A RESOLUTION OF THE COY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
* * * * ~ . . . * A * * ft . * * *
ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
AND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM FOR PA 05-009,
EMERALD GLEN PARK, PHASE ill
WHEREAS, the project site is located in the eastern portion of the City of Dublin for which the
City adopted the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan to provide a comprehensive
planning framework for future development ofland uses, including recreational facilities, for the area. In
connection with this approval, the City certified a Program Environmental Impact Report (ElR) pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15168 (SCH:91 103064, Resolution 51-93, and Addendum dated August 22,
1994, hereafter ("Eastern Dublin ETR or "Program EIR") which is available for review in the Planning
Department and is incorporated herein by reference. The Program EIR was integral to the plal1IÙng
process and examined the direct and indirect effects, cumulative impacts, policy alternatives, and areawide
mitigation measures for development within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area; and
WHEREAS, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan ElR identified potentially sigIÚficant environmental
impacts and related mitigation measures, which the City adopted together with mitigation findings and a
Mitigation Monitoring Program (Resolution 53-93), which mitigation measures and mOIÚtoring program
continue to apply to implementing projects within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Area; and
WHEREAS, the City has reviewed construction drawings for the third phase of Emerald Glen
Park, in accordance with the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR and the
City's General Plan and pursuant to Government Code Sec. 65450 et seq.; and
WHEREAS, the potential environmental effects of the proposed project have been previously
addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EJR (SCH No. 91-103064), Additionally, a Mitigated
Negative 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 Phase HI of Emerald Glen Park; and, the Project is consistent
with the permitted land uses and goals of the City's Emerald Glen Park Master Plan to provide recreational
facilities to the public; and
WHEREAS, the City prepared an Initial Study for P A 05-009 to evaluate the environmental
impacts of constructing the third phase of Emerald Glen Park as described in the Emerald Glen Park
Master Plan, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and determined that the proposed project
and the alternate physical elements would not result in any significant adverse impacts with the
recommended mitigation measures incorporated into the project. Based on the IIÚtial Study, the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan EIR, and the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan, it has been determined by the City
Council that the impacts of the Project have been adequately identified and mitigated, and there have been
no substantial changes or new infonnation identified that would be outside the scope of the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan EIR or the Mitigated Negative DeclarationlTnitial Study for the Project; and
WHEREAS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration, attached as Exhibit A, and Mitigation Monitoring
Program, attached as Exhibit B, for P A 05-009 have been prepared for the Project with the finding that
with the implementation of mitigation measures, and those incorporated into the Project, the potential site-
specific impacts of the project would be reduced to a less-than-significant level; and
WHEREAS, a properly noticed 20-day public review period was held for the Mitigated Negative
Declaration, which began on February 22, 2005 and ended on March 14, 2005; and
WHEREAS, a letter of comment on the Mitigated Negative Declaration was received during the
public review period from the California Department ofFish and Game summarizing the Department's
policies, regulations, and guidelines related to assessment of wildlife and vegetation, Streambed Alteration
Agreements, and de miIÚmiS detenninations related to changes to fish and wildlife; and
WHEREAS, the improvements proposed in Phase TJT of the development of Emerald Glen Park
have been designed to avoid impacts to Tassajara Creek, maintaining an adequate buffer of 100-feet from
the top of the creek bank to any structure in accordance with the Eastern Dublin Comprehensive Stream
Restoration Program adopted by the City in 1996. All structures proposed in this phase are located
mllside the required IOO-foot buffer area near the creek by the adopted Eastern Dublin Comprehensive
Stream Restoration Program; and
WHEREAS, based on the record as a whole, there is no evidence that Phase IT! will have an
adverse effect on wildlife resources or the related habitat. There are no special-status species of wildlife or
vegetation in this area. A follow-up biological survey will be conducted prior to construction of trails and
structures in this phase of park improvements to confirm that no species has recently located in the area
proposed for construction. Additionally, a Streambed Alteration Agreement is not required for this project
as all construction and project-related work will be outside the Tassajara Creek corridor. On the basis of
substantial evidence in the record, the City has rebutted the presumption of adverse effect on fish and
wildlife contained in 14 California Code Regulations Section 753.5(d); and
WHEREAS, a Staff report was submitted recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution
approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration, as contained in Exhibit A, and the Mitigation Monitoring
Program, as contained in Exhibit B, tor Phase m of Emerald Glen Park; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did hold a properly noticed public hearing on the project on
March 15, 2005, at which time in their independent judgment reviewed and considered the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and all reports, recommendations and testimony before them.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the above recitals are incorporated in this
resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby find that:
A. The proposed Project is within the scope of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Program EIR,
the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan, and all
associated environmental documentation. Site-specific environmental effects have been
analyzed in an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (pA 05-009) which determined
the project will not have a sigIÚficant effect on the environment with the implementation of
mitigation measures identified in the program EIR, the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and
incorporated into the Project. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record
before the City that the project as mitigated will have a sigIÚficant effect on the environment.
