Dear Howard:
Enclosed you will find recommendations of General Plan changes effecting land in the
10 11'0 slope area.
These recommendations were prepared as a result of a joint conference of Triad
representatives and advisors and a committee of the Save Our Hills group.
Having had the opportunity to review the recommendations, we asked our architects,
Werner and Sullivan, to analyze the impact. Their analysis has suggested that these
recommendations are in harmony with the Master Plan we have developed for our
project.
It is therefore Triad's recommendation that these proposed General Plan Amendments be
forwarded to the Planning Commission for their review and potential approval.
Although some of the new recommendations need some refinement, the proposal and
changes are as acceptable to Triad Systems as our orlcinal recommendations. We
therefore urge the Commission to review these matters for the appropriate approval.
Looking forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. O'Malley

Dear Thomas O'Malley,
Please find enclosed our clarification of some of the language in the
"Scenic Route Element"_,of".the 'General' Plan. Fiore specifically, that part
which relates to slope areas. We hope that this new language clarifies
the issue for yourself and your architects and site planners. If there
are any questions or problems as you apply these guidelines, please do not
hesitate to call upon us, again.
Sincerely,

Comment on P. 93, (7) , b: We feel that allowing only industrial construction
on hillsides is not legally supportable without amending many other sections
of our General Plan and ordinances. Livermore construction standards have
always favored residential construction over industrial.

II. SUMMARY
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The site is a 393-acre L-shaped parcel consisting primarily of grass-covered slopes used :
for grazing. The proposal is to annex the property to the City of Livermore and develop
the property as a Research and Development Industrial Park. The project would require
City amendment of the Community General Plan, prezonina of the site to a Planned
Development District, approval of a Specific Pion, approval of a Pienned Unit
Development and approval to subdivide the site into 26 lots.
B. GEOLOGY, SOILS, TOPOGRAPHY AND SEISMICITY
I. Settinq
The site is well drained with no occurrence of high water tcble. Some steep slopes are
unstable and contain landslips; erosion hazard is high in these areas. On the eently sloping
southern portion of the site erosion hazard is slight to modercte. In 1931 a minor bedrock
fault was encountered during trenching but no evidence of active faulting on the site was
f ound.
2. Impacts
The proposed project would develop about 30'o of the site's hillsides above 10 slope; this
Would not comply with existing Ce.^eral O'cn celicies. Sloee fcilure Cue to 'cndslidine er
erosion could cause property damcge and siltation of streams. Changes in scii volume due
to seasonal saturation and drying could ciso cause some property dcmege. The project
would result in the loss of soils that have marginal agricult,;ral potential but Good rcnee
quality. Groundshaking from the areas's five major fault zones and local earthquake
faults could cause ground failures and structural damage.
II. .Summery
3. Mitigation
The project sponsor should adhere to recommendations of a geotechnical report prepared
for the development of each lot on the site, particularly the steeply sloping areas.
Recommendations should include site-specific information for repairing potentially un-
stable slopes in or near developed areas. An agricultural management program could be
incorporated in the development plan to help offset the loss of soil productivity from the
project. Conservative grading practices would minimize the potential for seismically
induced landsliding in cut or fill slopes. The City could consider other plans that would
allow similar development that does not use as much of the site's hillsides above 10%
slope.
C. HYDROLOGY
I. Settina
The site drains to Coolan Creek on the west, Collier Canyon Creek on the east and Arroyo
Las Positas on the south. A narrow portion of the site's southeast corner is subject to
flooding by Collier Canyon Creek, as are downstream (offsite) drainageways. Rainfall is
about 14 inches per year and average runoff for the entire site is about 15% to 30%.
