City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project <br />Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum CEQA Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />FirstCarbon Solutions 179 <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 />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />As previously discussed, the proposed number of units, and therefore, the increase in water <br />demand, has been accounted for as part of planned development under the Prior EIR. The Prior EIR <br />determined that Zone 7 would meet the Housing Element’s water demand (675.6 acre-feet per <br />year), that the existing water supply would provide sufficient water supply capacity, and that Zone 7 <br />would provide verification of adequate water supplies for subsequent projects. In addition, to <br />obtaining water supply verification from Zone 7, the proposed project would include drought- <br />tolerant landscaping that includes low-flow or underground drip irrigation systems, which would <br />further reduce water demand. While the City and Zone 7’s groundwater resources are affected by <br />new water quality regulations, the project’s proposed number of units are below the thresholds of <br />California Water Code Section 10912 and California Government Code Section 66473.7 requirements <br />and do not require a full WSA. As noted above, consistent with the Prior EIR, Zone 7 will provide <br />verification of adequate water supplies for the proposed project. The applicant’s Hydraulic Analysis <br />noted a 0.10 MG storage impact that is addressed by increasing reservoir capacity.111 <br />Impacts would continue to be less than significant with inclusion of MM 4.L-2, consistent with the <br />Prior EIR, and Implementation Measure 1 for applicant to pay its pro rata share of the cost to <br />increase reservoir capacity by 0.1 MG for the proposed project. There are no proposed changes, new <br />circumstances, or new information that would cause new or more severe impacts. <br />Therefore, there are no utility effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the parcels on <br />which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant, and the <br />proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously <br />identified in the Prior EIR. <br />c) Wastewater Treatment Capacity <br />Prior EIR Conclusions <br />The Prior EIR determined that implementation of the Housing Element would generate additional <br />demand on the regional wastewater treatment facility. The City’s contribution to the daily <br />wastewater received by the treatment facilities resulting from the implementation of the Housing <br />Element would increase from the current City’s daily wastewater flow. As discussed above, the <br />potential sites for development under the Housing Element would be served by the DSRSD’s <br />Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility and would not exceed the existing and future average dry- <br />weather wastewater flow capacities of wastewater or the total wastewater wet-weather discharge <br />capacities allocated to the City by the DSRSD. The Prior EIR concluded that any request for service <br />resulting from new development would be subject to a site-specific evaluation of the existing <br />wastewater treatment system’s capacity to service the development. Additionally, the Prior EIR <br />found that the City has planned its wastewater treatment contracts with the appropriate agencies to <br />accommodate future needs of General Plan buildout including new housing developments like those <br />of the Housing Element. Therefore, impacts from the Housing Element to wastewater treatment <br />capacity would be less than significant. <br /> <br />111 AKEL Engineering Group, INC. 2022.
