City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 83 Implementation of these goals, policies, programs, requirements, and MM BIO-1 would reduce potential impacts to less than significant. Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not result in significant adverse effects to riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities, and impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The analysis under the Housing Element Update FEIR remains consistent with the proposed project. As discussed above, the project site supports two habitat types containing developed and non-native annual grassland (see descriptions above). Based on the most recent site plan (Exhibit 5), the proposed project would result in permanent impacts of 9.2 acres on non-native annual grassland. However, no sensitive natural communities or riparian habitat were observed on-site during the April 2024 survey conducted by FCS. Therefore, development of the project site would not result in adverse effects related to sensitive natural communities or riparian habitat. The proposed project would not result in any significant 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. c) State or Federally Protected Waters and Wetlands Would the project: Have a substantial adverse effect on State or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that wetlands are found throughout the Planning Area and could be within the rezoned housing sites. Therefore, individual development projects consistent with the Housing Element Update could result in impacts to State and federally protected waters and wetlands. Although subsequent projects may impact protected wetlands, the regulatory process that is established through Section 404 of the CWA would ensure that there is “no net loss” of protected wetlands. Section 401 of the CWA (33 United States Code [USC] § 1341) requires an applicant who is seeking a 404 permit to also obtain a water quality certification from the
