City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />184 <br />3. No substantial new information has been identified which results in an <br />impact which is more severe than anticipated by the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR. <br />4. MM TRANS-2 from the Housing Element Update FEIR would be required <br />and would reduce potential impacts to the fullest extent feasible, <br />consistent with the analysis in the Housing Element Update FEIR. <br /> <br />Mitigation Measures <br />Housing Element Update FEIR Mitigation Measures <br />Even with incorporation of MM TRANS-2, the City may not achieve the overall <br />VMT threshold reduction level due to uncertainty in the cumulative <br />effectiveness of TDM measures as well as unknowns related to transit service <br />levels, transportation technology, and travel behavior. Moreover, these <br />policies and mitigation measures primarily apply to new developments; <br />existing land uses that have already been approved and are under <br />construction are generally not affected. Because of the programmatic <br />nature of the Housing Element Update, no additional cumulative mitigation <br />measures are available. Accordingly, the City adopted a Statement of <br />Overriding Considerations. <br />MM TRANS-2 Implement Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduction Measures <br />Prior to the issuance of certificate of occupancy, a project <br />applicant for an individual housing project development <br />proposal that does not screen out from Vehicle Miles <br />Traveled (VMT) impact analysis, as determined by a <br />qualified consultant using the methods applied in this Draft <br />Program EIR, with modifications as deemed appropriate <br />by the City (e.g., to account for project-specific <br />information and/or to reflect future updates to the <br />Alameda Countywide Travel Demand—Alameda CTC <br />Model and/or other methodologies acceptable to the <br />City), shall provide a VMT analysis using the methods <br />applied in this Draft Program EIR, with modifications as <br />deemed appropriate by the City (e.g., to account for <br />project-specific information and/or to reflect future <br />updates to the Alameda CTC Model and/or other <br />methodologies acceptable to the City), and reduce VMT
