City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Introduction 1 SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION This Consistency Checklist and attached supporting materials have been prepared to determine and document whether and to what extent the City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse [SCH] No. 2022040091), including all appendices attached thereto (Housing Element Update Final EIR [FEIR]), addresses the potential impacts of the proposed Villages at the Quarry Project (proposed project) and whether the proposed project qualifies for a mandatory streamlining exemption from additional environmental review due to its consistency with the development density and land use characteristics established by the City as required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC], § 21000, et seq. and California Code of Regulations [CCR], Title 6, Chapter 3, §15000 et seq.).

This document will be referred to as the Housing Element Update FEIR throughout this Consistency Checklist.

Because the Housing Element Update FEIR analyzed all 25 sites, some of those sites are referred to in the discussion below even though they are not included in the
