City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations 42 FirstCarbon Solutions Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/FOF/21480022 Pleasanton Housing Element FOF.docx and Municipal Code regulations related to interior noise standards and maximum building heights. Potential impacts would be reduced to below a level of significance, as discussed above, because future projects would be required to comply with the policies and actions within the General Plan, including, but not limited to, Goal 6, Policy 20, and Program 20.1 of Chapter 5, Public Safety, of the General Plan, and the Municipal Code regarding interior noise standards and maximum building heights permitted under Federal Aviation regulations. Further, continued consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for projects located in the ALUCP AIA would minimize the exposure of people residing or working in the city to a safety hazard or excessive noise because of proximity to the Livermore Municipal Airport. Development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to implement all applicable policies during review for conformance with Objective Design Standards. As the City receives development applications for subsequent development under the Housing Element Update, those applications would be reviewed by the City for compliance with General Plan goals and policies and the Municipal Code. Emergency Response and Evacuation Plans: The LPFD, Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD), and San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District manage and maintain emergency plans and training of staff and community members within the cumulative geographic scope and focuses on activities that would prepare the community to take care of itself in the period immediately following a local disaster. Each jurisdiction has LHMPs that are regularly updated, and each jurisdiction has emergency response plans and emergency evacuation plans. Furthermore, larger regional and statewide resource areas are regulated by State agencies to address larger-scale statewide issues. Development applications would be reviewed by the City for compliance with the policies and goals of the General Plan Update related to emergency response plans and emergency evacuation plans. Additionally, new development under the Housing Element Update would be considered in the context of the Tri-Valley LHMP and is not expected to impair implementation of or physically interfere with the Tri-Valley LHMP for the reasons stated within Impact HAZ-6 (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.8-37–39). 1.5.9 - Hydrology Potential Effect Impact HYD-1: Development consistent with Housing Element Update, rezonings, and General and Specific Plan Amendments would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or groundwater quality. (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.9-26). Findings: Less than significant impact. Facts in Support of Findings: Because much of the city is fully built out, development consistent with the Housing Element Update would largely occur on infill development sites. Additionally, development of these sites may result in other private and public improvements throughout the city with the potential for environmental effects related to hydrology and water quality. Construction: Any future development consistent with the Housing Element Update (including redevelopment of existing developed sites) that disturbs 1 acre or more of soil or that is part of a
