City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 191 redevelopment such as would occur consistent with the Housing Element Update. As such, the potential for increased wastewater generation and its need for transmission has been and would continue to be planned for by the City. Furthermore, existing and future collection systems and treatment plants would comply with federal, State, and local regulations regulating wastewater collection and discharge. Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that while development consistent with the Housing Element Update would result in an increase in the demand for wastewater collection and treatment, the wastewater collection systems and treatment plants have sufficient capacity to support new development within the service area and the City’s sewer connection fees would ensure impacts are less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The proposed project would connect to existing water and sewer lines in Foothill Road and Eastwood Way. Water service would be provided by the City, and sewer service would be provided by the DSRSD. The proposed project site slopes to the southeast corner of the property, where a storm drain inlet carries the stormwater drainage into the stormwater system under I-680. Additionally, an open channel ditch along the southern edge of the property carries off-site water that flows from the hills west of Foothill Road, into pipes under Foothill Road and down Puri Court, into a drainage structure at the northern end of the ditch. Off-site stormwater runoff from Puri Court and Foothill Road would be conveyed through the site in a separate storm drain bypass system. Stormwater runoff would be collected and directed toward an underground storm system, then stored and metered out of a proposed detention basin to be located at the eastern end of the project site. As explained in Section XIV, Population and Housing, the proposed project would be within the total population growth estimated by overall buildout of the Housing Element Update FEIR. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in an increase in demand for utilities that was not already assumed in the Housing Element Update FEIR. Furthermore, the proposed project would not require any expansion of utilities infrastructure that was not already assumed in the Housing Element Update FEIR. The proposed project would be required to comply with all General Plan and CAP 2.0 goals and policies and CALGreen and California Plumbing Codes and would also be required to pay all applicable development impact fees
