City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />202 <br />hills to the west by Foothill Road, the project site would not be prone to <br />wildfires. <br />The proposed project would comply with the City, County, and the LPFD <br />plans, policies, actions, and ordinances in place to reduce the risks <br />associated with wildfires. The proposed project would be required to comply <br />with the Public Safety Element of the General Plan Policy 8, which requires <br />that an adequate level of fire equipment and personal to be provided to the <br />community, Policy 12, which requires that all new development to upgrade <br />the level of fire resistivity, and Policy 13, which requires fire mitigation <br />measures in new and existing developments that reduce the fire threat to the <br />structure and occupants. Additionally, Policy 13 also requires development <br />outside the five-minute travel time and in Special Fire Protection Areas to <br />provide effective fire prevention measures. <br />Further, continued implementation of the Tri-Valley LHMP and review of <br />architectural and development plans by the LPFD would assist in protecting <br />life and property in the event of a wildfire. The degree of wildland fire hazard <br />would not substantially change with the implementation of this project, and <br />current hazards would not be significantly increased. In addition, the <br />proposed project would be consistent with all Municipal Code ordinances <br />relating to Fire Safety and the California Fire Code. Therefore, impacts under <br />this topic would be less than significant. <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 />c) Infrastructure that Exacerbates Fire Risk <br />Would the project: If located in or near State Responsibility Areas or lands classified as <br />Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, require the installation or <br />maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel <br />breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that <br />may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing <br />impacts to the environment? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that new development in the <br />areas identified as VHFHSZ could expose people or structures to wildfire <br />spread. As described in Impact XIX(b) above, most of the Planning Area is
