City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 59 wetlands were adequately addressed in the Housing Element Update FEIR. The proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects that would require further CEQA review related to effects on any riparian habitat, protected wetlands, or other sensitive natural communities. d) Fish and Wildlife Movement Corridors Would the project: Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of wildlife nursery sites? Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated some of the potential sites for rezoning may contain wildlife movement corridors. Therefore, future development consistent with the Housing Element Update could result in impacts to wildlife movement corridors or nursery sites and also has the potential to interfere with the movement of native resident migratory fish or wildlife species. Future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to comply with adopted State, federal, and local regulations for the protection of fish and wildlife movement corridors in addition to the goals, policies, and programs related to fish and wildlife movement corridors in the General Plan. Compliance with these goals, policies, programs, and State and federal requirements would reduce impacts; however, the potential for impacts to fish and wildlife movement corridors remains potentially significant, and would require the implementation of MM BIO-1, which requires that focused surveys be conducted to determine whether special- status species, nesting birds, or migratory birds occur on a given project site, and that potential impacts to special-status species be avoided and minimized. MM BIO-1 also requires that a site investigation and assessment be conducted for projects on sites where potentially jurisdictional wetlands or waterways are present, and compliance with the appropriate permitting process of each agency claiming jurisdiction prior to disturbance of the feature would also protect wildlife movement corridors. Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that with mandatory regulatory compliance and implementation of MM BIO-1, future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not result in significant adverse effects to wildlife corridors or native wildlife nursery sites, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife species to drop below self-sustaining levels, eliminate a plant or
