City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project Addendum CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum 50 direct loss of nesting habitat, nests, eggs, nestlings, or roosting special-status bats. Consistent with the analysis in the Prior FEIR, the proposed sites would be required to adhere to applicable General Plan policies, such as Policies 1 and 2, which promote the preservation of wildlife habitats and corridors and encourage tree preservation. Specifically, General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element Program 1.6 requires that projects analyze potential impacts on wildlife populations and habitats prior to development using the CEQA process or other processes, as relevant. Therefore, IM BIO-1 has been incorporated below to fully implement General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element Program 1.6 by requiring project-specific Biological Resources Assessments (BRAs) and implementation of any resulting recommendations before project development occurs. With adherence to the General Plan and IM BIO-1, impacts to special-status bird and bat species would be less than significant. No changes have occurred that would alter the Prior FEIR’s conclusion. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified and disclosed in the Prior FEIR. No further analysis is required. b) Sensitive Natural Communities or Riparian Habitat Would the project: Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or United States Fish and Wildlife Service? Summary of Prior FEIR The Prior FEIR found that the Planning Area includes riparian corridors and sensitive natural communities, including Sycamore Alluvial Woodland, and that future development under the General Plan could result in loss or modification of those resources. The Prior FEIR described riparian woodland as one of the most valuable native habitat types in California because it supports a diversity of wildlife species, and it notes that streams and tributaries in the Planning Area serve as migration and dispersal corridors, breeding sites, and thermal cover for wildlife. The Prior FEIR also identified Sycamore Alluvial Woodland as a California Department of Fish and Game (now California Department of Fish and Wildlife [CDFW]) sensitive habitat with moderate potential occurrence in the Planning Area. Table S-2 of the Prior EIR separately identified two related impact statements: loss or modification of riparian habitat and loss of defined sensitive natural communities such as Sycamore Alluvial Woodland.
