Planning Commission meeting agenda packet 7-9-25

City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 71 applicable current State, federal and local regulations, including, but not limited to Senate Bill (SB) 18 and Assembly Bill (AB) 52, would reduce potential impacts to existing or undiscovered eligible TCRs within the potential sites for housing to less than significant. The Housing Element Update FEIR further indicated that the City, in its capacity as lead agency, has not identified TCRs on the potential sites for housing pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1 that would be adversely impacted by development consistent with the Housing Element Update. The City notified the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, the Coastanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe, the Indian Canyon Mutsun Band, the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe of San Francisco Bay, the North Valley Yokuts Tribe, the Ohlone Indian Tribe, and Wilton Rancheria of the Housing Element Update and invited the tribes to participate in consultation. As of the date of certification of the EIR, no responses were received. Nonetheless, as described under impact V(d), future development consistent with the Housing Element Update could affect previously unidentified TCRs. As discussed under impacts V(a) through V(d), the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that the General Plan includes policies and programs to conserve and reduce impacts to TCRs. Additionally, the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan includes policies that would minimize impacts to TCRs. Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that implementation of applicable goals, policies, and actions in the General Plan; the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan; and applicable current State, federal and local regulations, including, but not limited to, SB 18 and AB 52 would ensure that potential impacts to existing or undiscovered eligible TCRs within the potential sites for housing would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion According to the Cultural Resource Inventory, a search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was conducted for the project site on March 21, 2024. A response was returned on March 27, 2024, which yielded a negative result to indicate a lack of known tribal resources within the project site and/or the general vicinity. The NAHC response also included a list of tribes affiliated with the project area; however, AB 52 (PRC Section 21080.3.1) notification to tribes is not required for the proposed project given that this checklist determines no additional environmental review is required for the project, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.
