City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />164 <br />expanded police protection facilities to support the growth anticipated as <br />part of the Housing Element Update cannot be determined at the time the <br />Housing Element Update FEIR was certified because the designs of future <br />new or expanded facilities are not known. It can be expected that <br />construction and operation of future new or expanded police protection <br />facilities would have similar impacts as would construction and operation of <br />other types of new development consistent with the Housing Element <br />Update. <br />As the City receives development applications for development consistent <br />with the Housing Element Update, those applications would be reviewed by <br />the City for compliance with the policies and programs of the General Plan <br />to ensure that police protection services keep pace with new development. <br />In addition, the Municipal Code contains rules and regulations related to <br />police services and payment of public service and development impact <br />fees. Chapter 3.22 of the Municipal Code requires that development projects <br />pay capital facilities fee apportioned to the cost of the necessary public <br />improvements associated with each development within the City. <br />Specifically, through the capital facilities fee the developer would be <br />responsible for any capital improvements needed for police protection <br />services, which would effectively mitigate any increased demand for services <br />associated with development consistent with the Housing Element Update. <br />Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded future development <br />consistent with the Housing Element Update would not result in significant <br />adverse effects related to police protection services and impacts would be <br />less than significant. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />The proposed project would develop 110 new dwelling units, a recreation <br />center, and a mini park. The proposed project would also retain one existing <br />single-family residence and would result in the development of a trail <br />connection to the Marilyn Murphy Kane Trail. As a conservative assumption, <br />FCS assumes that all project residents would relocate from outside of the City, <br />and the proposed project would result in a population increase of <br />approximately 220 persons, based on the City Housing Manager’s estimate of <br />two persons per household in this senior age-restricted proposed project. This <br />increase in population can reasonably be expected to produce an increase <br />in demand for police protection services. <br />Although the proposed project would include more units for the project site <br />than analyzed and predicted within the Housing Element Update FEIR, the
