<br />9 <br />• Regulatory Floodway. The project site is not located within a regulatory floodway. The closest <br />FEMA-designated regulatory floodway, Arroyo Valle Creek, is located approximately 0.34 miles <br />south of the project site.7 <br />• Earthquake fault zones. The project site is not located within a state-delineated earthquake fault <br />zone.8 The closest State-delineated earthquake fault zones are the Verona fault, approximately 1.9 <br />miles south of the project site and Calavera fault, approximately 2.2 miles west of the project site.9 <br />• High fire hazard severity zones. The project site is not located within a California Department of <br />Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)-designated Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ). The <br />closest FHSZ is a Moderate FHSZ within a Local Responsibility Area (LRA), which is located <br />approximately 1 mile east of the project site across intervening development.10 <br /> <br />6. Use Restrictions <br />The proposed project does not include demolition of listed historic structures. Results from the <br />Northwest Information Center (NWIC) indicate that no historic resources have been recorded within the <br />project site or the 0.25-mile search radius. The cultural resources survey identified one commercial <br />building over 45 years in age (built in 1973) within the project boundaries. The building was evaluated and <br />recorded on the appropriate California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms and failed to <br />meet any of the criteria for historic and/or architectural significance required for listing on the California <br />Register of Historic Resources (CRHR). <br />Accordingly, the proposed project does not involve the demolition of any structures that are listed on a <br />local, state, or federal register of historic resources. Prior to submittal of the preliminary application, no <br />buildings or features on the project site were identified as historic under the CRHR, the National Register <br />of Historic Places, or any local historic inventory maintained by the City of Pleasanton. As such, the <br />proposed project complies with the statutory requirement under Public Resources Code Section <br />21080.66(a)(7) that prohibits CEQA exemption eligibility for projects that would demolish a historic <br />structure. <br />The proposed project does not include transient lodging. The proposed project would not include any <br />restricted use as listed in PRC Section 21080.66(a)(8). The proposed project would involve the demolition <br />of a non-listed former AT&T office building and would provide at least 59 and up to 66 townhome-style <br /> <br />7 Federal Emergency Management Area (FEMA). 2025.
