City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project Addendum CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum 92 would not be blocked by temporary construction activities (which would occur more locally to the project sites). Consistent with the analysis in the Prior FEIR, future development on the proposed sites would not conflict with an adopted emergency response plan. 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. 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? Summary of Prior FEIR The Prior FEIR determined that portions of the Planning Area, particularly at the urban-wildland interface, may be subject to wildfire hazards. Future development could increase exposure to fire risk in these areas. However, the analysis explained that wildfire risk is addressed through State and local fire codes, defensible space requirements, building standards, and fire hazard severity zone regulations. The General Plan includes policies for fire protection, emergency preparedness, and coordination with fire agencies, which reduce risks associated with wildfire exposure. The Prior FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The project sites are not located within the urban-wildland interface. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Fire Hazard Severity Zone) (FHSZ) Map, the proposed sites are located in an urban area that is not within a FHSZ.8 The Tri-Valley LHMP determined that the highly urbanized portions of the City, including where the proposed sites are, have little or no wildfire risk exposure.9 As individual projects are proposed at the sites, the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) would review architectural and development plans to ensure that new development projects meet fire protection and emergency access requirements in accordance with Section 20.24.010 of the Municipal Code, which implements the California Fire Code on a local level. As a result of project site conditions and through compliance with applicable local, State, 8 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). Fire Hazard Severity Zones Map.