B. The Program EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration P A 05-009 adequately describe the
impacts ofthe project. As further discussed in the Initial Study, there have been no
substantial changes in the project or new information which necessitate supplementing the
program EJR pursuant to CEQA Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 in
that:
1. The proposed project complies with the land uses, densities and development
policies of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, and the
Dublin General Plan.
2. There are no substantially changed circumstances that involve new or substantially
more severe significant impacts.
C. The mitigation measures identified in the Program ElR and the site-specific mitigation
measures contained in the Mitigated Negative DeclarationllIÚtial Study for P A 05-009 are
included in the Project description
D. The Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with State and local
environmental laws and guidelines.
E. The Mitigated Negative Declaration is complete and adequate for the proposed project, and
reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis as to the environmental effects of the
proposed project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby adopt
the Mitigated Negative Declaration (Exhibit A) and Mitigation Monitoring Program (Exhibit B) for P A 05-
009, Emerald Glen Park Phase TH, including the Initial Study incorporated herein by reference.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CONTEXT
The development of Emerald Glen Park and conceptual plan for the Park was approved in June 1998 by
the Dublin City Council. The basis for creation of the Park was the City's Parks and Recreation Master
Plan which also defined specific program elements to be included in Emcrald Glcn Park, as there was a
need for a large community park to serve the growing community in the eastern portion of Dublin. The
City Council appointed a task force to study these program elements and design options from 1997 to
1998. Working with City staff and other members of the community, the various design options and
associated prob'Tam elements were refined for the final Emerald Glen Park Master Plan presented to the
City Council in June 1998. The Master Plan for the Park included such facilities to serve the community
as sports fields and courts, play areas, plazas, picnic areas, restrooms and concession buildings, an aquatic
center, trails and associated parking areas. Since the original conception of the plan for the Park, the City
Council has adopted a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2004), which further refined the features
and locations of the proposed facilities for five (5) distinctive phases of development in Emerald Glen
Park, and particularly those to be constructed in Phase III of the Park.
Emerald Glen Park is located near major transportation corridors such as Tassajara Road, Gleason Drive,
Central Parkway and Interstate 580 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. Its
location in east Dublin is central to 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.
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan directs the growth of infrastructure, community centers and parks such
as Emerald Glen Park and other park sites to meet the future demands of the Dublin community under the
Specific Plan. The Specific Plan provided the necessary land use framework for development of the 48.2-
acre park site by establishing the goals, priorities and design parameters for development of each phase of
the park. Phase I of Emerald Glen Park, which has been completed, encompasses 26.1 acres and includes
the following recreational facilities:
a. A playground with water features;
b. A skateboard park;
c. 2 ~ 60 foot ball fields;
d. 1 - 90 foot baseball field;
e. 2 regulation size soccer fields;
f. 2 lighted basketball courts;
g. 4 lighted tennis courts;
h. A plaza and promenade;
I. Restroom/Concession Building;
J. Children's play area;
k. Small picnic areas with tables and benches; and,
1. Parking and street frontage improvements.

The Phase II design improvements for the Emcrald Glen Park are currently under construction and include
thc following fcatures:
a. Water feature and arbor;
b. Corporation/maintenance yard;
c. Temporary parking;
d. Street ftontage improvements; and,
e. Activity center.
The Phase III design improvements, the subject of this environmental analysis and evaluation, will
provide the following recreational featurcs:
a. 2 soccer fields with cricket overlay;
b. Bocce courts;
c. Group picnic area with arbor;
d. Play areas;
e. Mini-arboretum for native plants and vegetation;
f. Open meadow;
g. Parking and street ftontage improvements; and,
h. Connecting trails.
OTHER ACTIONS
Grading activities would occur on the site to accommodate the proposed improvements to the park.
