City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />222 <br />Mitigation Measures <br />Housing Element Update FEIR Mitigation Measures <br />In certifying the Housing Element Update FEIR, the City determined that even <br />with incorporation of MM TRANS-2, the City may not achieve the overall VMT <br />threshold reduction level due to uncertainty in the cumulative effectiveness <br />of TDM measures as well as unknowns related to transit service levels, <br />transportation technology, and travel behavior. Moreover, these policies and <br />mitigation measures primarily apply to new developments; existing land uses <br />that have already been approved and are under construction are generally <br />not affected. Because of the programmatic nature of the Housing Element <br />Update, no additional cumulative mitigation measures are available. <br />Accordingly, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations. <br />MM TRANS-2 Implement Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduction Measures <br />Prior to the issuance of certificate of occupancy, a project <br />applicant for an individual housing project development <br />proposal that does not screen out from Vehicle Miles <br />Traveled (VMT) impact analysis, as determined by a <br />qualified consultant using the methods applied in this Draft <br />Program EIR, with modifications as deemed appropriate <br />by the City (e.g., to account for project-specific <br />information and/or to reflect future updates to the <br />Alameda Countywide Travel Demand [Alameda CTC] <br />Model and/or other methodologies acceptable to the <br />City), shall provide a VMT analysis using the methods <br />applied in this Draft Program EIR, with modifications as <br />deemed appropriate by the City (e.g., to account for <br />project-specific information and/or to reflect future <br />updates to the Alameda CTC Model and/or other <br />methodologies acceptable to the City), and reduce VMT <br />impacts to less than the applicable VMT thresholds, to the <br />extent feasible. <br />Mitigation Measures for the Proposed Project <br />Implement MM TRANS-2. <br />The proposed project's VMT per capita would exceed the threshold set forth <br />in the Housing Element Update FEIR. However, this impact was identified in <br />the Housing Element Update FEIR, and it was determined to be significant
