City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Environmental Checklist Initial Study/Consistency Checklist 82 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx and Game Code and Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA ) have the potential to occur within project site. These species include the California tiger salamander, burrowing owl, American badger, and nesting birds. Compliance with MM J1 and with MM J3 as refined herein, and with federal and State regulations related to the protection of migratory fish and wildlife species, would reduce impacts to these species to less than significant. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or more severe impacts beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. e) Conflict with Local Policies or Ordinances Woul d the project: Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? The 1998 HVSP FEIR determined that development within the plan area has to the potential to impact trees designated as “Heritage Trees” by the City of Pleasanton. The 33-acre Spotorno Flat Area does not contain any trees, which precludes the project from having any impact in this regard. The implementation of the project would also not result in a conflict with any other local policies or ordinances outlined in Section VIII of the HVSP or the Pleasanton General Plan 2005–2025 that aim to protect biological resources. The City participates in the East Alameda County Conservation Strategy (EACCS), which is a conservation stategy document that aims to conserve special-status species and habitats that occur in Alameda County. As such, the proposed project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances that protect biological resources, and would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. f) Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan Would the project: Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No local, state, regional, or federal habitat conservation plans or Natural Community Conservation Plans have been adopted for the project site. Accordingly, the 1998 HVSP FEIR did not evaluate whether the development of the HVSP would conflict with any adopted Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)/Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) as no such plan that encompassed the HVSP area existed at the time the FEIR was certified. Although the site is not part of a HCP or NCCP, the City participates in the EACCS, which is a conservation stategy document that aims to conserve special-state species and habitats that occur in Alameda County. As discussed above, the proposed project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to an adopted HCP or NCCP beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. FEIR Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures were adopted as part of the 1998 HVSP FEIR (Appendix A).
