Hana Japan Restaurant Project <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />75 <br />May 2025 <br />XIX. UTILITIES AND SERVICE <br />SYSTEMS. <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 Impact <br />a. Require or result in the relocation or construction of <br />new or expanded water, wastewater treatment, or <br />storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or <br />telecommunications facilities, the construction or <br />relocation of which could cause significant <br />environmental effects? <br />    <br />b. Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the <br />project and reasonably foreseeable future <br />development during normal, dry, and multiple dry <br />years? <br />    <br />c. Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment <br />provider which serves or may serve the project that it <br />has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected <br />demand in addition to the provider’s existing <br />commitments? <br />    <br />d. Generate solid waste in excess of State or local <br />standards, or in excess of the capacity of local <br />infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of <br />solid waste reduction goals? <br />    <br />e. Comply with federal, state, and local management and <br />reduction statutes and regulations related to solid <br />waste? <br />    <br /> <br />Discussion <br />a. The project site is currently undeveloped, and the proposed project would include <br />development of a drainage ditch that extends along the site’s eastern, southern, and <br />western boundaries, as well as a new bioretention area along the northern site boundary. <br />However, all utilities for the proposed project would be sized to serve only the proposed <br />project and would connect to existing infrastructure within the vicinity, such as within <br />Dublin Canyon Road. The proposed project would not require new development, <br />modifications, relocation or expansion of electricity, natural gas, or telecommunications <br />facilities. In addition, because the proposed project is consistent with the project site’s <br />existing land use designations, utility demand associated with the proposed uses on the <br />project site has been anticipated by the City. Therefore, the proposed project would result <br />in a less-than-significant impact related to the relocation or construction of new or <br />expanded water, wastewater treatment, or storm water drainage, electric power, natural <br />gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause <br />significant environmental effects. <br /> <br />b. Water supplies in the project area are provided by the City using water purchased from <br />Zone 7 Water Agency. The City owns and operates three active groundwater wells and a <br />water distribution, pumping, and storage system divided into a number of water pressure <br />zones. Estimated demand for the Zone 7 service area is approximately 69,210 acre feet <br />(af) of water in 2025. Pursuant the 2015 UWMP, water supplies are projected to meet <br />expected demand for normal year, single-dry year, and multiple-dry year scenarios <br />through 2040.44 Given that the proposed project would be consistent with the site’s current <br />land use and zoning designations, the project would not result in an increased use of <br /> <br />44 Zone 7 Water Agency. 2015 Urban Water Management Plan.
