City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 115 project site is within an area that has a moderate liquefaction potential. The Geotechnical Report concluded that, based on groundwater levels at the project site, the risk of liquefaction at the project site is low.9 Furthermore, the proposed project would comply with the CBC, the Municipal Code, and the General Plan, which would minimize any potential environmental effects due to liquefaction or ground failure. Therefore, development as proposed would not result in any 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. iv) Seismic-related Ground Failure, Including Landslides Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR As indicated in the Housing Element Update FEIR, Site 21 is not located within a rainfall-induced landslide hazard zone. (Refer to Housing Element Update FEIR Exhibit 3.6-5.) The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that compliance with CBC, applicable Municipal Code requirements, as well as goals, policies, and programs included as part of the General Plan would protect residents, structures, and infrastructure from potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving landslides. Therefore, it was concluded that impacts related to landslides at the programmatic level would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The Geotechnical Report does not include an analysis of landslide potential at the project site.10 According to the California Earthquake Hazards Zone Application (EQ Zapp), available through the CGS website, the project site is not within an established landslide hazard zone.11 The project site is relatively flat and has been graded with a low risk of landslides. Furthermore, the proposed project would comply with the CBC, the Municipal Code, and the General Plan, which would minimize any potential environmental effects due to landslides or ground failure. 9 ENGEO Incorporated (ENGEO). 2024.
