City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project Environmental Checklist and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Environmental Evaluation FirstCarbon Solutions 139 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480024/ISMND/wp/21480024 10x Genomics Project Full Screencheck ISMND.docx special fire protection area as mapped by the General Plan.124 Additionally, the proposed project would be designed in a manner consistent with California Building Standard Codes and applicable provisions of the California Fire Code with regard to fire and emergency access and types of building materials, and the proposed project would be reviewed by the LPFD prior to approval. Therefore, the proposed project would not exacerbate wildfire risks. No impact would occur. c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? Less than significant impact. The proposed project would not require the installation of infrastructure that may exacerbate fire risk or result in environmental impacts because the project site is currently developed and is not in an area that is at risk of wildfire as mapped by CAL FIRE 125 or the General Plan.126 The design of the proposed project and associated infrastructure would be consistent with California Building Standard Codes and applicable provisions of the California Fire Code with regard to fire and emergency access and building materials. Therefore, impacts related to infrastructure that could exacerbate fire risk would be less than significant. d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? No impact. As previously discussed, the project site is relatively flat and level and is not located near slopes. The site is surrounded by developed urban lands, which would not cause drainage changes or slope instability in the event of fire. Because the General Plan indicates that the site is outside of the special fire protection area, the proposed project would not likely be subject to exposure of fire or floods. Furthermore, the proposed project is located outside of the FEMA FIRM 100-year and 500- year flood hazard zones.127 Therefore, the proposed project would not be subject to flooding hazards. Compliance with the applicable State and local plans and regulations, including the California Building Code and California Fire Code, would ensure that the project is not at risk of impacts related to fire hazards. Therefore, no impact would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. 124 City of Pleasanton. 2009.