2. Imoccts
The portion of the site subject to flooding is largely proposed for open space uses, which
would be unaffected. The project would increase on-site impervious surface to approxi-
mately 45% of the developable area (200 acres). This would increase stormwater runoff
and peak flood flows downstream. The development would at least double present site
runoff. Existing storm drainage facilities on 1-580 may not be adequate to handle the
increase. There is high potential for erosion during and shortly after each phase of
grading. This could contribute sediment to downstream drainage facilities resulting in
local flooding, water quality degradation end increased maintenance costs.
i
3. ��� ication
The developer's engineers should verify that grading and drainage at full buildout will be
adequate to avoid potential adverse impacts on storm drainage facilities on 1-580. To
mitigate erosion and sedimentation potential the sponsor should prepare a comprehensive,
staged erosion and sedimentation control plan subject to approval by the Alameda County
II. Summary
Flood Control District. The plan should include both construction and permanent control
measures. Regular cleaning of streets and parkinq areas and a system of filtering
contaminants in the runoff system would minimize water quality degradation but would
impose higher costs on the development.
D. LAND USE
I. Settina
The site occupies unincorporated land in Alameda County, contains no structures and is
currently used for agriculture and grazing. The site is bordered by 1-580 to the south;
immediately south-of the freeway lies industrial land, a golf course, and the Livermore
,Municipal Airport, all within the City of Livermore. The campus of Chabot College is
currently the only urban development north of 1-580 in the vicinity of the project, but two
major developments are proposed for nearby sites. Alameda County has zoned the site PD
(Planned Development). The Association of Say Area Governments has adopted policies
specific to the Livermore-Amador Volley.
2. Imoccts
The proposed General Plan Amendment and annexation to the City of Livermore would
increase the amount of land available in the City for industrial development but
construction of the project would preclude current agricultural uses and residential use of
the site as allowed in the Alameda County General Plan. Acreages for the various
proposed land uses are: 110.9 acres for Triad's facilities, 112.7 acres for other light
industrial/office users, 19 acres for supoort services, 17 acres for roads and 133 acres to f
remain in open spcce. Approving the project, or one of the other proposals in the some
area, would set a precedent for development and encourage additional urban growth on
agricultural lands in the project vicinity. The project sponsor has requested that the City `
zone the site as a PD District. Although the project is consistent with policies to increase
employment opportunities in Livermore, it is inconsistent with policies to consolidate
development or to control development in hillside crees, especially those along scenic
corridors. Annexction of the site to the City would be subject to approval by the Local
Agency Formation Commission. Es

II. Summary
3. Mitiaation
To minimize impacts of the project the City should impose conditions of approval on site
plans as they are developed for the site. These conditions should address issues such as
landscaping, building design and grading requirements.
E. HOUSING
I. Settinq
In 1976 the City's General Plan established policies limiting growth of the housing stock to
2% annually, due to the need to provide services and meet air and water quality standards.
Livermore has experienced a very low vacancy rate with a 20010 increase in housing prices
between 1974 and 1981; this has made it difficult for families to locate affordable
housing. The General Plan includes policies which address this issue.
2. Imoocts
The pro iect would not displace any residential units but it would increase demand for
housing in the area due to employment generated on the site (estimated at 5,500 to 6,000
jobs). The development could generate a demand for 3,500 to 4,000 housing units. Of
these, Livermore would experience a demand for between 2,3=0 and 2,550 units. The
project contributes cumulative!y to a trend toward employment-cene,rated development in
Livermore and to the demand for housing.
3. Mitication
r
The City could mitigate the tight housing market resulting from cumulative employment-
generating development in Livermore by revising its General P!an and by providing multi-
family and less expensive single-family housing.
F. TRANSPORTATION
I. Settina
The site is directly accessible via Collier Canyon Road cnd Doolan Canyon Road.
Regional access is available at the 1-580/Airway Boulevard combination cloverleaf-
diamond design interchange. Both Collier Canyon Road and Deelen Canyon Road carry
low traffic volumes. Current volumes on 1-580 indicate very s;cble traffic flows. During
a.m• and p.m. peak hours the off-romps excerience backups and delays in attempting to
access onto Airway Boulevard, but traffic signals are not warranted.
