City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 77 USFWS, Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) system, and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Electronic Inventory (CNPSEI) of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California database for the Livermore, California United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle Map and the eight surrounding quadrangles. All species information gathered through the database searches was evaluated and synthesized, and the relevant information is provided in the Special-status Species Occurrence Evaluation (Appendix C). Of the 43 special-status plant species analyzed in the CNDDB/CNPS database review, no special-status plant species have the potential to occur on-site based on present habitat types and the long-term use of the site as a storage yard. The project site does not contain rhyolitic, sandy, or alkaline soils to support special-status plant species. There is no suitable habitat to support special-status plant species, such as coastal scrub, coastal prairie, closed-cone coniferous forest, North Coast coniferous forest, lower montane coniferous forest, chaparral, meadows, seeps, marshes, swamps, or vernal pools. A comprehensive list of special-status plant species with the potential to occur within and/or adjacent to the project site and their habitat types are referenced in Table 1: Special-status Plant Species Evaluation Table (Appendix C). No special-status species or suitable habitat were observed during the April 2024 field survey. The analysis under the FEIR remains consistent with respect to the proposed project. A project-specific BRA has already been completed in compliance with the Housing Element Update FEIR MM BIO-1, and no special-status plants were observed or found to have the potential to occur. Accordingly, no impacts to special-status plant species would occur. Special-status Wildlife Species Qualified FCS Biologists conducted a survey for sensitive biological resources on the site in April 2024. Additionally, a review and analysis of relevant background publications and natural resource databases was conducted. Specifically, this included an analysis of all entries of the CDFW, USFWS, and IPaC system for the Livermore, California, USGS 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle Map and the eight surrounding quadrangles. All species information gathered through the database searches was evaluated and synthesized, and the relevant information is provided in the Special-status Species Occurrence Evaluation (Appendix C).
