City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />120 <br /> <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />As depicted in the Housing Element Update Draft EIR in Exhibit 3.9-1, most of <br />the potential sites for rezoning are not located within a flood hazard zone. <br />A small portion of the eastern portion of Site 22 (Merritt) and a small portion of <br />the northern portion of Site 29 (Oracle) is located within the 100-year flood <br />hazard zone. <br />Site 3 (PUSD-Donlon), Site 4 (Owens, Motel 6, and Tommy T), Site 5 (Laborer <br />Council), Site 6 (Signature Center), the southwestern portion of Site 7 <br />(Hacienda Terrace), and the eastern portion of Sites 22 (Merritt) and western <br />portion of Site 29 (Oracle) are within the 500-year Federal Emergency <br />Management Agency (FEMA) flood hazard zone. <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that development consistent <br />with the Housing Element Update would be subject to the General Plan <br />policies and programs and Municipal Code, and compliance with those <br />regulation would reduce the risks of flooding. Furthermore, federal and State <br />agencies are also responsible for maintaining flood protection features in the <br />City. Additionally, all future development consistent with the Housing Element <br />Update would be evaluated on a project-by-project basis for impacts <br />related to flooding and would mitigate impacts as appropriate. Therefore, <br />the potential for loss, injury, or death from impeding flood flows would be less <br />than significant. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />The project site is located within Zone X, which is not a Special Flood Hazard <br />Area (SFHA).19 Thus, given compliance with the general provisions established <br />in Chapter 17.08 of the City’s Municipal Code, as well as with all applicable <br />federal, State, and local regulations, the proposed project would not result in <br />adverse impacts related to flooding. Therefore, impacts related to impeding <br />or redirecting flood flows were adequately addressed in the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR and the proposed project would not result in any effects that <br />would require further CEQA review for this topic. <br />d) Risk of Pollutant Release Due to Inundation <br />Would the project: In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants <br />due to project inundation? <br /> <br />19 Federal Emergency Management Agency.
