City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 187 New student population could also have the potential to cause the need for new or expanded school facilities. As the demand for school services increases from development consistent with the Housing Element Update, there may be a need to increase staffing, facilities, and equipment to maintain acceptable service ratios and other performance objectives for schools. However, this would require existing school sites to be able to accommodate the additional staff, facilities and/or equipment. If an existing school site is at capacity for staffing or for students, this could require an expansion of an existing school site or construction of a new school site, the construction of which could cause environmental impacts. The project- specific environmental impacts of constructing new or expanded school facilities to support the growth anticipated as part of the Housing Element Update could not be determined at the time the Housing Element Update FEIR was certified because the site-specific locations and designs of future new or expanded facilities are not known. It can be expected that construction and operation of future new or expanded school facilities would have similar impacts as would construction and operation of other types of new development under the Housing Element Update. Further, PUSD would be required to receive approval from the Division of the State Architect and complete any required CEQA review for construction of new or expanded school facilities. As noted above, the payment of statutory fees “. . . is deemed to be full and complete mitigation of the impacts of any legislative or adjudicative act, or both, involving, but not limited to, the planning, use, or development of real property. . . on the provision of adequate school facilities.” Therefore, with the payment of required State-established SB 50 fees, future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not result in significant adverse effects related to school facilities and impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The proposed project would generate increased demand for school services. As stated above, the Housing Element Update estimated the development of up to 760 dwelling units on the project site, which would generate approximately 238 Elementary School students, approximately 106 Middle School students and approximately 109 High School students. The proposed project would develop 412 dwelling units and 57 JADUs, thus generating fewer students than what was anticipated in the Housing Element Update FEIR.
