City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 33 <br />SECTION 4: CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST <br />Public Resources Code Section 21083.3(d) states that: <br />An effect of a project upon the environment shall not be considered <br />peculiar to the parcel or to the project, for purposes of this section, if <br />uniformly applied development policies or standards have been <br />previously adopted by the city or county, with a finding based upon <br />substantial evidence, which need not include an environmental impact <br />report, that the development policies or standards will substantially <br />mitigate that environmental effect when applied to future projects, <br />unless substantial new information shows that the policies or standards <br />will not substantially mitigate the environmental effect. <br />CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b) states that: <br />In approving a project meeting the requirements of this section, a <br />public agency shall limit its examination of environmental effects to <br />those which the agency determines, in an initial study or other analysis: <br />(1) Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project <br />would be located; <br />(2) Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior FEIR on the <br />zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which <br />the project is consistent; <br />(3) Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative <br />impacts which were not discussed in the prior FEIR prepared <br />for the general plan, community plan or zoning action, or <br />(4) Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result <br />of substantial new information which was not known at the <br />time the FEIR was certified, are determined to have a more <br />severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior FEIR. <br /> <br />The following pages of this document contain a Consistency Checklist that <br />examines the proposed project’s potential environmental effects within the <br />parameters outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b). The “Prior FEIR” <br />used for comparison is the Housing Element Update FEIR certified by the City <br />of Pleasanton on January 23, 2023, including all impact determinations and <br />significance thresholds utilized therein.
