremt!nts and...." Please be advised that this creek is not currently designated as a Specht! Drainage Area 7-1 Authorized Project Line, nor is it currently owncdlmaintained by Zone 7.

Livermore Ave. Livermore, CA 94550 RE: Comments on Initial StudylMitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park (PA 05-021) Dcar Ms. Craven: The City appreciates your cormnents dated May 12, 2005 on the Fallon Sports Park (P A 05-021) project proposed in eastern Dublin. As stated in the Initial StudylMitigated Negative Declaration for the Project, the Master Plan for the Fallon Sports Park was approved in November 2004, to implement the park established by the East Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment adopted in 1994. Since the original conception of the plan for thc Park, the City Council has also adopted a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2004), which addressed the features and locations of the proposed facilities for the Sports Park. Below are the City of Dublin' s responses to your comments. The numbered paragraphs below correspond to the comment sections in your letter: I) Rcgarding your first commcnt related to the connection between the dcscription of a "community park" and a "sports park," and whether a "sports park" is indeed a "community park;' the Parks & Rccrcation Mastcr Plan was done in concert with the East Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment and thc associated Environmental Impact Report adopted in 1994 and subsequent Supplemental EIR's and Addendums. The Community Park that is referred to in the East Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment adopted in 1994 is rcferred to in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan as a Sports Park. There is a prototype in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan which identifies the types of facilities that were to be in the park. The Fallon Sports Park Master Plan used this prototype as a basis for the plan adopted in November 2004. Furthermore, the Fallon Sports Park at approximately 60 acres exceeds the minimum acreage required for a community park in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan . 2) Comment noted. On page 27 of the Initial Study for the development of the Fallon Sports Park, it is stated that: Low-level lighting will be used along walkways and trail. Sensor lighting lamps with low wattage are proposedfor the parking area. New street lights and other security lighting combined with the night lighting for the courts andfields at the park could create a "spill Area Code (925) . City Manager 833-6650 .

"Spill over" lighting shall be kept to a minimum to prevent· disturbance and intrusion into residential areas through the use of lower lighting, with light standards jor fields and courts designed to minimize the light intrusion into residential areas. implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact of nighttime lighting to a level of less-than-significant. This mitigation measure is included as a mitigation measure in the Eastern Dublin General Plan/Specific Plan EIR and the Mitigation Monitoring Program applicable to this Project (see attached Exhibit). The assumption used in the environmental document regarding the effects of the park lighting on aircraft flying approximately 700 feet or higher above the ground is that if "spill over" lighting is kept to a minimum so it does not intrude on the nearby residences, based on the photometric study, and is directed toward the playing fields and courts, it would not have adverse effects on aircraft above the park. There is absolutely no reason to direct lighting for thc park toward aircraft in the sky. However, the study will include verification that this assumption is indeed correct. 3) It is acknowledged that aircraft ITom the Livermore Airport regularly flies over a portion of Eastern Dublin where the Fallon Sports Park is located. This was discussed in regard to the expansion of the Livermore Airport and the use of larger, heavier aircraft related to the expanded airport in the correspondence from the City of Dublin to the Livermore Airport District and the City of Livennore earlier this ycar and in 2004. It was not identified as a significant hazard related to the present airport use type. The Livermore Airport Master Plan Advisory Committee's Negative Declaration document for the airpOli expansion stated that overflights contribute little to ambient noise levels in Livermore where they originate, and did not evaluate tile noise resulting from the largcr aircraft to be used at the expanded tàcility. 1110:: previous Dublin envirolllilental documents which cvaluated the environmental and noise impacts of development of a park on the subje<.