Significant Impact <br /> Impact 4.12-4: Project construction activities would result in a temporary increase in fire risks at the site. <br /> Finding <br /> Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,the project which mitigate or avoid the <br /> significant effects on the environment. <br /> Facts in Support of Finding <br /> The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential impacts related to <br /> fire hazards during the construction period to a less-than-significant level: <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.12-4a: During periods of high fire danger or during red flag conditions, all <br /> construction activities that could create sparks shall cease. All mechanical equipment shall be equipped <br /> with approved spark arrestors and comply with California Public Resources Code(PRC) Sections 4431, <br /> 4435, 4442 and 4437 to limit potential for ignition of incidental fires. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.12-4b: Comply with the WUIP, which requires that vegetation be managed, that <br /> hydrants be operational, and that an approved Fire Prevention Plan be completed prior to construction. <br /> The Fire Prevention Plan requires on-site fire suppression resources to include shovel, water pump, fire <br /> extinguisher, and two-way radio or communications for fire reporting. <br /> Significant Impact <br /> Impact 4.12-5: Development and occupation of project homes and maintenance of the project's open <br /> space areas would increase fire risks at the project site. <br /> Finding <br /> Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,the project which mitigate or avoid the <br /> significant effects on the environment. <br /> Facts in Support of Finding <br /> The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential impacts related to <br /> operational fire hazards to a less-than-significant level: <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.12-5a: During periods of high fire danger or during red flag conditions, operation <br /> of equipment with small motors for vegetation/landscape maintenance shall be prohibited. All <br /> mechanical equipment shall have approved spark arrestors and comply with California Public Resources <br /> Code(PRC) Sections 4431, 4435, 4442 and 4437 to limit potential for ignition of incidental fires. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.12-5b: The project sponsor shall prepare a Fire Safety Awareness Program to <br /> address fire safe behaviors and fuel management. The project would include the disclosure of the <br /> Program's requirements as part of the CC&Rs for the project development. Alternatively, in consultation <br /> with the City, the proposed project could include the formation of an Open Space Maintenance District to <br /> ensure the implementation of routine maintenance measures for fire protection purposes. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.12-5c: The project sponsor shall incorporate design measures and implement fuel <br /> management measures listed in the Wildland Urban Interface Plan(WUIP is included as Appendix E). <br /> Vegetation management measures included in this Plan shall continue to be implemented according to the <br /> CC&Rs for the proposed residences, and/or an Open Space Maintenance District.
