City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 203 <br />not located in a VHFHSZ LRA or SRA. (See also Exhibit 3.8-3 in the Housing <br />Element Update Draft EIR.) <br />Most development consistent with the Housing Element Update is expected <br />to occur in urbanized and developed areas where existing infrastructure <br />(including utilities, highways, and roadways) are already in place. The <br />Housing Element Update would retain the existing roadway patterns. <br />The LPFD would review the installation and maintenance of fire department <br />access roadways, access walkways to and around buildings, and hydrant <br />quantity and placement as required by the California Fire Code and CBC. <br />Compliance with the CBC and General Plan policies and programs, as well <br />as review of all new structures by the LPFD, would ensure that fire risks are not <br />exacerbated. As the City receives development applications for subsequent <br />development consistent the Housing Element Update, those applications <br />would be reviewed by the City for compliance with the fire protection <br />measures identified in the General Plan, the California Fire Code, and the <br />California Public Resources Code to ensure that fire risks are not <br />exacerbated. <br />As such, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that the Housing <br />Element Update does not propose the installation and maintenance of any <br />new infrastructure that would substantially exacerbate fire risk, and 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 with the <br />easternmost portion of the site mapped as a VHFHSZ SRA. Furthermore, the <br />northern portion of the project site is mapped as a VHFHSZ LRA (Exhibit 7). <br />Additionally, the project site is in a Special Fire Protection Area as designated <br />by the General Plan. The project site is currently vacant, and the proposed <br />project would connect to existing utility lines along the edge of the project <br />site. The proposed project would be compliant with the California Fire Code <br />and the CBC. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar <br />to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or <br />more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing <br />Element Update FEIR.