-'t property, the Eastern Dublin General Plan/Specific Plan EIR and the associated Mitigation Monitoring Program adopted in 1994, the Negative Declaration for Areas B and E of Oublin Ranch approved on November 18,1997, the Mitigated Negative Dcclaration for Area F ofDubIin Ranch approved on February 15, 2000, and the Mitigated Negative Deelaration for Area Fin 2004, were incorporated by reference in the Initial Study for the Fallon Sports Park development (page 7 of the Initial Study). The Initial Study for the 2004 Mitigated Negative Declaration for Area F of Dublin Ranch in 2004 reviewed the proposed reconfiguration of uses, including the use of 60 acres for a community park. Included in the Initial Study was a detailed analysis ofthe existing noise sources in the vicinity of the project site, and identification of areas subject to unacceptable noise levels exceeding 60 decibels. The major sources of noise identified in the documents were the traffic on 1-580, some local streets in Area F of Dublin Ranch, and aircraft flyovers. Mitigation Measures for noise (Mitigation Measures 3.10/1.0 and 3.10/3.0-5.0), which was determined to be a less-than-significant impact in the area with mitigation, wcre addressed by Letter to City of Livermore - Mitigated Negative Declaration Fallon Sports Park Development Page 3 P A 05-021 11I/Þ these documents and are included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program in the attached Exhibit matrix. Relative to the park use, short-term construction noise was an issue of concern and Mitigation Measures incorporated into the park project will reduce the level of short-term construction noise to a less-than-signifìcant Ieve1. The proposed park area was not identified as a location subject to excessive long-term noise exceeding 60 decibels, unlike some residential subdivisions which are surrounded by sound walls due to traffic noise. Therefore, no further mitigation for noise impacts, including those resulting ITOm aircraft flyovers, is necessary. Please refer to Response under Comment 2, above, related to hazards resulting ITom park lighting on aircraft. 4) Comment acknowledged regarding distances ITom the Project site to the Livermore Airport. Please refer to Response under Comment 3, above, regarding noise impacts. Based on the environmental documents prepared by Dublin for the project site, and those prepared to the Livermore Airport Expansion project, there is no need to disclose noise hazards to potential park users.

Livermore's concerns with the environmental analysis and proposed sports park generally focus on the location of the sports park, and the subsequent interplay of sports park operations with aircraft operations, as described below. Proiect Descriution and Previous Environmental Documentation - From the project description, it appears that this environmental analysis is being tiered from the 1993 ElR prepared for the East Dublin General Plan AmendnlentlSpecific Plan, as well as a number of subsequent tiered TS/MND's [or the East Dublin planning area. It is not clear, howcver, that the previous environmental documcnts planned for and analyzcd the propŒed sports park, because the references in the prior analyscs were for a "coml11lLtlity" park, and not a "sports" park (see paragraph 1 and 2, page 7 ofIS/MND). Ifthe proposed sports park is indeed the previously analyzed community park, please providc additional discussion indicating how the cotmection ITom "community" park to "sports" park was determined appropriate to cnable CEQA tiering (c. g., the description, intended uses, and acreage range standards for community parks are consistent with and appropriate for the proposed sports park). Aesthetics - Section I, Aesthetics, response "d," indicates that lighting sources utilized at the sports park will create new light and glare impacts for the surrounding single-family residential areas. This rcsponse, howevcr, neglects to aclmowledge that the project site ¡" locatcd under the FAA estabJished traffic pattern fOr aircraft utilizing thc primary runway (25R-7L) at the Livermore Airport, and that any new lighting source added to the project site could potentially create lighting and glare impacts for pilots, 11lis impact could create a new hazard for pilots, and, as such, it is discussed further under the following Hazards comment section. , " \(pß' Hazards - Section VII, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, response "e, f' indicates that there are no anticipated impacts related to aircraft noise and crash zone hazards, The project site, however, is located undcr the FAA established traffic pattern for the primary runway (25R-7L) at the Livermore Airport, indicating that the site will be frequently over-flown by aircraft. Secondly, this hazards response indicates that in 1999, the ALUC had no jurisdiction over land uses within the project site. Since that time, however, the ALUC airport influence area boundary has expanded, and now encompasses the southern half of the project site, indicating that the ALUC now has jurisdiction over land uses within the project. Finally, Livermore requests that additional mitigation be incorporated into the IS/MND that will ensure that all