City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations FirstCarbon Solutions 75 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/FOF/21480022 Pleasanton Housing Element FOF.docx Construction waste would be temporary and would be required to be diverted from landfills in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 9.21. The Waste Management Plan must include waste diversion data for the construction project. There is sufficient permitted capacity at the Vasco Road Landfill to accommodate the solid waste generated by development consistent with the Housing Element Update. Furthermore, as previously discussed, all future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to abide by and be consistent with federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste, including the California Health and Safety Code, California Code of Regulations, California Public Resources Code, General Plan, and Municipal Code. (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.15-41–42). Cumulative Impact: Development consistent with the Housing Element Update, rezonings, and General Plan and Specific Plan Amendments, in conjunction with other planned and approved projects, would not result in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure or service providers for wastewater, storm drains, solid waste, energy, and telecommunications. (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.15-45–48). Findings: Less than significant impact. Facts in Support of Findings: The geographic scope of the cumulative impact analysis for utilities and service systems is the Tri-Valley Planning Area and is delineated by the local service providers. Wastewater: The geographic context for the analysis of cumulative impacts related to wastewater conveyance and treatment includes the wastewater service areas of the RWTF and the LWRP. All cumulative projects would be required to comply with the applicable City ordinances and General Plan policies, as well as other regulations related to wastewater collection and treatment. Pursuant to Chapter 8, Water Element, of the General Plan Goal 5, Policy 5, cumulative development would be required to pay its fair share of the City’s planned sewer system improvements. Cumulative impacts would be less than significant. The Housing Element Update’s contribution to less than significant cumulative impacts would not be cumulatively considerable. While development consistent with the Housing Element Update would result in an increased demand for wastewater collection and treatment, such wastewater collection and treatment can be accommodated by existing and planned infrastructure (see Impact UTIL-3). Future development would be required to comply with applicable requirements of the General Plan and Municipal Code that aim to reduce wastewater generation flows. Pursuant to Chapter 8, Water Element, of the General Plan Goal 5, Policy 5, development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to pay connection fees representing its fair share of the City’s and DSRSD’s planned sewer system improvements. Storm Drainage: The geographic context for analysis of cumulative impacts to storm drain facilities includes the lands within the city and its SOI. In accordance with City requirements (Program 8.4), new cumulative development would be required to install on-site storm drainage infrastructure that would improve local storm drainage systems to accept appropriate design-year flows, as determined by the City Engineer. In addition, all cumulative projects would be required to comply with City and County ordinances and General Plan policies, as well as other regulations that minimize stormwater runoff, such as the CWA. Furthermore, cumulative projects creating or replacing over 2,500 square feet of impervious services would require satisfaction of the City’s Stormwater Requirements
