City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations FirstCarbon Solutions 31 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/FOF/21480016 Pleasanton Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project FOF.docx The Lead Agency finds that MM BIO-5 is feasible, is adopted, and will further reduce impacts related to local tree preservation policies or ordinances to less than significant. Accordingly, the Lead Agency finds that, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts as identified in the EIR. Therefore, impacts associated with local tree preservation policies or ordinances would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Cumulative Biological Resources Impact: The proposed project would not have a cumulatively considerable impact with respect to biological resources. Findings: Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. (Draft EIR, p. 3.3-46 to 3.3- 49). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the EIR. (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(1)). Mitigation Measures Implement MM BIO-1a through MM BIO-1i, MM BIO-3, and MM BIO-5. Facts in Support of Findings: Cumulative projects would be required to comply with all applicable federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and policies related to potential impacts on biological resources. Cumulative projects would be required to adhere to standard pre-construction surveys and avoidance procedures for wildlife species (see, e.g., MM BIO-1a through MM BIO-1i). Cumulative projects would also be required to implement applicable Avoidance and Minimization Measures for riparian habitat, woodlands, and jurisdictional waters (see, e.g., MM BIO-3). Cumulative projects would also be required to abide by local policies and ordinances such as the City’s Tree Protection Ordinance and would be required to implement a tree preservation plan or similar measures as needed (MM BIO-5). Therefore, through compulsory adherence to all applicable local, State, and federal regulations and through implementation of MM BIO-1a through MM BIO-1i, MM BIO-3, and MM BIO-5, cumulative biological resources impacts would be reduced to a level that is less than significant and the proposed project’s contribution to the less than significant cumulative impact would not be cumulatively considerable. The Lead Agency finds that MM BIO-1a through MM BIO-5 are feasible, are adopted, and will further reduce impacts related to cumulative biological impacts. Accordingly, the Lead Agency finds that, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts as identified in the EIR. Therefore, impacts associated with cumulative impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. 1.6.6 - Impact CUL-2: Archaeological Resources Impact CUL-2: The proposed project could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5.
