Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 4-82 4.13.1. Discussion 4.13.1.1. Impact REC-1 Initial treatment and treatment maintenance activities would take place on land in and adjacent to the City and unincorporated Alameda County. Some portions of the project area are designated by the relevant jurisdictions as open space and/or parks and recreation space. Access to some treatment areas would rely on unpaved roads, which are sometimes used as recreational trails. The potential for treatment activities to directly or indirectly disrupt recreational activities within designated recreation areas was evaluated in the PEIR and found to be less than significant. The potential for vegetation treatment and maintenance activities (including prescribed fire) to cause a significant environmental impact is within the scope of the PEIR because the treatment types and activities are consistent with those evaluated in the PEIR. SPR AD-3 is applicable to the proposed project, and it requires proposed project treatments to be consistent with local plans, policies, and ordinances relevant to recreation, which include general plans, zoning ordinances, and adopted policies to avoid conflicts with recreational uses. SPR REC-1 is applicable to the proposed project, and it requires the project proponent to coordinate with the owner/manager of any recreation area or facility that would be temporarily closed during treatment activity, including posting notifications at least 2 weeks prior to the commencement of the treatment activities. The potential for the proposed treatment project to impact recreation is within the scope of the PEIR and would be less than significant because the treatment activities and intensity are consistent with those analyzed in the PEIR. The inclusion of land that is outside the CalVTP treatable landscape in the proposed treatment area (92.5 acres) constitutes a change to the geographic extent presented in the PEIR. However, the availability of recreational resources within the project area is essentially the same as outside the treatable landscape because the areas are near to each other and the recreational users would be the same. Impacts to recreation would be the same as previously described and would be less than significant. Implementation of SPRs AD-3 and REC-1 would minimize disruption to recreational activities within the project area. This determination is consistent with the PEIR and would not constitute a substantially more severe significant impact than covered in the PEIR. 4.13.1.2. New Recreation Impacts The proposed project is consistent with the treatment types and activities considered in the CalVTP PEIR. The site-specific characteristics of the proposed treatments are consistent with the applicable environmental and regulatory conditions presented in the CalVTP PEIR (refer to Sections 3.14.1, Environmental Setting, and 3.14.2, Regulatory Setting, in Volume II of the Final PEIR). The inclusion of land that is outside the treatable landscape in the proposed treatment area (92.5 acres) constitutes a change to the geographic extent presented in the PEIR. However, within the boundary of the
