City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 149 <br />measures, and identification of maintenance responsibilities, as well as non- <br />stormwater management controls. <br />In addition, compliance with applicable Municipal Code requirements, as <br />well as goals, policies, and programs included as part of the General Plan, <br />would reduce potential soil erosion and loss of topsoil from construction- <br />related soil disturbance. <br />Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any environmental effects <br />that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not <br />result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously <br />identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. <br />(ii) substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would <br />result in flooding on- or off-site; <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that future development <br />consistent with the Housing Element Update could increase the total <br />impervious area within the City and increase stormwater runoff, which could <br />result in flooding. <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that compliance with existing <br />regulations, the policies and actions included in the General Plan, and <br />adherence to the Municipal Code would maximize infiltration and rainwater <br />retention, which would in turn reduce stormwater runoff. Additionally, all <br />future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be <br />evaluated on a project-by-project basis to ensure that there are no <br />significant impacts related to surface runoff and flooding. Further, new <br />development would be required to pay its fair share of the flood control <br />improvement costs. Therefore, impacts related to surface water and flooding <br />would be less than significant. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />As discussed above, the proposed project would include the addition of <br />1,348,814 square feet of new impervious surface. The addition of this <br />impervious surface could lead to an increase in the amount of surface runoff.
