City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Final EIR Errata FirstCarbon Solutions 3-11 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/EIR/4 - Final EIR/21480022 Sec03-00 Errata.docx Chapter 2—Project Description Page 2-40, Second Full Paragraph To prov ide clarification, the following paragraph has been revised: Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15367, the City is the lead agency and has discretionary authority over the Housing Element Update and project approvals. The programmatic level of analysis has been prepared pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. Under Section 15168(c), “[l]ater activities in the program must be examined in the light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared.” Several streamlining options are possible, including, but not limited to: (1) the later activity may be found to be “within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR,” in which case “no new environmental document would be required”; or (2) only minor changes or additions are necessary in which case an addendum is appropriate (State CEQA Guidelines § 15164); or (3) the later activity may be found to be consistent with the zoning established by the General Plan for which an EIR was certified, in which case no additional environmental review is required (State CEQA Guidelines § 15183). or (4) such findings cannot be made and a new project-specific Mitigated Negative Declaration or EIR would be required, depending on the scope of the effects of the later activity. As described in section 15168(c): (1) If a later activity would have effects that were not examined in the program EIR, a new Initial Study would need to be prepared leading to either an EIR or a Negative Declaration. That later analysis may tier from the program EIR as provided in Section 15152. (2) If the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required. Whether a later activity is within the scope of a program EIR is a factual question that the lead agency determines based on substantial evidence in the record. Factors that an agency may consider in making that determination include, but are not limited to, consistency of the later activity with the type of allowable land use, overall planned density and building intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure, as described in the program EIR. (3) An agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into later activities in the program. (4) Where the later activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were within the scope of the program EIR. (5) A program EIR will be most helpful in dealing with later activities if it provides a description of planned activities that would implement the program and deals with the effects of the program as specifically and comprehensively as possible.
