City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 125 Furthermore, the potential sites for rezoning were determined through a site evaluation performed by the City, based on seven different criteria that considered the 35 strategies set forth in Plan Bay Area 2050. These criteria include the following: (1) site size and infill criteria, (2) proximity to modes of transportation, (3) proximity to services and amenities, (4) environmental impacts/hazards, (5) impacts on sensitive resources, (6) height and mass compatibility, and (7) interest in site. The sites that were chosen to promote infill development in areas with proximity to existing transit and services and amenities. Consistency with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and a focus on concentrating future housing development in these areas would reduce environmental impacts, consistent with Plan Bay Area 2050. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. City of Pleasanton General Plan, PUD, and Specific Plan Consistency The Housing Element FEIR notes that development on most of the potential sites for rezoning would require a General Plan Amendment. Development within Hacienda on Site 5 (Laborers Council), Site 7 (Hacienda Terrace), Site 8 (Muslim Community Center), Site 9 (Metro 580), and Site 29 (Oracle), could also require an Amendment of the Hacienda PUD Plan. Development of Site 27 (PUSD Vineyard) could also require amendment of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The proposed PUD, and Specific Plan Amendments would be consistent with widely accepted planning principles of facilitating logical and orderly growth, ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses, and ensuring internal consistency among the goals and policies of the General Plan, Hacienda PUD Plan, and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. As the City receives development applications for subsequent development consistent with the Housing Element Update, those applications would be reviewed by the City for compliance with the goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan and Hacienda PUD Plan and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, as applicable. As such, if approved, the proposed PUD, and Specific Plan Amendments would serve as a self-mitigating aspect of the Housing Element Update that would correct conflicts that would otherwise exist, and impacts would be less than significant. Zoning The Housing Element Update includes policies and programs that are meant to ensure logical and orderly development and require discretionary review