Construction of Phase III improvements requires grading in the southwest portion oftha park where necessary
to correct drainage problems. Soil removed from this area will be used to build low mounds surrounding lawn
areas and a play hill near the play area feature. A preliminary grading plan has been submitted as part of this
proj ect.
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 Dublin 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.

Environmental Factors Potentially Affected
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least
one impact that is a "potentially significant impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.
Aesthetics Agricultural Resources Air Quality
Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology/Soils
Hazards and Hazardous Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use/ Plarming

DETERMINATION (TO BE COMPLETED BY LEAD AGENCY):
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant etfect on the environment, and
a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that the proposed project MA Y have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environmen t, but at least one effect I) has been adequately
analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMP A CTREPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain
to be addressed.
I fmd that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because
all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adeq uately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARA TTON pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant
to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that
are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

ATTACHMENT TO INITIAL STUDY: DISCUSSION OF CHECKLIST
Proiect Impacts and Mitigation Measures
I. Aesthetics
a-c) Significant impact on scenic vista, damage to .~cenic resource, degrade visual character of the site
or create light or glare?
No Impact. The project site is within an existing City park and consists of the development of
Phase III of Emerald Glen Park. The improvements proposed within the phase consist of two
soccer fields with cricket overlay; Bocce courts; group picnic area and arbor; play areas; a mini-
arboretum for native plants and vegetation; open grassy meadow areas, parking and street frontage
improvements; and, connecting trails. The 14 acres in this phase of the park proj ect are currently
undeveloped and contain little groundcover. The development would provide more scenic and
landscaped views from Central Parkway and the creek trail along Tassajara Creek adjacent to the
westside of the park. The parking lot near Central Parkway will also be screened with improved
landscaped areas and vegetation. From the residential area west of the creek alignment, the most
prominent visual features will be the mini-arboretum, the group picnic area, and the small
restroom structure. However these features will be several hundred feet from the homes, and a
frontage road, and landscaped trail and creek areas will be located between these features and the
residential units.
Development of the proposed improvements would not substantially change the visual character of
the site. Because of the location of the improvements, and the relatively flat topography of the site,
as well as the presence of surrounding development, views of the site are limited to the immediate
area. Although, Emerald Glen Park is located one mile north ofI-580 freeway, which is a
designated scenic highway, the park is not within a scenic route. Therefore, the proposed
improvements to Emerald Glen Park will not create any visual impacts that have not been avoided
or mitigated to a Less-than-significant degree during construction of previous phases of park
development. 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.
Visual quality was discussed in the earlier analysis of the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan and
addressed in the Final Eastem Dublin Specific Plan EIR. Both documents determined that
development of 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
and found to have a Less-than-significant or no 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, A statement of overriding considerations
was previously adopted with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR. No impacts not previously

analyzed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan ErR (EDSP ErR) will occur as a result of the
proposed project.
Additionally, the project contains 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.lofthe EDSP ErR require that grading be done sensitively to reduce visual impacts. Tbese
mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project.
d) Less-than-significant with Mitigation. The project is not anticipated to create additional light
and glare as the majority of lighting at the park will be low level lighting along walkways and trail.
The proposed project would not introduce additional nighttime lighting on the site. Sensor lighting
lamps with low wattage are proposed for the parking area and the sport courts will be closed at
dusk, eliminating the need for nighttime lighting. However, the following mitigation measure will
be added to the project to ensure that the lighting is adequate for the use and unobtrusive:
Mitif!ation Measure 1: A photometric study shall be provided with final construction
drawings of the project prior to the issuance of an electrical permit. 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?
No Impact. Surrounding areas near the park have been converted :from agricultural to urban uses.
The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR, Emerald Glen Park Master Plan,
and other environmental analysis of the area conclude that the area is urbanized. Additionally, one
phase of the park is completed and the second phase is underway. The remainder parkland
contains no agricultural zoning or farmland, and is zoned for community park use, consistent with
the General Plan and Specific Plan designation ofParks/Public Recreation & City Park. Approval
and construction of the proposed project would allow further development of an existing park. No
impacts are therefore anticipated with regard to prime farmland or loss of agricultural production.
Based on information contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment
ErR, 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 ErR are expected to occur as a result of the proposed project.
III. 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. Tbe Livermore sub-area basin is surrounded on all
sides by high hills or mountains. Signifìcant breaks in the hills surtounding the air basin are Niles
Canyon and the San Ramon Valley, which extends northward into Contra Costa County.
