P24-0596, 0 Vineyard Avenue Zoning Administrator 10 of 14 Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq., an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), was adopted by the City of Pleasanton (City) on January 26, 2023 (City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program Final Environmental Impact Report, SCH No. 2022040091). The Consistency Checklist prepared for the proposed PUSD Vineyard Project concluded that project implementation would be consistent with the development evaluated in the EIR and further identified relevant mitigation measures from the EIR that are applicable to the project. This MMRP documents how and when the mitigation measures adopted by the Lead Agency as part of the MMRP for the EIR will be implemented for the proposed project and confirms that potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project are reduced to less than significant levels as identified in the Consistency Checklist. The Consistency Checklist is attached to this report as Exhibit C. The project is conditioned to implement the project specific mitigations. 3. Findings Pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 (No Net Loss) The proposed project would include 27 above-moderate income residential units and 27 ADUs; in comparison, the inventory of sites included in the 6th Cycle Housing Element projected this Property (listed as Area 27 in Table B-14) would provide up to 25 above- moderate income residential units. The Project would provide 27 above-moderate income residential units, which is 2 more above-moderate income units than projected. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, (Public Resources Code [PRC] § 21000, et seq.), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), was prepared and certified by the City of Pleasanton (City) on January 26, 2023 (City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program Final Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2022040091).

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
