City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations 106 FirstCarbon Solutions Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/FOF/21480022 Pleasanton Housing Element FOF.docx The City finds that MM HAZ-2 is feasible, is adopted, and will further reduce impacts associated with hazards and hazardous materials. Accordingly, the City finds that, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1) and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Housing Element Update that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts as identified in the Program EIR. Therefore, impacts associated with hazardous resources would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Impact HAZ-4: Development consistent with the Housing Element Update, rezonings, and General Plan and Specific Plan Amendments could be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, could create a significant hazard to the public or the environment (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.8-32). Findings: Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.8-34). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Housing Element Update which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the Program EIR. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15091(a)(1)) Mitigation Measures Implement MM HAZ-2. Facts in Support of Findings: As described in Impact HAZ-2, several of the potential development sites are near identified contamination sources that have not been fully remediated; in addition, several former hazardous waste sites that have been fully remediated exist near potential development sites. If a potential site for rezoning is suspected to contain hazardous materials, further site characterization and/or remediation work would be required to ensure that construction activities would not expose people or the environment to adverse effects, as required by MM HAZ-2. Land uses and structures intended for human occupancy would not be permitted by the overseeing agency (e.g., ACEH or RWQCB) on sites where the potential threat to human health or the environment is present (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.8-32–34). The City finds that MM HAZ-2 is feasible, is adopted, and will further reduce impacts associated with hazards and hazardous materials. Accordingly, the City finds that, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1) and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Housing Element Update that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts as identified in the Program EIR. Therefore, with implementation of MM HAZ-2 and compliance with applicable federal, State, and local laws, as well as compliance with plans and regulations, as described above, impacts related to the creation of a hazard to the public or environment would be less than significant with mitigation. 1.6.5 - Noise Impact NOI-1: Development consistent with the Housing Element Update, rezonings, and General Plan and Specific Plan Amendments could generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the potential sites for housing in excess of standards
