City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Initial Study/Consistency Checklist Project Description FirstCarbon Solutions 9 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx SECTION 2: PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 - Introduction The subject property is located in the Happy Valley Area and is part of the larger Spotorno Ranch property referred to in the HVSP, which sought to preserve large areas of the ranch’s open space by planning for clustering of homes. The proposed project involves only Lot 98 of the Spotorno Ranch property. Lot 98 includes approximately 112 acres, consisting of approximately 33 acres identified in the 1998 HVSP FEIR as the Spotorno Flat Area, as well as approximately 81 acres identified as Parcel C. (Exhibit 3). The proposed project consists of a request for a PUD to develop 22 single-family detached homes with 22 ADUs, and related on- and off-site improvements. The development would occur on approximately 31 acres of the 33-acre Spotorno Flat Area. The remaining 2 acres of the Spotorno Flat Area are considered undevelopable because they are within the identified 50-foot setback from the Verona Fault. The Spotorno Family would retain ownership of the undevelopable 2 acres, along with the remainder of Lot 98 (i.e., Parcel C) totaling approximately 80 acres, which would be dedicated as permanent agricultural/open space via recordation of a conservation easement; the open space parcel would be designated/zoned A/OS. This Initial Study/Consistency Checklist has been completed in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines. CEQA requires that State and local public agencies analyze proposed projects to determine potential impacts on the environment and disclose any such impacts. The details of this section have been written to describe the features of the proposed project consistent with the CEQA Guidelines. 2.2 - Project Location and Setting 2.2.1 - Physical Setting The 33-acre subject property is located within the HVSP area in the southern portion of the City of Pleasanton, in Alameda County, California. The HVSP area is an 860-acre area located generally east of Interstate 680 (I-680) and south of Sycamore Road. (Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2). The HVSP area is designated within the City’s General Plan, as shown in Exhibit 3. The HVSP area consists of six subareas: the Golf Course Subarea, the Golf Course Low Density Residential Subarea, the Spotorno Upper Valley Low Density Residential Subarea, the Spotorno Upper Valley Medium Density Residential Subarea, the Greater Happy Valley Semi-Rural Density Residential Subarea (which includes the 33-acre Spotorno Flat Area), and the Agriculture/Open Space Subarea as shown on Exhibit 4. The subject property is roughly bounded by Alisal Street on the west, Westbridge Lane and Faith Chapel Assembly of God to the south, and undeveloped hills to the east and northeast, with rural and semi-rural density residential uses to the north. The topography of the Lot 98 varies, with hills and ridgelines in the northern and eastern portions of the site (Spotorno Hill) and flat terrain in the southwest (Spotorno Flat Area). The City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) generally aligns with the