City of Dublin
Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration
Emerald Glen Park, Ph.se III P A 05-009
Page 22
February 22, 2005
According to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan ErR 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 the 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
&equent surface-based inversions. Under these conditions pollutants such as carbon monoxide
&om 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 olÙY traps locally generated pollutants but can
be the receptor of ozone and ozone precursors &um upwind portions of the greater Bay Area.
Transport of pollutants also occurs between the Livennore Valley and the San Joaquin Valley to
the east.
Ambient air quality standards
Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board have
established ambient air quality standards for common pollutants. Tbese 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. Tbe federal and California
ambient air quality standards are summarized in Table I 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.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1997 adopted new national air quality standards for
ground-level ozone and for fine Particulate Mattcr. 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 national standards
were retained, but thc 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 oflegislative authority to the
Environmental Protection Agency. The decision has been appealed, but the legal status of the new
standards will probably remain uncertain for some time.
Ambient air quality
The 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 Livennore 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 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
federal standards, and exhibit wide variations from 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 mcet the federal ambient standards but exceed the more stringent
state standard.
Attainment 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 nonattainment areas is
different under the federal and state legislation.
The Bay Area is currently a nonattainment area for the tederal I-hour ozone standard. Under the
California Clean Air Act the Bay Area is a nonattainment area for ozone and PMI O.
To meet tederal Clean Air Act requirements, the District has adopted an Ozone Attainment
Demonstration 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 from industry, prohibitions
on sources of hydrocarbons, and buyback programs for older vehicles and educational programs.
The California Legislature, when it passed the California Clean Air Act in 1988, recognized the
relative intractability of the PM] 0 problem with respect to the state ambient standard and excluded
it from basic planning requirements of the Aet. 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 PM10. 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 clinics. This project would involve construction and development
of a phase of a 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 cont1ict 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 included in Dublin's planned growth as part of the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan/General Plan EIR and would serve the existing community. Therefore, such impacts would
be less-than-significant.
b) Would the project violate any air quality standard$?
Less- than-significant 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 EastemDublin Specific Plan/General Plan
Amendment EIR will 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
frequent 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 Project construction plans to be implemented as
part of the responsibility of the contractor, and monitored by the Inspector for the Project. The
Eastern Dublin Specific 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 rclated to construction on the 14 acres of park land in this phase of park
development will be mitigated to a less-than-significant impact with the following measures related
to air quality impacts incorporated into this project phase.
Mitif!ation Measure 2: Dust Control shall conform to the requirements of the SWPPP
prepared by the City. 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 re$ult in cumulatively considerable air pollutants?
City of Dublin
Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration
Emerald Glen Park, pha,,¡e III P A 05-009
Page 26
February 22, 2005
Less-than-significant. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR identifics
Mobile Source Emissions and Stationary Source Emissions as significant irreversible impacts.
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
emissions 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 traffic as it serves the existing
community with an adequate transportation network and roadway. 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"than-.~ignificant. Proposed uses in the third phase of park development will include two
soccer fields with cricket overlay; Bocce courts; group picnic area and arbor; play areas; a
mini-arboretum for native plants and vegetation; open grassy meadow areas, parking and street
frontage improvements; and, connecting trails. Air quality impacts associated with the proposed
project 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 Phase III. The only source of pollutants would be vehicles using the roadways adjacent to the
park. These items were previously addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan
Amendment EIR. 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.
IV. Biological Resources
a-d) Have a substantial adverse impact on special-status species, riparian features, movement of fish or
wildlife species, or conflict with California Fish & Game or U.s. Wildlife Service policies or
regulations?
Less-than-significant with Mitigation. Impacts from the project upon biological resources were
thoroughly addressed in the earlier analysis of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan
Amendment EIR. No sensitive or special-status species, or riparian features exist in this portion of
the property which lies adjacent tot Tassajara Creek. Walking trails and other walkways proposed
in Phase IIJ are approximately 50 to 60 feet from the Tassajara Creek corridor which lies adjacent
to the westerly side of the park and Phase HI. The Eastern Duhlin Comprehensive Stream
Restoration Program adopted by the City in 1996 allow such walkways and trails to be constructed
within the 100-foot buffer area from the top ofthe creek bank normally restricted from
development.
