Planning Commission meeting agenda packet 7-9-25

Amendment to Tract 8724, 0 Vineyard Avenue Planning Commission Page 6 of 11 emergency access easement. The design of the subdivision and related improvements does not conflict with the proposed easements. 8. The restriction on approving a tentative subdivision map on land covered by a land conservation contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act) is not applicable. The site is not covered by a land conservation contract, including a Williamson Act contract. 9. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision would not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). No discharge violation currently exists, and sewer capacity is available for this subdivision. The project would not discharge any waste other than domestic sewage, and all sewage would be discharged into the city’s sanitary sewer system for ultimate treatment. Stormwater runoff would be collected and conveyed through bio-retention basins located on the north and west sides of the parcel. Urban stormwater runoff is required to meet the City’s RWQCB permit requirements for urban development. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, (Public Resources Code [PRC] § 21000, et seq.), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), was prepared and certified by the City of Pleasanton (City) on January 26, 2023 (City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program Final Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2022040091).

The Consistency Checklist is attached to this report as Exhibit C. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 mandates that projects consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an FEIR was certified (in this case the Housing Element Update FEIR) shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -specific significant effects peculiar to the project or its site. Section 15183 specifies that examination of environmental effects shall be limited to those effects that: (1) are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located, and were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent, (2) are potentially significant off -site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, or (3) are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR. Section 15183(c) further specifies that if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to