.r
S
II. Summary
2. Impacts
The project would generate about 205,600 daily trips with about 3,300 trips during the a.m.
peak hour and 3,700 trips during the p.m. peak hour. about one-half the trios to/from the
proposed service uses would remain internal to the project. If local housing growth does
not keep pace with employment, a greater percentage of the project's commute travel
would be to/from housing west of Livermore. Traffic volumes on local streets would
increase but relatively stable traffic flows would be maintained. There would, however, '
be some peak-hour congestion on Collier Canyon Rccd east of Airway Boulevard. 1-550
would continue to operate at stable conditions. Protected volumes would be within the
capacity of existing interchange ramps but congestion would worsen and signals would be
warranted. Impacts from proposed cumulative development are also considered in the
traffic section.
3. MitiQation
Collier Canyon Road should be widened between the intersection with Airway and the
site's east boundary. The number of driveways to the site should be minimized and their
locations should be coordinated. The romps at the 1-550 interchange should be signalized.
Mitications related to cumulative deve!opment are also suggested.
G. PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES
I. Setting
No public agencies currently supply water or provide wastewater treatment for the site,
but water and sewer lines are located adjacent to the site. Police and fire service is
currently provided by the County but, if annexed, the site would be served by the City.
2. I Tpaat5
The City anticipates that water supply facilities would be sufficient to serve the project.
Ability to provide wastewater treatment service would depend on when specific projects
are proposed and how much treatment capacity they require. The existing water main
adjacent to the site, however, may not have sufficient fire flow capacity to serve the site
and Chabot Collece simultaneously. Electric and cgs lines could also be provided by
PG&E without difficulty. The proposed project clone would not have adverse impacts on
police and fire service or schools.
II. .Summory
3. tilitication
The project sponsor is encouraged to use reclaimed water from the treatment plant for
landscaping. If the cumulative demand for wastewcter treatment by industrial projects
approaches or exceeds existing capacity, the City could consider expanding the treatment
plant's capacity or limiting total wastewater generation from individual projects on the
project site. Utilities extended to the site should be installed underground in accordance
with the General Plan. The project sponsor should include fire protection systems, access
roads and weed abatement plans in project designs. Project designs should be submitted
to the police department to recommend security measures.
H. AIR QUALITY
I. Setting
The 1967 Clean Air Act, as amended, contains air quality standards designed to protect
the public's health and welfare. Existing data indicate that air quality in Livermore is in
compliance with standards for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur i
dioxide (502), while ozone concentrations and Total Suspended Particulates (TSP)
exceeded the state standards in recent years.
2. Impacts
Construction activities would create a temporary increase in dust-Fall near the site which
might temporarily violate the TSP standard. It is not expected that the regional air
quality impcct of the proposed project would be of measurable mcenitude. The project is
consistent with the Livermore General Plan as well as with scecific transportation
measures in the 1979 Boy Area Air Quality Plan.
3. Miticotion
No air quality mitigation measures are required by low but several measures suggested for
inclusion as part of the proposed project include wetting disturbed soil surfaces to control
dust grid incorporation of traffic mitigation measures which reduce traffic volumes or
congestion. j

II. Summary
1. VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE
I. Settina
The site is primarily grassland with a cluster of introduced trees near the 1-580
interchange and two rows of eucalyptus trees originally planted as windbreaks. Wildlife is
limited and no rare or endangered species were found during the site survey. Existing
intermittent waterways do not support riparian vegetation.
2. lmoacts
The proposed project represents cn incremental loss of grassland habitat in the Amador-
Livermore Valley area. The project would result in the loss of habitat for nesting birds
which the few mature trees on the site support. The project would also alter the
hydrologic regime of Collier Canyon Creek, which could degrade riparian and aquatic
habits on-site and downstream.
3. Mitigation
Landscaping plans should include native trees. The channelization of Collier Creek should
be conducted in accordance with California Fish and Game guidelines and alternative
channel designs should be examined.
J. VIEWS AND AESTHF—TICS
I. Settinq
The site is characterized by open grasslands used primarily for grazing. Existing
development adjacent to the site is rural, consisting of several older ranch houses. The
low buildings and parking lots of Chabot College to the east are partially screened from
view by campus Icndscooing. The site is highly visible from surrounding land uses.
