City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum Introduction FirstCarbon Solutions 3 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480017/Consistency Checklist/21480017 Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Checklist Addendum_Updated.docx those sites to provide an adequate inventory of housing to meet the City’s share of regional housing needs through 2014.1 However, not all 21 sites were needed to meet the City ’s share of regional housing needs, and the City ultimately selected only nine of the 21 sites for rezoning. The Prior EIR thus provides an all-encompassing, programmatic level analysis of potential impacts resulting from the development of residential land uses on potential rezone sites. The Prior EIR identifies Site 3, a 74.6-acre site containing the Stoneridge Mall and adjoining parking areas, as one of the potential sites for rezoning, and studied development of 400 units on the site. Based on that Prior EIR, the City later rezoned 10 acres for residential uses and imposed minimum and maximum densities of 40 units per acre, totaling 400 units. The project site consists of 6 acres of that 10-acre rezoned site. The proposed project also includes a related off-site construction area of approximately 0.36 acres. Any future development on the project site would be required to adhere to all applicable mitigation measures included in the Prior EIR. Because the project site and related development was thoroughly considered in the Prior EIR, Site 3 is not included in the 2022 draft Housing Element Update and related draft environmental documents. Therefore, this Checklist/Addendum appropriately analyzes the proposed project’s consistency with the Prior EIR and evaluates whether the proposed project is consistent with the zoning and development density contemplated in the 2015 Housing Element. 1.3 - Environmental Checklist Pursuant to Cal. Public Resources Code Section 21166, and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 and 15164 subd. (a), the attached Checklist/Addendum has been prepared to evaluate the proposed project. Consistent with the thresholds used by the lead agency in the Prior EIR, this Checklist/Addendum uses the checklist questions addressed in the Prior EIR as well as the standard environmental checklist categories provided in Appendix G of the 2022 CEQA Guidelines. This Checklist/Addendum provides answer columns for evaluation consistent with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 and 15164. 1.4 - Environmental Analysis and Conclusions As explained below, the analysis in the Checklist/Addendum provides support for consistency with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (projects consistent with zoning). Separate and independent from the finding of consistency under Section 15183, this analysis also provides support for evaluating the proposed project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR), because the analysis demonstrates the proposed project would not result in any instance calling for preparation of a subsequent environmental document as outlined in CEQA Section 15162. 1 Environmental Science Associates (ESA). 2011.
