City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Geology, Soils, and Seismicity Draft EIR 3.6-22 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec03-06 Geology.docx for roads, installation of infrastructure, and creation of building pads. Mitigation measures identified by the site engineering studies shall be incorporated into the project design. Program 5.4 Require technical review and analysis of geotechnical studies by a qualified consulting Geotechnical Engineer reporting to the City. Incorporate the recommendations of the City ’s consulting engineer into the project design. Program 5.5 Discourage development in areas with a high risk of geologic hazards as identified by a California licensed engineering geologist representing the City. Allow development only when geologic and soils investigations demonstrate that hazards can be mitigated by accepted engineering and construction techniques. Mitigation measures identified by the investigations shall be incorporated into the project design and subject to approval by the City ’s reviewing geologist/engineer. Policy 6 Restrict new development of sites with structures intended for human occupancy in any landslide-prone or unstable area. Program 6.1 Prohibit new development of sites with structures intended for human occupancy in any landslide-prone areas unless the landslide risk can be eliminated. Permit development in landslide prone areas only when sites can be shown to be stable during adverse conditions such as saturated soils, ground shaking, and during grading of the site for roads, installation of infrastructure, and creation of building pads. Engineering studies shall demonstrate that structures in landslide prone areas would sustain no more damage due to slope instabilities than damage sustained by a similar building in the Pleasanton Planning Area constructed to current CBC standards and located on soils with a low susceptibility to failure when exposed to moderate ground shaking. Program 6.2 Require developers to include drainage, erosion, and landslide mitigation measures to reduce landslide potential. Program 6.3 Design irrigation systems to minimize the potential for soil saturation, excessive runoff, and other factors deemed to contribute to slope instability. Program 6.6 In unstable areas, prohibit major grading where existing slopes are 25 percent or greater. Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 9.14 of the Municipal Code, known as the Stormwater Management and Discharge Control Ordinance, establishes requirements for eliminating non-stormwater discharges to the municipal storm sewer, controlling the discharge to municipal storm sewers, separating storm sewers from spills, dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater, and reducing pollutants in stormwater discharges to the maximum extent practicable.
