City of Pleasanton General Plan and Municipal Codes. The City has not updated the General Plan or municipal codes cited in the SEIR. City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan. The City has not updated its Climate Action Plan. Bay Area Air Quality Management District Clean Air Plan. The most recent revision to the BAAQMD Clean Air Plan was adopted in April 2017; the SEIR includes a discussion of the previous version of the Clean Air Plan that was adopted in 2010. The revised plan does not constitute significant new information because the CEQA significance criteria previously recommended by the BAAQMD have not changed, and, therefore, the conclusions addressing air quality impacts in the Draft SEIR (which conservatively assumed significant and unavoidable impacts related to air emissions from operation of new uses within the area of the proposed EDZ) are not likely to change, nor are any new potentially significant impacts likely to be identified. Assembly Bill 52 (Native Americans: California Environmental Quality Act). In September 2014, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 52, which added provisions to the Public Resources Code regarding the evaluation of impacts on tribal cultural resources under CEQA, and consultation requirements with Califomia Native American tribes. In particular, AB 52 now requires lead agencies to analyze project impacts on "tribal cultural resources" separately from archaeological resources (Pub. Res. C §§21074, 21083.09). AB 52 also requires lead agencies to engage in additional consultation procedures with respect to California Native American tribes (Pub. Res. Code §§21080.3.1, 21080.3.2, 21082.3). On June 3, 2016, the California Natural Resources Agency released a revised proposal to update Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines related to tribal cultural resources. Notably, AB 52's provisions only apply to EIRs that have a NOP filed on or after July 1, 2015. Because the NOP for the proposed EDZ SEIR was published prior to this date, the EDZ was determined to be not subject to AB 52 requirements. Regardless of the applicability of AB 52's provisions, the SEIR was reviewed with regards to potential impacts to Native American resources. As described in the SEIR, surveys that took place within the area of the proposed EDZ and in the vicinity found no significant cultural resources. In addition, the City submitted a sacred lands search request to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on September 5, 2014. A response was received on September 16, 2014, and confirmed that a records search of NAHC's sacred lands file did not indicate the presence of Native American cultural resources in the area of the EDZ or in the vicinity. Therefore, regardless of the applicability of AB 52 to the proposed EDZ, the SEIR indicates that there would be no significant impacts to tribal cultural resources. 67
