ITEM 23 ATTACHMENT 1 - CEQA Checklist

City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 123 The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that, with adherence to the procedures of the Tri-Valley LHMP and the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not conflict with an adopted emergency response plan. In addition, development consistent with the Housing Element Update would comply with applicable plans and regulations including the Alameda County Disaster Plan and General Plan goals. Compliance with existing applicable local, State, and federal regulatory requirements related to emergency response and evacuation and policies would ensure consistency with emergency preparedness plans and ensure impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Emergency vehicles entering and exiting the project site would utilize three potential emergency access routes as identified on the site plans (Exhibit 6). Two emergency access routes would be provided along the northern boundary of the project site, and one would be provided along the southern boundary. The proposed internal street network would be designed to accommodate the turning radius of emergency vehicles, such as large fire trucks. The proposed project would be required to comply with applicable goals and policies from the Public Safety Element of the General Plan. In addition, the proposed project would not interfere with guidelines set forth in the Pleasanton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and the Alameda County Disaster Plan. The proposed project would undergo review by the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) to ensure adequate emergency access. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. g) Wildland Fires Would the project: Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
