City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />140 <br />City of Pleasanton General Plan, PUD, and Specific Plan Consistency <br />General Plan <br />The Housing Element FEIR notes that development on most of the rezoned <br />sites would require a General Plan Amendment and some sites require further <br />action. <br />The Housing Element General Plan Amendments and other actions were <br />consistent with widely accepted planning principles of facilitating logical <br />and orderly growth, ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses, and <br />ensuring internal consistency among the goals and policies of the General <br />Plan. As the City receives development applications for subsequent <br />development consistent with the Housing Element Update, those <br />applications are reviewed by the City for compliance with the goals, policies, <br />and programs of the General Plan and other applicable provisions such that <br />impacts would be less than significant. <br />Zoning <br />The Housing Element Update includes policies and programs that are meant <br />to ensure logical and orderly development and require discretionary review <br />consistent with the Pleasanton Zoning Ordinance. Moreover, as the City <br />receives development applications for development consistent with the <br />Housing Element Update, those applications are reviewed by the City for <br />compliance with the goals, policies, and programs of the Municipal Code <br />such that impacts would be less than significant. <br />Annexation <br />Site 22 (Merritt) is just outside of the City limits but within Pleasanton’s SOI and <br />UGB. Prior to development on Site 22 (Merritt), it needs to be annexed into <br />the City of Pleasanton, consistent with City and LAFCo policies as well as <br />Program 1.10 of the Housing Element. Annexation of Site 22 (Merritt) would <br />represent a logical and orderly extension of urban growth and the City’s <br />boundaries, which would ensure that Site 22 (Merritt) would be developed in <br />a comprehensive and thoughtful manner consistent with other nearby lands. <br />Moreover, as the City processes development applications consistent with <br />the Housing Element Update for Site 22 (Merritt), these applications are <br />reviewed by the City for compliance with the goals, policies, and programs <br />of the General Plan and Municipal Code. Furthermore, LAFCo would review <br />the development applications for this Site 22 (Merritt) to ensure consistency <br />with LAFCo policies, and impacts would be less than significant.
