City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum CEQA Checklist FirstCarbon Solutions 55 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 Findings a) Conversion of Important Farmland Prior EIR Conclusions The Prior EIR found that most of the City’s developed land is designated by the DOC ’s Important Farmland in California Map as urban and built-up land. Therefore, it was determined that the Housing Element would not directly or indirectly convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to nonagricultural use. The Prior EIR thus concluded that implementation of the Housing Element, applicable General Plan, applicable zoning requirements, and design guidelines and specific plans would have a less than significant impact on Pleasanton’s Important Farmland. Analysis of Proposed Project The project site is located on land designated by the General Plan as PUD – Mixed-Use.22 According to the DOC’s Important Farmland Finder, the project site is designated as, and surrounded by, Urban and Built Up Land.23 The site does not contain Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. This condition precludes the proposed project from resulting in the conversion of farmland to nonagricultural use. Impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is necessary, consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new information that would cause new or more severe impacts. The proposed project would not result in any impacts. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Because there would be no impacts, the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Prior EIR. b) Agricultural Zoning and Williamson Act Contracts Prior EIR Conclusions The Prior EIR found that the City’s 2007–2014 Housing Element would not conflict with existing agricultural zoning or lands under a Williamson Act Contract. Therefore, the Prior EIR concluded that implementation of the Housing Element, applicable General Plan, applicable zoning requirements, and design guidelines and specific plans would have a less than significant impact on Pleasanton’s agricultural zoning and Williamson Act Contracts. Analysis of Proposed Project As noted above, the proposed project would be located on land designated by the General Plan as PUD–Mixed -Use.24 The project site is also zoned as PUD–Mixed-Use by the City’s Zoning Map.25 22 City of Pleasanton. 2009.
