Tract 8724, 0 Vineyard Avenue Planning Commission Page 7 of 11 on January 26, 2023, (City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program Final Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2022040091 ). A Consistency Checklist has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning) to determine whether the proposed project requires additional environmental review. The Consistency Checklist is attached to this report as Attachment C. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 mandates that projects consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an FEIR was certified (in this case the Housing Element Update FEIR) shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects peculiar to the project or its site. Section 15183 specifies that examination of environmental effects shall be limited to those effects that: (1) are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located, and were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent, (2) are potentially significant off -site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, or (3) are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR. Section 15183(c) further specifies that if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the proposed project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development p olicies or standards, then an additional EIR need not be prepared for that project solely on the basis of that impact. As illustrated by the attached Consistency Checklist, the proposed project is found to be in conformance with the analysis and conclusions of the Housing Element Update FEIR. This determination is based on the following criteria: 1. There are no new significant effects peculiar to the proposed project or its site; 2. There are no new significant effects that were not previously evaluated in the Housing Element Update FEIR; 3. There are no new significant off-site or cumulative impacts that were not analyzed in the Element Update FEIR, and 4. There are no adverse impacts that are more severe than those previously identified in the Element Update FEIR. The following mitigation measures identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR are applicable to the proposed project, as described in each environmental topic: • MM AIR-1a: Prior to the issuance of a grading or building permit, whichever is sooner, the project applicant for a potential site for rezoning shall submit an air quality construction plan detailing the proposed air quality construction measures related to the project such as construction phasing, construction equipment, and dust control