The restroom structure proposed to be built in this phase of the park development is the nearest
feature to the creek to be constructed in this phase. The structure has been designed and located
outside the 100- foot buffer area required for construction near the creek, as is the arbor and paving
in the group picnic area. Although at the present time there are no special-status species of
wildlife or vegetation in this area, a follow-up biological survey in this area will be conducted
prior to construction of trails and structures near the creek corridor to verify that no species has
located in the area proposed for construction. There would be a less-than-significant impact on
biological resources with this additional mitigation measure as no sensitive or special-status
City of Dublin Pago 27
Initial Smdy & Mitigated Negative Declaration
Emeraid Gte" Park, Phase !II P A 05-009 February 22, 2005
species and riparian features will be disturbed or destroyed on the project site.
MitiE!ation Measure 3: A biological survey shall be conducted prior grading and
construction of walkways and trails near the Tassajara Creek corridor to verify that no
special species is located in the area proposed for construction in Phase III of the project.
e, f) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological reSOllrces, such as tree
protection ordinances.
No Impact. The project phase has been designed to be consistent with all Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan, General Plan and other adopted policies related to preservation and protection of biological
resources. Somc trees are in the phase area, and an existing grove of evergreen trees will bc
preserved as part of the project. Additional trees will be planted in the subject area in conjunction
with other landscaping and vegetation. The trees proposed for removal are relatively small in size,
except for a few large species within the parking lot area and the entrance to this portion of park
from Central Parkway, directly across from Killian Road. No known Heritage trees are proposed
for removal from the site. The City's Landscape Architect will make the final detennination on the
trees to be removed.
The majority of the trees will remain on the site and be protected from construction activities by
protective fencing. The construction plans for the improvements in Phase III state that any tree in
construction areas shall bc fenced and no construction or placement of equipment is to occur
within the dripline of the tree to prevent damage. A qualified arborist will be on-site to supervise
the construction to ensure that trees are not damaged or removed by accident. Additionally, the
proposed project is not located within the boundaries of any Habitat Conservation Plan. No
biological resource impacts not previously analyzed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General
Plan Amendment ErR are expected to occur as a result ofthe proposed 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 ElR 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. Although there are no
historic structures/resources or known archeological or paleontological resources on this site,
mitigation measure no.3.9/5.0 contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan
Amendment ErR establishes procedures in the event archeological resources are encollntered
during grading for subsequent phases of development in the park. These measures have been
incorporated into the project by reference, and will be followed in the event that subsurface
deposits are discovered during development of Phase III of the Park. No impacts not previously
analyzed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment ErR are expected to occur
as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated related to cultural
resources because of implementation of this phase of park development.

VI. Geology and Soils
a-e) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse impacts, including loss, injury or
death related to ground rupture, seismic ground shaking, ground failure, landslide, substantial
erosion, unstable soils, or liquefaction?
Less-than-~·ignificant. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment ETR identifies
several potential impacts to soils and geology, including earthquake and ground shaking, ground
rupture, seismic ground shaking, impacts to groundwater resources, shrink-swell potential due to
cxpansive soils, slope stability, erosion and sedimentation, in many locations in the Specific Plan
planning area.
A Geotechoical Investigation has beeo prepared for Phase III of the park development by
Kleinfelder Engineering and suggests certain measures be implemented to stabilize the soil on-site
and coru;truct the improvements to withstand groundshaking in the event of an earthquake. The
subject area aod park site contains fairly stable and well-consolidated clayey soils for the most
part, however, several inches of topsoil is loose and fairly unconsolidated. This soil will be
replaced as part of the Project prior to any groundcover or improvements being installed, Thc
topography is relatively flat with a few slightly elevated arcas. Additionally, in the Phase III area,
some stockpiling of soil, concrete rubble and trash accumulation has occurred in the southwcsterly
portion of the project area. This material and soil will be removed prior to development of the
soccer courts and the proposed detention basin near the mini-arboretum in the southwest comer of
the area. Only the soil that is of a good stable quality found in these stockpiles will be reused to
consolidate and compact the final soil on the site. A geotechnical engineer will be on site during
all earthwork in accordance with the construction program. As the improvements in this phase
consist oflow-Iying courts, trails, paving, and small single-story structures such as the restroom
and arbor, the potential for death or injury of persons using the park during an earthquake is not
anticipated.
Since the site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones, the potential for
ground rupture is anticipated to be minimal. Adherence to Mitigation Measure 3.6/1.0
contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR and in the Project
construction documents will 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.
VIT. 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 hazardous materials site?