Policies contained in the Livermcre General Plan and Scenic Route Element would
regulate development on the site.
2. Imcccts
The project would alter the site's character from a rural to an urban setting. Visual
impacts would result from the layout, sjze and density of buildings, proposed landscaping,
grading and access. The development would be visible from a scenic corridor and two
scenic routes and would contrast sharply with surrounding rural development.

II. Summary
I
3. +MitiQafion I
t
Site development would be subject to General Pion policies with respect to visual I
resources. Conditions of approval of site plans should include grading and landscaping
requirements as well as specific guidelines for the placement, height and materials of
buildings within the scenic corridor.

i
K. NOISE
i
i
I. Setting
i
Traffic on 1-580 is the main source of noise in the project area. A secondary noise source j
is air traffic from the Livermore Municipal Airport. CNEL levels were calculated to be l
84 dBA at the highway edge, 71 dBA 100 feet from the highway and 068 dBA 200 feet from
the highway. Policies in the City of Livermore General Plan establish limits for outdoor
noise levels in light industrial and business park areas. i
i
2. Impacts
I
Construction noise which would occur during development of the project could disturb
residents along Collier Canyon Road and students at Chabot College. Improvements to
I
surrounding roads and the interchange, if required, would also generate on off-site noise
source. Traffic related noise levels along Collier Canyon Road would increase from 050
LDN to 63 LDN at 50 feet from the roadside. In combination with other proposed
developments in the area, residences along Collier Canyon Road would experience noise 1
levels in excess of compatible use levels in the General Plan. j
. 1
3. Mitication
a
I
Installation of a sound barrier along the southern site boundary should be required to
reduce noise impacts from 1-580. Construction noise impacts can be reduced by proper '
scheduling of construction activity, muffling machinery and minimizing the amount of
grading required.
i
v
Il. Summary
L. ENERGY
I. Settina
Energy consumption on the site is minimcl because of its agricultural character.
2. Impacts
Energy would be consumed by the project for construction, on-site operations, project
generated travel and municipal services. Rough estimates of operating energy require-
ments may be made based upon data for similar projects and compliance with Title 24.
Results of these calculations indicate that the project would consume 177 billion BTU per
year or the equivalent of 32,000 barrels of oil.
3. Mitigation
The project sponsor should consider the use of active and passive solar technology for both
water and space heating as well as energy conservation. Other energy conservation
features which should be considered include automated energy management, individual
switches on lights and space conditioning equipment where possible, chilled water storage
and heat recovery.
M. ARCHAEOLOGY
I. Settina
The property was surveyed in 1980 in conjunction with a previous residential proposal for
the site and no archaeological resources were recorded on the property. These findings
were verified during a more recent field survey on the site.
2. lrrpccts
Development plans would have no adverse impacts on known archaeological resources.
This does not, however, preclude th,e oossioility that archaeological remains could be y
encountered during construction ectitivites.
3. Aitiaction
If archaeological deposits are encountered during construction, work in the area should be
halted and a qualified archaeologist consulted. If such deposits are encountered, z
personnel should be instructed not to further disturb the finds.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. SITE LOCATION AND SETTING
The site is located in the north-central portion of the Livermore-Amador Valley, about
three miles northwest of downtown Livermore, in unincorporated territory adjacent to the
Livermore City limits on the east and south (see Figures I and 2). The Livermore-Amador
Valley is a large intermontane valley separated from the Bay Plain and the Central Valley
by highlands and terraces of the Diablo Range. The Valley drains westward to the Bay
Plain through Niles Canyon; watercourses are all tributary to Alameda Creek.
Pooulation in the Livermore-Amador Vclley grew rapidly during the late 1950s and 19605
with a slower growth through the late 1970s due to constrcints of poor air quality and
limited sewage treatment capacity. In 1980, Valley population was 104,406 and the
population of Livermore was 48,450 (U.S. Bureau of the Census). The majority of recent
growth has taken place within the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton. The other major
population center in the Valley is Dublin, a community which recently became
incorporated. The Valley is largely residential and commuting to employment outside the
Valley is common. Recently, long-vecant industrial and commercial land has been
developing rapidly, with concomitant increases in employment.
