City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 209 cumulative impacts. However, as indicated herein, the project is within the cumulative scope analyzed in the Housing Element Update FEIR, and, therefore, its contributions to the cumulative impacts were analyzed and considered. Because the proposed project is consistent with the analyses of the Housing Element Update FEIR as evidenced herein, it does not have any features that would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution different from what was disclosed and mitigated to the fullest extent possible in the Housing Element Update FEIR. Additionally, the proposed project would be consistent with the analysis contained within the Housing Element Update FEIR with respect to cumulative VMT and water supply impacts because, as discussed above, it would not create new impacts, increase impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance. c) Adverse Effects on Human Beings? Does the project: Have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that potentially significant impacts would occur related to air quality, hazardous substances, and noise. These impacts could cause substantial adverse effect on human beings. However, the Housing Element Update FEIR included MM AIR-1a, MM AIR-1b, MM HAZ-2, MM NOI-1, MM NOI-2, to ensure such impacts are reduced to less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The proposed project would be required to implement Housing Element Update FEIR MM AIR-1a and MM AIR-1b. Furthermore, per General Plan Program 2.2, the project applicant is required to incorporate all recommendations provided in the Geotechnical Investigation. The proposed project would not be required to implement MM HAZ-2, which requires preparation of a Phase I ESA, because the proposed project is designated a closed site by the RWQCB and has therefore already satisfied the requirements of MM HAZ-2. Lastly, the proposed project would not be required to implement MM NOI-1 and MM NOI-2 because impacts would be less than significant without mitigation as detailed in Section XIII, Noise, above. The requirements of MM NOI-1 have already been satisfied with the preparation of a site-specific noise analysis. With the implementation of these mitigation measures, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or
