City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project <br />Final EIR Master Responses <br />FirstCarbon Solutions 2-3 <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/4 - Final EIR/released/032626 DV/21480016 Sec02-00 Master Responses.docx <br />Accordingly, the comment regarding document length does not identify a violation of CEQA, nor <br />does it demonstrate that the document fails to meet CEQA’s informational or analytical <br />requirements. No changes to the document are required in response to this comment. <br />For the reasons explained above, the Final EIR will not provide further responses to comments on <br />Non-CEQA Issues. However, as previously indicated, each comment will be included in the <br />administrative record on the proposed project and will be provided to City decision-makers for <br />consideration as part of the public hearing process on the proposed project. In this regard, the City <br />will review, evaluate, and consider, as determined appropriate, all comments received as part of the <br />decision-making process. See also Master Response 2, General Opposition Comments Not Addressed <br />in Final EIR. No changes are warranted, and no further response is required. <br />Master Response 2—General Opposition Comments Not Addressed in Final EIR <br />Summary of Relevant Comments <br />Several commenters expressed general opposition to the merits of the proposed project but did not <br />raise any significant environmental issues related to the adequacy of the environmental impact <br />analysis; and/or objected generally regarding the adequacy of the environmental impact analysis but <br />did not provide a specific basis to support the asserted inadequacy. The City reviewed all such <br />general comments and prepared this Master Response to address them accordingly. Comments that <br />were more specific in nature and provided supporting information are addressed in the individual, <br />unique responses. The general comments addressed in this Master Response fall into one of several <br />categories: <br />xx The comment broadly identified environmental topics and/or requested additional evaluation <br />but did not provide supporting information as to why additional evaluation would be required; <br />x The comment identified general concerns or questions related to broad topical areas, but did <br />not provide any specifics related to the project or the analysis in the Draft EIR; <br />x The comment asked for additional studies, mitigation, or alternatives without explanation, <br />supporting information, or rationale; <br />x The comment presented generalized claims challenging the adequacy of the analysis in the <br />Draft EIR which were not supported by data or references offering facts; or <br />x The comment stated an opinion, speculation, or conclusion regarding the proposed project <br />but did not (1) provide any rationale, or (2) raise any issues related to the adequacy of the <br />environmental impact analysis. <br />The foregoing types of comments received in response to the Draft EIR are referred to herein <br />collectively as “general opposition” and are the focus of this Master Response. <br />Response <br />As also discussed in Master Response 1, Non-CEQA Issues Not Addressed in the Final EIR, above, <br />comments on an EIR should focus on the sufficiency of the document’s identification and analysis of <br />significant environmental impacts, and the adequacy of measures designed to avoid or mitigate
