City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Draft EIR Biological Resources FirstCarbon Solutions 3.3-47 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec03-03 Bio Resources.docx species. One cumulative project located at 11300 Dublin Canyon Road is within this geographic context and will be considered in the cumulative discussion. All cumulative projects would be required to comply with applicable federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and policies and all applicable permitting requirements of the regulatory and oversight agencies intended to address potential impacts on biological resources. Cumulative projects would be required to adhere to standard pre-construction surveys and to implement, if necessary, avoidance procedures that would be required for projects with the potential to impact special-status wildlife species (see, e.g., MM BIO-1a through MM BIO-1i). Given the somewhat urbanized nature of the project vicinity and because cumulative development would be required to comply with the above requirements, applicable General Plan, and Municipal Code requirements (as described in Section 3.3.5, Regulatory Framework) cumulative biological impacts related to special-status species would be less than significant. Similarly, the proposed project would implement applicant regulations and permitting and would implement MM BIO-1a through MM BIO-1i. As such, the proposed project’s incremental contribution to the less than significant cumulative impacts would not be cumulatively considerable and cumulative impacts would be less than significant. Sensitive Natural Communities or Riparian Habitat As stated above, the geographic study area consists of a 1-mile radius around the project site, at which point undeveloped habitat meets urban development, limiting habitat opportunities for sensitive natural communities or riparian habitat. The 11300 Dublin Canyon Road Project is within this geographic context and will be considered in the cumulative discussion. Development projects would likely be designed to address future growth problems, prevent urban sprawl, and minimize developmental impacts to sensitive natural communities. Moreover, cumulative projects within the cumulative geographic context would be required to comply with applicable federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and policies relating to riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities. Therefore, cumulative impacts on sensitive natural communities or riparian habitat would be less than significant. The proposed project would not impact any sensitive natural communities and would not significantly impact riparian habitat. MM BIO-3 contains Avoidance and Minimization Measures to decrease construction lighting and prevent construction activities from crossing into the riparian corridor and would be implemented to reduce already less than significant impacts. Therefore, the proposed project would not have a significantly cumulative contribution to less than significant cumulative impacts to riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities. Waters of the United States The geographic study area consists of a 1-mile radius around the project site, at which point undeveloped habitat meets urban development, limiting habitat opportunities for waters of the United States. The 11300 Dublin Canyon Road Project is within this geographic context and will be considered in the cumulative discussion.
