City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />242 <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />The proposed project is not located in a VHFHSZ and is not located in an LRA <br />or an SRA. The project site is currently vacant, and the proposed project <br />would connect to existing utility lines along the edge of the project site. The <br />proposed project would be compliant with the California Fire Code and the <br />CBC. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the <br />proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more <br />severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing <br />Element Update FEIR. <br />d) Flooding and Landslide Hazards Due To Post-fire Slope Instability/Drainage <br />Changes <br />Would the project: If located in or near State Responsibility Areas or lands classified as <br />very high fire hazard severity zones, expose people or structures to <br />significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or <br />landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage <br />changes? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />As noted under Impact XIX (a) above, most of the City is not located in a <br />VHFHSZ LRA or SRA. Therefore, the degree of wildland fire hazard, including <br />downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire <br />slope instability, or drainage changes, would not substantially change with <br />adoption of the Housing Element Update, and current hazards would not <br />significantly increase. <br />As described under Impact XIX(b) above, the Housing Element Update FEIR <br />indicated new development in the areas identified as VHFHSZ could expose <br />people or structures to wildfire spread. All future development on the <br />rezoned housing sites would be subject to the rules and regulations of the <br />Municipal Code and the General Plan regarding development on unstable <br />geologic soils and controlling stormwater runoff during and after <br />construction. The programs also require developments to include design <br />features and mitigation to reduce damage associated with seismic-related <br />ground failure and the establishment of Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts <br />(GHADs) to ensure ongoing monitoring and maintenance of slopes and <br />drainage facilities occur. Combined with the review of architectural and <br />development plans by the LPFD, these policies provide additional proactive <br />measures to refine and enhance the resiliency of the City, as well as <br />strengthen the City’s review of new applications for development to ensure <br />that potential exposure to secondary wildland fire hazards are not
