City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum Addendum 91 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. f) Emergency Response and Evacuation Would the project: Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Summary of Prior FEIR The Prior FEIR found that future development could increase population and traffic, which could potentially affect emergency access or evacuation routes during emergencies. However, the General Plan incorporates policies addressing circulation, emergency access, and coordination with local emergency services. The analysis explained that roadway planning, access requirements, and emergency response coordination are integrated into the development review process. Projects must maintain adequate emergency vehicle access and cannot impede designated evacuation routes. Because these requirements are incorporated into planning and development standards, the Prior FEIR determined that the General Plan would not substantially interfere with emergency response or evacuation plans. The Prior FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The City adopted an updated Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) in June 2025 for the City’s emergency management activities, outlining how the City coordinates its response to major emergencies and disasters.7 The EOP incorporates current requirements from the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), National Incident Management System (NIMS), and California Office of Emergency Services (Cal/OES) and addresses hazards including earthquakes, severe weather, landslides, and floods. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any substantial modifications to the existing roadway system and, thus, would not physically interfere with the EOP, particularly with identified emergency routes. Furthermore, the proposed project would not include land uses or operations that could impair implementation of the EOP. The main roads into and out of the vicinity of the proposed sites would be I- 680 in the north–south direction and I-580 in the east–west direction. These roads would act as the main evacuation routes into and out of the City and 7 City of Pleasanton. 2018. Emergency Operations Plan. March, updated June 2025.
