<br />3909 Vineyard Avenue Environmental Checklist <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />a,e,f) The project will be required through the building permit and construction process to <br />incorporate best management practices for discharges resulting from this development. <br />The City has adopted the most recent Regional Water Quality Control Board stormwater <br />discharge requirements related to design, construction and implementation of the subject <br />site. A design feature incorporating the BMP's is the provision ofbio-swales used as on- <br />site treatment prior to discharge into the storm water system. The applicant will be <br />required to obtain the required permits and approvals from SF Regional Water Quality <br />Board. Therefore, this would be a less-than-significant-impact. <br /> <br />b) The project will not use ground water for this project. Any existing wells will be <br />required to be abandoned pursuant to the Alameda County Department of Environmental <br />Health. The development of this project does not anticipate a loss of groundwater <br />recharge potential. Therefore, this would be categorized as no-impact. <br /> <br />c-d) Site development will alter the existing drainage pattern from its existing condition. The <br />improvements will not alter the alignment or stability of the Arroyo Del Valle. The <br />channel will not be subject to substantial erosion or siltation. Therefore, this would be <br />categorized as less-than-significant-impact. <br /> <br />g-i) Housing will not be placed within a 100 year flood hazard. The Arroyo Del Valle is <br />considered by Zone 7 as a downstream controlled release stormwater facility. The <br />development will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or <br />death involving flooding. Therefore, this would be categorized as no-impact. <br /> <br />j) The City of Pleasant on is not at risk from seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Therefore, this <br />would be categorized as no-impact. <br /> <br />9. LAND USE PLANNING <br /> <br />Environmental Setting <br /> <br />The project site is vacant. The project consists of an approval for a rezone from RM-4,000 to <br />Planned Unit Development-High Density Residential (pUD-HDR) Zoning District to provide <br />consistency with the General Plan land use designation to allow the development of a 45 unit <br />condominium development. <br /> <br />Standards of Significance <br /> <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed <br />project would: <br /> <br />. Substantially alter an approved land use plan that would result in physical change to the <br />environment. <br /> <br />22 <br />
