City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />62 <br /> <br />site trees by requiring the approval of a tree removal permit if any trees <br />require removal, and the preservation and protection of trees whenever <br />feasible. <br />Based on the above, impacts related to conflicting with local policies or <br />ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation <br />policy or ordinance, were adequately addressed in the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR, and the proposed project would not result in any peculiar <br />effects that would require further CEQA review related to such. <br />f) Habitat/Natural Community Conservation Plan Consistency <br />Would the project: Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation <br />Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved <br />local, regional, or State Habitat Conservation Plan? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated none of the potential sites for <br />rezoning are within any Habitat Community Plan (HCP), natural community <br />conservation plan, or other approved HCP. <br />All of the potential sites for rezoning are within the boundaries of the East <br />Alameda County Conservation Strategy (EACCS); however, the EACCS is not <br />considered an HCP. The EACCS is intended to provide guidance during the <br />project planning and permitting process to ensure that impacts are offset in <br />a biologically effective manner. Individual development projects would be <br />required to comply with the EACCS, which would be confirmed during each <br />project’s approval process. As such, there would be no conflicts with any <br />HCP or natural community conservation plan and the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR concluded there would be no impact. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />The City of Pleasanton is not subject to any currently adopted HCP or Natural <br />Community Conservation Plan (NCCP). Therefore, impacts related to <br />conflicting with an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved local, regional, <br />or state habitat conservation plan were adequately addressed in the <br />General Plan EIR, and the proposed project would not result in any peculiar <br />effects that would require further CEQA review related to such. <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to Biological Resources, the consistency checklist demonstrates <br />that:
