City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Initial Study/Consistency Checklist Environmental Checklist FirstCarbon Solutions 171 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx General Plan Program 10.1. The proposed project would comply with the Building Code and Subdivision Ordinance and would be reviewed by City departments as required. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects and would not result in new or more severe impacts related to an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. b) Expose Project Occupants to Pollutant Concentrations from Wildfire Would the project: If located in or near State Responsibility Areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? This question was not included in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. No determination was made regarding the significance level of impacts related to the project’s potential to expose occupants to pollutant concentrations from wildfire. The project site is within an SRA. Additionally, according to the General Plan Safety Element, the Happy Valley Area is in a special fire protection area, defined as developments located outside the 5- minute response time areas, and is designated as areas which contract with Pleasanton for Fire Protection.65 As discussed in the previous question, the project would comply with the applicable Building Code, Fire Code, the Subdivision Ordinance, the conditions of approval pursuant to the 1998 HVSP FEIR, and with the requirements for the special fire protection area, which include providing additional fire mitigation measures such as automatic fire sprinkler systems.66 Furthermore, 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 Livermore- Pleasanton Fire Department prior to approval. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects and would not result in new or more severe impacts related to the project’s potential to expose occupants to pollutant concentrations from wildfire beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. 65 City of Pleasanton. 2013.
