Environmental Checklist <br />Aesthetics <br /> <br />Final Initial Study – Negative Declaration 27 <br />review of exterior lighting.21,22 In addition, CAP 2.0 projects or actions would be reviewed for <br />consistency with the Pleasanton General Plan and other applicable regulatory land use actions prior <br />to approval. Compliance with these regulations would minimize environmental impacts related to <br />light and glare by limiting the use of highly reflective materials and requiring the shielding of <br />exterior lighting. Thus, the CAP 2.0 would result in a less-than-significant impact related to light and <br />glare. <br />Cumulative Impacts <br />The cumulative projects scenario is overall General Plan buildout for Pleasanton in 2025 plus <br />Pleasanton population projections through 2045. Cumulative impacts related to scenic resources, <br />visual character, and increased light and glare would generally be site-specific, and cumulative <br />projects are not anticipated to contribute to cumulative aesthetic impacts with adherence to <br />Pleasanton General Plan policies and the Municipal Code. Because of the developed nature of <br />Pleasanton, future infrastructure projects under the CAP 2.0, in combination with other cumulative <br />projects anticipated under Pleasanton General Plan buildout, would not adversely impact the visual <br />character of the Pleasanton community. In addition, future development in the City would be <br />required to comply with the City’s Design Review process and be reviewed against applicable <br />Pleasanton General Plan policies and City’s design standards for design quality and compatibility <br />with adjacent land uses. Therefore, implementation of the CAP 2.0 would result in a less-than- <br />significant cumulative impact related to aesthetics. <br /> <br />21 California Energy Commission (CEC). 2019. 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings. <br />Available: <https://www.energy.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2021-06/CEC-400-2018-020-CMF_0.pdf>.
