Tract 8724, 0 Vineyard Avenue Planning Commission Page 5 of 11 The Vesting Tentative Map and improvements conform to the Housing Site Compliance Review development plan (P24-0596) approved by the Zoning Administrator, which in turn was determined to be consistent with the General Plan land use designation for this site, as established in the 2023-2031 6th Cycle Housing Element. The map and improvements thus meet this finding. 2. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. As approved and conditioned in the Housing Site Compliance Review development plan, the homes in the project will comply with the City’s residential Green Building Ordinance, Climate Action Plan 2.0, and the State’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, and would be required to incorporate a series of renewable energy design and energy efficiency features. For this development, the homes will exceed Title 24 state energy conservation requirements and have humidity control systems installed. 3. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map, together with its design and improvement, is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan. P24-0596 was found to be consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan and Vesting Tentative Map 8724 was submitted based on the approved development. The proposed subdivision and its improvements are compatible with the applicable objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan. 4. The subdivision site is physically suitable for this type and density of development. The property is not in a flood zone or earthquake fault zone and is relatively flat. Project construction would involve minimal site grading and alteration of existing topography. Thus, the project site is physically suitable for the proposed development. 5. The design of the subdivision and improvements covered by the proposed vesting tentative subdivision map will not cause substantial environmental damage and avoidably injure fish and/or wildlife or their habitat. As part of the Housing Site Compliance Review application, the City found no potential for significant environmental effects through the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program EIR CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist for the project. P24-0596 includes conditions that require best management practices to be incorporated before and during construction to minimize impacts to groundwater and surface water quality.
