City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations 112 FirstCarbon Solutions Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/FOF/21480022 Pleasanton Housing Element FOF.docx Program 1.6 of the Noise Element, implementation of MM NOI-2 would require preparation of a Construction Vibration Reduction Plan. Operational Vibration Impacts: Development consistent with the Housing Element Update would involve residential and commercial land use development. This type of land use development is not anticipated to not include any permanent sources of vibration that would expose persons in the project vicinity to excessive groundborne vibration levels (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.11-25–27). The City finds that MM NOI-2 is feasible, is adopted, and will further reduce impacts associated with noise and vibration. 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 noise and groundborne vibration would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. 1.7 - Impacts Identified in the Program EIR as Being Significant and Unavoidable Even After the Incorporation of All Feasible Mitigation Measures The lead agency hereby finds that, despite the incorporation of mitigation measures outlined in the Program EIR and the attached MMRP, the following impacts from the Housing Element Update and related approvals cannot be fully mitigated to a less than significant level and a Statement of Overriding Considerations is therefore included herein. 1.7.1 - Transportation Impact TRANS-2: Development consistent with the Housing Element Update, rezonings, and General and Specific Plan Amendments would conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.14-23). Findings: 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)). However, impacts would still remain significant and unavoidable even with mitigation incorporated. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measure or project alternatives identified in the Program EIR. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15091(a)(3)) Mitigation Measures MM TRANS-2 Implement Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduction Measures. Prior to the issuance of certificate of occupancy, a project applicant for an individual housing project development proposal that does not screen out from Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) impact analysis, as determined by a qualified consultant using the methods applied in this Draft Program EIR, with modifications as deemed
