City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />121 <br /> <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated there are no large, confined <br />water bodies within the City susceptible to seiches and that no portion of the <br />City is located on a shoreline susceptible to tsunamis. Therefore, <br />development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not result in <br />substantial inundation by seiche or tsunami, and no impact would occur <br />related to a release of pollutants due to related inundation. <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that several potential sites for <br />rezoning are within the 500-year flood hazard zone, and small portions of Sites <br />22 (Merritt) and Site 29 (Oracle) are located within the 100-year flood hazard <br />zone (see Housing Element Update Draft EIR Exhibit 3.9 1). Development <br />consistent with the Housing Element Update would be subject to the General <br />Plan policies and programs and the Municipal Code, which would reduce <br />the risks of inundation. Additionally, all future development would be <br />evaluated on a project-by-project basis for impacts related to risk of <br />pollutant release associated with flooding and inundation. Therefore, the risk <br />of release of pollutants during inundation would be less than significant. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />Given that the project site is not located in the proximity of a shoreline or a <br />closed body of water, the proposed project would not be subject to adverse <br />impacts related to tsunami or seiche zones. Therefore, impacts related to <br />flooding were adequately addressed in the Housing Element Update FEIR, <br />and the proposed project would not result in any effects that would require <br />further CEQA review for this topic. <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to Hydrology and Water Quality, the consistency checklist <br />demonstrates that: <br />1. No peculiar impacts related to the proposed project or its site have <br />been identified. <br />2. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts <br />which were not discussed by the Housing Element Update FEIR. <br />3. No substantial new information has been identified which results in an <br />impact which is more severe than anticipated by the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR. <br />4. No mitigation measures would be required because the proposed <br />project’s specific impacts would be less than significant.
