The applicant also posted an on-site project notification sign pursuant to the City’s on-site project notification policy. At the time this report was published, staff received no comments or concerns. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, an EIR was prepared and certified by the City on January 26, 2023 (City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Program Final Environmental Impact Report, SCH No. 2022040091 (Housing Element Update FEIR), and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and related findings were adopted in connection therewith. A Consistency Checklist has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning) (Exhibit D) to determine whether the proposed project requires additional environmental review. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 mandates that projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which a FEIR was certified (in this case the Housing Element Update FEIR) shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects that are peculiar to the project or its site. As illustrated by the Consistency Checklist, the proposed project is consistent with the development density established in the Housing Element Update and related zoning and has been found to be in conformance with the analysis and conclusions of the Housing Element Update FEIR and is exempt from further environmental review. This determination is based on the following criteria pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183: 1. There are no new significant effects peculiar to the proposed project or its site that were not analyzed as significant effects in the Housing Element Update FEIR; 2. There are no new significant off-site or cumulative impacts that were not analyzed in the Element Update FEIR, and 3. There are no previously significant effects which, because of substantial new information was not known when the Housing Element Update FEIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the Housing Element Update FEIR. The following mitigation measures identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR are applicable to the proposed project, as described in each environmental topic: ▪ Mitigation Measure (MM) AIR-1a ▪ MM AIR-1b ▪ MM BIO-1 ▪ MM GEO-6 ▪ MM TRANS-2 For the reasons set forth in the Checklist and in its attached appendices, the evaluation concludes that the proposed project qualifies for a mandatory streamlining exemption from additional environmental review under Section 15183 because it is consistent with the development density and land use characteristics established by the City in its Housing Element Update and related zoning, as analyzed by the Housing Element Update FEIR.
