City of Pleasanton <br />Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br /> <br />58 <br />pedestrian access on adjacent roadways, pursuant to PMC Chapter 13.04, Encroachments.66 In <br />addition, CAP 2.0 Action S9 would reduce combustible biomass and improve early wildfire detection <br />in order to reduce community vulnerability to wildfires, the highest risk hazard type for the City <br />identified in the LHMP.67 Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in no impact related to impairment or <br />interference with implementation of an emergency response or evacuation plan. <br />g. Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of <br />loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires? <br />According to the LHMP and Pleasanton General Plan Public Safety Element, wildfire poses a high risk <br />to portions of Pleasanton at the urban-wildland fringe. These areas are concentrated in the west of <br />the City adjacent to Pleasanton Ridge and to the south of the City. The central, urbanized portions of <br />the City are not subject to wildfire risk.68,69 CAP 2.0 Action S9 would reduce community vulnerability <br />to wildfires via controlled burns, reduced combustible biomass, and early wildfire detection. In <br />addition, the CAP 2.0 does not propose specific development or new residential or commercial land <br />uses that could be subject to wildland fire. Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in no impact related <br />to risks associated with exposure to wildland fires. <br />Cumulative Impacts <br />The cumulative projects scenario is overall General Plan buildout for Pleasanton in 2025 plus <br />Pleasanton population projections through 2045. Hazards and hazardous materials impacts are <br />typically site-specific in nature. CAP 2.0 projects, in combination with other cumulative projects <br />anticipated under Pleasanton General Plan buildout, are not anticipated to contribute to cumulative <br />hazards and hazardous materials impacts with adherence to applicable Pleasanton General Plan <br />policies and applicable State and federal regulatory requirements. Therefore, implementation of the <br />CAP 2.0 would result in a less-than-significant cumulative impact related to hazards and hazardous <br />materials. <br /> <br />66 Pleasanton, City of. 2021.
