City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations FirstCarbon Solutions 39 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/FOF/21480022 Pleasanton Housing Element FOF.docx result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working the project area. (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.8-33). Findings: Less than significant impact. Facts in Support of Findings: The Livermore Municipal Airport is located approximately 1 mile east of City limits, and the City is within the flight path for planes taking off and arriving at the Livermore Airport. Sites 12 (Pimlico Area), 14 (St. Elizabeth Seton), 15 (Rheem Drive Area), and 21ab (Kiewit) are within the Alameda County ALUPP AIA, which is coterminous with the Alameda County ALUC Hazard Prevention Zone. None of the potential sites for rezoning are within an Airport Protection Area. Pursuant to Goal 6, Policy 20, and Program 20.1 of Chapter 5, Public Safety, of the General Plan, developments within the Alameda County ALUPP AIA would be required to undergo federal, State, and local regulatory review processes specific to airport noise, airspace safety, and other land use compatibility standards, including 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 77 regulations for the safety, efficient use, and preservation of navigable airspaces. Sites 12 (Pimlico Area, North side), 14 (St. Elizabeth Seton), 15 (Rheem drive Area, southwest side), 21 a and b (Kiewit) would be evaluated for consistency with the 2011 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook and the Alameda County Airport ALUCP. In reviewing individual project applications, the City would determine which policies and actions apply and whether project modifications would be required to ensure compatibility with the ALUCP, depending on the specific characteristics of the project type and/or project site during the development review process. Buildings within the ALUCP AIA would be required to comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for height (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.8-33). Potential Effect Impact HAZ-6: Development facilitated by the Housing Element Update, rezonings, and General Plan and Specific Plan Amendments would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.8-33). Findings: Less than significant impact. Facts in Support of Findings: During construction, development would comply with the Tri-Valley LHMP and the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, ensuring efficient response to emergency incidents associated with emergencies affecting the city. The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan outlines general procedures in response to emergency crises, such as evacuations. The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan establishes an emergency organization to direct and control operations during a period of emergency by assigning responsibilities to specific personnel, which would not be altered by development consistent with the Housing Element Update. The main roads into and out of the vicinity of the potential sites for rezoning would be Interstate 680 (I-680) in the north–south direction and I-580 in the east–west direction. These roads would act as the main evacuation routes into and out of the city. With adherence to the procedures of the Tri-Valley LHMP and the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not conflict with an adopted emergency response plan. In addition, development consistent with the Housing