No Impact. The proposed use of the site would include construction of recreational facilities for
Emerald Glen Park and street frontage improvements along Central Parkway. Recreational
City of Dublin

Emerald Glen Park, Phase lJl P A 05-009
Page 29
February 22, 2005
improvements on this site were discussed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan
Amendment ErR, and have always been planned for this property, No hazardous material has
been transported to or from the site, nor is anticipated to be done in the future as the site will be a
public park. Therefore, the project would not involve the use or transportation of hazardous
material. Additionally, there would be no impact with regard to the release of hazardous materials.
e,t) Is the site located within an airport land use plan ofa 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; 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 intermtxed with wildlands?
No ImpQct. Since the project would convert undeveloped land to a paved parking lot, and
recreational facilities with few structures, the two proposed driveways from Central Parkway to
Phase HI improvements will provide adequate emergency access, Due to the provision of cxisting
and planned adequate access, there would be no impact with regard to any emergency evacuation
plans.
Additionally, the project site is adjacent to an urbanized area and within close proximity to vacant
grassland that is planned for urbanization, The park will be improved with irrigation that will be
regularly maintained. Therefore, the risk of wildland fire would in this phase of the park is not
anticipated. No impact is expected relative to wildfires in the project area.
VIII. Hydrology and Water Quality
a-i) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, deplete groundwater
resources, alter drainage patterns, effect surface Dr subsUljàce water quality, result in placing
housing in aj/ood plain?
No Impact. The project conforms to Alameda County Flood Control and Water Quality District,
Zone 7 requirements and will meet the water quality standards of the City of Dublin's NPDES
permit and the Alameda County Urban Runoff Clean Water Program. The contractor selected by
the City wiIl be responsible for obtaining all pennits necessary from Zone 7 prior to construction,
and follow all provisions of the City's SWPPP and the Water Quality Control Board requirements.
Adherence to mitigation measures nos, 3.5/20.0, 3.5/44,0, 3.5/47.0, and 3.5/55.0 of the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment ErR requiring proper drainage and run-off control,
and the use of biodegradable pesticides and herbicides, will reduce surface water quality pollution
to a level of less- than-significance. Additionally, the City Public Works Department has
perfonned hydrology and drainage studies to insure that all stonnwater and drainage facilities
constructed for the park contain sufficient capacity to service the projected development of all
phases of the park plan. As a result of the studies, drainage detention basins wilI be located in
various phases of the proj ect, including in the southwesterly comer of the site in this phase.
Construction ofErnerald Glen Park Phase III recreational facilities wiIl be consistent with all the
previous actions and environmental documentation approved by the City of Dublin for east
City of Dublin

Emerald Glen Park, Phase III P A 05-009
Page 30
February 22, 2005
Dublin. No impacts not previously analyzed in the 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 with the General Plan and planned recreational uses in the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment ElR. It is Phase IJJ of a large park project
that is located on one large property. Residential development exists across Central Parkway and
also in the adjacent Sumrnerglen development to the west across Tassajara Creek. Future
development will occur across Tassajara Road from the park. No residential subdivision or
community is divided by the park. Therefore, there would be no disruption of any established
community because the proposed facilities for Emerald Glen Park are designed to serve new and
existing development in east Dublin, providing recreational facilities within walking distant to
residents. Thcrefore, this phase of park development will result in no negative or adverse impact
on land use or the community.
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy or regulation?
No impact. The Emerald Glen Park Phase HI 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. The Specific Plan and
General Plan land use maps include the designation for this park site, and refer to the Dublin Parks
and Recreation Master Plan, recently updated in 2004, for a description of the land use activities
and types offacilities to be provided in the park. The facilities proposed for development in Phase
III of the park are consistent with those projected uses in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Therefore, this phase of 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 EIR does not indicate
that significant deposits of rIÚnerals exist on the site. Additionally, the site is not shown as a
location for mineral or aggregate resources on State Mineral Resource maps. No impacts related
to the loss of mineral rcsources would occur as a result of the project.
XI. Noise
City of Dublin
Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration
Emerald Glen Park, Phase !II PA 05-009
Page 31
February 22,2005
a-d) Would the project expo$e persom or generation of noise levels in excess of standards estabU$hed
by the General Plan or other applicable standard, expose people to groundbome vibration, or
result in permanent increases in ambient noise levels?
Less-than-signijicant. The Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment EIR addressed
potential noise impacts of adopting and implementing the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General
Plan, which includcd the development of Emerald Glen Park. Noise related impacts were
identified in the ETR which included exposure ofresidents to inereased levels of noise from
construction of development in east Dublin.
