City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 127 Operational GHG Emissions To assess operational-related GHG emissions and their potential to cause a significant impact, the proposed project is analyzed for its consistency with the City’s CAP 2.0. As shown in the proposed project’s CAP 2.0 checklist, the proposed project includes all applicable, mandatory measures required by the City’s CAP 2.0, except for a battery storage back up system for solar energy, the full number of EV parking spaces, and the full number of bicycle parking spaces. First, although the proposed project would be otherwise required to provide a battery storage back up system for the proposed solar system under CAP 2.0, the proposed project has requested and would need to obtain a waiver pursuant to the density bonus application. Although Village 4 would otherwise require 102 EV parking spaces according to the Pleasanton Municipal Code and CAP 2.0, the proposed project has requested and would need to obtain a waiver pursuant to the density bonus application and thus would meet all applicable CALGreen requirements. Additionally, the proposed project would otherwise be required to provide one short-term and one long-term bicycle parking space for every three multi-family residential units; the applicant has requested and would need to obtain a waiver pursuant to the density bonus application to provide two spaces for every 50 units instead. As such, the proposed project would be consistent with all applicable, mandatory requirements of the CAP 2.0. Therefore, the proposed project is also consistent with the Housing Element Update FEIR, which meets the requirements of Criterion B of BAAQMD’s 2022 CEQA Thresholds of Significance. In regard to demonstrating project consistency with applicable GHG plans, the proposed project must be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy (Threshold B) or meet the minimum project design elements recommended by BAAQMD (Threshold A). Threshold B is being applied to the analysis of this project as the City has adopted a qualified CAP that includes a CAP Consistency Checklist. The City has a CAP, Housing Element Update, and enforces its building codes, all of which aim to reduce GHG emissions. Therefore, if individual projects conform to the CAP 2.0 and Housing Element Update, they would not conflict with local plans, policies, or regulations applicable to GHG emissions. Further, the Housing Element Update was shown to be consistent with the applicable measures and actions of the CAP 2.0. As shown above, the proposed project is consistent with the Housing Element Update and CAP 2.0. The proposed project would also be constructed in conformance with at
