City of Pleasanton 2023-2031(6th Cycle)Housing Element Update City of Pleasanton Notice of Preparation • Energy—This section will include a discussion of the potential energy consumption and/or impacts from implementation of the Housing Element Update, with an emphasis on avoiding or reducing inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of energy. • Geology, Soils,and Seismicity—This section will analyze potential impacts related to geology, soils, seismicity, and paleontological resources from implementation of the Housing Element Update. • Greenhouse Gas Emissions—The Program EIR will analyze the Housing Element Update's contribution to greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions and potential impacts to climate change. • Hazards and Hazardous Materials—This section will discuss potential exposure to hazardous substances resulting from implementation of the Housing Element Update. • Hydrology and Water Quality—The Program EIR will analyze impacts of the Housing Element Update on drainage patterns and water quality. • Land Use and Planning—This section will summarize the land use pattern for the potential sites for rezoning, and determine the potential environmental effects of the proposed project related to land use and planning. • Noise—This section will analyze short-term impacts to noise-sensitive receptors and long- term noise exposure. • Population and Housing—This section will analyze potential impacts to population and housing that could result from implementation of the Housing Element Update. • Public Services and Recreation—The Program EIR will analyze impacts on public services, including police, fire, and schools, as well as potential impacts on recreational and open space resources, from implementation of the Housing Element Update. • Transportation—The Program EIR will analyze the proposed project's impacts on the circulation system including all modes of transit,Vehicle Miles Traveled(VMT),roadway safety hazards, and emergency access. • Utilities and Service Systems—This section will analyze the potential impacts associated with water supply, wastewater services, and other utilities and service systems. • Wildfire—This section will analyze the potential impacts to wildfire risks, adopted emergency and evacuation plans, infrastructure, and land and drainage stability. Effects Found not to be Significant Unless specific comments are received during the NOP public comment period that indicate a potential for the Housing Element Update to result in significant impacts, the following issues will be addressed in the Effects Found not to be Significant section of the Program EIR. Mineral Resources Most of the sites are urban infill sites and are developed or partially developed with existing uses (see Table 1).No activities related to mineral resources currently occur within the potential sites for rezoning and none of the sites are designated for this use.These conditions preclude the FirstCarbon Solutions 18 FirstCarbon Solutions 17 ive map approval,final map approval, and grading and building permit approval. FirstCarbon Solutions 15 Specific Plan areas. FirstCarbon Solutions 14 trict HDR High Density Residential District OS Open Space District FirstCarbon Solutions 13 ers the maximum number of units on the potential sites for rezoning,should any of the Housing Element Update policies facilitate the production of ADUs,any additional units over the 93 units would be accounted for within the evaluation because it is unlikely that all of the sites will develop at maximum density. ° The 2015-2023(5'h Cycle)Housing Element assumed 294 units at the property.Pursuant to AB 2923,and as evaluated in this Program EIR,the property would have a density of 75 dwelling unit/acre(du/acre),resulting in a total of 593 potential units,or 314 additional units to what was evaluated in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the City of Pleasanton Housing Element and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings. ' 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.
