City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project <br />CEQA Checklist Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />122 FirstCarbon Solutions <br />Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480017/Consistency Checklist/21480017 Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Checklist <br />Addendum_Updated.docx <br />minimizing fire hazards (Goal 3 and Policies 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13), the Prior EIR concluded that <br />wildland fire exposure impacts would be less than significant. <br />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />When the Prior EIR was certified, Wildfire was not yet a separate CEQA topical section. Accordingly, <br />the City addressed wildfire-related impacts in Section IX, Hazards and Hazardous Materials topical <br />section. Appendix G Checklist questions were updated in 2018 to include an individual Wildfire <br />topical section. As such, the updated Appendix G questions related to Wildfire (listed in the <br />preceding table as h), I), and j)) have been incorporated into this Hazards and Hazardous Materials <br />section and are analyzed together below, along with the wildland fire hazards question that was <br />addressed in the Prior EIR. <br />The proposed project would not expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly to a <br />significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildfire because, according to the Prior EIR and the <br />California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Fire Hazard Severity Zone Viewer, <br />the project site is not located within a Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) in a highly urbanized area <br />and it is not located adjacent to unmanaged open space or a recognized fire prone area.60 <br />Furthermore, as indicated in the Prior EIR and previously mentioned herein, the project is outside of <br />the designated wildland-urban interface and would adhere to standards such as building sprinklers <br />and fire response systems consistent with General Plan, CBC, and local fire department policies. The <br />project site is also located 750-1,000 feet of Fire Station No. 2, comfortably within the 5-minute <br />response area. <br />The proposed project would not require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure <br />that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment <br />because the project site is not located within or adjacent to unmanaged open space or a recognized <br />fire prone area.61 Furthermore, the proposed project would not include the installation of <br />emergency water sources or overhead power lines that would result in additional fire risks. <br />The proposed project would not expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope <br />or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage <br />changes because the project site is located within a flat, highly urbanized area of the City. The <br />BAAQMD monitors wind speeds at locations in the Bay Area with the closest being in Livermore, <br />approximately 7.84 miles east of the project site. The City of Livermore is located in a similar climate <br />to the City of Pleasanton and, as such, would experience similar average wind speeds. The average <br />wind speeds at the Livermore BAAQMD station in 2021 ranged from 4 to 6 miles per hour, with <br />maximum gusts ranging from 20 to 39 miles per hour. These wind conditions are typical of the <br />general vicinity and do not pose a substantially increased risk for the spread of wildfire. <br />Because the proposed project is not located within a FHSZ, would not include infrastructure that <br />could exacerbate wildfire risk, and does not have severe slopes or high prevailing winds that would <br /> <br />60 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). 2021.
