ARROYO LAGO RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ADDENDUM 130 FCS Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480036/Addendum/21480036 Arroyo Lago Residential Project Addendum.docx Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Similar to the conclusions of the Prior FEIR, the proposed project would have adequate vehicle circulation, including adequate circulation for large vehicles such as fire trucks, all of which would be confirmed and implemented during the building permit process. The proposed internal roadways and access points would meet the applicable regulations for emergency vehicle widths. The proposed project would also be required to comply with applicable goals and policies from the Public Safety Element of the General Plan. In addition, the proposed project would not interfere with guidelines set forth in the Pleasanton Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and the Alameda County Disaster Plan, because the proposed project would provide adequate emergency access to the project site and would not obstruct major roadways in the City which may serve as evacuation routes, including Stanley Boulevard and I-680. The proposed project would also undergo review by Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) to ensure its proposed emergency access adheres to all applicable standards and requirements. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new significant impacts or create substantially more severe significant impacts than those previously identified in the Prior FEIR. No additional analysis is required. g) Wildland Fires Would the project: Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? Prior FEIR Conclusions The Prior FEIR found that the project site is not located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) and not in or near a State Responsibility Area (SRA). However, it acknowledged that wildfire risk exists due to regional conditions such as wind and vegetation. Compliance with fire safety regulations, including the use of fire-resistant building materials and landscaping, would reduce risks. Therefore, the Prior FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant. (Draft EIR, pp. 3.8- 25, 6-16). Similar to the conclusions of the Prior FEIR, the project site is not located in a VHFHSZ and is not located in or near an SRA. Although construction of the proposed project would not occur within a Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ), the proposed project would be required to comply with applicable fire protection measures included in the policies and programs within the General Plan and the Municipal Code, such as General Plan Program 13.1, which requires the installation of building and fire code compliant fire-detection and alarm equipment in residential structures. Further, continued implementation of the Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) and review of architectural and development plans by LPFD would assist in protecting life and property in the event of a wildfire, further reducing risk in this regard. Accordingly, consistent with the impact conclusions in the Prior FEIR, the proposed project would have a less than significant impact with respect to wildfire. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new significant impacts or create substantially more severe significant impacts than those previously identified in the Prior FEIR. No additional analysis is required.
