Site(s) affected: All sites within the Project. (Draft SEIR, pp. 4.E-27 to 4.E-28.) Public Services and Utilities Impact 4.E-9e Development facilitated by the Project could potentially require new or expanded water supply resources or entitlements. The Revised Final SEIR evaluates the impact of the Project related to the need for new or expanded water supply resources or entitlements. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant Finding: Changes have been incorporated into the Project that would avoid the significant environmental effect as identified in the Revised Final SEIR. Mitigation Measure 4.E-9, which is incorporated into the Project,will reduce the significant environmental impact to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measure indicate that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. 1. New development as facilitated on sites within the area of the Project would increase demand for water. Future water demand resulting from new development has been addressed by Zone 7's capital improvement projects to secure more water. In order to meet future needs, Zone 7 plans to improve conveyance, storage, and groundwater recharge and extraction facilities to accommodate the growth outlined in its customers' general plans,which include the City of Pleasanton. 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.E-9 set forth in Table 5-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the RMMRP will ensure that Impact 4.E-9e would be reduced to a less than significant level, and is hereby incorporated by reference and described below. Mitigation Measure 4.E-9: For any project proposed for development within the EDZ,prior to the recordation of a Final Map,the issuance of a grading permit, the issuance of a building permit, or utility extension approval, whichever is sooner, the project developer shall submit written verification from the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Zone 7 (Zone 7) or the City's Utility Planning Division that water is available for the project. This approval does not guarantee the availability of sufficient water capacity to serve the project.