lighting sources utilized at the sports park are desigr¡ed to direct light downward so as to prevent upward spill- over or create glare into the FAA designated aircraft traffic pattern. Livermore requests that this ISIMND response be amended to disclose the potential of these aircraft related conflicts, and to add additional mitigation to control lighting source impacts from the project on pilots. Noise - Section XI, Noise, response "e, f' indicates that the project is not located within two- mUes of a public airport, finding that project would not expose people in the project area to excessive noise levels. This response is incorrect because the western boundary of the Livermore Airport is located (.83)-mile from the project site, and the western end of the primary runway is located 1.52-miles from the project site. Additionally, as discussed under the hazards comment, the project site is located under the FAA desigr¡ated aircraft traffic pattern for the primary runway, and, as such, will be frequently over-flown by aircraft, therefore exposing sports parks users to some amount of aircraft noise. During consideration of the draft Airport Master Plan Update in 2004, Liverm.ore received 21 letters from Dublin residents indicating that aircraft operations were problematic for their business and residential activities, as well as two letters from the City of Dublin echoing these same concerns (attached). Livcrmore requests that this response be amended to disclose thc potential for sports park users to be exposed to aircraft nOIse. Once again, LivelTIlOre appreciates the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Livennorc rcquests that Dublin respond to our concems with this project, and indicate how these concerns will bc incorporated into the project's desigr¡, use, and operation.

J am writing to express my concern that many pf the important issues raised by myself and by earlio:r cOlTespondence from the City of Dub1iJJ have not· been addressed by the Advisory Committee's recommendations. I believe that the following issues should be addressed in the revisions to the Airport Master Plan and in future environmental documentation, which should be in the form of an EnvironmentalImpact R,eport (EIR) consistent with thc California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelinès an¡;lprovisions: ' . l'roicct Site The Negative Declaration does not discuss existing or approved noise se¡¡~itive USe~ wit1Jjn the City of Dublin that are located in close proximity to the Airport. This infomwtion should bc use<\ in the documents, such as in the AirspaceP1an. The Easkrn Dublin Speoific Plan and Generall'hm Améndment and the subsequent implementing approvals have been consistent with A¡UC policies regarding the Airport and specifically recognized the existillg Airport Protection Area. Likewise, existing and approved dcvclopment wit!ùn the City ofDubHn should be recognized: in the Airport Masler Plan and the resulting effects should be addressed. · Aircraft Mix The ehangcs in aircraft mix that will result from tho proposed changes to hangar sp~ce, runway design (length and pavèment strength), and Airport Business Plan will create noise impacts that have not been adequately addressed in tho previous Negativo Declaration. The changes to hangars will accommodate larger and noisier aircraft aDd these additional impacts should be studied and mitigated in the environmental documentation under CEQA. Under a "Reduced Project" scenario, typically found in the Alternatives Rection of an EIR, the Livermore Municipal Airport would have an opporhmity to review the Airport's goals and impacts without the changes brought about by the proposed new hangars, neW runway design, aDd new leaseholds. . .

Noise The Live=ore General Plan EIR stated that over flights contribute little to ambient noise levels in Livermore, However, the General Plan Eill. did not assume a shift in aircraft mix resulting :&om the proposed changes to the Airport as a result of the 2004 Update project or assume that planes operate as low as 700 feet above existing and planned residential uses in the eastern DubliDarea. At this distance, over flights do have the potential to increase noise impacts to residences located wit;hin these flight paths. Additionally, the General Plan Eill. and Mitigated Negative Declaration do not include any discussion ofsin.gle noise ey;,;utR from aircraft flyovers to sensitive receptcrs'located in Dublin. Further arlalysis äñct d1s~ldsùTe of existing and potential impacts are needed to .provide full disclosure of the potential adverse impacts of the 2004 Update project. · Airoort Business Plan The Airport Business Plan attached to the Master Plan Update recommends that a b1,Ûfer .be created .5 to 1 wile beyond the Airport Protection Area due to perceived conflicts with residential uses., These conflicts should be fully disclosed and identii1ed in greater detail to adequately address the !",oject impacts. · OoerationaJ Limits .

