DRAFT NEGATIVE DECLARATION ~X~ ":~'~ ~i~
The following proposed project has been reviewed by the City of
Danville for the purpose of determining the likelihood of a
significant adverse environmental impact occurring upon the
project being carried out.
Name of Project: Ch~m~lin m CQtton neve]opmgnt Company
Project Number: GPA-84-4
Location of Project: 95 ~na 50 La,,re] Drive

There is a request for a General Plan Amendment changing the
designation of the property from Multiple Family Residential
Medium Density, 13-21 units per acre to Limited Office. The
applicant proposes the construction of professional (excluding
medical) offices. The property is comprised of two lots of

Mitigation measures included in the project to avoid potentially
significant impacts:
Development of the property for office uses will result in
removal of land now designated for Multiple Family Residential on
the General Plan. Total unit loss is in the area of 13-21
multiple units. Project site is located within transitional
area, across from anticipated commercial and office development
on the Charlotte Wood school site. Conversion of the site to
Limited Office may result in pressures for land use changes on
adjacent single family residences planned for multiple
residential.
Site is located adjacent to the 1-680 freeway corridor;
mitigation of high noise levels should be addressed at the time
of plan submittal. Project design shall include landscape
buffering to residential, screening parking areas, and siting of
buildings to reduc blocking of views and st Jew effects on
adjacent residences. Architectural compatibility with
~-~ ~ ~X~gp~n~ in thQ area shall be considered.
this proposal. Water and sewer are available to the site,
although upsizing of the water meters may be required. The site
is easily accessible ~o Fire Department vehicles; fire flows and
mains are considered adequate. An additional fire hydrant may be
required at the time of development. Project subject to all
requirements of Fire District Ordinance 4, which requires all new
commercial development to be fully sprinklered and to have an
approved Central Station supervised sprinkler system. The Police
Department recommends the installation of pre-streamlined alarm
systems to reduce the false alarm rate of all office and
commercial developments.
Project can be expected to generate 80± employees within area and
attendant peak hour traffic. Site specific traffic impacts may
need to be addressed at the time of development plan submittal to
address the cumulative effects of increased traffic generated by
this and other projects and impact of possible Laurel Drive
extension through the Charlotte Wood school site.
Temporary construction impacts, such as noise and dust, may be
mitigated by limiting construction hours of operation and
watering of the site during construction.
Fiscal impacts of office development may be addressed at the time
of plan submittal.
