City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Environmental Checklist Initial Study/Consistency Checklist 170 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 According to the CAL FIRE Hazard Severity Zone maps, the project site is not within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone in the Local Responsibility Area (LRA).63 However, the project site is located in the Moderate to High Fire Hazard Zones in the SRA.64 The City of Pleasanton has in place several emergency plans regarding public safety and emergency evacuations, including the General Plan Safety Element, EMP, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The EMP provides safety measures for the community in the event of a natural disaster (earthquake, flood, or fire), human-caused emergencies, or hazardous materials spill. The EMP provides a framework for coordination of response and recovery efforts within the City in coordination with local, State, and federal agencies. The City General Plan Safety Element also provides information, policies, and programs directed toward reducing the potential for human injury and loss of life, and to minimize property damage and economic and social disruption due to natural and human-made hazards. The proposed project would not conflict with any emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Alameda County Emergency Operations Plan, Pleasanton Emergency Management Plan, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the Safety Element of the 2025 General Plan do not list emergency evacuation routes. I-680 would be the most likely evacuation route to be used in the case of an emergency. The Safety Element of the General Plan and the Emergency Operations Plan has emergency preparedness policies and plans in case an emergency takes place. The proposed project would not interfere with evacuation along these routes or otherwise conflict with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. 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. 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. The Building Code, Chapter 20.08, provides minimum standards for design, construction, materials, occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings within the City. The 2016 Pleasanton Fire Code regulates how a building is used, how machines and equipment are maintained, how hazardous materials are handled and stored, and how access to and from a site is provided. The Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 19.36, establishes standards for roadway dimensions, subdivision layout, and public improvements needed to protect public safety. In addition, all new developments are reviewed by City departments for their potential effects on public safety, and conditions are attached to minimize those effects and inspections are conducted to ensure proper installation. Developments located outside the 5-minute travel time areas are required to provide additional fire mitigation measures, which include, at a minimum, automatic fire sprinkler systems, pursuant to 63 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). 2008.
