City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 47 <br />Hinder Implementation of AQP Control Measures <br />With regards to disruption or hinderance of the implementation of any AQP <br />control measures, the Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that the <br />Housing Element Update incorporates policies that are consistent with the <br />control measures included in the 2017 Clean Air Plan. The Housing Element <br />Update does not include any components that would disrupt or hinder <br />implementation of any control measures nor would the Housing Element <br />Update inhibit the General Plan’s policies that support the implementation of <br />AQP control measures. <br />Vehicle Miles Traveled Per Capita <br />With regards to increase in VMT, it was determined that implementation of <br />the Housing Element Update would result in a population growth which <br />outpaces forecasted VMT growth and the Housing Element Update would <br />not be considered to exceed BAAQMD-approved significance thresholds or <br />conflict with or obstruct implementation of the AQP. <br />In conclusion, overall development facilitated by the Housing Element <br />Update would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan with the <br />implementation of MM AIR-1a and MM AIR-1b, and impacts would be less <br />than significant after mitigation. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />The following summary of air quality impacts is based on the Merritt Property: <br />Air Quality Technical Report (AQTR) by Ramboll US Consulting, Inc., dated <br />May 2023 (Appendix B). <br />The AQTR concluded that the proposed project would incorporate the <br />Housing Element Update FEIR MM AIR-1a and MM AIR-1b, and the proposed <br />project would also be consistent with the BAAQMD Clean Air Plan. Therefore, <br />project-related impacts would be less than significant. Therefore, there are <br />no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The <br />proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact <br />that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. <br />b) Cumulative Criteria Pollutant Emissions Impacts <br />Would the project: Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria <br />pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an <br />applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard?
