City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 193 <br />Element Update FEIR concluded that the City’s projected water supply <br />would not be sufficient to accommodate development consistent with the <br />Housing Element Update, and that no mitigation is available that could, with <br />certainty, reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, this <br />impact would remain significant and unavoidable. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />While the City and Zone 7 have adopted a process whereby Zone 7 is <br />providing additional water supply to the City, the City continues to evaluate <br />options for additional water supplies. As explained in Section XIV, Population <br />and Housing, the proposed project would be within the total population <br />growth estimated by overall buildout of the Housing Element Update FEIR. <br />Therefore, the proposed project would not exceed the demand for potable <br />water than what was assumed in the Housing Element Update FEIR. <br />Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the <br />proposed project. 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 />d, e) Solid Waste Reduction Goals and Regulations Consistency <br />Would the project: d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in <br />excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise <br />impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals and <br /> e) Comply with federal, State, and local management and <br />reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste. <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that the solid waste generated <br />by development consistent with the Housing Element Update would <br />represent less than .05 percent of the Vasco Road Landfill’s remaining <br />capacity. <br />Compliance with General Plan policies and programs, as well as CAP 2.0 <br />strategies, would reduce the generation of solid waste. Additionally, <br />construction and demolition debris from new development would be <br />required to be recycled (Municipal Code Chapter 9.21) and organics waste <br />reduced or recycled (Municipal Code Chapter 9.23). Statewide ordinances, <br />including AB 341, AB 939, and SB 1016 require waste reduction, recycling, <br />and diversion and would also be applicable to future development.
