City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Environmental Checklist Initial Study/Consistency Checklist 114 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx As discussed in greater detail in Section 4.20, Wildfire, over 7,000 acres of the Pleasanton planning area are identified as special fire protection areas. Grassland fires in California are easily ignited, particularly in dry seasons. Wildfire is a serious hazard in undeveloped areas, particularly near areas of natural vegetation and steep slopes since fires tend to burn more rapidly on steeper terrain. As indicated in the General Plan, the project site is located in Happy Valley, which contracts with the City of Pleasanton for Fire Protection.27 According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps, the project site is within a Moderate to High Fire Hazard Zones in the State Responsibility Area (SRA).28 As indicated in Section 3.10, Public Services, the proposed project would be adequately served by the Pleasanton-Livermore Fire Protection District’s Fire Station 4, which is located northwest of the project site. As discussed previously, the proposed residences would incorporate tile or other fire- resistant roofing to minimize the spread of fire, pursuant to MM 01 and MM 02 (see Section 4.16, Public Services). In addition, proposed residences would be required to comply with the California Fire Code with regard to access and building materials. Adherence to the Public Resource Code Section 4291 (providing defensible space around buildings and restriction of fire-prone plant materials and flammable mulches) would reduce the risk of damage from fire to the maximum extent practicable. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects and would not result in new or more severe impacts related to wildland fires beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. FEIR Mitigation Measures MM I1 Completion of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment by a qualified environmental professional in accordance with the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM 1997) is required. Timing: Prior to approval of grading permits for the Golf Course and Spotorno properties. MM I6 Preparation of a Spill and Pollution Prevention Plan must be prepared by the contractor(s) for each development project with soil disturbance (e.g., grading) of at least 5.0 acres. The Plan must (1) be prepared prior to the start of earthwork activities, (2) designate an on-site employee responsible for Plan implementation, and (3) include anticipated equipment needs and maintenance, emergency response procedures for hazardous materials releases, and procedures for contacting designated regulatory agencies in the event of a hazardous materials release. Timing: Plan preparation prior to issuance of a grading permit; plan implementation during earthwork and construction activities. 27 City of Pleasanton. 2013.
