City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Environmental Checklist Initial Study/Consistency Checklist 144 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 because of the semi-rural character of the Happy Valley Area and the availability of both private and municipal open space associated with the homes in this area. Additionally, the payment of in lieu park development fees was determined to ensure that impacts are less than significant.37 The 1998 HVSP FEIR determined that there would be no significant impacts on recreation and parks and that no mitigation measures are required. The California Department of Parks and Recreation, East Bay Regional Park District, and City of Pleasanton provide various parks, trails, and community facilities for public use throughout the City. City park standards are established in the City’s 2025 General Plan. Specifically, Program 10.18 of the General Plan aims to achieve a level of park facilities equal to 5 acres per 1,000 population or 0.005 acre per person. As noted above, the City currently provides approximately 5.1 acres of improved neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 residents. The City maintains 40 community and neighborhood parks, approximately 24 miles of trails, and over 800 acres of undeveloped open space. Based on projected population growth and subsequent buildout, the General Plan estimates the ratio of park facilities to population to increase to 0.008 acre per person or 5.8 acres per 1,000 population. The development of 22 single-family residential units with 22 ADUs would be expected to result in a population increase of approximately 110 people based on a conservative estimate of three persons per household for the primary single-family units, rounding up from the average City of Pleasanton household size of 2.81 persons per household 38; and adding a very conservative estimate of 2 persons per ADU. The future development of planned parks within the City, would be funded in part by the project’s Capital Facility Fee and so would not affect the City’s ability to maintain its parkland ratio. The proposed project would contribute on-site open space for use by the residents of the project. Because the new residents would utilize the proposed project’s on-site open space and trails, and new connections to the regional trail system, the proposed project would not result in the need for construction of new or expanded existing park facilities. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects and would not result in new or more severe impacts related to parks beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. Other public facilities, such as libraries, were not analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. No determination was made in the 1998 HVSP FEIR regarding the level of significance related to other public facilities. The City of Pleasanton provides public library services to its residents. The Pleasanton Library encompasses 30,000 square feet. The General Plan includes the Pleasanton Public Library Space Needs Assessment (2004) report which documented the need for approximately 72,800 square feet of space to meet the long-term library service needs of its residents. The proposed project has the potential to generate 110 new residents to the City, a nominal increase when compared with the existing population of 67,600 that was evaluated in the General Plan as being served by the City’s library system. As noted above, the proposed project would follow provisions of both the HVSP and the City’s General Plan. As a result, the project’s generation of 37 The Park Dedication Fee, which was in effect in 1998 when the HVSP FEIR was adopted, has subsequently been subsumed within the Capital Facility Fee per Resolution 18-1047. 38 United States Census Bureau. 2021.
