City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />200 <br />Chapter 20.24 of the Municipal Code, which implements the California Fire <br />Code on a local level. In addition, Chapter 20.08, Chapter 20.10, Chapter <br />20.32, and Chapter 20.24, Fire Code (which adopted the California Fire <br />Code) of the Municipal Code will be reviewed when development <br />applications are received. The Tri-Valley LHMP provides recommendations <br />that have been identified for the Tri-Valley area, which would assist in <br />reducing wildfire risk for development consistent with the Housing Element <br />Update. <br />Future projects would be required to comply with fire protection measures as <br />codified within the policies and programs within the General Plan and the <br />Municipal Code. Further, continued implementation of the Tri-Valley LHMP <br />and review of architectural and development plans by the LPFD would assist <br />in protecting life and property in the event of a wildfire. The Housing Element <br />Update FEIR concluded that the degree of wildland fire hazard would not <br />substantially change with adoption of the Housing Element Update, and <br />current hazards would not be significantly increased. Therefore, impacts <br />would be less than significant. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />The southern portion of the project site is within a Moderate FHSZ SRA, while <br />the easternmost portion of the site is mapped as a VHFHSZ SRA. Additionally, <br />the northern portion of the project site is within a VHFHSZ LRA (Exhibit 7). <br />Furthermore, as identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR, the project site <br />is located in a Special Fire Protection Area as designated by the City’s <br />General Plan. <br />The project site is relatively flat with the exception of the western portion of <br />the project site. The land adjacent to the western boundary of the project <br />site across Foothill Road is primarily hilly and undeveloped. The proposed <br />project would generally maintain the existing topology and would not <br />include new or more pronounced slopes. Because of the lack of slopes on <br />the majority of the project site, slope would not be expected to present <br />significant risks related to the spread of wildfire. Further, the proposed <br />development would not occur on the areas of the project site with steep <br />slopes. <br />Daily wind speeds ranged between 17.3 and 24.2 miles per hour (mph) <br />between November 10, 2023, and November 16, 2023, as measured at
