City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 197 <br />Environmental Issue <br />Area <br />Housing <br />Element <br />Update FEIR <br />Determination <br />Effect Peculiar <br />to Project or <br />Site <br />New Significant <br />Effect <br />New <br />Significant <br />Off-site <br />Cumulative <br />Impact? <br />New <br />Information, <br />More Severe <br />Adverse <br />Impact? <br />flooding or <br />landslides, as a <br />result of runoff, <br />post-fire slope <br />instability, or <br />drainage <br />changes? <br /> <br />a) Emergency Response/Evacuation Plan Consistency <br />Would the project: If located in or near State Responsibility Areas or lands classified as <br />Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, substantially impair an <br />adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation <br />plan? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that portions of the Planning <br />Area and Site 22 (Merritt) are within an SRA or a VHFHSZ in a local, State, or <br />Federal Responsibility Area (FRA) (See Exhibit 3.8-3 in the Housing Element <br />Update Draft EIR). Therefore, development consistent with the Housing <br />Element Update could result in new residential units within an SRA or VHFHSZ. <br />Therefore, development consistent with the Housing Element Update could <br />affect adopted emergency response plans or emergency evacuation plans. <br />During construction, projects would be required to comply with applicable <br />regulations regarding circulation. As determined by the City, larger projects <br />could be required to prepare and implement a construction traffic <br />control/traffic management plan to ensure adequate traffic flow and to <br />keep key routes open during construction. In addition, individual projects <br />would be required to pay all applicable local and regional transportation <br />impact fees to fund the construction of planned roadway improvements in <br />the area as determined at the time of application. As most of the <br />development consistent with the Housing Element Update would occur as <br />redevelopment within the urbanized areas of the City, outside of an SRA, at <br />operation, the development consistent with the Housing Element Update <br />would not materially overburden any designated evacuation routes nor <br />substantially impair any emergency response plans or emergency <br />evacuation plans.
