The scope of this Draft EIR does not preclude future environmental review of unrelated or expanded EBRPD trail projects. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration. The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required. Response to T.VINSON 1-13 The existing single-family homes on the project site at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road were evaluated in Draft EIR Section 3.4, Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources, pages 3.4-11 through 3.4-14. As noted in the Draft EIR, a Historic Architecture Evaluation Report was conducted for these homes and found that they do not meet any of the four criterion to be eligible for listing on the California Register of Historic Resources. Further, these houses are not identified as historic resources within the City’s General Plan nor the NRHP.11,12 Therefore, construction of the proposed project would not have an adverse impact on historic era built environment resources. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration. The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required. Response to T.VINSON 1-14 Please refer to Master Response 1, Non-CEQA Issues Not Addressed in Final EIR, in Section 2, Master Responses, of this document. This Master Response provides an explanation of the scope of CEQA comment responses. As discussed in Draft EIR Chapter 6, Alternatives to the Proposed Project, page 6-12 and 6-13, if annexation of the project site did not occur, the zoning district established by the County for the five existing parcels on the project site would remain as Agriculture. Under this zoning district, each parcel on the project site is allowed to develop one single-family dwelling unit.13 Additionally, since APN 941-2600-002-6 is over 25 acres in size, the development of a secondary dwelling unit is permitted. Thus, a total of 6 dwelling units could be built by-right on the project site, including the development of three additional dwelling units and one secondary dwelling unit. As noted in Draft EIR Chapter 2, Project Description, page 2-27, the proposed project would preserve 117.1 acres of open space on the approximately 130.98-acre project site. Further, as discussed in Draft EIR Chapter 4, Effects Found Not to be Significant, page 4-2, the project site was identified and evaluated as a Housing Opportunity site in the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. The City’s Housing Element Update proposed updates to the project site zoning that allowed for the development of up to 31 residential units. Thus, development of 28 new single-family residences on the project site would support the City in meeting its RHNA requirements.

The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the 11 City of Pleasanton. City of Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025. Conservation and Open Space Element.
