City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project Addendum CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum 126 the proposed sites collectively would not result in a significant VMT impact. When evaluated in combination with all Housing Element Update sites, overall VMT (21.2 VMT per resident and 30.2 VMT per resident per service population) would remain above the countywide threshold, and would result in a significant and unavoidable impact consistent with the conclusion in the Prior FEIR. However, the proposed project would not increase VMT above the levels previously analyzed and disclosed. To the contrary, the proposed sites would reduce overall VMT compared to the 2040 No Project condition and would not substantially increase the severity of the previously identified significant impact. As previously discussed, the Prior FEIR concluded impacts from VMT to be significant and unavoidable. The proposed project does not alter that conclusion, does not introduce new VMT impacts, and does not worsen the magnitude of the previously identified significant and unavoidable impact. The proposed project would be consistent with the analysis within the Prior FEIR because, as discussed above, it would not create new impacts, increase impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance. c) Roadway Safety Hazards Would the project: Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Summary of Prior FEIR As noted in the Prior FEIR, future developments and roadway improvements would be designed in accordance with City standards and would be subject to all applicable General Plan policies. Compliance with City standards and policies would ensure that future projects would not significantly increase hazards due to design features or incompatible uses or result in inadequate emergency access. Therefore, the Prior FEIR concluded that impacts associated with implementation of the General Plan would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Consistent with the development evaluated in the Prior FEIR, subsequent projects under the proposed project, including any new roadway, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure improvements, would be subject to and designed in accordance with City standards and specifications, which address potential design hazards, including sight distance, driveway placement, and signage and striping. Additionally, any new transportation
