City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum Addendum 103 as an interstate highway, railroad tracks, or the removal of a means of access that would impact mobility. The proposed sites are developed and in urbanized areas, and development would not interfere with currently existing infrastructure, such as highways or railroad tracks. Future development on the proposed sites would be required to comply with policies and actions that ensure community connectivity. Therefore, impacts would remain 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. b) Conflict with Applicable Land Use Plans, Policies, or Regulations Would the project: Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Summary of Prior FEIR According to the Prior FEIR, the General Plan introduced new land use designations that could place residential uses near commercial and industrial areas, creating the potential for land use conflicts related to noise, odors, truck traffic, and other nuisances. The General Plan includes residential land uses close to commercial, industrial, and other non-residential uses, which could generate compatibility concerns during both construction and long-term operation. However, these potential conflicts would be addressed through existing City regulations, including zoning standards for setbacks, noise, emissions, buffers, and parking, as well as the City’s development review process. General Plan policies requiring landscape buffers, mixed-use compatibility, and mitigation of high-impact uses further ensure that conflicts are minimized. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Consistent with the Plan Bay Area 2050 Sustainable Communities Strategy, modification in land use regulations effected by the proposed project would improve the quality of housing inventory, conserve existing neighborhoods, and increase housing affordability through the addition of available housing. In addition, as detailed above, the proposed sites are within the UGB. The proposed project would also be consistent with applicable General Plan Land Use Element goals and policies that support orderly infill development and compatibility with the City’s planned land use framework. General Plan Policy 4 requires that development be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map, and Policy 9 supports residential infill in locations conveniently
