Hana Japan Restaurant Project <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />57 <br />May 2025 <br />XI. LAND USE AND PLANNING. <br />Would the project: <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less-Than- <br />Significant <br />with <br />Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less-Than- <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />No <br />Impact <br />a. Physically divide an established community?     <br />b. Cause a significant environmental impact due to a <br />conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation <br />adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an <br />environmental effect? <br />    <br /> <br />Discussion <br />a. A project risks dividing an established community if the project would introduce <br />infrastructure or alter land uses so as to change the land use conditions in the surrounding <br />community, or isolate an existing land use. Currently, the project site is undeveloped and <br />does not contain existing housing. The site is bounded by Dublin Canyon Road to the <br />north, Foothill Road to the east, oak woodlands to the west and south, and a single-family <br />residence is also located to the south. In addition, the proposed project would be <br />compatible with the existing surrounding land uses in the project area and would not alter <br />the existing general development trends in the area or isolate an existing land use. <br />Therefore, the proposed project would not physically divide an established community, <br />and a less-than-significant impact would occur. <br /> <br />b. The project site is currently designated Retail/Highway/Service Commercial and Business <br />and Professional Offices by the City’s General Plan and is zoned C-C District and PUD- <br />C-O. As discussed throughout this IS/MND, the proposed project would not result in any <br />significant environmental effects that cannot be mitigated to a less-than-significant level <br />by the mitigation measures provided herein. In addition, the proposed project would not <br />conflict with City policies and regulations adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating <br />an environmental effect, including, but not limited to, the City’s noise standards, applicable <br />SWRCB regulations related to stormwater, and EACCS standards. Therefore, the <br />proposed project would not cause a significant environmental impact in excess of what <br />has already been analyzed and anticipated in the General Plan EIR, and would not conflict <br />with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or <br />mitigating an environmental impact. Thus, a less-than-significant impact would occur.