The 393-acre L-shaped site is bordered by 1-580 to the south, Doolan Canyon Road to the
west, Collier Canyon Road to the east, and open ranchlands to the north. Immediately
south of the freeway lie industrial land, a golf course, and the Livermore Municipal Air-
port, all within the City of Livermore. The airport runway is about 2,500 feet south of
the site. East of the site, across Collier Canyon Road, is the Valley Campus of Chabot
College, also within the City of Livermore. Open agricultural ranchland lies to the west
: i
i
and north. The site is flanked by Cottonwood Creek to the west and Collier Creek to the
east; both drain to Arroyo Las Pcsitas, about 1 ,000 to 2,000 feet south of the site. The JJ
site slopes gradually (5o - 10 0) from e!evation + 400 feet at the south border to about I

111. Project Description
500 feet near the middle, and then much more steeply, (up to 401o) northerly to a
maximum of about 800 feet.
The site was the subject of a previous environmental review by the Alameda County
Planning Department in 1981. At that time the Broadmoor Development Company
requested rezoning of the site from Agricultural (A) to permit a Planned Development
(PD) with 1,750 single cnd multi-femily dwelling units. The Broadmoor proposal also
contained commercial, recreational and open space use and on elementary school. The
County approved the project and rezoned the site to a PD zoning district, but the proposal
was later dropped by Broodmoor.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Triad Systems Corporation, the project sponsor, proposes to annex the 393-acre site to the
City of Livermore and deve!op the property as a Fesearch and Development (P.; D)
Industrial Park. Triad Systerns Corporation develops, manufactures, markets and services
computer systems. if the proposed project is approved, Triad plans to relocate its
corporate business operations from the present Sunnyvale location to the proposed project
site.
The project is currently at the conceptual planning stcce; building designs and detailed
site plans have not been proposed. Components of the project that the City of Livermore
is requested to take action en, and that form the basis of analysis in this report, include
the following: annexing the site to the City of Livermore; amending the text and map of J�
the Livermore Community Cenerci Plan; prezoning the site to a PD (Planned Deve!op-- i
merit) District; approving a , cnned Unit Development; subdividing the site into 26 lots;
and approving a Specific Plan for the site, which would involve defining the limits of the
Scenic Corridor and soec.flc policies for this site that would guide development in the
corridor.
Subdivision of the site is procosed 'a allow flexibility for development by Tricd cnd other
potential industrial users. A!thouch development would occur on slopes of more then a
ten percent grade, approximately 133 acres on the site's steep northern portion would
remain in open space. F-uil buildout is expected to be phased over a 10-yecr period for
Triad's facilities and over a 20-yecr period for the remainder of the site. Triad facilities
would occupy approximcteiy 110 acres of the site, 1 7 acres would be required for roads,
III. Project Description
another 20 acres would be occupied by support services such as a motel, restaurant and
other activities primarily serving the site's employees. The remaining 113 developable
acres would be subdivided into large lots for use by one or more major R&D occupants.
The proposed site plan features a linear arrangement of lots along either side of two
proposed access roads, Chabot Parkway and "A" Street (see Figure 3). The major road,
Chabot Parkway, would roughly bisect the developed portion of the site and would
separate Triad facilities and the commercial area from other R&D uses on the property.
Chabot Parkway would provide access from Collier Canyon Road south and east of the
site while "A" Street would provide access from Doolan Canyon Road on the west. In
order to enhance subdivision and development of the site's southeastern position it is
proposed that the Collier Creek channel be modified and moved slightly east of its present
course.
.Triad's facilities on the site would accommodate administrative and support functions in
addition to product design, development, assembly and distribution (see Table 1). One
purpose of the Triad development would be to achieve a campus-type setting. Triad
proposes to include a Training/Conference Center in the site's eastern portion. It is
expected that this center would include recreational and temporary lodging facilities to
house personnel required to be in the local area for a week or more for conferences or
training sessions.