Specifically, the City js concerned that the cxpanded airport operation will result in addjtional noise impacts to thc existing and planned residential uses located within Eastern Dublin. In the past, the City has received complaints from Eastern Dublin -residents regarding flìght activities [rom existing operation of the Livcrmore AirpOlt. Dublin is çoncemcd that the scope and content ofthe Mitigate-d Negative Dcclaration is not adequate. The City's commcnts are sU!run~rized bclow: Pruiett Site The Mitigated Ncgative Declaration does not mention uses within the City of Dublin as adjacent to the project site. The Mitigated Ncgative Declaration does not discuss existing or approved noise sensitive uses within the City of Dublin that are located in close proximity to the Airport. The City of Dublin is located less than y, mile away from the 7L-25R Runway a.nd the General Plan shows residential land uses that are located less than I mile from the exisiÌng Runway. Additionally, cxisting single-family residential land uses are located approximately 1.8 miles away from the existing Runway. . Additionally, the Master Plan should recognize existing development approval within adjacent cities. The Eastern Dublin Specific PJan and General Plan Amendment and the subseqtlent implementing approvals (i.e. prezoning and annexation) were consist¿nt with the ALUC policies . regarding the Airport and specifically recognized the existing Airport Protection Area surrounding the Airport.

The City would be happy to share the most CUrrcnt data in our GIS library to facilitate the preparation of a new map, Proiect Description The project description states the plan does not encourage increased operations, however changes to airport including runway lengthening and strengtIÚ:rnng, new taxiway, and additional hanger space will result in increased utilization of the Airport. The Project DescriptiQn section on page 7 includes the statement that "implementation of the plan does not encourage increased operations." This statement is contradicted by a statement ili the Master Plan, found on page 2-9, which.reads: . "The availability of reasonably priced hangar units will largely govern the amount ofincœase in single-engine aircraft based at the airport. Hangar availability will also shape the growth in other aircraft types. ,.. Growth in multi-engine aircraft (i.e. both piston and jet) will also be affected by the ability of cornmercialleaseholds." According to the Master Plan the aircraft mix is projected to change significantly in the future. TIle proposed modifications to the Airport will facilitate these changes to the aircraft mix, which will in turn result in a higher percentage of larger and noisier aircraft utilizing the Airport. The table below is from the Master Plan, which demonstrates that the largest percentage increase in aircraft type occurs in the twin-engine and small business jet aircraft. These planes tend to produce the highest levels of noise. Without the proposed changes to the Airpmi, the increased utilization of these types of aircraft could not be accommodated. The change in aircraft mix would result in additional noise impacts, which were not addressed or studied, nor mitigation meaiures ide.nti fled.

