City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 75 consisted of walking the project site boundaries and adjacent areas. Findings of the general biological survey are incorporated into this analysis. • Arborist Report: A Preliminary Arborist Report was prepared in December 2022 and updated in July 2024 by McNeil Arboriculture Consultants LLC (McNeil). This report includes all such trees on the project site or immediately adjacent to neighboring properties. The purpose of this report is to identify each of these trees, describe their condition, and provide probable impacts that would occur to them as a result of the proposed demolition and construction, as well as general measures for managing and reducing impacts to trees that would be preserved, to hold impact levels to those described. The updated 2024 Arborist Report can be found in Appendix C. The project site is a semi-developed site comprised of developed and disturbed areas with supporting ruderal vegetation. Surrounding land uses include residential homes, industrial, and mixed-use developments. The project site was previously graded in 2002, creating infill mounds in the western portion of the site. Small areas of non-native annual grassland have since recolonized throughout the existing infill area. The majority of the project site continues to serve as a construction equipment storage yard. Because of the semi-developed nature and high levels of disturbance on the project site, land covers and vegetation types are limited to ruderal species within the project site. The vegetation present on-site mainly consists of non- native annual grassland and has little to no habitat value for special-status species. A summary of the existing land cover and vegetation present on-site is further discussed below. Land Cover and Vegetation The project site supports two habitat types, developed and non-native annual grassland. The habitat type and a description of the plant species present within the habitat type are provided below. Developed The majority of the project site consists of developed land. Developed land is characterized by permanent or semi-permanent structures, pavement or hardscape, and landscaped areas that often require irrigation. Developed areas are typically unvegetated or landscaped with a variety of ornamental (usually non-native) plants. The developed portions of the project site include the eastern portion of the site and compacted internal dirt roads. This
