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