Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines Initial Study f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted I Iabitat X Conservation Plan, Natural Commun tv Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or stare habitat conservation plan? Environmental Setting The three project sites are covered with non - landscaped, ruderal (weedy) vegetation. No special status species arc found on the project sites. The three project sites contain no riparian land or wetlands; they are not a stopping point for migratory birds. The City of Pleasanton designates trees over 55 inches in circumference or more or than 35 feet in height as heritage trees subject to regulations governing their removal in the Pleasanton Municipal Code, Chapter 17.16: Tree Preservation. There may be trees along the property lines or near the sidewalk of the BRE site (Hacienda site 7E) and /or the Roche - Alolecular Systems site (a portion of Hacienda site 6) which should be evaluated at the time a development plan is reviewed. Significance Criteria The impact questions above corstitute the significance criteria for this environmental topic. Discussion of Checklist Items Less- than - Significant Impact. Adoption of the Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines would not itself result in any loss of trees. At the time a development plan is proposed for the project sites, the impacts to any existing trees and their potential significance, if any, will be considered in the project - specific environmental review. It is anticipated that any future impacts regarding tree removal would be less than significant due to mitigation requirements of the Pleasanton Municipal Code, Chapter 17.16: Tree Preservation. No Impact. The proposed project would have no impact on any special status species, riparian habitat, or migratory bird species. In addition, it would not conflict with an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan, as no such plans apply to file project sites. Less Than Potentially Significant with Less Than No Significant Mitigation Significant Impact Impact Incorporation Impact 5.
