Potential Environment Effects Consistent with the currently adopted CEQA Statute and Guidelines, the Program EIR will evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with the adoption of the Housing Element Update. Pursuant to Section 15063(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, no Initial Study will be prepared. The Program EIR will evaluate the full range of environmental issues contemplated under CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. The following issues will be central to the environmental analysis as described below: • Aesthetics • Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Agriculture and Forestry Resources • Hydrology and Water Quality • Air Quality • Land Use and Planning • Biological Resources • Noise • Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural • Population and Housing Resources • Public Services and Recreation • Energy • Transportation • Geology, Soils, and Seismicity • Utilities and Service Systems • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Wildfire • Aesthetics—This section will analyze potential impacts to aesthetics, including scenic vistas, scenic resources, visual character and quality, and light and glare with respect to the potential sites for rezoning. • Agriculture and Forestry Resources—Site 22 is mapped as Unique Farmland by the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping Program.13 The Program EIR will include an evaluation of converting this site from Unique Farmland to nonagricultural use. • Air Quality—An air quality analysis will be prepared in accordance Bay Area Air Quality Management District(BAAQMD) requirements.A discussion of the Housing Element Update's contribution to regional air quality impacts will be included. • Biological Resources—This section will address direct and indirect impacts to regulated waterways and wetlands, sensitive habitats and mature native trees, sensitive plants and wildlife, and wildlife movement corridors. • Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources—The Program EIR will examine potential adverse impacts the Housing Element Update would have on historical resources (or eligible historical resources), archaeological, and tribal cultural resources.

' Low density includes a density range of 2-7 du/acre Typical housing types include detached single-family units and duplexes. The medium density classes includes both low medium density and medium density.Low medium includes a density range of 8-14 du/acre. Typical housing types include small lot single-family homes,townhomes,and small-scale apartment buildings.Medium density includes a density range of 15-25 du/acre.Typical housing types include attached apartments,condominiums,and townhomes with surface parking.