The City is concerned that the flight paths and flight patterns will \ rcgularly place larger and noisier aircraft above sensitive receptors within the Eastern Dublin Area. h} Noise The Mitigated Negative Declaration does not contain an adequate discussion or analysis on potential noise impacts. Aircraft noise around airports consists of a series of single-events fTorn individual aircraft flyovers. The methodology utilized in the Mitigated Negative Declaration was an average of noise levels (CNEL). This methodology does not quantify the maximum instahtan.eous noise levels (LmllX) from individual aircraft flybys, therefor", the utilization of C]\¡"EL alone can make it difficult for the pùblic "and decision makers to fully evaluate noise effects. The Livermore General Plan ErR stated that over flights contribute little to ambient noise levels in LiveIlIlore. However, according to information from the Airport Manager, aircraft operate as low as 700 feet above existing and planned residential uses within Eastern Dublin. At this distance, over flights do have the potential to increase noise impacts to residences located within flight paths. Additionally, the General Plan ErR and Mitigated Negative Declaration do not include any discussion of single noise events froni aircraft flyovers to sensitive receptors located in Dublin. TI1e General Plan EIR projected an additional I13,OOO-flight increase from 2000 to 2020. However, the General Plan EIR did not assu.me a shift in aircraft mix resulting from the proposed changes to the Airport. As a result of this shift, larger aircrafts would be introduced and additional potential noise impacts would result that were not studied and mitigation measures were not identified in either the Livermore General Plan EIR or the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Therefore the sole reliance upon Mitigation Measure Noise GP-2 to fully mitigate nois~ impacts is inappropriate given the prcigrarmnaticnature of the Livermore General Plan EIR and" the proposed changes to the Airport as a result of the Master Plan update. The Aimort Business Plan The AirpOl1 B usine~s Plan attachcd to thc Master Plan Update suggcsts that a buffer bc created. 5 to 1 mile beyond the Airport Protection Arca c\uc to conflicts with residcntial uses. Plea.~e clarify ¡fit is intended to cxtend tillS buffer beyondjuÔsdictionallÎ11es, into nearby cities. Overational Limits The Draft City of Livermore General Plan contaÎ11s Policy (N-I.1.P4) tllat tile City shall require operational limitations and feasible noise buffering for new uses that generate significant noise impacts near scnsitive uses. Although the airport is not a new use, changes in operations activity would change the FAA classification of the airport, the Airport Reference Code. The City of Dublin is concerned that without specific operational limitations, the impacts of the airport expansion cannot be adequately predicted or controlled. Thank you again for the opportunity to provide these comments. TIle City of Dublin looks forward to working with Livennore represeIl@tives to craft appropriate mitigation measures that ensure the impacts from the proposed expansion of the Airport are fully mitigated. The City respectfully requests that this Mitigated Negative Declaration not be adopted until such time that adequate mitigation measures can be identified that fully mitigates the impacts resulting from the Master Plan impJementation. lit The City believes that cooperation between Livennoæ and Dublin on this issue can result in a solution that is beneficial to the citizens of both communities.

In summary, we found three areas that need additional analysis to allow a reader to acquire a complete understanding of the project's impacts. They are: 1. Increase in ambient noise due to proiect - The IS/MND does not provide an analysis of the change in aircraft noise levels that would occur as a result of the project implementation. ' 2. Sinqle event noiseJevels - The IS/MND does not discuss single event noise levels from individual plane flyovers. The California Division of Aeronautics and a ¡"eeent court decision both identify the need to discuss single event noise and potential effects. 3. Outdoor noise levels in excess of Citv standards - The IS/MND states that existing residences east ofrhe airport will be exposed to a potentially significant impact since outdoor noise levels will be in excess of a CNEL of 60 dBA, the City's normally acceptable noise level. Air-conditioning is proposed to mitigate the impact by allowing windows to remain ciosed. Is the impact mitigated if outdoor levels remain over 60 dBA? Discussion The IS/MND identifies impacts that are associated with the implementation of the master plan. Impacts associated with the plan are primarily based on the findings of Ihe EIR on the Livermore General Plan Update. The noise related sections of the following documents were consulted during our review; 1100 Larkspur Landing Circle #354 I Larkspur CA 94939 I Tal 415 464 0150 I Fax 415 464 0165 Pieroe Maodonald 31 March 2004 Page 2 nip · Livermore Municîpal Airport