City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project <br />CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum Addendum <br /> <br /> <br /> 121 <br />maintain adequate park and recreation service levels. These include <br />provision of parkland, expansion of open space, and development of new <br />park and recreation facilities as part of long-term community planning goals. <br />The General Plan incorporates a comprehensive system of parks, open <br />space, and recreational opportunities, and includes standards and planning <br />mechanisms to ensure that recreational resources keep pace with growth. <br />While construction of recreational facilities has the potential to result in <br />environmental impacts, the EIR concludes that these effects would be <br />addressed through existing regulations, environmental review requirements, <br />and General Plan policies governing siting, design, and mitigation. The EIR <br />also notes that new development would not overburden existing recreational <br />facilities in a manner that would cause or accelerate physical deterioration, <br />due to these policies and the distribution of recreational resources <br />throughout the Planning Area. The Prior FEIR concluded that impacts would <br />be less than significant. <br />Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion <br />As explained in Section 2, Project Description, the proposed project would <br />apply a new General Plan overlay to and rezone three developed sites to <br />allow future residential development. Future residential development would <br />increase demand for parks and recreational facilities; however, such <br />demand would be consistent with the population growth evaluated in the <br />Prior FEIR and with the City's planning framework for accommodating future <br />growth. The proposed project would not create a need for recreational <br />facilities beyond those anticipated as part of planned growth within the City <br />(refer to Population and Housing discussion for additional information). <br />Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and the proposed project <br />would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified and disclosed in the Prior FEIR. No further analysis is <br />required. <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to Recreation, the Addendum demonstrates that: <br />1. No new or more severe impacts related to the proposed project or its <br />site have been identified. <br />2. There are no new circumstances involving new or more severe impacts <br />which were not discussed by the Prior FEIR.
