City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 53 local general plans. Land use planning affects vehicle travel, which in turn affects region-wide emissions of air pollutants and GHGs. The 2017 Clean Air Plan, adopted by BAAQMD in April 2017, includes control measures that are intended to reduce air pollutant emissions in the Bay Area either directly or indirectly. Plans must show consistency with the control measures listed within the Clean Air Plan. The Housing Element Update FEIR includes mitigation measures that would ensure that certain Clean Air Plan measures are properly implemented so that some projects developed under the Housing Element Update would not have significant air quality impacts. MM AIR-1 would reduce construction period emissions by requiring individual projects to incorporate Basic Construction Mitigation Measures recommended by BAAQMD or additional construction mitigation measures if the BAAQMD Thresholds of Significance are exceeded. MM AIR-2 would be required to ensure that future development would result in less than significant impacts related to exposing sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The proposed project is consistent with the Housing Element Update FEIR and, therefore, would not conflict with the latest Clean Air planning efforts. Additionally, the proposed project would have construction and operational emissions below the BAAQMD thresholds as demonstrated below. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. b) Cumulative Criteria Pollutant Emissions Impacts Would the project: Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard? Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that future development facilitated by the Housing Element Update would result in short-term construction-related criteria pollutant emissions that have the potential to have an adverse effect on air quality. As the SFBAAB is currently designated as a nonattainment area for particulate matter, and considering that the BAAQMD’s recommended significance threshold for construction fugitive