Master Plan Update, Public Review Draft, March 2004 · Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for Ihe Livermore Municipal Airport Draft Master Plan, February 2004 · City of Livermore General Plan 2003 - 2025 · The Draft/Final EIR on the City of Livermore General Plan (except Appendix F - Noise) · Noise Impact Analysis, Livermore Airport, Livermore California, Prepared by LSA Associates, June 2002 1. No "INcReAsE IN NOise" DISCUSSION Page 51 of the IS/MND, section XI(c) addresses inorease in ambient noise levels. The IS/MND states that the implementation of the Airport Master Plan Update would not lead to any greater or different noise impacts related to substantial permanent increases in ambient noise levels than those identified in the 2003 EIR for the General Plan Update and refers the reader to pages 165 to 174 in Volume II of the 2003 EIR. According to the 2003 EIR, a project would have significant noise impaot if the project would increase noise levels by over 4 dBA above existing levels without the project. The increase in noise from the airport, however, is not assessed with respect to .this . standard. Instead it is assessed only with respect to the City of Livermore's standard for outdoor noise, a CNEL of 60 dBA This approach igndres the guidance of the State of California's Airport Land Use Planning Handbook 1 which states that, "... consideration needs to be given to not just the absolute level of noise, but also the amount of noise increase resulting from the project." Examination of tile existing and future airport noise oontours indicates that areas near the airpOrt would experience increases in aircraft noise of up to 5 dBA An analysis of noise increases should be conduoted for the noise sensitive areas in the airport vicinity including those in the City of Dublin. 2, No SINGLE EVENT NOISE LEVEL DISCUSSION Aircmft noise around airports consists of a series of single events from individual aircraft flyovers. Federal and State regulations require that the noise exposure from airports be quantified in terms of cumulative (or average) noise level descriptors such as CNEL or Ldn. These descriptors, however, do not quantify the maximum instantaneous noise levels (Lenox) from individual aircraft flybys and, therefore, can make it difficult for the public and deoision makers to fuily evaluate noise effects, 1 "California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook," State of California Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics, January 2002, prepared by Shutt Moen Associates, page 7-40. Pierce Macdonald 31 March 2004 Page 3 /î1 Litigation over an EIR on the Airport Development Plan at the Oakland International Airport resulted In a recent court decision that required a supplemental EIR addressing single event noise levels. Similarly, the State of California recognizes the limitation of the CNEL metric and suggssts the use of other noise metrics such as Lmax as is evidenced by the following excerpt from the State's Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. '¡!\ final consideration with respect to reviews of airport development proposals is that the issue involves not only a matter of policy (how much noise is acceptabiè?), but also, as previously noted, communication of the information in a form that the general public can comprehend. Consequently environmental impact documents prepared for airport- related projects may need to make use of supplemental noise metrics to explain the impacts even though the determination of significance relies upon criteria related to cumulative noise metrics. "Z The inclusion of information regarding single event noise and flight tracks would help the public understand the effects of the project and allow adjacent communities to adopt appropriate land uses and planning policies. Disclosure of flight tracks and a discussion of single event noise levels and their effects could reduce the potential for future noise complaints. 3. MITIGATION OF OUTDOOR NOISE . Tlie IS/MND refers ta page 173af the 2003 EIR which has the soleimpatt statement regarding aircraft noise (NOISE GP~2).3 It identifies that hames, east of the airport,. will be exposed to a CNEL greater than 60 dBA, a significant impact. The adopted mitigation measure requires tllat the City purcllase and installing air conditioning units for the affe.cted residences so that their windows can be closed when it would otherwise be too hot ta do so. Although the EIR states that this mitigation measure will reduce the impact to a iess than significant level, the air conditioning will not imprave the noise environment in the backyards of the homes. The backyards would still have a CNEL which is greater than the "normally acceptabie" noise level of 60 dBA for residential land use (General Pian Table 9-7). The Negative Declaration should explain how the installation of air conditioning will fully mitigate the significant noise impact. . . . 2 Same es footnote 1. 3 Livermore Draft General Plan Bnd Downtown Specific PI en Environmental Impact Report Public Review Draft, Volume II, June 2003, page 174 , .
