City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 183 <br />housing sites would be subject to review by the City and responsible <br />emergency service agencies, thus ensuring projects would be designed to <br />meet all emergency access and design standards. The City also requires the <br />preparation of construction management plans that would minimize <br />temporary obstruction of traffic during site construction. <br />Additional vehicles associated with development at the housing sites could <br />increase delays for emergency response vehicles during peak commute <br />hours. However, emergency responders maintain response plans which <br />include use of alternate routes, sirens, and other methods to bypass <br />congestion and minimize response times. In addition, California law requires <br />drivers to yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles and remain stopped <br />until the emergency vehicle passes to ensure the safe and timely passage of <br />emergency vehicles. <br />Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that adequate <br />emergency access would be provided to the housing sites, and the impact <br />would be less than significant. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />As described in question a), the proposed project would have adequate <br />vehicle circulation, including adequate circulation for large vehicles such as <br />fire trucks. The proposed project would be required to comply with <br />applicable goals and policies from the Public Safety Element of the General <br />Plan. In addition, the proposed project would not interfere with guidelines set <br />forth in the Pleasanton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and <br />Alameda County Disaster Plan. The proposed project would undergo review <br />by the LPFD to ensure adequate emergency access. Therefore, there are no <br />environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The <br />proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact <br />that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to Transportation, the Consistency Checklist 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.
