City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />170 <br />Additionally, the Pleasanton Public Library has indicated that they would <br />have the capacity to serve the proposed project and determined that the <br />proposed project would have a less than significant impact on the library <br />services. <br />Further, the proposed project would be required to pay capital facilities fees <br />as outlined in Municipal Code Chapter 3.22. Through the capital facilities fee, <br />developers would be responsible for payment of any improvements needed, <br />including the need for new facilities, which would effectively mitigate any <br />increased demand for services associated with the Housing Element Update. <br />The proposed project would be constructed in accordance with applicable <br />General Plan policies and programs, and all project applications would be <br />subject to City review and approval. Therefore, there are no environmental <br />effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. Environmental impacts <br />would be avoided through the imposition of uniformly applied development <br />policies or standards. The proposed project would not result in a new or more <br />severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing <br />Element Update FEIR. <br />e) Need for New or Altered Other Public Facilities <br />Would the project: Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the <br />provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need <br />for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the <br />construction of which could cause significant environmental <br />impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response <br />times or other performance objectives for other public services? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that as demand for other public <br />facilities increases from development consistent with the Housing Element <br />Update, there may be an additional need to increase staffing and <br />equipment to maintain acceptable service ratios and other performance <br />objectives for these other public facilities. However, this would require existing <br />public facilities to be able to accommodate the additional staff and/or <br />equipment. If an existing public facility is at capacity for staffing, this could <br />require an expansion of an existing public facility or construction of a new <br />public facility, the construction of which could cause environmental impacts. <br />The project-specific environmental impacts of constructing new or expanded <br />other public facilities to support the growth associated with the Housing <br />Element Update could not be determined at the time the Housing Element
