City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />142 <br />density residential to the south, and medium density homes to the north. The <br />proposed project would result in the development of residential units that <br />would be compatible with development to the north and south. Therefore, <br />the proposed project would not physically divide an established community. <br />Additionally, Site 22 (Merritt) has a General Plan designation of Housing <br />Element Overlay and was anticipated to be developed with up to 93 units in <br />the Housing Element Update. The proposed project consists of 110 new senior <br />age-restricted units, which includes 18 density bonus units, and the retention <br />of one existing unit. Because the 110 new age-restricted units are likely to <br />have fewer persons per household (estimated as two persons per household <br />according to the City Housing Manager), it is not anticipated that the <br />proposed project’s population would be larger than studied for Site 22 <br />(Merritt) in the Housing Element Update FEIR even with the density bonus. <br />Although the proposed project contains more units than analyzed within the <br />Housing Element Update FEIR, the proposed project is requesting approval <br />pursuant to the State Density Bonus Law (Government Code § 65915), which <br />allows for measured increases in density beyond the allowed limits for the <br />development of senior housing units. Because the residents of the proposed <br />project would be age-restricted to seniors, in accordance with Government <br />Code 65915, the proposed project includes a 20 percent density bonus. <br />Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with the density allowed <br />for the project site. <br />Further, the proposed project has been designed to be consistent with <br />existing General Plan, the Housing Element, and the Pre-zoned PUD-LDR/HOZ <br />Districts . Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to <br />the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or <br />more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing <br />Element Update FEIR. <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to Land Use and Planning, the Consistency Checklist <br />demonstrates that: <br />1. No peculiar impacts related to the proposed project or its site that were <br />not analyzed as significant effects in the Housing Element Update FEIR <br />have been identified. <br />2. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts <br />which were not analyzed in the Housing Element Update FEIR.
