City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Air Quality Draft EIR 3.2-24 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec03-02 Air Quality.docx The proposed project, currently located in unincorporated Alameda County, would build 28 single- family homes and six Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) (six of the homes would include attached ADUs). As described in the Project Description, the proposed project includes annexation into the City of Pleasanton, along with a General Plan Amendment of Public Health/Safety (PH) Overlay to LDR, a Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning. The proposed project site would be rezoned from unincorporated to Planned Unit Development-Low Density Residential (PUD-LDR). The project site was evaluated as PUD-LDR in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element Update. The proposed project, once rezoned, will therefore be consistent with the underlying general plan land use designation and was considered in the City’s most recently adopted Housing Element. Thus, the proposed project would not have the potential to substantially affect housing, employment, and population projections in the region that are the basis of the 2017 Clean Air Plan projections. Criterion 3 The AQPs also assume adherence to all mandatory regulations to reduce air pollution. Therefore, to conform to the assumptions in the AQP, a project must be consistent with all applicable measures contained in the applicable AQP. The Clean Air Plan contains 85 control measures to reduce air pollutants and GHGs at the local, regional, and global levels. Along with the traditional stationary, area, mobile source, and transportation control measures, the Clean Air Plan contains several control measures designed to protect the climate and to promote mixed-use and compact development to reduce vehicle emissions and exposure to pollutants from stationary and mobile sources. The Clean Air Plan also includes an account of the implementation status of control measures identified in the 2010 Clean Air Plan. To establish compliance with the Clean Air Plan, the proposed project would be required to comply with applicable Clean Air Plan control measures, listed below: • BL1: Green Buildings; • BL4: Urban Heat Island Migration; • EN1: Decarbonize Electricity Generation; • EN2: Decrease Electricity Demand; • NW2: Urban Tree Planting; • WA3: Green Waste Diversion; • WA4: Recycling and Waste Reduction; • SS36: Particulate Matter from Trackout; • SS37: Particulate Matter from Asphalt Operations; and • TR9: Bicycle and Pedestrian Access and Facilities. The proposed project would comply with the above control measures as specified below: • For consistency with Clean Air Plan Measures BL1, EN1, and EN2, the proposed project would comply with the latest energy efficiency standards, such as the 2022 California Title 24 Energy Code, including Title 24, Part 6, Subchapter 8, which would require the proposed project to incorporate rooftop solar. In addition, the proposed project would incorporate applicable energy efficiency features designed to reduce project energy consumption.
