Environmental Checklist Mandatory Findings of Significance Biological Resources, Section 5, Cultural Resources, and Section 18, Tribal Cultural Resources, the CAP 2.0 would result in a less -than -significant impact related to biological and cultural resources. b. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? Implementation of the CAP 2.0 would result in a cumulatively beneficial reduction of GHG and air pollutant emissions across the City. In addition, as discussed throughout the respective cumulative impacts discussions within this document, the CAP 2.0 would not result in significant cumulative impacts. Rather, implementation of the CAP 2.0 would be consistent with Pleasanton General Plan policies aimed at reducing emissions of GHGs and air pollutants, reducing VMT, reducing energy and water supply demands on utilities, and decreasing solid waste generation. Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in an overall less -than -significant cumulative impact related to all CEQA topics addressed within this document. c. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? In general, impacts to human beings are associated with air quality, GHG emissions and climate change, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and transportation impacts. As detailed in the preceding sections, the CAP 2.0 would not result, either directly or indirectly, in substantial adverse effects related to air quality, GHG emissions, hazards, and noise. As discussed in more detail in Section 3, Air Quality, Section 13, Noise, and Section 17, Transportation, the CAP 2.0 could cause temporary construction impacts related to transportation, air quality, and noise that could, in turn, affect human beings but would not result in substantial adverse effects. However, as discussed throughout this document, the CAP 2.0 would serve as a pathway to reduce operational GHG emissions and would result in other positive environmental and sustainability effects. These benefits include reduction in building energy and water consumption, VMT, and solid waste generation and improved air quality. Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in a less -than -significant impact related to potential for adverse effects on human beings. Final Initial Study - Negative Declaration 91
