City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project <br />CEQA Checklist Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />176 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 />City developed a Condition of Approval in the 2011 Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for residential <br />development, which is included in the Prior EIR and herein as MM 4.L-2, which requires written <br />verification from Zone 7 Water Agency or the City of Pleasanton’s Utility Planning Division that water <br />is available for a project. With inclusion of MM 4.L-2, it was determined that there would be a less <br />than significant impact on water facilities. <br />Section 4.H Hydrology and Water Quality in the Prior EIR also determined that increased urban <br />development as part of General Plan buildout could increase stormwater generation and the need <br />for stormwater drainage facilities. However, implementation of standard construction measures and <br />BMPs would reduce impacts to stormwater infrastructure and facilities to a less than significant <br />level. <br />Additionally, the Prior EIR concluded that buildout would not create a level of wastewater discharge <br />that would exceed the 8.5 million gallons per day (mgd) capacity for wastewater allotted to the City <br />by the DSRSD. The Prior EIR found that the City would also expand its capacity in the discharge <br />system which is managed by the Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency, allowing for <br />an additional 6.9 mgd of additional wastewater treatment capacity during wet-weather discharge. <br />Finally, the Prior EIR concluded that implementation of General Plan Programs 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, <br />1.8, 1.12, 1.13, and 1.14 would further reduce impacts on water supplies by promoting water <br />conservation, requiring new development fees, and water recycling. As a result, new housing <br />development facilitated by the Housing Element would not exceed the allocated capacity for the City <br />and wastewater would be treated without the construction of new facilities. <br />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />Water Facilities <br />The proposed project would include a new potable water line which would connect to the existing <br />potable water line located in Stoneridge Mall Road. A Hydraulic Analysis was prepared for the <br />proposed project by AKEL Engineering Group, Inc., dated December 2022. The Hydraulic Analysis <br />evaluated whether the proposed infrastructure would adhere to the City’s design criteria for pipeline <br />velocities and system pressures. The Hydraulic Analysis determined that the proposed project would <br />have minimal impacts to system pressure, and system pressure would be maintained well above the <br />City’s criteria of 40 psi. The proposed project’s planned pipeline realignments would be adequate to <br />meet a 2,500 gpm fire flow at each hydrant location. The existing system pipelines only saw a minor <br />increase in velocities with the addition of the proposed project, and no additional system pipeline <br />improvements are recommended. The proposed project would increase the storage requirement in <br />the Lower Pressure Zone by approximately 0.10 million gallons and would not result in any impacts <br />to pump stations. <br />The proposed number of units, and therefore, the increase in water demand, has been accounted <br />for as part of planned development under the Prior EIR. As such, water demand for the project site <br />was included in the Zone 7 Water Agency water supply plans, including the 2020 UWMP. The Prior <br />EIR concluded that implementation of General Plan Program 4.1, would further reduce impacts on <br />water facilities by requiring new development fees (capital facilities and connection fees). As a result,