Mitigation measure nos. 3,10/2,0 and 3.10/5.0 will mitigate or minimize construction noise
impacts to a level ofless-than-significant. However, short-term construction related noisc 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 practiccs 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
affcct thc residents in the area of the park. Therefore, noise~related impacts of the project will bc
reduced to a less-than-significant impact.
c, 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. Thercfore, the project will not expose
people in the project area to excessive noise levels.
XII. Population and Housing
a) InduCl! substantial population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly?
No Impact. Implementation ofplanncd recreational facilities will not induce additional growth in
east Dublin that has not been projected for in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan
Amendment EIR. These proposed rccreational facilities were planned well in advance to serve
residential units that have already been approved, and in some cases, already built. 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 community park on the Dublin General Plan and in
the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan for residents in the
immediate and surrounding areas of Dublin. The site is currently being developed as parkland
with Phase I having been completed and Phase II well underway. 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 the area.
EDSP Mitigation measures 3.4/20.0 through 3.4/35.0 are designed to ensure that adequate parks

Emerald Glen Park, Phase ¡¡¡ P A 05-009
rage 32
February 22, 2005
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
in the immediate area based on the 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-e) Potential impacts related to: fire protection, police protection, schools, maintenance. or solid
waste generation?
No Impact. Construction and operation of the proposed rccreational facilities will not create a
need for new public services or facilities. The Alameda County Fire Department and the Dublin
Police Department have reviewed thc project to ensure that the facility meets their criteria for
public use. An additional fire station has been built in the east Dublin area to serve the planning
area, including the area where the park is located. Additionally, the park plan has been designed in
conjunction with security criteria provided by the Police Department. The Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan, as a basis for the provision of the Emerald Glen Park at this location, included sufficient fire
safety resources to serve the projected growth and facilities in the area. Therefore, no impact
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 recrcational facilities. The project would add a much needed
recreational facility with various types of active recreational uses to the east Dublin area, thcreby
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 for the public's use.
XV. TransportationlTraffie
a-g) Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial to existing traffic load and street capacity, exceed
LOS standards for CMA roadways, change afair traffic patterns. increase traffic safety hazard,
provide for inadequate emergency vehicle acceó's, inadequate parking, provide hazard or barrier
to alternative transportation modes?
No impact. No impacts are anticipated with regard to traffic or parking for the proposed
recreational improvements. Existing and proposed roadway improvements have been designed
and sized to provide adequate transportation facilities and transit modes with sufficient capacity
for the use. Additionally, two fully improved accessways from Central Parkway serve this phase of
the park development, and provide adequate access tor emergency vehicles. No adverse impacts
related to transportation are anticipated.
Additionally, a parking study was prepared for the project phase and the future development of
City of Dublin Pago 33
Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration
Emerald Glen Park, Phase III P A 05-009 February 22, 2005
Phase 4 & 5 by Carducci & Associates, Inc. in May 2004 which analyzed the parking needs for the
phase. The parking study anticipated the parking needs for each type of recreational facility in
Phase III of the Plan and determined that 240 parking spaces would be needed to serve the phasc.
The parking lot area has been designed to accommodate the 240 parking spaces, and Phase 4 & 5
will be accommodated by another parking area when it is constructed. Therefore, no adverse
impacts relative to parking areas are anticipated.
XVI. Utilities and Se¡-yice Systems
a-g) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the R WQCB, require new or expanded water or
wastewater treatment facilities, require neW storm drain facilities, require additional water
supplies, require new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities, or require new :solid waste
faci/itie:s ?
No Impact. Since the subject site is currently vacant and within an area where urban services are
available, the construction of the proposed recreation facilities will not increase the need for
additional water services. Some service connections are anticipated prior to opeIÚng the facilities
for public use. The project was taken into consideration when the wastewater tacilities where
planned for the east Dublin area. Therefore, there would be no need for additional mitigation
measures than those already found in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment
EIR.
XV, Mandatory Findings of Significance
a) Doe:s the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of afish or wildlife species, cau-ve afish or wi/dlife population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number of or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehi:story?
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.
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 pa:st projects, the effects of other current projects
and the effects of probablefùture 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 pewits urbanized development and community
facilities. Mitigation measures are included in an approved EIR that would reduce any impacts to
less-than-significant levels.
c) Does the project have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human
