City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project <br />CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum Addendum <br /> <br /> <br /> 65 <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />On April 1, 2026, the City sent out Tribal consultation letters pursuant to SB 18, <br />which requires Tribal consultation for projects proposing a General Plan <br />Amendment, to identify additional significant TCRs meeting the criteria set <br />forth in subdivision (c) of the Public Resources Code Section 5024.1.3 Tribes <br />had 90 days to respond and request consultation (here, until June 30, 2026). <br />Responses were received from Wilton Rancheria (April 21, 2026), Tamien <br />Nation (April 3, 2026), the Northern Valley Yokut/Ohlone Tribe (April 10, 2026), <br />and the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation (April 7, 2026). The Wilton <br />Rancheria stated that they have no concerns with the proposed project. The <br />Tamien Nation stated that the project area is located outside of their <br />traditional Tribal territory and differed to the Lisjan Nation. The Northern Valley <br />Yokut/Ohlone Tribe requested additional information, which was provided by <br />the City via phone call, and no additional consultation request was received <br />from the Tribe. The Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation requested <br />additional information related to the proposed project, which was provided <br />by the City on May 5, 2026; June 24, 2026; and June 25, 2026. Following the <br />City's provision of the requested information, no requests for formal <br />consultation or other responses were received prior to the close of the official <br />SB 18 consultation period. Therefore, SB 18 consultation officially concluded <br />on June 30, 2026. However, the City has voluntarily agreed to an informal <br />discussion with the Lisjan Nation to respond to a request received after the <br />end of the SB 18 consultation period. <br />Furthermore, implementation of policies and programs in the General Plan <br />and compliance with applicable current State, federal, and local <br />regulations, including but not limited to SB 18 and AB 52 regarding potential <br />impacts to existing or undiscovered eligible resources would ensure that <br />future development of the proposed sites would not result in significant <br />adverse effects to TCRs. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. The <br />proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact <br />that was not previously identified and disclosed in the Prior FEIR. No further <br />analysis is required. <br /> <br />3 Assembly Bill (AB) 52 consultation requirements under Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1 apply to <br />projects subject to CEQA that may affect Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs); however, Section 21080.3.1(a) <br />applies only to negative declarations, mitigated negative declarations, and environmental impact reports <br />and is not applicable to this addendum.
