City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 51 Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR Support Primary Goals of the Air Quality Plan The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that the current Air Quality Plan (AQP) applicable to the Housing Element Update is the 2017 Clean Air Plan. According to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) guidance, a proposed land use plan is consistent with the AQP if it would (1) support the primary goals of the AQP, (2) include applicable control measures from the AQP, (3) not disrupt or hinder implementation of any AQP control measures, and (4) the plan’s projected VMT increase must be less than or equal to its projected population growth. With regard to the primary goals of the AQP, it was determined that because of the BAAQMD’s recommended significance thresholds and that the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB) is currently in nonattainment for particulate matter standards, individual development projects facilitated by the Housing Element Update would be considered to have potentially significant site-specific or project-specific impacts related to the generation of fugitive dust during construction activities if they do not implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) targeting dust control and sediment migration. Therefore, MM AIR-1a, which would require individual development projects to employ dust control measures recommended by the BAAQMD during construction, would ensure that all future development projects facilitated by the Housing Element Update would not result in potentially significant impacts related to construction fugitive dust and contribute to the region’s current nonattainment status for PM. Furthermore, for project sites that would be located within siting distances recommended by the BAAQMD and the California Air Resources Board (ARB), currently published in the ARB Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective, or the latest available guidance as determined by the City as the lead agency, MM AIR-1b would be required. For these project sites, MM AIR-1b requires that a site-specific Health Risk Assessment (HRA) be conducted and mitigation be developed to reduce any identified significant health risk to sensitive receptors to less than significant levels. Applicable Control Measures from the AQP With regard to applicable control measures, it was determined, as outlined in Table 3.2-7 of Page 3.2-41 through 3.2-49 of the Housing Element Update FEIR, that the Housing Element Update includes the applicable control measures from the AQP. The General Plan, which the Housing Element Update
