development regulations that will be used to evaluate mixed use or residential projects on the sites near the Pleasanton /Dublin BART station. Representatives of the three privately owned vacant sites subject to this rezoning are serving on the Task Force. The guidelines and regulations recommended by the Task Force will be "non- core" development standards that will be in addition to the "core" development standards detailed in the Settlement Agreement and described in "Background ", above. The Settlement Agreement requires that the "non - core" development standards and design guidelines are approved as part of a PUD zoning ordinance for the three sites no later than March 1, 2011. Repealing Section 5 of Ordinance No. 1998 will remove any restriction on approval of development plans for these sites. However, because "core" and "non- core" development standards must be adopted on the schedule outlined above, and the property owners are aware of the terms of the settlement and have indicated their intention to work with the City as it implements those terms, it is unlikely that any mixed use or residential project will be proposed by these property owners prior to the adoption of specific development standards. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW On October 20, 2009, at the time the City Council was considering the previous rezonings, it also approved a Negative Declaration dated August 31, 2009, which determined that the project impacts, as they were known at that time, were less than significant (see Exhibit D). Because the environmental setting has not changed since August 2009, and repealing Section 5 of Ordinance No. 1998 would not substantially change the nature of the anticipated development, staff believes no additional environmental analysis is required for this project. PUBLIC NOTICE Public Hearing notices were sent to 2,506 property owners and tenants within the Hacienda Business Park, and published in The Valley Times. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission take the following actions: 1. Receive public input on the repeal of Section 5 from Ordinance No. 1998 and then close the public hearing; and, 2.
