City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 171 <br />Update FEIR was certified because the site-specific locations and designs of <br />future new or expanded facilities are not known. As the City proceeds with <br />the construction of new or expanded library facilities, those projects would <br />be reviewed by the City for compliance with the policies and programs of <br />the General Plan and Municipal Code. Furthermore, as the City receives <br />development applications for development consistent with the Housing <br />Element Update, those applications will be reviewed by the City for <br />compliance with the policies and programs of the General Plan to ensure <br />that other facilities keep pace with new development. In addition, <br />development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required <br />to pay capital facilities fees in accordance with Chapter 3.22 of the <br />Municipal Code. <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded the physical effects on the <br />environment from the construction of new or expanded public facilities <br />would be less than significant, and future development consistent with the <br />Housing Element Update would not result in significant adverse effects <br />related to other public facilities and impacts would be 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 other public 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 <br />smaller household size for the senior age-restricted proposed project results in <br />an increase in the population growth that had been planned for by the City <br />as forecasted in the City’s Housing Element Update. For more details, please <br />refer to Section XIV, Population and Housing, above. <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,
